Pope Francis Pushes COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates

Pope Francis Pushes COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates (25+ articles)

  1. Pushes Covid-19 vaccine mandates, contrary to the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, despite the use of aborted fetal cells in their production and/or testing.
  2. No act of charity: A personal reflection on the Vatican’s promotion of COVID-19 vaccination – lifesitenews.com – 4/4/23
    • Pope Francis: “Being vaccinated with vaccines authorized by the competent authorities is an act of love. Contributing to ensure the-majority of people are vaccinated is an act of love. Love for oneself, love for one’s family and friends, love for all people”. (Pope Francis – Vaccines are an act of love to save us – Vatican News August 2022)
    • Churches closed. Priests masked. The faithful were locked down, confined to “participating” in religious services via live streams. Those who were dying in hospital – from what in many cases now looks increasingly like wrong medical treatment – were denied the sacraments.
    • That the leadership of the Catholic Church had blindly taken such a public position backing experimental mRNA gene therapies “as safe” and encouraging the faithful under the banner of “vaccinate for love of thy neighbor” was a source of grave concern. For the Successor of Peter, who is not a competent immunologist, to promote these pharmaceutical interventions for which no long-term safety test data existed seemed nothing short of misguidedness. The Vatican had even signed a contract with Pfizer to provide mRNA Covid-19 injections for members of the curia, religious, staff and their families. Coming off three bruising decades from the tragic saga of clerical sex abuse, I could already see the writing of another sad chapter on the wall.

    • The presence of graphene in the doses that have been administered, reported by numerous laboratories that have analyzed its content,[23]suggests that the forced use of so-called vaccines – together with the systematic boycott of existing treatments of proven effectiveness[24] – serves the purpose of contact-tracing all vaccinated human beings throughout the world, who will be or already are connected to the Internet of Things[25] [26]. As proof that this information is not the fruit of the fantasies of some conspiracy theorist, you should know that the European Union has chosen two projects dedicated to technological innovation as the winners of a competition: “The Human Brain” and “Graphene.” These two projects will receive one billion euro each in funding over the next ten years.[27]

Pope Francis Liberal Appointments

Pope Francis’ appointments are consistently liberal, pro-abortion, and pro-LBGT.

(30+ articles)

  1. John Horvat, vice president of the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property, told LifeSiteNews that, “it is apocalyptically scandalous and a great shame that the highest authority on earth, the Vicar of Christ, publicly endorses homosexual civil unions. It is indicative of our sinful times and why Our Lady warned us of a great chastisement in Fatima.”

  5. Pope Francis announces new cardinals, including bishop who backed Communion for pro-abortion politicians – lifesitenews.com– 5/30/22
    • The Pope skipped over higher ranking prelates in the U.S. in appointing Bishop Robert McElroy to the College of Cardinals, despite the bishop’s record of support for giving Communion to both pro-abortion Catholic politicians as well as the divorced and ‘remarried.’
  6. Bishop Robert McElroy: What to know about the soon to be American cardinal | Catholic News Agency – 5/29/22
    • McElroy has strongly asserted his views that the Eucharist ought not be denied to politicians who support the legalization of abortion. In addition, he has often criticized what he sees as the elevation of abortion as a priority over other social concerns, such as the death penalty and care for migrants and the environment.

  8. What the McElroy Appointment Says About the Church’s Commitment to Sex Abuse Victims (crisismagazine.com) – 6/13/22 – It wasn’t long into my study of the sex abuse crisis in the Church that I realized that many or even most bishops customarily respond to a report about abuse (1) by feeling sorry for themselves that they have another mess on their hands; (2) by feeling sorry for the priest whose priesthood may be ruined; and (3) by trying to figure out how to get the victim to remain silent and go away. There is rarely, if ever, any true concern shown for the victim; sometimes counseling is offered but more often as a way to appease than to help the victim.

Nebulized Hydrogen Peroxide Early Treatment of Upper Respiratory Illnesses

Nebulized Hydrogen Peroxide

Early Treatment of Upper Respiratory Illnesses

Video Link

While gargling and nasal irrigation may certainly be useful, I believe nebulizing hydrogen peroxide may be even more effective. The video above has my latest recommendations on how to prepare the hydrogen peroxide/saline nebulization solution and equipment to use.

Over the last three years, I’ve interviewed Dr. Thomas Levy and Dr. David Brownstein about this remarkably effective, yet simple and inexpensive treatment option.

Both treated COVID patients with nebulized peroxide with great success.8,9 In most cases, including severe ones, improvement is seen within just a few hours. To inactivate viruses with hydrogen peroxide, all you need is a face mask that covers your mouth and nose and a nebulizer that emits a fine mist with properly diluted food grade hydrogen peroxide.

The microscopic mist, like smoke or vapor, can be comfortably inhaled deep into your nostrils, sinuses and lungs. I recommend using a desktop nebulizer, as they’re stronger and provide a much finer mist than handheld battery-operated versions.

Hydrogen Peroxide Rapidly Inactivates Viruses

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) consists of a water molecule (H2O) with an extra oxygen atom (O2), and it is the additional oxygen atom that allows it to inactivate viral pathogens.

Some of your immune cells produce hydrogen peroxide to destroy pathogens. By killing the infected cell, viral reproduction is stopped. So, hydrogen peroxide therapy aids your immune cells to perform their natural function more effectively.

Many studies have investigated the use of hydrogen peroxide against different pathogens. For example, a 2020 review10 of 22 studies found that 0.5% hydrogen peroxide effectively inactivated a range of human coronaviruses, including those responsible for SARS and MERS, within one minute of exposure.

According to Brownstein, all pathogens studied to date have been found to succumb to hydrogen peroxide, albeit at varying concentrations and for different amounts of exposure.

How Hydrogen Peroxide Works

In addition to aiding your immune cells in doing their job, other mechanisms of action that help explain how and why hydrogen peroxide works so well against respiratory infections include the following:

  • It’s a key redox signaling agent that creates oxidative eustress. Contrary to oxidative stress or oxidative distress, oxidative eustress denotes an oxidative challenge that has positive or beneficial effects and is essential in redox signaling.
  • Hydrogen peroxide freely crosses cell membranes and does not readily oxidize biological molecules, including lipids and proteins. It does, however, react with iron. The presence of free, unbound iron in high concentrations in pathogens allows them to be selectively targeted by hydrogen peroxide.

High concentrations of iron result in a rapid breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into hydroxyl radicals and water. The hydroxyl radical, a potent oxidizing agent, kills any pathogens present. (Under normal, healthy circumstances, hydrogen peroxide merely breaks down into oxygen and water.)

  • Peroxide is generated by activated phagocytes (pathogen-killing immune cells) at sites of inflammation.11Phagocytes also contain high amounts of ascorbate (vitamin C), which directly donate electrons to peroxide to generate the pathogen-killing hydroxyl radical inside the infected cells. Vitamin C also helps generate increased amounts of extracellular hydrogen peroxide, which further boosts the elimination of pathogens.12
  • Hydrogen peroxide is continually generated inside all cells in your body, including the epithelial lining of your lungs. The presence of excreted peroxide on these surface cells in the airways is part of a healthy, at-the-ready immune response.13
  • Aside from its antipathogen properties, hydrogen peroxide is also recognized as an important signaling molecule, both intracellular and extracellular, influencing and modulating multiple metabolic processes.14

How to Properly Dilute the Peroxide

While you can use virtually any percentage of food grade peroxide, it’s crucial to dilute it properly before use. What you want is a 0.1% dilution, so even a 3% hydrogen peroxide will need to be diluted at least 30 times.

In a pinch, you could use commercial 3% hydrogen peroxide, the stuff used for wound care, but I don’t recommend routine use of it as it contains stabilizing chemicals that can detract from the benefits.

Also, you want to dilute the hydrogen peroxide with hypertonic saline, not plain water, as the lack of electrolytes in the water can damage your lungs if you nebulize that. Using saline prevents the osmotic differential that can damage lung cells. To end up with a final peroxide/hypertonic saline solution concentration of 0.1%, you need to go through two steps:

  1. Create the hypertonic saline solution
  2. Dilute the peroxide

I used to recommend using normal saline, which contains 0.9% salt, but a 2021 study found that a 1.5% sodium chloride solution (hypertonic saline) achieved a 100% inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 replication in vitro (in cell culture). Using lower levels of saline, like 1.1%, only inhibited 88%. So, I now recommend using hypertonic saline instead, which would be slightly less than double the amount of salt used to make normal saline.

To make hypertonic (1.5%) saline, simply mix 1.5 teaspoons of high-quality unprocessed salt to 1 pint of purified or distilled water. Stir until the salt is thoroughly dissolved. Be sure to use proper measuring spoons and not a regular kitchen teaspoon. For even greater precision, you could use a digital scale to measure out exactly 7.1 grams of salt.

If the 1.5% hypertonic solution causes nasal burning, irritation or cough, you can lower the concentration to 0.9% salt, which is isotonic normal saline. For this you would decrease the salt to 1 level teaspoon to 1 pint of water. Once you have your saline solution and a food grade hydrogen peroxide, dilute the peroxide according to the following chart, based on the concentration you’re starting with.

!WARNING:

Food grade peroxide at concentrations of 12% and 36% should NEVER be used full-strength either topically or internally. It MUST be diluted or severe injury can occur. Your safest bet is to use 3% food grade peroxide and dilute it as indicated so you end up with a solution of 0.1%.

Once you have your peroxide-saline solution, simply pour 1 teaspoon of it into the nebulizer and inhale the entire amount. If you like, you can add one drop of 5% Lugol’s iodine solution to the nebulizer as well. Some find it boosts the effects.

I recommend using nebulized peroxide for any suspected respiratory infection, and the earlier you start, the better. If you’re already presenting with a runny nose or sore throat, use the nebulizer for 10 to 15 minutes four times a day until your symptoms are relieved.

You can also use nebulized hydrogen peroxide for prevention and maintenance, which may be advisable during flu season. There is no danger in doing it every day if you’re frequently exposed, and there may even be additional beneficial effects, such as a rapid rise in your blood oxygen level.

American Bishops Dismal Response to COVID

American Bishops Dismal Response to COVID  (see Catholic Leadership Critique Rationale)

Below is a summary of what I have come to believe about the American Bishops and their dismal handling of the COVID so-called “pandemic”.

  1. The American Bishops buckled under political pressure and closed churches in most dioceses during Lent & Holy Week 2020; in many cases withheld sacramental confession and even baptism and last rites for several weeks.

  7. Catholic Accountability Project
  8. Many Bishops pushed the faithful to get the abortion-tainted COVID-19 vaccines, going along with the tyrannical government.
      1. deprived of the last sacraments as they died;
      2. denied Mass for months on end;
      3. refused family weddings and funerals because of arbitrary attendance rules;
      4. offered invalid sacraments while bishops said medical personnel could do the actual anointing of a sick person while the priest stood behind the door praying;
      5. probably invalidating Confirmation by the use of Q-tips. (I would maintain longstanding sacramental theology holds that it is invalid).
      6. There has been no accounting.  Without accounting, we cannot even begin to talk about “amnesty” or pardon.

 

Catholic Leadership Critique Rationale

Catholic Leadership Critique Rationale

Many people reject and even condemn any criticism of the Pope, the Bishops or the Catholic Church in general. However, I have come to realize that if a person of authority in the Church is in conflict with the perennial Catholic Faith on a particular issue, they are to be resisted, not blindly obeyed. Recall Paul’s rebuke of Peter to his face in Galatians 2:11-14.

In addition, the Code of Canon Law, 212, states:

Christ’s faithful are at liberty to make known their needs, especially their spiritual needs, and their wishes to the Pastors of the Church. They have the right, indeed at times the duty, in keeping with their knowledge, competence and position, to manifest to the sacred Pastors their views on matters which concern the good of the Church.  They have the right also to make their views known to others of Christ’s faithful, but in doing so they must always respect the integrity of faith and morals, show due reverence to their Pastors, and take into account both the common good and dignity of individuals (emphasis added).

Finally, other sources that I deeply respect have weighed in on this:

I will always be Catholic since it is the one Church founded by Jesus Christ, who promised that the gates of hell would not prevail against it (Mt 16:18).  However, I believe we must face the cold, hard truth that the Catholic Church has become corrupted in many ways. It is my hope that exposing this corruption will encourage all Catholics to hold Church Leadership accountable and to ultimately repair the damage done to the faithful and to confirm the one true Faith.

American Bishops Support of Illegal Immigration and Human Trafficking

American Bishops Support of Illegal Immigration and Human Trafficking (50+ articles)

(see Catholic Leadership Critique Rationale, Code of Cannon Law 212)

Below is a list of articles showing how the American Bishops and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) support illegal immigration and therefore human trafficking.

  1. The Catholic Cartel – Complicit Clergy – 2/3/22 – powerful 17-minute video summary
  2. America’s Catholic Bishops Get Rich Off Our Broken Borders – The Stream – 6/12/23
  3. Why are Catholic Bishops Defending Illegal Immigration? They’re Bought? | Intellectual Takeout– 6/20/18
    • Our government doles out billions of dollars to organizations and charities that settle refugees and aid illegal immigrants. If our illegal immigration problem suddenly went away, then there would be no reason to fund groups such as the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, BCFS Health and Human Services (a Baptist group), Catholic Charities, or Lutheran Immigration & Refugee Service.
    • Catholic Church collects $1.6 billion in U.S. contracts, grants since 2012 – Washington Times– 9/24/15
  4. Illegal border crossers total over 10 million since Biden inauguration | National | thecentersquare.com – 10/27/23 – greater than the individual populations of 41 states.
  5. The Bishops’ Misapplication of Catholic Charity on Our Southern Border (thefederalist.com) – 9/24/21
    • More than any other religious group, it is America’s Catholic bishops who lend moral support and cover to the current border situation.  How? Through their promotion to open borders — a strict adherence that warps God’s call to love our neighbors, and misunderstands the criminal situation at the border.  Any step the United States might take to enforce its immigration laws, the bishops oppose it — loudly and swiftly.
    • “The [USCCB] collected $50 million for migration and refugee services for the year 2020, most of which came from the federal government,” Lepanto Institute President Michael Hichborn told the news site Church Militant. “During that same period,” he added,” the U.S. bishops collected a meager $777,000 for pro-life activities.”
    • While we have an ordered call to charity, we don’t have a religious duty to have no nations, no laws, and no order.
    • God does not call us to violate just laws for charity, understanding we cannot extend good deeds to everyone on earth… no single teaching obscures the others to the detriment of the good; justice, charity, and mercy all must be weighed.  The Bishops have not paid proper heed to the harmful effects this charity without justice has had on the lives of the vulnerable.
    • The results of these mistakes are painful, are deadly, and are on our border every day and night. On this, there can be no confusion; it’s time for our church to recognize it.

    • Pope Francis donated $500,000 nine months ago from his Peter’s Pence fund to assist illegal immigrant caravan participants. The subsidies cover “27 projects in 16 dioceses and Mexican religious congregations” for “housing, food and basic necessities,” as well as “migrant” assistance programs “run by seven dioceses and three religious congregations: the Scalabrinians, the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary and the Hermanas Josefinas,” according to the Catholic News Service.

  54. Are the US Bishops Covering Up Child Exploitation Again? | The Christian Review – 9/9/23 – The USCCB must urgently re-assess its border policy and its denial of a link between open borders and child exploitation.
    • The Bishops objected to “initiatives [such as] . . . tripling of Border Patrol agents, especially at ports of entry, and the use of sophisticated technology such as ground sensors, surveillance cameras, heat-detecting scopes, and reinforced fencing.”

See also: Catholic Social Teaching on Immigration and the Movement of Peoples | USCCB.  Key Principles:

  1. People have the right to migrate to sustain their lives and the lives of their families.
  2. A country has the right to regulate its borders and to control immigration.
  3. A country must regulate its borders with justice and mercy.
    • The Catholic Church teaches that every person has basic human rights and is entitled to have basic human needs met—food, shelter, clothing, education, and health care. (Freely offered or by mandate?  What limits?  What about the existing poor already in the country?)
    • Current immigration policy that criminalizes the mere attempt to immigrate and imprisons immigrants who have committed no crime or who have already served a just sentence for a crime is immoral.  (So, is it acceptable to break the laws associated with principle #2? Can we choose to break other laws?)
    • It is the position of the Catholic Church that pastoral, educational, medical, and social services provided by the Church are never conditioned on legal status. All persons are invited to participate in our parishes, attend our schools, and receive other services offered by our institutions and programs. (That’s all fine but what about the collateral damage caused by human trafficking, a direct result of the Catholic Church encouraging illegal immigration?)
