Mayor claims pro-life display violates 'civil rights'
Roman authorities have removedfrom a busy street near the Vatican the www.affaritaliani.it pro-life poster in the history of Italian pro-life activism. The huge poster, spanning three stories, features the image of an 11-week-old unborn child, and was part of a chain of demonstrations promoted by pro-life group ProVita Onlus to recall 40 years of legal abortion in Italy. The poster, which had been legally granted a permit to be posted from April 3–15, was taken down by Mayor Virginia Raggi after a mere three days.

Thomas More Law Center battles anti-Christian bigotry, secularization

THOMAS MORE LAW CENTER BATTLES ANTI-CHRISTIAN BIGOTRY, SECULARIZATION


by Christine Niles, M.St. (Oxon.), J.D.  •  ChurchMilitant.com  •  April 18, 2018    

Catholic founder Richard Thompson speaks with Church Militant on his fight to restore America's moral foundations



In the face of widening anti-Christian bigotry, one non-profit is pushing back against the secularization of America.
The Thomas More Law Center, based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, is a law firm that specializes in protecting religious freedom, free speech and other civil rights. Its cases include a first-of-its-kind lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of a federal refugee resettlement program in Tennessee, claiming it is a violation of the 10th Amendment and the principles of state sovereignty. It provides all legal representation free for those cases it accepts.
Richard Thompson, founder of the Thomas More Law Center and a devout Catholic, sat down with Church Militant to speak about his organization and its work. 
Our mission "is to promote and restore America's Judeo-Christian heritage and moral values, including the sanctity of human life, the religious freedom of Christians, and now also the sovereignty and independence of the United States of America," Thompson told Church Militant.
 
Thompson, a prosecutor for a number of years, founded the Thomas More Law Center after realizing how the U.S. Supreme Court is wielding its power to contribute to America's moral decline.
 
"Nine, unelected judges holding lifetime appointments were determining all the major issues facing the country," he commented. "They had an agenda that was attempting to de-Christianize America."
 
"Starting back in the 1960s, they ended school prayer; they ended Bible reading; they ended the moment of silence in schools because they said children might use that moment of silence to pray, and that was not allowed," he explained. "They also stopped displaying the Ten Commandments on school walls because the Court said, even though the Ten Commandments are just there without any kind of teaching lesson, children might stop, read, meditate upon and follow the Ten Commandments, and they said this was not appropriate."
 
"All this happened by Supreme Court fiat," Thompson noted, "so we realized the battle had to be fought in the court rooms, and that's why the Thomas More Law Center exists."
 
On the Tennessee refugee resettlement case currently being litigated, he commented, "Several of the states that have opted out of that program still have to pay for all of the welfare benefits of that program that used to be paid for by the federal government."
 
Catholic Charities is making "anywhere from 90 million to 110 million dollars a year" off resettling refugees. These organizations "now take over the function of the state, and they get money for each refugee they bring in, so there is this conflict of interest that, the more refugees that can come into the state, the more money they get," he said.

NY AG Eric Schneiderman is suing 14 pro-lifers
Another major case for the Thomas More Law Center involves a lawsuit filed against 14 pro-life demonstrators by the N.Y. Attorney General. During depositions, the law firm discovered that "there was a direct feed from the abortion facility to the attorney general's office, where they were videotaping what was going on in the streets; then they came down against these 14 individuals."
 
A surprising discovery was that George Soros is funding the same abortion facility as well as the N.Y. attorney general. "Pro-life sidewalk counselors are being attacked by law enforcement who owe allegiance to the people that contribute to them," Thompson observed, "and many times they are the people that support abortion."
 
Individuals who need help may contact the Thomas More Law Center, which will vet the requests to determine if they fall within their mission and they have the resources to take on the case. "Our legal assistance is without charge; it's all free," Thompson explained. "We depend on donations to keep our organization going."
 
He vows to continue the fight against secularism, even in the face of overwhelming odds. "The battles are all across the country," he said. "The culture is being undermined by secularists who have tons and tons of money."

SBC and SSPX must clarify 1) they do not know of any physically visible case of the BOD, BOB and I.I in 2018 and 2) theologically they reject BOD,BOB and I.I as being exceptions to EENS based on non existing people

The bishop of Worcester,USA has granted canonical status to the St. Benedict Center(SBC), Still River, Massachusetts, since the SBC teaches doctrines of the Church 'as authentically taught and defined by the Church's teaching magisterium'. 1

They accept and interpret Vatican Council II like him.

Vatican Council II is a rupture with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS) and Tradition instead of being a continuity with EENS, the Syllabus of Errors and the rest of Tradition.
The SBC does not affirm Vatican Council II in harmony with the old exclusivist ecclesiology of the Church.
So the Bishop of Worcester and the SBC  interpret the baptism of desire(BOD), baptism of blood(BOB) and being saved in invincible ignorance(I.I)  as referring to known people, physically visible people, saved outside the Church. Vatican Council II becomes a rupture with Tradition with the use of this irrationality(invisible people are visible).
If the SBC announced that the BOD, BOB and I.I refer to only unknown people in 2018 and that  LG 14, LG 16 etc are not objective examples of salvation outside the Church,then Vatican Council II is not a rupture with Tradition. 
But then the SBC cannot receive canonical status.

So Brother Thomas Augustine MICM, Prior, at the St. Benedict Center, Still River, does not announce the obvious.He will not say clearly that there are no physically visible cases of BOD, BOB and I.I in 2018 and neither does he know of any one saved with 'elements of sanctification and truth'(LG 8), good and holy things in other religions(NA 2) etc.So he maintains his canonical status.No one else at Still River wants to disturb the peace.
It is the same with the St.Benedict Center, Richmond, N.H.Brother Andre Marie MICM , Prior, will not say in public that he does not know of any physically visible case of BOD,BOB and I.I.
Of course theologically the St. Benedict Centers will state that there is no BOD,BOB and I.I which can be an exception to the traditional interpretation of EENS.I agree with them.
But it is still necessary for the Priors to clarify 1) that they  and their community members do not know of any physically visible case of the BOD, BOB and I.I in 2018  and 2) and of course, they also theologically reject BOD,BOB and I.I as being  exceptions to Feeneyite EENS, based on non existing people.

Presently the two Priors in Worcester and Manchester, Brother Thomas Augustine and Brother Andre Marie, are recognized by their bishops since they have not said in public that there are no physically visible cases of the BOD, BOB and I.I.They have not announcened that in real life they have not seen or met, any person in 2018 who has been saved outside the Church, as indicated in LG 8, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc.So with the silence of the Priors, Vatican Council II remains a rupture with EENS according to the missionaries and Magisterium of the 16th century.This is acceptable to the bishops. This is authentic Magisterial teaching for them.It is the same with the SSPX too. They are in line with the liberal Magisterium.
Theologically the Society of St. Pius X(SSPX) position is wrong since it is based on known people saved outside the Church.This is the New Theology.Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre both made a mistake and so did Pope Pius XII and Cardinal Ottaviani.

1.So when it is clear for them at the St. Benedict Centers that there are no BOD, BOB and I.I cases seen in the flesh, with or without the baptism of water,then it becomes obvious that Mystici Corporis, Quanta Cura, the Catechisms of Trent and Pius X were referring to hypothetical cases only.They were speculating with good will.They would not have been contradicting Feeneyite EENS, as it is generally mistaken today.
2) The Letter of the Holy Office 1949 made an objective mistake when it assumed that BOD, BOB and I.I referred to physically visible people saved outside the Church and so BOD, BOB and I.I were made relevant to EENS.
3)The Magisterium accepted this error in the Fr. Leonard Feeney case and then again at Vatican Council II.The confusion was also there earlier in the Baltimore Catechism.
So the SBC would be saying that the Magisterium made an objective mistake and can now correct the error.

But they must say it. This is what they are not doing.

They need to clarify that 1) objectively, in physical reality, in the flesh, there are no known examples of salvation outside the Catholic Church for us human beings and so there are no exceptions to EENS. 2) Theologically, as a concept, there are no exceptions to EENS since there can be no practical exceptions for us human beings and the Church has always taught that the baptism of water is needed for Justification and Salvation.
They need to make it known  that there are no physically visible cases of BOD, BOB and I.I  and they can continue to theologically reject  BOD,BOB and I.I .
I of course, agree with their theology and I reject that of the SSPX on Feeneyism( SSPX website ).
The process for correcting the error can begin but first the St.Benedict Centers like the SSPX, must state clearly in public, that "There are no physically visible cases of BOD, BOB and I.I in 2017-2018 and there were none in the past for us human beings". Any Catholic can make this statement. One does not have to know theology. May be not knowing theology would be a plus point here.

The St.Benedict Centers condone Vatican Council II interpreted with an irrational premise and do not affirm Vatican Council II without the irrationality: liberal bishop considers this 'as authentically taught and defined by the Church's teaching magisterium'
