VATICAN CITY— Pope Francis condemns surrogacy, “gender theory” and transgender sex change in new document, “Dignitas infinita”.

SURROGACY CONDEMNED:
48. The Church also takes a stand against the practice of surrogacy, through which the immensely
worthy child becomes a mere object. On this point, Pope Francis’s words have a singular clarity: “The path to peace calls for respect for life, for every human life, starting with the life of the unborn child in the mother’s womb, which cannot be suppressed or turned into an object of trafficking. In this
regard, I deem deplorable the practice of so-called surrogate motherhood, which represents a grave violation of the dignity of the woman and the child, based on the exploitation of situations of the
mother’s material needs. A child is always a gift and never the basis of a commercial contract. GENDER THEORY CONDEMNED:

55. The Church wishes, first of all, “to reaffirm that every person, regardless of sexual orientation,
ought to be respected in his or her dignity and treated with consideration, while ‘every sign of unjust
discrimination’ is to be carefully avoided, particularly any form of aggression and violence.”[101] For
this reason, it should be denounced as contrary to human dignity the fact that, in some places, not a
few people are imprisoned, tortured, and even deprived of the good of life solely because of their sexual orientation.

56. At the same time, the Church highlights the definite critical issues present in gender theory. On
this point, Pope Francis has reminded us that “the path to peace calls for respect for human rights, in accordance with the simple yet clear formulation contained in the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights, whose seventy-fifth anniversary we recently celebrated. These principles are self-evident and
commonly accepted. Regrettably, in recent decades, attempts have been made to introduce new rights
that are neither fully consistent with those originally defined nor always acceptable. They have led to
instances of ideological colonization, in which gender theory plays a central role; the latter is extremely dangerous since it cancels differences in its claim to make everyone equal.”

57. Regarding gender theory, whose scientific coherence is the subject of considerable debate among
experts, the Church recalls that human life in all its dimensions, both physical and spiritual, is a gift
from God. This gift is to be accepted with gratitude and placed at the service of the good. Desiring a
personal self-determination, as gender theory prescribes, apart from this fundamental truth that human
life is a gift, amounts to a concession to the age-old temptation to make oneself God, entering into
competition with the true God of love revealed to us in the Gospel.

58. Another prominent aspect of gender theory is that it intends to deny the greatest possible difference that exists between living beings: sexual difference. This foundational difference is not
only the greatest imaginable difference but is also the most beautiful and most powerful of them.

In the male-female couple, this difference achieves the most marvelous of reciprocities. It thus becomes
the source of that miracle that never ceases to surprise us: the arrival of new human beings in the
world.

59. In this sense, respect for both one’s own body and that of others is crucial in light of the proliferation of claims to new rights advanced by gender theory. This ideology “envisages a society
without sexual differences, thereby eliminating the anthropological basis of the family.”

It thus becomes unacceptable that “some ideologies of this sort, which seek to respond to what are at times
understandable aspirations, manage to assert themselves as absolute and unquestionable, even dictating how children should be raised. It needs to be emphasized that ‘biological sex and the socio-cultural role of sex (gender) can be distinguished but not separated.’”

Therefore, all attempts to obscure reference to the ineliminable sexual difference between man and woman are to be rejected:
“We cannot separate the masculine and the feminine from God’s work of creation, which is prior to
all our decisions and experiences, and where biological elements exist which are impossible to
ignore.” Only by acknowledging and accepting this difference in reciprocity can each person fully
discover themselves, their dignity, and their identity.”

MARYLAND—A @Maersk cargo vessel struck the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore.

As a veteran Naval Officer who has spent thousands of hours as Officer of the Deck, I’m not sure how this happened?
Any mariners out there witness this or monitoring B2B or—even better—@PilotHarbour @FLHarborPilots, want to jump in on navigating this port?

BACKGROUND—
According to @BTBoyle’s video tour (cited) of a Maersk cargo vessel bridge, they have detailed charts, ECDIS, Radar, two GPS for Nav…and their EYES…for navigation. It’s pretty hard to collide with a stationary target or landmass, but it happens.

I’m to locate the lights/buoys that marked that specific bridge pile on the video, not seeing it? Was there one ever present?

Finally, yes—cargo vessels often run on auto pilot, but someone is always on the bridge. They also don’t tent to run autopilot during transit near ports and busy costal waterways.
They aren’t showing lights signifying engine, shaft or rudder failures/not under command (red over red). @SynergyMarine statement:

“Owners and managers of the Singapore-flagged container ship “DALI” (IMO 9697428) report that the vessel collided with one of the pillars of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, Baltimore  whilst under pilotage with two pilots onboard, at approximately 01 30 local time on 26th March.
All crew members, including the two pilots have been accounted for and there are no reports of any injuries. There has also been no pollution.
Whilst the exact cause of the incident is yet to be determined, the ‘DALI’ has now mobilised its Qualified Individual Incident response service. The US Coast Guard and local officials have been notified, and the owners and managers are fully cooperating with Federal and State government agencies under an approved plan

Vessel Information:
Name: Dali
•Capacity: 10,000 TEU
•Onboard Units: 4,679 TEU
•DWT:116,851.
•Crew: All Indian, 22 in total
•Owner: Grace Ocean Private Ltd
•Movement: Outbound from Baltimore to Colombo

VATICAN CITY—The new Prefect of the Doctrine of the Faith states people in “irregular” unions, such as same sex unions, may NOT receive anything resembling liturgical blessings, or blessings of their unions.

They may, however, receive spontaneous blessing, limited to “the invocation of a blessing that descends from God upon those who recognizing themselves to be destitute and in need of his help do not claim a legitimation of their own status, but who beg that all that is true, good, and humanly valid in their lives and their relationships be enriched, healed, and elevated by the presence of the Holy Spirit. These forms of blessing express a supplication that God may grant those aids that come from the impulses of his Spirit what classical theology calls "actual grace" —so that human relationships may mature and grow in fidelity to the Gospel, that they may be freed from their imperfections and frailties, and that they may express themselves in the ever-increasing dimension of the divine love.”

Translation: Nothing has changed.
Sorry, no gay weddings, but sure, you can ask a priest to bless you.

DUBLIN— Three children are among five injured in a “mass stabbing” today.

Eyewitnesses claim a ‘man of foreign descent’ was tackled by a witness after assaulting the victims.

Irish citizens have been protesting their government’s “open borders” policies in recent months, after reports of increases in violent crimes and housing shortages wracked the island country.

Thoughts?

HAWAII—With @JoeBiden still deciding whether to visit fire-ravaged Maui, information is now surfacing on the state of overgrowth that, like California, may be the critical factor on how quickly this spread.

Interesting information to consider, found by @Cancelcloco, here. He provides supporting documentation for his arguments.

Interestingly, an individual pushing “climate change”, under what seems to be a pseudonym (as no public records found, so far) “Dr Miles Stones” has published a 44-page “book”, exploring the “urgent need to address global climate change”. Interestingly, the “book” was published on August 10,as the fires still raged.

What are your thoughts?

Here’s an article on what Californians still face:

SYDNEY—It seems a 45yr old man, identifying himself as Muhammad, instigated a security incident onboard Malaysian flight #MH122 with service from Sydney to Kuala Lumpur,
today.

Cabin crew took the threat seriously, and the man has been arrested.

Interesting how similar the initial response to perceived threat was, to that of the scenario #TMFINR @Tiffany_Gomas presented.

It doesn’t seem this man claimed people would die on the flight, or the aircraft would not make it to its destination…or blow up?

Yet, he was… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Interesting.

Body cam footage showing Tiffany Gomas speaking, coherently, to police and AA Mgmt.
As I’ve been saying, it’s time to focus on the security holes revealed in the police report I obtained:

If there was a threat, why was no one detained?

Security protocols, when someone makes a claim of threat, should not entail simply disembarking passengers.

Why was no one other than the airline manager interviewed, according to police report?

Why was Tiffany able to return through TSA?

Police reports are public record for a… https://t.co/skAWBvz0J9twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Memes have been created. T-shirts have been made. Attempts to put her exclamation to song have been recorded.

Yet, for all her newfound fame, the #TMFINR woman seems to have disappeared—her social media footprint all but scrubbed.

Until now.

ROME—Ancient Rome and modern have converged, today, in the parade celebrating #NatalediRoma2023.

@BellaPupRome and I are happy to provide some videos/photos in this thread.

First up, Bella was amused by the Lion-headed Praetorian Guard standing watch over Circus Maximus: It was time for the Parade, so @BellaPupRome insisted we get a front row view of all the standard bearers. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

VATICAN—German Card. Gerhard Müller, former Prefect of the Congregation of Doctrine of the Faith, has called for a formal trial of his fellow German bishops— 38 of whom voted in opposition to Catholic Doctrine last Friday.

The Vatican has yet to respond.

🎥: @RaymondArroyo twitter.com/i/web/status/1… His statement was supported by @cardinalrlburke, expert Canon Lawyer from the US.

“These people…simply ignore what Rome is saying to them, what the See of Peter is saying to them, show that they have no respect for him, whatsoever.
They are indeed the enemies of the pope.” twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

GERMANY—Bishop Georg Bätzing, president of German’s Bishop Conference, states blessing of homosexual unions ALREADY the practice and will formally implement it—in direct opposition to Doctrine and @Pontifex.
Is this Schism?

No word from @HolySeePress.

QUESTION: SHOULD the FBI develop profiles of “religious extremists”?

What limits should be placed on their power?

EXAMPLE: This is Warren Jeffs, convicted child rapist and continued “Prophet” of the FLDS (Mormon) church.

RICHMOND, Va—WHY advocate accountability within our Church and media?

If we don’t, the secular world will, and we all will suffer.
History has taught as much.

If true, SSPX is being targeted under “Traditional Latin Mass”.
Slippery slope, anyone?

uncoverdc.com/2023/02/08/the… Interesting how Pope Francis cited extreme examples (from vlogs and media activists he was provided) as an excuse to put the hammer down on all who love the TLM.
He later permitted the FSSP and ICKSP to continue their missions.

Will FBI be so kind?

@R_Denhollander Rachel, I’d be interested if you—as an attorney—looked into this case, at all, or why the High Court overturned his conviction?

Or the admitted 2013 “Operation Tethering” by Melbourne police, before any allegations were made?

hcourt.gov.au/assets/publica… @R_Denhollander Were you aware that in 1996, Cardinal Pell established “The Melbourne Response”—an independent commission to investigate claims and compensate victims, and doing so years before most dioceses recognized the scope and scale of the historical abuse crisis?

President Biden cites Pope to claim federal funding for abortions should continue.

Pope Francis: ”Is it licit to throw away a life to resolve a problem? Is it licit to hire a hitman to resolve a problem?”

The Pope has consistently said this.

Where is Biden getting this?

VATICAN CITY—From Jan. 31- Feb 3, @Pontifex is scheduled to visit the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan.

Here is a video showing a regular work day for so many of the children in the DRC—exploited mining lithium in Chinese-owned mines.

Will Pope Francis speak out against Chinese exploitation and human rights violations in Africa?

VATICAN—Slowly making my way through the newly released book by Pope Benedict XVI, entitled “Che cos'è il Cristianesimo?”—“What is Christianity”.

This portion is striking—note the actions of US Bishops in light of recent reactions by US-based “Trad” influencers, for context: I think it’s essential to see Pope Benedict XVI connecting relativism to sexual predation found in US Based seminaries—even acted on by Bishops:

Good morning.
Just so that you’re kept informed,
@ArethaFranklin’s “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” is no longer acceptable speech in 2023.
