Chinese Warships on The Way to Syria

Posted by Supertradmum

http://www.infowars.com/report-china-sends-warships-to-coast-of-syria/

from article

...the Jinggangshan is equipped for combat and was utilized as part of a “show of force” in maneuvers aimed at defending the South China Sea earlier this year.

The report states that additional PLA warships have also been sent to the region but that their identity is unknown.

Yesterday it was reported that Russia was sending three more ships – two destroyers and a missile cruiser – to the eastern Mediterranean to bolster its forces which already include three other warships dispatched over the last two weeks.

Earlier this week, Russia criticized the United States for sending warships close to Syria, with Russian Defense Ministry official Oleg Dogayev remarking, “The dispatch of ships armed with cruise missiles toward Syria’s shores has a negative effect on the situation in the region.”

Five U.S. destroyers and an amphibious ship are currently positioned in the eastern Mediterranean awaiting strike orders. The USS Nimitz and three other warships are also stationed in the nearby Red Sea.

In a related story, China today toughened its rhetoric on Syria, warning President Barack Obama that, “Military action would have a negative impact on the global economy, especially on the oil price – it will cause a hike in the oil price.”

Teachers' Day in Singapore

Posted by Supertradmum

I just received a Happy Teachers' Day message from a reader in Singapore. Thank you, and how touching. Now, I would love to be taken out to tea, but that will not happen here, of course. Below are students giving a formal tea to the teachers in their school. How wonderful to see such respect.

God bless all teachers today...including home schooling mums and dads. Home schooling is now legal in Singapore according to HSLDA.

How To Discern for Readers and Bloggers

Posted by Supertradmum

There are so many good comments and posts at this time on line. But, there are more and more comments, posts and even blogs which are pushing false teaching about the Church and which are not leading readers to holiness, which is our job.

Catholic blogging in a ministry of love. I wrote about this before here. It takes just as much time and energy as preparing and giving an RCIA class. One must pray for one's readers and commentators.

How does one discern which blogs to read and study?

1) Does the blogger give sources which are Catholic and credible?

2) Does the blogger respect readers and commentators?

3) Does the blogger love Christ and His Church more than himself?

4) Does the blogger stay orthodox?

If a blogger continually quotes priests or nuns or others who are not orthodox, one may not catch the deceit.

Pray to be able to discern using the gift of wisdom given to you at Confirmation.

Look for both Faith and Reason. Not all voices are reasonable, or faithful.

This blogger loves the Church, and I am orthodox squeaky clean.

There are many excellent blogs out there which are orthodox. Do not waste time with those bloggers who do not love Holy Mother Church. We must love the Church and feed those who are starving for the Truth.

Peace in Syria: An urgent message to the Diocese of Shrewsbury from Bishop Mark Davies

Pope Francis has called a universal day of fasting and prayer this coming Saturday, 7th September.

The Holy Father will himself keep a vigil of fasting and prayer in St Peter’s Square from 7pm until midnight.

Pope Francis explained: “we will gather in prayer and in a spirit of penance, invoking God’s great gift of peace upon the beloved nation of Syria and upon each situation of conflict and violence around the world.”

Let us join the Pope in this prayer of intercession for peace united with our fasting and self-denial.

I ask you, even at this short notice, to consider a time of public prayer in the parishes with Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament on Saturday evening around the time of the Vigil Mass and Confessions so that we may be consciously united across the diocese with the Holy Father’s vigil in Rome.

“I ask all the local churches,” Pope Francis said, “in addition to fasting that they gather to pray for this intention.” .....

Cassandra and Sanity

Posted by Supertradmum

thanks to wikicommons for Cassandra

If you know the sad, sad story of Cassandra, you will know that she was a prophet, but was cursed so that no one believed her.

In 2009, I told friends that this president would start a war on purpose in order to finally make America into a complete socialist state, no longer a republic, but one far from the brilliant writers of the Constitution. I said he would make America into a pagan nation, destroy free speech and freedom of religion out of his hatred for the Truth. I sad he wanted a tyranny joined to one, world government. That was more than four years ago. A short time in history but long enough to have had time to stop the now inevitable....

I am not writing this to say I told you so, but to grieve that people voted him in again, after I warned people about him in 2007 before the first election. I wrote tons on this man and his background for months and months-2007-2009.

Dr. Sanity stopped writing after this last presidential election. Perhaps she has more sense than I do. She is a genius and I am not. I wrote about her here

http://supertradmum-etheldredasplace.blogspot.com/

But, I am a Cassandra, not one wanting to say the future will be one, world government with tyrannies suppressing the great enemy of deceit-the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic Church.

If America goes into war, I can say I told you so, but not with any false pride or joy.

So Jeremiah told the Israelites not to listen to false prophets, nor to trust the Assyrians. He told them to repent of idolatry.

I have not heard one bishop's conference ask for a turning away from idolatry. The coming day of fasting and prayer called by the Pope is a beginning, only.

I have been mentally prepared for chaos in Europe and catastrophe in America and have tried since 2007 to warn people about the coming great trial of the People of God.

I can do no more.

A Note to American Parents from Europe

Posted by Supertradmum

I was a teen and in college when the VietNam war was raging. One of my brothers failed the physical, or he would have been drafted. He has very bad eyes from birth.

The draft meant that all young men had to be considered for war duty between the ages of 18-25. This post is not on the value or reasons for that war. The present generations do not understand all the evils and this is not the place to discuss those.

I want to prepare Catholic parents for the possibility of seeing their young men sent off to wars which are not our wars.

Some wars are "our wars". If we are attacked, as at Pearl Habour, that was a war which demanded our involvement. The take over of Europe in WWII was "our war", but not WWI. One can make distinctions.

However, the problem is not the wars but whether your children are prepared for their possible involvement.

Have you trained your children in the virtues?

Are they courageous, strong minded and truthful?

Are they clear on how to make moral judgements?

Do your children love the Church and Christ enough to die for Her, Him?

Some soldiers who are sent abroad will be killed not because they represent the West, but because they represent Christianity.

The Church has also had a small, but real strain of passive resistance when dealing with unjust wars.

Do your children understand the difference between unjust and just wars?

Do they understand the real Crusades and not modern, revisionist history?

Passive resistance is not merely something which applies to one war. It is a way of life, as in the Amish communities. If one pursues that route, one must be brutally honest about one's self. One cannot be hypocritical about passive resistance.

Would one defend his or her family against aggression?

And so on

Also prepare your children by studying the great minds of the Church on war. St. Thomas Aquinas is the best. Sadly, we are woefully lacking in moral theologians in our time. Woefully.

Think, pray, reflect, act.

I was against the Iraq War even before it started. I almost lost a job in a Catholic institution for this stand. I was called on to defend my position in front of members of the administration. They could not argue with Aquinas on preemptive strikes, although we continued to agree to disagree. I have been against all involvement in the Middle East unless we are directly attacked.

In my old blog, I wrote that preemptive wars are unjust, not merited, morally wrong.

America getting involved in other people's civil wars, or tribal wars, or sectarian wars, is unjust.

The West needs to face gross hypocrisy concerning involvement in the Middle East. There can be only one reason why the administration feels a need to get involved.

I am also pro-Israel, but only a just war supporter.

BTW, I predicted in 2009 that this current president would call a draft for some reason. He is pro-draft.

Make sure you and your children are not knee-jerk supporters of policies. Make sure they think like Catholics.
