This form of birth control is never allowed by Catholics!!
As most people are now well aware artificial birth control is completely and utterly prohibited by the Catholic church under all circumstances. Obviously some people don't like this rule because they want to have sex without the possibility of getting pregnant. And of course some people get pregnant and because they don't want to be pregnant they go out and have an abortion. But that's not the topic of discussion right now we will focus on birth control.
So all forms of birth control are strictly prohibited by the Catholic church but there is one in particular that I wanted to talk about today and that is IUDS otherwise known as intrauterine devices. These are basically metal wires that are attached inside a woman's uterus to prevent her from being able to conceive. Obviously if you want to get into more nitty-gritty details please feel free to do a Google search viewer discretion is strongly advised.
So for some reason many people especially many Catholic women believe that are you these are perfectly fine. I'm not really sure where they get this information but they've become extremely popular and as we know most Catholic women don't even bother to care about birth control and whether or not they should use it. These people are operating outside the constraints of the Catholic church and are in violation of her laws. Their first course of action right after having their IUD removed permanently is to find the nearest possible confessional going there confess their sin and come out renewed.
The problem with birth control is many. For one thing you are purposely preventing a Perfectly Natural and healthy bodily function from occurring. You are purposely distorting and thwarting a natural body function. We don't do this in any other context. Some people will say oh but look we do all kinds of unnatural things with our bodies and nobody seems to care. Look we use glasses don't we will use prescription drugs don't we? What on Earth is the difference? Are you saying that you go around only doing things which are 100% natural? Haha caught you you hypocrite!
Not so fast. All the examples that are provided are examples of things which ultimately improve you. They bring you closer to your intended and design self. If you have an injury you take care of it, if you have an illness you receive treatment. But the goal is always to bring us closer to what we really should be. Furthermore it is within our nature to be fertile and reproductive being infertile and being non reproductive are contrary to our nature. Therefore doing anything which renders us contrary to our nature is inherently and always immoral.
So therefore whether you are talking about IUDs or condoms or any other form of birth control if you want to be Catholic you should cease and desist using these things as soon as possible.

Scariest Confession Ever!!
Many people like their Catholic faith some even absolutely love being Catholic. But even the most ardent and devout follower of the Catholic religion may be absolutely terrified of going to confession.
There are many people who although extremely involved extremely loving extremely caring and extremely good people all around and in almost every way who are absolutely and utterly petrified of even the thought of going to confession.
They believe that their sins are so great so substantial so shocking that they will absolutely and completely embarrass themselves if they enter into the so-called Catholic Penalty Box. But what in fact is the truth? Let me explain some of my own experiences with confession and maybe just maybe this will ease your fear.
A few years ago I strongly returned back to the sacrament of confession and I must admit that the first two or three times were scary but the very first time I was going back after quite some time was extremely horrifying. I was sweating, my heart was racing I was nervous my mouth was dry all of these things are happening all at the same time.
I waited in line for maybe 15 or 20 minutes while others ahead of me told their confessions to the priest. But this short amount of time seemed like many hours as I was completely and utterly terrified of what would happen once I entered that room. Mentally I was preparing, I wanted to make a good confession I wanted to make sure that I told the priest everything and that I wouldn't botch it.
Finally it was my turn to enter that room it felt like I was entering into a dungeon of Horrors I went in and chose to kneel behind the privacy divider. Even people who have never been to a Catholic Church know what I'm talking about because this is always portrayed in movies and television shows. First thing I said when I walked in was bless me Father for I have sinned. The priest immediately said a prayer and asked me to confess. Again I was very nervous very scared unsure of what to do. But in a very contrite and sorrowful way I confessed my sins I told the priest everything.
I felt a heavy burden lift from me as I finished saying everything that I had to say. The priest then thanked me, he thanked me for a very contrite and sincere confession. He could tell from my voice and demeanor that I was sincere and honest. And he said God appreciates this. Then the priest offered some of his advice. Advise that really spoke to me and helped me greatly. He gave me directions but there was absolutely not a single trace of judgement, at no point did I feel that he was upset, angry or judgmental about me. I just listened to his words of encouragement and help. Then in a feeling that cannot be replicated in the natural world he spoke the words of absolution saying through the power of God he absolves me of all my sins. As the priest makes clear he is not acting on his own power but in the power of Jesus Christ who works through the priest. The physical verbal words that the priest is using are so extraordinarily powerful. I believe this is the primary reason why we confess to a priest it is the most powerful experience one can have on this Earth.
After this the priest asked me to make an act of contrition. This is something else that terrifies and scares people because they wonder what will happen if they make a mistake or say something wrong. You have absolutely nothing whatsoever to worry about here. The reason is that an act of contrition is an act of The heart. It's basically simply telling God that you are truly sorry for your sins and that you will do absolutely everything in your power with God's help to never sin again. As long as you express sorrow for the sins you have committed and make a firm commitment never to commit them again with the help of God that is truly all you need to make a good confession.
I can guarantee each and every person who was reading this blog that confession will do nothing but good for you. Although not required even if you are not Catholic you are still permitted to speak to a priest. Technically it would not be a confession but feel free to enter into any confessional and say there are some things you want to get off your chest and that you want some advice about and let the priests know that you are not Catholic and he will be happy to listen.
Also many people are concerned that once the priest find out the sins people have committed he will either tell others or judge you in the future. For one thing a priest who blabs about someone else's sins is automatically excommunicated and it's one of the most serious sins a priest could possibly commit. You can be very sure a priest would never do this. And in fact there are almost no examples in the history of the world where this has happened even though there have been billions of confessions throughout history. Furthermore a priest never looks at you differently afterwards. Many priests have explained a strange phenomenon where after hearing confession they never remember them. In fact most priests say they would never want to remember any of this and because they hear very many and they're simply not interested in remembering them. Plus this strange phenomenon removes the memories from almost all priests.
Therefore be not afraid to confess your sins to a priest. I can guarantee you that no drug on Earth feels as good as leaving a confessional after having done a good confession. Trust me.

Four Cardinals Seek Clarification from Pope
So four cardinals of the Catholic Church have approached Pope Francis to get clarification about his statements in an encyclical he wrote called amoris laetitia. In the encyclical there are some confusing paragraphs which talk about divorce remarriage and the reception of Holy Communion. Basically these four Cardinals are concerned about changing the church's teaching on divorce and remarriage.
As the Cardinals point out there are limited ways to interpret what the pope has said in the encyclical. Either divorce and remarriage now constitutes a valid marriage in which case this would mean the church now accepts divorce as a possibility as opposed to saying that divorce of a valid marriage is never possible. If not this would otherwise mean that two people who are not validly married yet engage in a sexual relationship can still receive communion somehow.
Obviously none of this makes any sense whatsoever and these for Cardinals are rightfully seeking clarification on these very important topics.
The problem is that if divorce and remarriage is considered fine then that would change Millennia of church teaching on the subject. Otherwise it would be saying that sexual relationships outside of marriage are also OK and that a person can receive communion. The only other possibility would be to say that people can receive communion who are in a state of sin. This situation needs to be rectified as soon as possible.

What this priest did was SHOCKING!
I came across an article about a priest who placed a dead fetus at an altar. I found that somewhat shocking. Then I realized it was Fr. Frank Pavone, leader of Priests for Life, one of the most prominent pro-life organizations in the United States. He was also chosen as an adviser by Donald Trump for pro-life issues.
Fr. Pavone is apparently now under investigation by the Diocese of Amarillo, Texas for this. The diocese said this is not how the Catholic Church approaches this issue and that an investigation is under way.
My thoughts are that at worst this is a misdemeanor. A fetus is a human being, in this case a dead one. The Catholic Church has always displayed the dead body of people in the context of a funeral. I see this as no different. Perhaps the actual altar is not where a body should be placed, especially because this is the place the consecration of the Holy Eucharist takes place. But other than that, we must recognize that the fetus is a full human being deserving of respect and love, and to be buried with dignity after a funeral.
I know this issue can get tricky when we talk about how old a fetus would have to be before a funeral takes place. I know often pro-life priests and dioceses will have mass funerals for the many victims of abortion and those who have died in a miscarriage. Where the line is drawn exactly, I don't know.
But for abortion to end, it must be revealed and confronted. People must know what it is. At the presidential debates, many people were shocked when Trump described a partial birth abortion. First of all, he didn't even really describe it in great detail. Secondly, he was only describing reality. Real children are being killed.
When I first saw this video of this priest, I think it was a live stream on Facebook. Honestly, I was shocked. I was disturbed. I almost felt somewhat sick. But just because something produces a negative physical reaction, doesn't mean it shouldn't be shown. For example, people go to the Holocaust Museum even though it's very unpleasant because they want to know what it was all about.

Euthanasia in Canada Already OUT OF CONTROL!
Euthanasia has recently become legal in Canada after the Supreme Court invented the right to have a doctor kill you. Of course as with any place that legalizes euthanasia eventually it gets much much worse and never gets better. If you look into other countries that have legalized euthanasia such as the Netherlands and Belgium they are in the process of executing young people, old people, people with mental disabilities or issues, people with things that we would normally try to help them with. But now instead we are just murdering them like animals.
To be more specific, after they legalized the killing of people in Canada many many more people took advantage of it than they had originally predicted. In Quebec for instance they assumed that within the first few months there would be approximately 100 people who would take advantage of this. People who are in extreme pain and see no other way out of it than by having a doctor kill them. However that number is already more than triple. That's right more than three times the number they had originally estimated are now asking to be killed and what we see from other countries is that this number goes up and up and never down.
Once we start living in a completely nihilist society that does not recognize the value of human life and does not strive to save it eventually people are pressured strongly to commit suicide. The families of older patients tell the patient maybe it would be easier on you if we had a doctor help you escape the pain or whatever other euphemism they feel like using. The older person out of a sense of obligation and duty will often ask to be killed to alleviate the burden on their family. This family has already fully and completely abandoned their own parent in violation of the fourth Commandment which says to honor thy mother and thy father. They are in fact doing the exact opposite.
One of the reasons why euthanasia is so popular amongst the elite of our country - those who believe they're better than everybody - else is because it's a cost-saving measure on our Healthcare System. A few years back a Japanese minister said that health care for older people was too expensive and that they should do the Patriotic thing and commit suicide. A similar sentiment is being expressed across Canada especially with this new law which can predictably see hundreds and thousands of people slaughtered at the hands of the doctors who took an oath to protect their lives.
Even more shocking and absolutely outrageous is how this law came to be. The reasoning is so insane, so crazy, so absolutely unbelievable that I suggest you look into it yourself because you probably won't believe me. But in fact the right to commit suicide by doctor came about because the court somehow decided that this would protect the right to life. How on Earth is this fathomable? Their are crazy and mixed up reasoning states that if doctor assisted suicide becomes available but at a later date or if the person has to wait to have a doctor kill them this could prevent people from taking their own lives sooner thus protecting their right to life.
As Mark Twain once famously put it, this is a concept so completely insane it would take a university Professor to accept it. To simplify this reasoning into layman's terms what they're saying is we will protect the right to life of suicidal people by making them wait a tiny bit longer for a doctor to kill them. Of course they say this without any information or knowledge whatsoever. More likely and more obviously what this will do is actually encourage people to commit suicide for a number of obvious reasons. For one thing by legalizing it and putting it in hospitals it legitimizes it. It makes people believe this is not only a legitimate option but for many it is a duty. Also it makes committing suicide far far easier. It makes it far less likely that the person will reconsider their course of action.
The culture of death absolutely loves this law. The more people they can kill the happier they are. And similar to abortion, these people who advocated for euthanasia will not tolerate any form of waiting. When it comes to performing this action. They will demand that anybody contemplating suicide be killed as soon as possible. In fact we have heard statements from the likes of Bill Gates and others asking the question of whether we should continue Medical Care and treatment for elderly people or if on the other hand we should simply let them die or be killed because according to Bill Gates it is better to kill off an old person and use the money we save for medical expenses to pay for teachers than to let them live. I'm sure Satan absolutely loves these forms of comments.
And finally as a final coup de grace for this entire travesty and complete contempt for human life and worship of nihilism and Satanism the law states that every single Hospital in the entire country is 100% obliged to perform these murders. Any hospital that does not conform to the demands of Beelzebub and haters of life will be shut down without a second thought. What are Catholic Hospitals often named after the most courageous and holy saints our world has ever seen do when they are forced against their will to murder the most helpless and innocent people among us? We can fight, we can denounce But ultimately just like in the time of the Caesars and the Roman emperors who are throwing Christians to the Lions we too may have to face martyrdom in this fight for what is good and righteous as the world is engulfed more and more into Hellfire.
