Catholicism is not a suicide pact, in spite of the clerics who act as if it were. Go here to read the rest of this tragic story. You can be a Christian without acting as if Chump is branded on your forehead.
PopeWatch: Suicide Pact
- Donald R. McClarey
Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 43 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
“ Catholicism is not a suicide pact.”
No it’s not. We’re pro-life, believe in the sanctity of all human life and the right to life. We don’t forfeit that by meeting an aggressor with equal force. It is they that forfeit.
Burns a cathedral and murders a priest, and yet he’s a special guest at a papal audience. Meanwhile, Catholics who prefer the EF Mass are told in no uncertain terms that they are second-class Catholics and that Francis will do all he can to ensure they are marginalized and eventually wiped out.
It’s a crazy world.
This is tragic. They will mark him mentally unfit and no sympathy or justice for the victim priest. When the Pope wants to open the Church for all, be the Pope for all then he better expect the riff raff and the snakes to enter from the front door.
Clinton, that’s a weak comparison. It wasn’t like the guy was known to be planning priest-murder and arson when he attended an audience years earlier.
Extremist Content Alert!
It wasn’t like when, in 100 days from 7 April to 15 July 1994, half of Rwanda murdered half of Rwanda.
That was a brutal genocide. They butchered eachother inside the Church where people were taking refuge. It’s like any migrant from a war torn country, they will bring their baggage with them.

Thanks, Ezabelle. I had thought there was a vision of Our Lady above a Coptic Egyptian church. Maybe it is not approved or was a hoax..
The murdered priest, unfortunately, was a very foolish man.
Yes Cam, I recall reading about this also. 1968-71. It was above Coptic Orthodox Church in Zeitoun Egypt. The Vatican didn’t put out an official statement because it wasn’t a Catholic apparition however the Coptic Orthodox Church authenticated it. The government couldn’t explain the apparitions and declared at that time something extraordinary occurred- that’s big for Muslim Egypt…I’m sure their tune is very different now extremists running the country…
It’s up for personal judgement for Catholics I guess. I don’t see why Our Lady would not make Herself known to other Christian faiths – Orthodox being the closest to our Faith…I have read of miraculous healings of Muslims who have prayed to St Charbel Makhlouf who is a Maronite Catholic Saint…if you believe then you believe..

Does the non-suicide pack deal include refusing to submit to a Non-Catholic Pope? It’s not just the Mass. It’s the heretical positions he espouses: all religions will by God; souls of the damned being simply destroyed, etc. Makes one want to say “It the Theology Stupid”. The Old Mass is simply in the way of the new theology.
Was that comment supposed be heretical, schismatic, or was it just venting? It might be two or three of those.
