Chemtrails: Are Planes Spraying Chemicals Into The Sky?

water (H20) naturally dissolves in air at the right temperature and pressure. When air rises, the pressure decreases and the air expands, which causes it to lose temperature as well (like the opposite of what happens in a pressure cooker).

water (H20) naturally dissolves in air at the right temperature and pressure. When air rises, the pressure decreases and the air expands, which causes it to lose temperature as well (like the opposite of what happens in a pressure cooker). When the air drops in temperature, the water that is naturally dissolved in the air may go from a gaseous state (ie. water vapour) to a liquid (ie. water) or solid state (ie. ice). That is how clouds form.

Often, however, in places high in the atmosphere, there is enough water vapour to form a cloud, but it doesn't form a cloud because the atmospheric conditions are not right.

When a plane, a rocket or some other big thing with a big hot engine flies through this air, however, it can easily disturb the equilibrium in such a way that the water vapour then condenses to form clouds, which will look like trails of white coming from behind the plane. The white 'chemtrail' is not actually from the plane at all, but it is just water that was already there that is being disturbed by the plane flying through it in such a way that it condenses into a cloud.

And that is what you are seeing.

Cardinal Burke: Consecration of Russia Was Not Carried Out

the consecration occurred on March 25th 1984. Seven years later, December 25th 1991 is the day that Gorbachev resigned and the Russian Federation replaced the USSR. Seven is a biblical number. March 25th is the annunciation, December 25th is the birth of Jesus... is it a coincidence?

Cannoli: I'm not American, but no, I would not have voted for Hillary, if I was.

When Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, you would have thought that he was a person who was putting an end to communism, but in the end his actions just led to it expanding even further and putting the Soviet Union as the second most powerful state in the world.

I'm well aware that Trump plans to get rid of federal funding for abortions and appoint pro-life judges. I think this is great. But that is not our long-term objective, here.

We are aiming at ending all abortion, and I feel, although perhaps I am wrong, that Trump's qualities have the risk of destroying the image of conservatism within the minds of voters in generations yet to come. If it had been a different republican who won the election, I think you would not have had such a massive women's march being organized now. Trump, one may argue, is actually galvanizing and giving power to anti-life feminism.

Whatever temporary gains he makes in the supreme court or in federal funding are great, I think, but that is not the end game. If they do as they say they plan to do, and get Roe vs. Wade overturned, and then leave it to the individual states to decide... abortion will still be widespread and accessible, it would just be a matter of going from one state to another. It's better, but it is really not good enough.

And furthermore, if Trump's words and actions actually lead to the anti-life movement getting even stronger than it was before, then you realize that not only is it not good enough, but it is actually something that may bring great consequences against the future success of the pro-life movement. Trump can appoint judges and take away funding from abortion providers, and he can also destroy the economy, go to war with China, North Korea, Iran, get into twitter fights and lose his temper with newsmedia, etc. and then just lose everything when elections occur again in a few years, and the evil spirit that was first driven out will just come back even stronger than it was before.

The people need to be converted to God and brought to believe from the heart that abortion needs to be rejected. That is the surest way that our final victory can be achieved.

In one common translation of the Creed we say 'He was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day He arose again from the dead'

The catechism states this: '633 Scripture calls the abode of the dead, to which the dead Christ went down, "hell" - Sheol in Hebrew or Hades in Greek - because those who are there are deprived of the vision of God.479 Such is the case for all the dead, whether evil or righteous, while they await the Redeemer: which does not mean that their lot is identical, as Jesus shows through the parable of the poor man Lazarus who was received into "Abraham's bosom":480 "It is precisely these holy souls, who awaited their Saviour in Abraham's bosom, whom Christ the Lord delivered when he descended into hell."481 Jesus did not descend into hell to deliver the damned, nor to destroy the hell of damnation, but to free the just who had gone before him.482' (www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P1R.HTM)

Which, if you follow through with it, therefore means that Abraham, Moses, Esther, Isaiah, etc. were in hell. But their lots were not the same as those who were condemned to be there forever. Hence your statement that a person in hell must necessarily be there forever is thereby false. Scripture and tradition both call this place 'hell'.

When Christ went to preach to the souls in hell after He was crucified, I don't see any reason why we would have to exclude the possibility that He gave baptism of water to them there, and that they therefore also entered the church through the same means as the living did.

The church says that eternal hellfire is reserved to unrepentant sinners because of their refusal by their own free-choice to let go of their sins. If a person is not a sinner, but they just lacked knowledge, and would have gladly accepted the faith had they known of its existence, then they are obviously not unrepentant sinners. Both will go to hell, as the Council stated, but with 'unequal pains'.

Have you ever read Anne Catherine's Emmerich's supposed visions of the Passion? In the part where where Jesus descends to hell, there is a vivid description given in the text whereby He first meets Adam and Eve in a dark place, then the other people of the old testament, then He visits a cavern filled with pagans who had lived holy lives and demons were in it confessing to the pagans how they had deceived them with idols, and then finally Jesus enters the city of the damned where all the souls in eternal damnation are abiding.

Here is the text: " I next saw our Lord, with his triumphant procession, enter into a species of Purgatory which was filled with those good pagans who, having had a faint glimmering of the truth, had longed for its fulfilment: this Purgatory was very deep, and contained a few demons, as also some of the idols of the pagans. I saw the demons compelled to confess the deception they had practised with regard to these idols, and the souls of the poor pagans cast themselves at the feet of Jesus, and adored him with inexpressible joy: here, likewise, the demons were bound with chains and dragged away. I saw our Saviour perform many other actions; but I suffered so intensely at the same time, that I cannot recount them as I should have wished." (www.jesus-passion.com/THE_PASSION6.htm LIX)

I note that although it does not say specifically that He did not take away any souls out of that place, but I draw your attention to the fact that she claims it is 'a species of Purgatory', implying that a purification is taking place and it is not permanent.

The number of magisterial documents that support the conclusion that all outside the church go to hell is massive. I don't disagree with you. But can you find a document that actually disproves the thesis I just presented here, and specifically states that those who die in orginal sin only are punished eternally?

Now, there is something I should note, however. Since the concept of the supposed 'baptism of desire' is, as you must know, the idea that Jesus would not reject someone, simply on account of an innocent lack of awareness of a need to join the church. What you are saying makes sense, however, because the idea that someone without baptism or without the church can get to heaven appears to be completely contradicted by what that council stated in the 15th century.

However, consider this now: Abraham, John the baptist, Isaiah, Moses... they all would have died before Christ and hence were without baptism and were never joined to Christ's body before their death, but when Christ went down to hell and preached to the dead, we believe that they must have been saved as well. Could it have been that they were baptized in hell and then entered into heaven? And if so, is it inconceivable that the same could be possibly be true of other people today who died without baptism?

I think this wouldn't pose any necessary contradiction with what you are saying, because all such people would still need baptism and faith to find salvation, but they would just receive it while they were dead. What do you think?

What is the basis for saying that those who die in original sin only go to limbo, but not hell? The council explicitly uses the word 'hell'

Your position is a little clearer to me now, but I want to reiterate just to make sure I got it right-> You are saying that if a person dies without baptism, but they find salvation in the end, then somehow they still must get baptism before finding salvation, like in the case of a person who returns to life in order to get baptized or who was maybe baptized by an angel or some supernatural person, etc....but without the baptism through some such means, then they cannot find salvation... is that correct?

If a baby dies before he or she is baptized, does he go to hell?

If a person in another religion or without a religion dies without mortal sin on his conscience and a desire to know the Truth, does he go to hell?

I keep reading what you say about there being no known exception to EENS... but I am confused. I am not sure whether you are asserting these things I write above or not, so I am wondering if you could provide specific answers.

Donohue - the newsmedia in western countries is private business. They make more money if more people read their news. The larger public is not nearly as interested in a scandal with US gymnastics as it is with scandals in the Catholic Church. It is for the same reason you can find so many articles printed about Brad and Angelina's divorce, instead of something that actually matters like child trafficking or third world famine. There are millions of people suffering horrible things around the world every day, but the newsmedia covers stuff that is of far lesser importance, because the public doesn't have as much interest in learning about those things and by virtue of natural selection, the dominant news outlets are the ones who understand that unfortunate truth.

You can't assume it is always because of an anti-catholic bias. Think of yourself as a news editor for a moment and two stories come on the table, one is that there was a gym teacher somewhere who murdered a student and the other is there was a bishop somewhere who murdered a layperson... if you want the paper to sell, which do you choose?

The catechism under the eighth commandment gives the responsibilities of the newsmedia, but the world often works differently.

2493 Within modern society the communications media play a major role in information, cultural promotion, and formation. This role is increasing, as a result of technological progress, the extent and diversity of the news transmitted, and the influence exercised on public opinion.
2494 The information provided by the media is at the service of the common good.284 Society has a right to information based on truth, freedom, justice, and solidarity:

The proper exercise of this right demands that the content of the communication be true and - within the limits set by justice and charity - complete. Further, it should be communicated honestly and properly. This means that in the gathering and in the publication of news, the moral law and the legitimate rights and dignity of man should be upheld.285
2495 "It is necessary that all members of society meet the demands of justice and charity in this domain. They should help, through the means of social communication, in the formation and diffusion of sound public opinion."286 Solidarity is a consequence of genuine and right communication and the free circulation of ideas that further knowledge and respect for others.
2496 The means of social communication (especially the mass media) can give rise to a certain passivity among users, making them less than vigilant consumers of what is said or shown. Users should practice moderation and discipline in their approach to the mass media. They will want to form enlightened and correct consciences the more easily to resist unwholesome influences.
2497 By the very nature of their profession, journalists have an obligation to serve the truth and not offend against charity in disseminating information. They should strive to respect, with equal care, the nature of the facts and the limits of critical judgment concerning individuals. They should not stoop to defamation.
2498 "Civil authorities have particular responsibilities in this field because of the common good.... It is for the civil authority ... to defend and safeguard a true and just freedom of information."287 By promulgating laws and overseeing their application, public authorities should ensure that "public morality and social progress are not gravely endangered" through misuse of the media.288 Civil authorities should punish any violation of the rights of individuals to their reputation and privacy. They should give timely and reliable reports concerning the general good or respond to the well-founded concerns of the people. Nothing can justify recourse to disinformation for manipulating public opinion through the media. Interventions by public authority should avoid injuring the freedom of individuals or groups.
2499 Moral judgment must condemn the plague of totalitarian states which systematically falsify the truth, exercise political control of opinion through the media, manipulate defendants and witnesses at public trials, and imagine that they secure their tyranny by strangling and repressing everything they consider "thought crimes."

Cardinal Muller said that there are some cases when a confessor can decide for a penitent when a previous marriage was null.

The Council of Trent said that those who declared that church courts could not judge marriages were excommunicated.

The Council of Trent was speaking of a heresy wherein people were asserting that the church did not have the authority to judge such things, and those who held that this was a heresy were excommunicated. Many of the canons of the Council of Trent are of a similar nature, in that they anathematize people who question the validity or effects of the sacrament, or the authority of the church to grant them... primarily because the Council was facing a widespread protestant heresy that denied the sacraments and the church's authority over them.

Perhaps I am wrong, but I question if that specific canon means the same thing as stating that the Council in fact demanded all cases where a previous marriage might have existed must necessarily have been dealt with by a church court. It could be rather interpreted as meaning that the Church had the right and authority to judge such cases, and not that every such case must necessarily be judged by a church court.

To use some practical examples, suppose you had a man in Saudi Arabia who had four wives. And the fourth wife was a Catholic who got married in an Islamic ceremony. Later she realized this marriage was against what the church taught, left him, confessed this and the priest absolved her... why would you need a church court to give her an annulment before you could conclude her marriage never existed and this man was not her husband?

Or if two Catholic males had a homosexual marriage, and they later repented and separated, then went to confession... why would an annulment be necessary?

I think the purpose of the annulment is to make a formal declaration when the case is in doubt, and you need an authoritative opinion... not when it is an absolute and complete certainty. Maybe I am wrong.

When Mother Teresa visited China in the early 90s, she visited a state-run orphanage, I think, and told the people who ran it they they were doing Christ's work, even though they may have been communists.

Communists called for society to serve the poor. This is a thought paralleled in the teachings of Jesus that called on people to serve the suffering or else face eternal damnation. In this respect, what Francis is reported to have said is true. It doesn't change anything else about communism's inherent flaws rooted in its atheism or the tremendous evil that many communists have done in the world. In the millions of people who have had communist party affiliations, I am sure that at least some of them were like Simon of Cyrene or the people that Mother Teresa is reported to have praised.

As long as there are ten righteous remaining in the wicked city, the whole place will be saved for their sake. Putting Donald Trump into office is not going to save the world from destruction.

When Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, there were Catholics who supported him because they saw him as putting an end to communism. Volunteers from Spain joined the German army in the battle for Leningrad. But actually, in the end, Hitler's actions only served to spread communism even further. The Catholics who supported him were deceived. The house they built was on sand and not on a rock.

In my fallible opinion, Trump's actions could perhaps be something similar. The republicans should have been able to win this election this year, for many reasons, but it seems that they will not. Why will they not? Because of Trump's own actions. There is no one damaging the cause to put a pro-life candidate into the white house more than he is when he does the things that he does.

It is indisputable that the ice caps are melting. This article is misleading, I believe, because it fails to mention all of the decrease that has already occurred. Let me explain with an example:

A farmer owns nine cows. Wolves come to his field one day and eat seven of them. The following year, the two remaining cows give birth to a calf. The farmer then claims he has been very prosperous because he has had 50% growth in his cattle population. Do you think the farmer is being logical?

If you think not, then you see the problem in this article and why it is misleading. Look here (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_sea_ice_decline) to see a graph on arctic sea ice from 1979-2014.

To say that it had a 41% increase in 2013 means it increased since 2012, not that it increased since 1950, 1900, etc. If you look at the graph, you will notice a bump from 2012 to 2013. But the 2013 figures are actually lower than the 2010 figures.

Furthermore, you will also note that in fact not just 2013, but actually there have been occassions when there was jumps in particular years, but the ovverrall decline is still there.

The fact that environmental destruction should come from our civilization makes sense, because if Creation was designed by God, then why would people who rejected God's plans for the world be possessing lifestyles that actually correctly functioned and corresponded with the machine he built? The fact that the enviroment is going like this is the very proof that we are not living in this world according to its own design.
