Russian Patriarch Criticizes European Court of Human Rights
Russia
The European Court of Human Rights sometimes lopsidedly uses different interpretations of individual rights to the detriment of collective rights of traditional religious organizations, Patriarch Kirill said recently in a letter to Council of Europe Secretary General Thorbjorn Jagland . There is a need for "a serious discussion on issues and court practice in which secular laws enter the area of canonical law " he said. "We are convinced that ignoring moral aspects of human rights is fraught with undermining the authority of the very concept of rights and freedoms which has become one of the achievements in modern history," he said.
Compulsory Christmas Music
USA
Sheriff Joe Arpaio has ordered that Christmas music be played throughout the Maricopa County jail system in Arizona. The music is played in all jails, all day. Holiday music from all countries and faiths are included in the playlist. Inmates have filed six lawsuits over the Sheriff's Christmas music policy in the last two years. The grievances range from "cruel and unusual punishment" claims to "forcing inmates to participate in religious celebrations." So far, four of the six suits have been dismissed and the Sheriff expects that the remaining two will be dismissed.

Yesterday Pope Benedict XVI spoke of medieval theolgian John of Salisbury and said if John were alive today he would agree that the only equitable laws have to do with the sacredness of human life. This should be a wake up call for the 54% of so-called Catholics who voted into office pro-death President Obama. If all Catholics had voted with the doctrine of their faith President Obama would not be in office today. Our numbers in the United States population would have prevented this sad reality. This fact shows the ignorance and moral decline we have within our own Church that needs to be turned around quickly. Voting for a pro-death abortion candidate as a Catholic is NOT DEFENSIBLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES and to do so is to place oneself in the state of mortal sin unless the individual has diminished mental capacity and is unable to grasp the concept of life beginning at conception and that God is actually aware of our souls before conception! Any Catholic who would argue otherwise is a heretic and is in complete opposition to the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Catholics need to tell their uninformed or possibly severely ingnorant fellow Catholics that they must vote pro-life ALWAYS to be practicing their faith. If a Catholic is unable to do this they need to stop taking the Eucharist or be in a continual state of Mortal Sin when doing so.
