Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
One day, after celebrating Mass, the aged Pope Leo XIII was in conference with the Cardinals when suddenly he sank to the floor in a deep swoon. Physicians who hastened to his side could find no trace of his pulse and feared that he had expired. However, after a short interval the Holy Father regained consciousness and exclaimed with great emotion: "Oh, what a …More
Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
One day, after celebrating Mass, the aged Pope Leo XIII was in conference with the Cardinals when suddenly he sank to the floor in a deep swoon. Physicians who hastened to his side could find no trace of his pulse and feared that he had expired. However, after a short interval the Holy Father regained consciousness and exclaimed with great emotion: "Oh, what a horrible picture I have been permitted to see!"
He had been shown a vision of evil spirits who had been released from Hell and their efforts to destroy the Church. But in the midst of the horror the archangel St. Michael appeared and cast Satan and his legions into the abyss of hell. Soon afterwards Pope Leo XIII composed the following prayer to Saint Michael
The well-known short version of this prayer follows in English The Pope ordered this prayer to be recited daily after Low Mass in all the churches throughout the Catholic world. However this practice was almost completely swept away in the 1960s by liturgical changes made in the wake of Vatican Council II.
This is a short version
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

the apple has turned rotten! 
He should leave the 'dark side' and sell his Apple on eBay.
In addition to the Apple computer, if the priest drives (or is driven in) a Volvo, Audi or BMW you can be sure he's a Communist in a Cassock and his actions should be monitored.

(ZNGA), Barnes & Noble Inc. and Caesars Entertainment Corp.
A larger group of companies -- more than 200, including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) -- is also poised to side with gay- rights advocates in a second Supreme Court case, involving a federal law that defines marriage as a heterosexual union. Under that law, known as the Defense of Marriage Act, legally married gay couples can’t claim the federal tax breaks and other benefits available to opposite-sex spouses.
--------------------------------------------------
These companies have done a cost benefit analysis on whether or not this move would be good for their bottom line and, in turn, for the value to their shareholders. Since they have determined that by their support of "gay marriage" there would be a net positive gain for their shareholders, we can therefore conclude that it is the shareholders who either don't care about homo marriage or they regard it as a 'civil right.'
Before we criticize these companies, perhaps Catholics should look to what is occurring within their own Church .
