What? Canada thinks they are the first to try this ****? Heck no. There has been a struggle between church and state since Charlemagne was crowned by Pope Leo. Germany and France tried to destroy the role of the Vatican and failed. China will fail, Canada will too. Remember the gates of hell won’t prevail folks. And if they do try to pass legislation to do this they will be looking at a religious war, which won’t be good for anyone, especially for them.

 

[alih]

let the miscreates know that not one red farthing of your children’s tax money to go into the coffers of this or any other government that denigrates the family by promoting the life style of sterile individuals whose goal is "personal satisfaction’ without responsibility. let them collect their taxes from the heirs of the degenerates. alih.

Good reminders, Jackman, of ongoing struggles between Church and State. I would like us to mention one more past struggle…

A mere 130 miles and 76 years away from me (South Texas) it was virtually illegal to be a practicing Catholic in Mexico! The 1917 Constitution was fairly open in its disdain for the Church. It took about 8 more years for the legalities to filter down to actual persecution. But 2 state leaders, Calles and Obregon, assisted with this persecution against Catholics which became full blown from 1926 - 1929.

1. People shot each other up over this one, with many skirmishes over several years. JPII, I think in the late 1980’s, finally canonized several folks who died for their faith.
2. Ricardo Montalban was a youngster in Mexico City at the time, who had to hide his books under his clothes, on the way to his “hidden” private Catholic School. When the Catholic schools were “officially” closed, the government encouraged and allowed Protestant groups to move from USA into Mexico and set up substitute schools and churches… a sure sign that it wasn’t Christianity in general the government hated, it was Catholics.
3. A group of Mexican “Cordi Marian” sisters in San Antonio now run a retreat center at the site of their old dairy. In 1927-28 they ran for their lives out of Mexico, and found this old dairy on the outskirts of San Antonio. The oldest sister was still alive 2 years ago, and was relating some first hand experiences to us about the persecutions of the '20’s.
4. Our 68 yr old friend Janie G. tells us about it also. Her parents were young serious Church people when the battle broke out. They ran to Texas and stayed. She is a 2nd generation “fugitive”.
5. My 70 yr old friend Javier G. is a retired banker in Laredo. His mom and dad also ran for their lives back then, just across the border. He was born here in Texas shortly after.
6. Both of my friends relate to us something we might not read, or might not believe if we did read it. They both say that the problem started when “Los Masones” came into governmental power in Mexico. I don’t know if the Mason connection was the full reason for this tragedy, but these folks believe it.
7. Last month we housed a mixed group of traveling Christian singers, performing as a Catholic group. They told us that, even though they have managed to get into all of Latin America and Cuba, they cannot get into Mexico, because they are officially a Catholic group. If they were a Protestant singing group, no problem.
8. Our parish had the same problem when 10 of us were traveling through Piedras Negras inland to visit our Felician Sister friends near Nueva Rosita. We all had to be careful at the border not to mention “parish to parish” items, nor to mention the Felician Sisters. We were just going to visit our friends for the weekend.
   If the Mexican border people know you are Church related, some of them give you more trouble than otherwise. (They can’t stop you, they just give you a hassle).

Today, of course, the early persecutions are almost forgotten. The last generation directly involved is quickly dying off.
Youngsters of Mexican decent, who have traded their Catholic faith for a generic version, or worse yet, for nothing, might have a higher opinion of their grandparents’ faith if they knew some of this. It is NEVER taught in any of the schools I know of.

Anyone interested in this kind of “close by” history, just call up “Cristero Rebellion” on your favorite searcher, and you are off and running!

GOD BLESS US ALL!

As part of the immigration reform, I say we send all the liberals to canada and they can send all their conservatives here. We can even give them Caulifawnia, Oregon, and Washington State.

Thanx Scott. I am bringing my Canadian pea-meal bacon vending bus. Rosalinda wants me to pick her up on the way south. She is going to become a sidewalk chalk portrait artist.

I sensed that in America, what group you belonged to, defined you in others’ eyes. Kind of like small town everywhere.

So very far from the truth, my friend, that my eyes sting. Let me introduce you to the Family Compact.
Lost&Found:

once again, feelin’ like I’m in a foreign country, only this was once my home.

With you there.
