Unnamed honor student who did not show sufficient trust or respect

Unnamed Laura who failed to sufficiently honor Catholic College’s mission

Hemingway started out as a reporter with no college degree.  Student Laura X at a Catholic College in Miami might want to do the same.

Barry University has suspended a student reporter for her participation in a Project Veritas video that featured a university coordinator assisting in the creation of an ISIS club on campus.

The student journalist, identified only as Laura, recorded her efforts trying to launch a “Sympathetic Students in Support of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria,” student group last week.

This morning, she received an emailed notice from Maria Alvarez, the university’s associate vice president and dean of students, stating she had been suspended over allegations that her reporting violated the university’s Code of Conduct.

“In response to complaints filed by members of the University community on Wednesday, April 3, and received by my office this morning, April 6, 2015, your alleged actions were the cause root of disruption of the University community and the creation of a hostile environment for members of the University staff,” the notice read. “Because these alleged actions violate Barry University’s Code of Conduct, effective immediately you are placed on Interim Suspension from Barry University.”

The university’s Code of Conduct demands that “[m]embers of the campus community must act out of mutual respect to establish an atmosphere of trust,” and that enrollment at the school “presumes an obligation on the part of the student to act at all times in a manner compatible with the university’s purpose, processes and functions.”

Of course, in order to have trust and be respected you have to be trustworthy and respectable, yes?

If I had to be part of an organization which demanded I “act at all times in a manner compatible” with it’s “purpose, processes and functions,” I’d run for the door.  That’s because I would be not in the bosom of a Catholic school, but the grip of an Orwellian network which cared nothing for my life nor the lives of victims anywhere.

During the suspension, Laura is forbidden from visiting the Barry University campus or attending classes.

 

 

Pope tees up for UN tyrants

InfoWars reports:

Officials within the UN are pushing the notion that the human population should be reduced in order to effectively combat climate change.

The long standing notion has been continually pushed by Christiana Figueres, the Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC). In 2013, Figueres had a conversation with Climate One founder Greg Dalton regarding “fertility rates in population,” as a contributor to climate change.

For ‘planners’ everything is a system with inputs and outputs.  Make this intervention here, and the humans will provide that targeted output there.  We are to be pushed, molded, formed, crushed.

“Obviously less people would exert less pressure on the natural resources,” Figueres answered, also noting that estimates suggest the Earth’s population will rise to nine billion by 2050.

Dalton then questioned whether that figure could in some way be stalled or halted.

“So is nine billion a forgone conclusion? That’s like baked in, done, no way to change that?” he asked Figueres.

“There is pressure in the system to go toward that; we can definitely change those, right? We can definitely change those numbers,” Figueres said in response.

Really, we should make every effort to change those numbers because we are already, today, already exceeding the planet’s planetary carrying capacity.” she also claimed.

What kind of sweeping, arrogant, ignorant statement is that?  Is the Earth some Airbus to Hell where you can only carry on one bag and a computer?  Someone told her the ‘planet’s planetary capacity’ and she believed it – and look, we’ve exceeded it already!  That must be why we have all that warming which no-one can feel or detect. Humans have already ruined the climate so humans must cease.

“So yes we should do everything possible. But we cannot fall into the very simplistic opinion of saying just by curtailing population then we’ve solved the problem. It is not either/or, it is an and/also.” the UN official also said.

There is one thing liberals never are and it’s simple.  They are always complex and complicated and we are simple. That must be why Pope Francis told us on Good Friday to:

“enter into the mystery of the empty tomb”, to “seek a deeper meaning, an answer, and not an easy one, to the questions which challenge our faith, our fidelity and our very existence.” 

Truth is so complicated it can’t even be known or believed.  To have faith is far too simple a solution.  We must always question, question, question.

That must also be why Pope Francis, author of the upcoming encyclical on the climate and sustainability, recently warned against breeding like rabbits.  I think three-children is the “number experts say is important to keep the population going,” he advised.

Why we must get this kind of moral advice from someone who has such weak discernment, who relates to UN overlords with planetary egos and systemic ignorance, I have no idea; but he’s the Pope foisted on us upon Benedict’s abdication, and we have to size up the situation for what it is.

Climate change ‘c’atholicism coming up next, you dirty rabbits.

 

 

 

 

..and you will see the awful horror (sitting) in the place where (they) should not be.

..and you will see the awful horror (sitting) in the place where it should not be.

My entire life I’ve been treated to explications on how Church teaching is neither Left nor Right, Liberal nor Conservative, neither Democrat nor truly Republican.  It’s something higher, something ‘above,’ yes?  It’s something other than, or outside politics; something of God, of theology.  That’s garbage.

There’s nothing good or Catholic about liberalism and you know it’s true.

I was presented with an Easter family discussion where someone I love reiterated how it’s so wrong to use ‘religion’ as a reason to kill.  It hurt me to have to defend the Church at the expense of this person’s ego, but unfortunately he was stuffed full of television and the New York Times, so his world was full of false facts and plied assertions.  Garbage in, garbage out: the hermit’s rule is one of a clear mind and a pure heart.

Religion is not only a reason to kill sometimes, it’s a reason for everything –  but that religion must be Catholicism.  Everything done, every choice made, has either a reason or an excuse.  This depends on whether it’s wrong or right, loving or careless, prudent or foolish. Only an atheist would try to separate reason from religion as if it were possible.

The same applies to politics because it is about power.  Liberal churchmen like to pretend there is something true and good in big government but God has nothing to do with the usurpation of rights to life, property, and family.  Such statist ideas, which you find in print, television, and in some contemporary papal encyclicals, contradict the Magisterium and the teaching of social justice heroes Leo XIII and Pius XI.  Their ideas are new, and they represent a ‘rupture’  when taken independently.

Now we’re about to be oppressed with a global warming/sustainability encyclical. Don’t pretend it’s Catholic when you see it and don’t try to massage it.  Measure it against the context of all (not simply recent) Church teaching.

In general this is a very poor era of popes who either enforce or permit a smothered, collapsing, and dysfunctional Church; a Church where ‘Catholic’ seems to mean all kinds of Protestants and heretics – people who show up on Easter like they’re doing God a favor.

Such ‘catholics’ vote liberal.  Why confuse yourself by imagining there are any good reasons to do likewise?

An NBC affiliate reports:

The church attendance differences are most stark when you look at Catholics.

Yes, Mr. Obama won the overall Catholic vote in 2012, but Mr. Romney beat the president handily among Catholics who attended church at least weekly – 57% to 42%. In fact, those figures matched exactly the margins Mr. Romney had over Mr. Obama with Protestant Christians.

But among more casual Catholics, those who attend church less than once a week, Mr. Obama defeated Mr. Romney with similar ease – 56% to 42%. (There are similar differences among protestant voters, though Mr. Romney won both regular church attendees and less-frequent churchgoers.)

The message in these numbers? There will not only be more people in the pews around this weekend in your house of worship, there will probably be a different body politic.

Those Easter-people aren’t united to the Church Militant, and unless something changes, will not be united to the Church Suffering or Triumphant. Hence, they aren’t the Church.

The Vatican will count them as Catholics, the press will trumpet their politics, the Synod on the Family will survey them, and the Pope will chase them because they are truly his people; but they aren’t Catholics.  They’re just liberals, and until we purge the Church of their ranks in the laity and the hierarchy, she will continue to wilt, and society to blacken.

To close, here is an Easter church-going family with whom Pope Francis and the U.S. Bishops find much in common.
