Pancakes are now forever associated with Shrove Tuesday as it is a sort of all-in-one way of using up some fatty foods before Lent .
In the past the ideas was for families to clear out their cupboards and remove the fattening foods (normally the tempting ones) so they aren't in their house during Lent.
Eggs, milk and sugar aren't traditionally eaten in fasting season, so need to be scoffed beforehand.
The actual tradition of mixing them up for pancakes is thought to come from a pagan ritual, but others say it is a Christian tradition - with each ingredient representing one of the four pillars of the faith. Eggs for creation, flour sustenance or the staff of life, salt for wholesomeness and milk for purity. Link

Pope Francis Says Sex Abuse Victims Are Slandering Catholic Bishop They Say Helped Commit Sex Crimes

Pope Francis accused sex abuse victims of slandering a Catholic bishop they said was complicit in their abuse, angering Chileans at the end of his visit to the South American nation.
The pope’s shocking comment referred to Bishop Juan Barros, whom victims and advocates condemned for covering up sex crimes committed by Rev. Fernando Karadima. The scandal has rocked Chilean trust in the Catholic Church.
Until he saw proof that Barros was complicit, the pope said on Thursday, accusations against him were “all calumny,” or false slander against his reputation .Chileans were angered when Pope Francis named Barros the bishop of the southern diocese of Osorno in 2015, so much so that many Catholics and priests in the diocese refuse to recognize him as their bishop and mounted a protest when he arrived to his post. The pope called the controversy in Osorno “stupid” but looked to smooth things over during his visit this week.

Dear Jim,
A poll by Santiago-based think tank Latinobarometro this month showed that the number of Chileans calling themselves Catholics fell to 45 percent last year, from 74 percent in 1995. www.reuters.com/…/pope-francis-ar…
Is this the result of Communist influence or something more? Communism is surely the enemy of Catholicism or any other religion. But, is it the main cause of the decline of Roman Catholicism in Chile? Has the abuse scandal and coverups had an impact as it has around the world?
Abortion in all forms is still illegal and heavily criticized in Chile. I've read that churches look out over almost every plaza and the majority of Chileans celebrate Easter and Christmas.
However, underneath these devout Catholic characteristics lies a culture that has deviated from this once strong Spanish religious influence. While Chile may be culturally and politically Catholic, the majority of its citizens are not practicing nor do they believe in Catholic doctrines or thought. The …Mai mult

Dear Jim,
As a non Chilean I can only look from afar and attempt to draw a few conclusions about what occurred in your country several days ago. As you've written, who knows what Juan Barros did or did not do years ago? However, given the abuse scandals that have rocked the Church worldwide, one could justifiably ask whether it was prudent to appoint such a man bishop who was surrounded by controversy when there were other choices that could have been made by Francis.
But the hits keep on coming from this pope. Giving an honor to an abortion rights activist, an obvious PR move of marring a couple on a plane, praise for communism ("it is communists who think like Christians") and now this. I don’t remember any pontiff speaking or acting like this man, Francis. His whole pontificate has been a confusing hash of leftist politics and little spiritual guidance beyond contradictory statements.
Add to it is Francis' belligerence and 'in your face' tone when his pastoral mask slipped a little …Mai mult

On January 10, 2018 a physical and cognitive examination was given to President Donald Trump. The results were presented in an hour long Q & A session with the loons in the American press corps yesterday, January 16, 2018. I am including the cognitive assessment portion of the test here.
Although physical exams are undoubtedly given to the hierarchy in the Catholic Church, we never hear about the results of those tests especially in such an open and transparent forum as was President Trump's results.
Without offering my own personal opinion or speculation, what do YOU think would be the results if bishops, cardinal electors and, indeed, the Pope were to take a cognitive test.
Incidentally, President Trump got all 30 out of 30 correct.

Are the priest's sermons 10 minutes or less? Are those sermons interesting or will he put you to sleep? Is he active in parish functions or not? Have his sermons touched upon the crucial issues of the times such as but not limited to artificial birth control, abortion, homosexuality and so on? 👌

The Feast of the Ass (Latin: Festum Asinorum or asinaria festa, French: Fête de l’âne) was a medieval, Christian feast observed on January 14, celebrating the Flight into Egypt.
Fleeing persecution at the hands of Roman authorities, the Holy Family takes refuge in Egypt. Joseph dozes beside a dying campfire while his donkey grazes on sparse desert grass. At left sleep the Virgin Mary and infant Christ, crowned with a halo of light. They lie in the arms of a sphinx, its eyes turned to the heavens, where the first stars begin to appear. A successful Academic artist, Merson never traveled to North Africa, but his use of archeological detail creates the illusion of an eyewitness account, breathing new life into a time-honored subject.

So then, Joseph never slept??
For this reason a sleeping Joseph whilst a pagan deity - caring god - cares over Mary and Infant Jesus peacefully sleeping in his arms is a fake depiction.
Imagine yourself for a moment in the same situation. There is no “safe” place. You are in a foreign land with who knows what kind of dangers lurking in the black night. I doubt that Mary and the Child literally did sleep under the sphnix but so what if they did? It would have been the most prudent thing to do under those circumstances.

"We can't even use the term 'LGBT' in any context whatsoever or else it immediately gets flagged and banned. If we type those four letters out in our page, it gets removed," Penkoski said. Link

Pope circulates Nagasaki image under heading, ‘The fruit of war’
Francis, for this holiday period, asked that a small card be printed and distributed, which on its reverse side carries the inscription, “The fruit of war,” running above the pope’s signature.
The front side of the card displays a picture taken by American photographer Joseph Roger O’Donnell, a Marine who worked for four years after the atomic blasts in Hiroshima and Nagasaki documenting their impact. The shot shows a young Japanese boy standing in line at a crematorium with his dead younger brother on his back. Link

Bishop Schneider Offers Hope Amidst Crisis Permitted by “Divine Providence”
As the ecclesiastical crisis continues to deepen in 2017, I have found myself facing a certain exhaustion; a feeling that, while knowing the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church, that Christ will have the final victory, there is no respite from the near-constant series of assaults from the enemies of God’s truth. I know that many of you feel the same way.
With this in mind, I reached out to Bishop Athanasius Schneider, who is not only one of the most learned and fearless prelates in the Church today, but also, in my opinion, one of the most holy. He is a man who exudes the peace of Christ, even while being among the most outspoken in his analysis of the gravity of our present situation.
In short, he seemed the perfect man to tell us: How should we handle this? Where do we go from here? In the following interview, I sought to ask him the questions I thought many of you would also wish to ask. His …Mai mult

Actress Candace Cameron Bure visited TheBlaze newsroom Thursday on the heels of concluding her “Dancing With the Stars” TV competition, where she praised the show as an exhilarating, yet exhausting experience — one that allowed her to share her faith with the masses.

Though she said her personal goal was only to make it to the 6th week of competition, Bure ended up making it to the 10th week — the show’s season finale — this past Thursday, finishing third out of a cast of 12 actors, musicians and Olympians who were fiercely competing for the win.

Photo ~ Preparations were well under way at Manger Square in Bethlehem ahead of the Pope's visit
The Pope will be accompanied by a rabbi and an imam - friends from his native Argentina - and hopes to improve relations between Christians, Muslims and Jews in the Holy Land.
His journey comes only a few weeks after the latest round of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks collapsed.
Israel has issued restraining orders against several Jewish right-wing activists this week over concerns that they could try to disrupt the visit.
Police said offensive "anti-Christian graffiti" was discovered on the wall of a church in the southern city of Beersheba on Friday.
The Pope's journey marks the 50th anniversary of the historic meeting in Jerusalem between Pope Paul VI and the head of the Orthodox Church, Patriarch Athenagoras.
The meeting ended 900 years of separation and enduring antagonism between the Eastern and Western branches of Christianity.
