It’s about destroying religious freedoms for Christians.
The Left doesn’t want to accommodate Christians. They want us and our values and beliefs forced out.
Gay activists have targeted Kim Davis. The media calls her a bigot.But the whole story shows she has tried to avoid this situation from the start.
Kim Davis’ attorney, Liberty Counsel’s Mat Staver, has asked the courts and Gov. Steve Beshear to change licensing procedures to accommodate Davis’ convictions and those of others with similar beliefs.
Staver suggested several options, including removing the clerk’s name from all marriage licenses, making the state capitol the processing center for licenses and switching to an online application process.
Davis also tried to take pre-emptive measures to avoid the predicament immediately after taking office as clerk in January, writing state legislators in anticipation of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in favor of same-sex marriage in June.
“I urged and beseeched them to get legislation on the floor while we still had time to protect clerks who had religions objections to same-sex marriage,” she said. “I got only one response, and nothing happened.”
The video is a little more than an hour long,but sooooooooooo worth watching!
Science Tests Faith [1:05:38]
One of the miracles the speaker discusses in the video is of a consecrated host in Buenos Aires, Argentina, that began to bleed. It begins at 15:30 on the video. In the liquid, scientists found human flesh and blood. This confirms the Catholic teaching that the Body and Blood of Our Lord is present in BOTH the consecrated bread and consecrated wine.
“Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior, is wholly present under the appearance either of bread or of wine in the Eucharist. Furthermore, Christ is wholly present in any fragment of the consecrated Host or in any drop of the Precious Blood. Nevertheless, it is especially fitting to receive Christ in both forms during the celebration of the Eucharist. This allows the Eucharist to appear more perfectly as a banquet, a banquet that is a foretaste of the banquet that will be celebrated with Christ at the end of time when the Kingdom of God is established in its fullness (cf. Eucharisticum Mysterium, no. 32).”

No post of any substance today. My beloved child bride and I are going to witness the Winnebago Middle School 7th graders as they gird their loins to do battle this morning. It’s become one of the great joys of my life.
CLARIFICATION REGARDING ABSOLUTION OF THE SIN OF ABORTION
I am afraid that publication in the media of the Year of Mercy expansion of the faculty to absolve from the sin of abortion will cause some confusion among those who have repented of this sin and have already been absolved in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Please note that priests in the United States have already had the authority to absolve from this sin in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Because this sin is grave enough to result in an automatic excommunication, canon law normally restricts the lifting of the penalty of an excommunication to the authority of the bishop. But for the singular case of abortion, priests with the faculty to hear confessions in the United States have already had the faculty to absolve from this sin and lift the excommunication.
Therefore, someone who had repented of this sin and received absolution from a priest in the Sacrament of Reconciliation does not need to worry that they were not properly absolved.
Bishop John Stowe, OFM Conv.

TO ALL LURKERS: IF YOU SKIP EVERYTHING ELSE, PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO THE PAUL HARVEY VIDEO AT THE END OF THE COMMENTS. YOU’LL THANK YOURSELF
It as a tough call. It’s Friday. Sometimes I post good/silly/offbeat stuff. Other times I mix fun with political bloodsport. I decided to do a mostly non-politically-correct thing. I have a feeling a lot of the lurkers here just check out the headers anyway.
We have some food-related stuff today.
Terrible Woman Berating Food Staff Meets Instant Justice
This video will infuriate you until the very end
WATCH AS KARMA COMES UPSIDE THIS WOMAN’S SKULL
In a video uploaded to YouTube on Thursday, an irate woman was captured hurling insults at restaurant workers who had the audacity to put green peppers on a meal for kids who “don’t eat green things!”
“If you want to be polite to the customer, then you speak English,” barks the impolite customer. “My kids don’t eat green things, they eat red peppers!”
When the workers, who remain calm throughout the video, offer to make a new meal, the woman calmly reminds them that “I DON’T HAVE 15 MINUTES!”
DW AND I WATCH A LOT OF THE FOOD NETWORK. THERE WERE RUMORS THAT SUPER CHEF BOBBY FLAY WAS GETTING A DIVORCE FROM HIS WIFE, STEPHANIE MARCH, AT ABOUT THE TIME HE WAS MESSING WITH ANOTHER TV HOST, GIADA DeLAURENTIS. ALL I KNOW IS THESE PEOPLE MAKE A HELL OF A LOT OF MONEY.
Giada De Laurentiis Is Officially Divorced… and It Was Expensive
TMZ has obtained a copy of the final divorce judgment, which orders Giada to pay Todd $9K a month in child support. Todd also gets their $3.2 million house in Pacific Palisades and $300,000 in art and furnishings. He also gets to keep his membership in the swanky Bel-Air Bay Club, which overlooks the Pacific.
They’re dividing up various bank accounts, with a total balance north of $2 million.
And of course, he gets to keep his Porsche and she gets to keep hers.
No one’s getting spousal support, because they’re both rich. His estimated worth is $15 million… hers is $20 million. https://www.yahoo.com/celebrity/news/giada-de-laurentiis-is-officially-divorced—-and-it-was-expensive-231337525.html

Quartet Charged With Attack On McDonald’s Worker
Girl, 16, was pulled through drive-thru window

Gruntington Post – When the Hillary Clinton campaign announced their latest gimmick to attract donations from misguided individuals willing to add their pocket cash to that of Saudi sheiks, shady arms dealers, Planned Parenthood, union thugs, various terrorist groups and about half the third-world dictators on the planet to help Hillary get what she wants, it started a frenzy of speculation about what useless token was being sent out in the ‘ThxBox.’ Here at the Gruntington Post, we have no idea, and really, really don’t want to know.
However, we have a super-computer capable of running the statistics and determining the objects that you can bet your grandmother will almost CERTAINLY NOT be in any of the boxes. Here’s the top ten.
Top Ten List of Objects LEAST Likely to be in a ThxBox:
1. Comprehensive list of Hillary’s accomplishments as SecState. 2. The half-gallon of Vince Foster’s missing blood that should have been at his death scene if he’d really shot himself in the head at Fort Marcy.
3. Complete collection of futures market investing books that Hillary used to become an expert before she made her cool $100,000 on the only transaction she ever made.
4. Complete collection of endearing and romantic handwritten letters sent between Bill and Hillary during the White House years in the 1990s.
5. Thoroughly convincing autographed photo of Hillary convalescing under doctors’ care for the concussion that prevented her from testifying before Congress about Benghazi.
6. Replica of the ethics medal Hillary was awarded for her truthful and courageous work during the Watergate Hearings in the 1970s.
7. Framed and autographed photo of Clinton advisor Sid Blumenthal and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with Sid’s inscription: “Sorry about all those anti-Jewbag epithets over the years, Bibi. We love yah, and aren’t actively working toward the annihilation of Israel. We swear!”
8. Actual human teeth collected from the Bosnian snipers captured after firing on Hillary’s diplomatic entourage on the tarmac at Sarajevo. 9. Authentic pair of Huma Abedin’s panties recovered from somewhere in the Scooby Van that may or may not have been laundered since the Iowa State Fair. You have to contribute to find out!
10. A copy of Dr. Alma Bond’s new book about Hillary being poised to be America’s first Narcissist Lesbian President.
One would think that in more than 4 1/2 years of poring over a multitude of news sources plumbing the depths of human depravity that one would be inured to almost anything. Most times, such is the case. But sometimes the further one goes the worse it seems to get. Some of today’s outrages include but not exclusively are:
Gwen Ifill (who actually moderated a presidential debate) mocking Benjamin Netenyahu
Barbara Mikulski committing to be the 37th vote to insure Barry gets his Iran deal
Black Baltimore judge decides six cops will be tried seperately so racist DA can showboat
Hillary webmaster will plead the 5th rather than testify before Congress
Syrian refugees stopped at Hungarian border
Obama dances with the natives
Policewoman in uniform refused service at Arbys by dreadlocked nigga – claims it “was a joke”
Kerry promises Saudis, Israelis money after he sold them out for a chance at a Nobel prize and Barry’s ‘legacy’
Teenaged male crossdresser uses girls’ bathroom; hundreds walk out in protest
I haven’t scanned the web for a few hours so who knows what else I find.
Recent history is rife with examples of Christians being vilified as “slippery slope” straw man haters.
But each time, we have been proved right.
When “The Pill” was made available to the public in 1964, Christians warned it could lead to promiscuity and a rise in children living in broken and single parent homes.
This happened.
When abortion was made legal throughout all nine months of pregnancy in 1973, Christians warned that it would not save women’s lives, but would instead lead to devaluing all human life, especially children’s lives.
This happened.
When euthanasia was legalizedin Oregon and other states, Christians warned that the non-terminally ill and eventually the mentally handicapped, or simply the unwanted, would be killed in the name of mercy.
This is happening.
When gay marriage was legalizedin all 50 states, Christians warned it would lead to demands for legalizing polygamy.
