György Schwartz AKA George Soros Pulling ALL The STRINGS!?!
Parts of this article were originally posted in Sept. 2009 by Jim O'Neill
George Soros, was born August 12, 1930 in Hungary. Soros’ father, Tivadar, was a fervent practitioner of Esperanto—a language invented in 1887, and designed to be the first global language, free of any national identity. He is a Hungarian-American currency speculator, stock investor, businessman, philanthropist, and social activist. He became known as "the Man Who Broke the Bank of England" after he made a reported $1 billion during the 1992 Black Wednesday UK currency crises. Soros had correctly anticipated that the British government would have to devalue the pound.
The Schwartz’s, who were non-practicing Jews, changed the family name to Soros, in order to facilitate assimilation into the gentile population, as the Nazis spread into Hungary during the 1930s. Soros is an Esperanto word meaning “to soar.”
In 1944 Hitler’s henchman Adolf Eichmann arrived in Hungary, to oversee the murder of that country’s Jews. The Soros children were all given fake identity papers, and were shipped out to various Christian families. George Soros ended up with a man whose job was confiscating property from the Jewish population. Soros went with him on his rounds.
During an interview with “Sixty Minute’s” Steve Kroft, Soros was asked about his “best year:”
Soros has repeatedly called 1944 “the best year of his life.”
In an article in the Wall Street Journal, Joshua Muravchik notes that, “70% of Mr. Soros’s fellow Jews in Hungary, nearly a half-million human beings, were annihilated in that year. They were dying and disappearing all around him, and their numbers no doubt included many whom he knew personally. Yet he gives no sign that this put any damper on his elation, either at the time or indeed in retrospect.”
Sweetness and Light
KROFT: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.
SOROS: Yes. Yes.
KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.
SOROS: Yes. That’s right. Yes.
KROFT: I mean, that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?
SOROS: Not, not at all. Not at all.
KROFT: No feeling of guilt?
SOROS: No.
Of course he didn’t feel guilty. Soros has the moral depth of a clam. Nonetheless, he has said, “my goal is to become the conscience of the world.”
In his article, Muravchik describes how Soros has admitted to having “carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood, which I felt I had to control, otherwise they might get me in trouble.”
Be that as it may. After WWII, Soros attended the London School of Economics, where he fell under the thrall of fellow atheist and Hungarian, Karl Popper, one of his professors. Popper was a mentor to Soros until Popper’s death in 1994. Two of Popper’s most influential teachings concerned “the open society,” and Fallibilism.
Fallibilism is the philosophical doctrine that all claims of knowledge could, in principle, be mistaken.
Then again, I could be wrong about that.
The “open society” basically refers to a “test and evaluate” approach to social engineering. Regarding “open society” Roy Childs writes, “Since the Second World War, most of the Western democracies have followed Popper’s advice about piecemeal social engineering and democratic social reform, and it has gotten them into a grand mess.
In 1956 Soros moved to New York City, where he worked on Wall Street, and started amassing his fortune. He specialized in hedge funds and currency speculation.
Soros is absolutely ruthless, amoral, and clever in his business dealings, and quickly made his fortune. By the 1980s he was well on his way to becoming the global powerhouse that he is today.
In an article Kyle-Anne Shiver wrote for “The American Thinker” she says, “Soros made his first billion in 1992 by shorting the British pound with leveraged billions in financial bets, and became known as the man who broke the Bank of England. He broke it on the backs of hard-working British citizens who immediately saw their homes severely devalued and their life savings cut drastically…almost overnight.”
In 1994 Soros crowed in “The New Republic” that “the former Soviet Empire is now called the Soros Empire.” The Russia-gate scandal in 1999, which almost collapsed the Russian economy, was labeled by Rep. Jim Leach, then head of the House Banking Committee, to be “one of the greatest social robberies in human history.” The “Soros Empire” indeed.
In 1997 Soros almost destroyed the economies of Thailand and Malaysia. At the time, Malaysia’s Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohamad, called Soros “a villain, and a moron.” Thai activist Weng Tojirakarn said, “We regard George Soros as a kind of Dracula. He sucks the blood from the people.”
France has upheld an earlier conviction against Soros, for felony insider trading. Soros was fined 2.9 million dollars. (Source)
Recently, his native Hungary fined Soros 2.2 million dollars for “illegal market manipulation.” Elizabeth Crum writes that “The Hungarian economy has been in a state of transition as the country seeks to become more financially stable and westernized. [Soros’] deliberately driving down the share price of its largest bank put Hungary’s economy into a wicked tailspin, one from which it is still trying to recover.”
My point here is that Soros is an EVIL planetary parasite. His grasp, greed, and gluttony have a global reach.
“Destroying America will be the culmination of my life’s work.”
Friends,
This man György Schwartz AKA George Soros is an evil man…the most vile of human beings; he is a filthy Nazi collaborator! George Soros is the personification of evil on this earth and he controls the Democratic Party in America. Here in his own words are his stated goals; “Destroying America will be the culmination of my life’s work.”
I have stated many times that Barrack Hussein Obama is a Manchurian Candidate…but whose? Well the answer lies in who funded his campaign, directs the democratic minions who promote the ideals of this Marxist/Muslim in the White House…that man is George Soros!
Oh… how far we have sunk in America when we allow this Nazi collaborator, a man who sent half a million Jews to their deaths, to shape, manipulate and destroy America!
And the puppet he uses is Barak Hussein Obama and who better to describe this marionette in the White House than Cicero:
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”
Read Cicero again and when you do remember Cicero’s words…
“The traitor is the plague.” And who is that? Barack Hussein Obama and his puppet master George Soros!
But what about America? Soros told Australia’s national newspaper “The Australian” “America, as the centre of the globalised financial markets, was sucking up the savings of the world.
"Destroying America will be the culmination of my life’s work.”
Soros also told “The Australian” that the world financial crisis was”stimulating” and “in a way, the culmination of my life’s work.”
Stimulating. Have you found the job losses, house foreclosures, and incredible national debt—stimulating? Me neither.
Obama has recently promised 10 billion of our tax dollars to Brazil (yes, billion with a “b”), in order to give them a leg-up in expanding their offshore oil fields. Obama’s largesse towards Brazil, came shortly after Soros invested heavily in Brazilian oil (Petrobras).
Tait Trussel writes, “The Petrobras loan may be a windfall for Soros and Brazil, but it is a bad deal for the U.S. The American Petroleum Institute estimates that oil exploration in the U.S. could create 160,000 new, well-paying jobs, as well as $1.7 trillion in revenues to federal, state, and local governments, all while fostering greater energy security.”

Calling himself a philanthropist, Soros’ role is to tighten the ideological stranglehold of globalization and the New World Order while promoting his own financial gain. He is without conscience; a capitalist who functions with absolute amorality.”

Hard working, honest, American taxpayers, are being treated like gullible suckers!!?!!
Interesting how sin and lack of conscience can make a man so ugly, isn't it? From youth to old age ... sin shows and takes it's toll ... and even SO much more later :-(

THANK YOU, Archbishop John Nienstedt!
This is just wonderful .. there are a number of priests that are standing straight with strong backbones and speaking the TRUTH these days ... let's pray that it becomes an epidemic soon!
Archbishop John Nienstedt: No Luke Warm Catholics!
“Oh’ How I Wish You Were Hot or Cold, But Because You Are Luke Warm I Will Spit You Out Of My Mouth”–God
By: Craig Lassig AP
The Catholic archbishop for the Twin Cities defended his right Monday to speak to fellow Catholics on social issues, and said a shrinking Roman Catholic church is no reason to consider a more liberal stance.
Archbishop John Nienstedt sat down with The Associated Press after a weekend in which the St. Paul-Minneapolis Archdiocese announced it would close 21 churches to reflect churchgoers’ move from urban areas to suburbia, declines in regular church attendance and an expectation of fewer new priests to replace those who retire or die.
The archbishop, who recently angered some of the area’s 800,000 Catholics with the mailing of an anti-gay marriage DVD, said he believes spiritual leaders have a duty to talk to their flock about issues they see as important — even if some of those views might be unpopular with prospective churchgoers.
“We’re part and parcel of the culture, so it’s important for us to be involved with those discussions and have our say,” Nienstedt said. He said Jesus Christ directed his followers to “either be hot or cold, but if you’re lukewarm, I don’t want that. So we want people who live their faith.”
Nienstedt called the reorganization, which also will involve dozens more churches sharing priests and some staff and resources, “a reconfiguring of resources to meet our needs and mission.” But he said Catholics need not fear a smaller church, and the threat of one is not a reason to abandon core tenets.
“I believe that it’s important that if you’re going to be Catholic, that you have to be 100% Catholic,” Nienstedt said. “That you stand by the church, you believe what the church believes and you pass that on to your sons and daughters and your grandsons and granddaughters.”
The Rev. Mike Tegeder, lead pastor at St. Edward Catholic Church in Bloomington and a frequent critic of the archbishop, said he was puzzled by the term “100 percent Catholic.”
“The church has always gotten into trouble when it seeks to separate the pure from the impure,” said Tegeder, whose suburban congregation emerged unscathed from the reorganization plans. “Jesus cautions us to be careful in weeding and judging.”
Tegeder and some other priests have argued the Catholic Church could quickly resolve its problem with declining numbers of priests if it allowed married clergy. But “I personally don’t see that happening,” Nienstedt said.
One church on the list of those to be closed and merged with several nearby churches is St. Clement, in Minneapolis. its pastor, the Rev. Earl Simonson, said he’s not sure if the building will actually shut down or still be used for some services, though under the archdiocese’s approach it will at minimum lose its name.
“We just wait for the great archbishop to tell us what we’re doing,” Simonson said. “We’re mere flunkies.”
Still, Simonson did not take issue with Nienstedt’s conviction that smaller isn’t necessarily less desirable for the Catholic Church.
“That’s what I was taught in seminary,” Simonson said. “If you don’t want to be Catholic, then get out. The archbishop is right about that. Human nature being what it is, you’ll always have some who think they can be half in and half out.”
Let us know your thoughts. Is the Archbishop being “judgmental” or faithful to Christ.

Why do Muslims only Live on ONE WAY STREETS??
Before I say anything .. have a look at a Muslim DANCING on High Altar at Florence Cathedral!
What do you think would happen if a Christian did something similar at a Mosque?
For some time now, I have noticed how one sided things appear from the Muslim world's point of view. Couple things I can remember off the top of my head ... I'm sure you can remember many more and that a search on google will produce even more yet.
What about the Dutch cartoonist that had to practically go into hiding regarding a political cartoon about Mohammad? Then there's the time they were ready to string up the Pope because he quoted a 14th century emperor who simply stated the truth about how violent they were. It's ok for them to shoot rockets at Israel, but when Israel retaliates it's wrong? How DARE Israel attempt to protect itself or stop the attacks on their citizens? They disperse themselves into ALL other countries .. why? Cuz they wanna make NICE? There is an agenda folks. He who has eyes, let them SEE!
I myself, and I venture to bet most of us, would not take up residency in another country and then demand that country to follow the codes and laws of the USA. We would not demand special rights so we could live as we did in our own country THAT WE JUST LEFT. If it's that important to them, why did they leave in the first place? If that's how they want to live, fine .. let them live like that in their OWN COUNTRY. But they want to force THEIR laws on us .. no, not just US ... the WHOLE WORLD. They will not rest till the Islamic flag flies everywhere.
They say they are a peaceful nation. What they don't say is that even the Koran says you will find contradictory statements in this book. When you do, you are to follow the most recently dated to be correct. Problem with this is that all the PEACEFUL stuff in the Koran was in the beginning of the book. The VIOLENT TAKEOVER POLICY comes later, is more recent and therefore is today's law of the land.
We have all heard of the severe old testament type punishments for crimes ... cutting off hands for stealing and certainly the stoning of adulterers, but are folks really aware that ANYONE that doesn't believe as they do is an INFIDEL and by THEIR LAW (which they want IMPOSED IN THE USA AND EVERYWHERE ELSE) it states that all infidels must die unless they convert to Islam.
These are the descendants of Ishmael .. and I believe personally that there will never be peace in the middle east between them and the descendants of Issac in our day. Since Hagar and Ishmael left the camp of Abraham and Sarah, it has been so and will continue to be so until Jesus Himself returns and restores all peace everywhere.
Now, I should say here that I have nothing against any race or creed. I can smile at anyone and mean it wholeheartedly with full sincerity of heart. However, when I know that a nation's set of laws and holy books TELL THEM to LIE and DECEIVE in order to trick or force 'infidels' into converting and if they don't, they can go ahead and kill them for GOD ... I have a problem.
We are so afraid of 'offending' anyone that we won't speak up for what we KNOW is RIGHT. Our children pay the price to be certain and we bring hardship on ourselves because of it. It's NOT just up to the priests and clergy ... we are ALL ONE IN THE BODY OF CHRIST ... we are ALL CALLED TO TAKE UP THE CROSS AND FOLLOW HIM ... WE ARE OUR BROTHER'S KEEPERS!
Do we all forget that satan is a liar and the father of lies? That his deal is to trick and deceive the masses? Oh well .. that's right .. nearly forgot .. most INTELLIGENT folks "KNOW" that satan is just a mythological creature that never really existed ... my mistake! Guess I'm just one of those poor sad sheeple that follow a distant calling of what I THINK is RIGHT and Good and Pure. I follow the Voice of JESUS CHRIST, Son of the Living God .. in Him do I move and live and have my being! I beg you all to pray more ... fast, do penance ... Jesus is not delayed because He FORGOT ... He delays so He can bestow more mercy on this thankless generation .. in hopes that even just one more can be saved before the great and terrible day! And make no mistake about it .. the great and terrible DOES APPROACH. How long do you think our Lady can hold back His Hand of Justice? She is gracious and generous and loving in her compassion, but she knows too that Justice must be satisfied and Justice is what will bring us closer to life everlasting the way it was meant to be lived from the beginning.
Pray for the clergy, especially the Bishops; that they take a stronger stand in what they KNOW is TRUTH and not worry so much about their positions and the politics of the day. Pray that all clergy "receive the grace they require to be the servants God desires"!
If you for a moment think that it's just coincidence that Islam is spreading out all over the world, I have oceanfront property in Kansas that I'd like to sell.
So as our Lady says ... PRAY, PRAY, PRAY!!
Your eternal souls DO depend upon it.
Keep your eyes open ... watch for the signs of the times ... keep your wicks trimmed and oil in your lamps!
Pray hard that the TRUTH be shown to all sincere seekers straining to see it through the darkness of the lies we are inundated by.
That all be saved and none be lost ... every soul is worth the cost!
This is not to spread hate, Lord knows there's already an abundance of that in the world .. but folks have to wake up and smell the coffee before we're herded off in freight cars to be 'taken care of' in 'nice camps' for 'our own good'. Our heads have been in the sand for WAAAY too long now. We have swallowed the complacency and relativism pills too many times to our detriment and it's now beginning to wreak havoc with our SYSTEMS. But it's never to late to BEG MERCY with a sincere heart and start following the One Who IS the Way, the Truth and the Life in ALL THINGS. We need to accept and EMBRACE ALL TEACHING from Holy Mother Church who is lead by the Holy Spirit in matters of Faith and Morals!
Can we imagine ourselves standing before Jesus Himself and telling Him that we feel we were JUSTIFIED in following what was CONVENIENT for us down here and tossing aside the other things He said were important??? We cannot pick and choose what we will believe. We believe, as Catholics, ALL that has been revealed by Scripture, Tradition and Magisterium because He Who revealed it is TRUTH HIMSELF and can neither deceive or BE deceived!
REMEMBER: "The Christian says: 'I will die for what I believe.' ... the Muslim says: 'YOU will die for what I believe.'" ~unknown
This article, or raving rant, was prompted by an article by Patrick Madrid, thanks Patrick, you got me thinking!
It's possible that there may be subsequent additions to this text.
Had a feeling there would be more .. found this this morning (10/20/10):

A little info on the MAHDI and why Ahmadinejad spoke the words of the bible: "Let us remove Israel from the face of the earth that her name be no more remembered."
They have (apparently most systematically) spread out in most if not every country of the world all of a sudden, seemingly almost all at once, although it's been over the course of a few years. But WHY? These are folks that pray 5 times a day with foreheads to the ground in stocking feet. Folks that are that fervent, well, WHY do they leave their land? Anyone can believe in anything and they SURELY DO, especially these days .. but when you go intimidating, forcing and KILLING others because of it and then TAKE OFFENSE when others attempt to point it out or STOP YOU ... well folks ... WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? We are the calm frog in the pot while the heat is being raised ... not just with this but with permissiveness in our own land as well!Shia Muslims, including Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, believe that an Islamic savior known as the Mahdi will return at the end of time. They believe the Mahdi's appearing will be a time of chaos, carnage and confusion."Imam al-Mahdi is another name for the 'Twelfth Imam' or the 'Hidden Imam,' as New York Times best-selling author Joel C. Rosenberg explained in one of his recent blogs."Shia Muslims believe this Islamic messiah will come at the End of Days to destroy Judeo-Christian civilization as we have known it, force infidels to convert or be executed, and will set up a one-world Islamic government known as the 'caliphate.'According to Rosenberg, Ahmadinejad believes Allah has chosen him to prepare the world for the coming of the Mahdi and that he can hasten his appearance by creating worldwide chaos."Ahmadinejad believes the way to 'hasten' the Twelfth Imam's coming is to annihilate the U.S. and Israel," Rosenberg said. "This would bring about the 'victory' that Ahmadinejad prayed for on American soil."
In a provocative speech to the U.N. General Assembly on Thursday, Sept. 23, Iran's president prayed God would "hasten the arrival of Imam al-Mahdi and grant him good health and victory and make us his followers and those who attest to his righteousness."
We are so afraid of 'offending' anyone that we won't speak up for what we KNOW is RIGHT. Our children pay the price to be certain and we bring hardship on ourselves because of it. It's NOT just up to the priests and clergy ... we are ALL ONE IN THE BODY OF CHRIST ... we are ALL CALLED TO TAKE UP THE CROSS AND FOLLOW HIM ... WE ARE OUR BROTHER'S KEEPERS!
Do we all forget that satan is a liar and the father of lies? That his deal is to trick and deceive the masses? Oh well .. that's right .. nearly forgot .. most INTELLIGENT folks "KNOW" that satan is just a mythological creature that never really existed ... my mistake! Guess I'm just one of those poor sad sheeple that follow a distant calling of what I THINK is RIGHT and Good and Pure. I follow the Voice of JESUS CHRIST, Son of the Living God .. in Him do I move and live and have my being! I beg you all to pray more ... fast, do penance ... Jesus is not delayed because He FORGOT ... He delays so He can bestow more mercy on this thankless generation .. in hopes that even just one more can be saved before the great and terrible day! And make no mistake about it .. the great and terrible DOES APPROACH. How long do you think our Lady can hold back His Hand of Justice? She is gracious and generous and loving in her compassion, but she knows too that Justice must be satisfied and Justice is what will bring us closer to life everlasting the way it was meant to be lived from the beginning.
Pray for the clergy, especially the Bishops; that they take a stronger stand in what they KNOW is TRUTH and not worry so much about their positions and the politics of the day. Pray that all clergy "receive the grace they require to be the servants God desires"!
If you for a moment think that it's just coincidence that Islam is spreading out all over the world, I have oceanfront property in Kansas that I'd like to sell.
So as our Lady says ... PRAY, PRAY, PRAY!!
Your eternal souls DO depend upon it.
Keep your eyes open ... watch for the signs of the times ... keep your wicks trimmed and oil in your lamps!
Pray hard that the TRUTH be shown to all sincere seekers straining to see it through the darkness of the lies we are inundated by.
That all be saved and none be lost ... every soul is worth the cost!
This is not to spread hate, Lord knows there's already an abundance of that in the world .. but folks have to wake up and smell the coffee before we're herded off in freight cars to be 'taken care of' in 'nice camps' for 'our own good'. Our heads have been in the sand for WAAAY too long now. We have swallowed the complacency and relativism pills too many times to our detriment and it's now beginning to wreak havoc with our SYSTEMS. But it's never to late to BEG MERCY with a sincere heart and start following the One Who IS the Way, the Truth and the Life in ALL THINGS. We need to accept and EMBRACE ALL TEACHING from Holy Mother Church who is lead by the Holy Spirit in matters of Faith and Morals!
Can we imagine ourselves standing before Jesus Himself and telling Him that we feel we were JUSTIFIED in following what was CONVENIENT for us down here and tossing aside the other things He said were important??? We cannot pick and choose what we will believe. We believe, as Catholics, ALL that has been revealed by Scripture, Tradition and Magisterium because He Who revealed it is TRUTH HIMSELF and can neither deceive or BE deceived!
REMEMBER: "The Christian says: 'I will die for what I believe.' ... the Muslim says: 'YOU will die for what I believe.'" ~unknown

St. Teresa of Avila Feast Day
Also well known as St. Teresa of Jesus and honored by the Church as the "seraphic virgin," virgo seraphica, and reformer of the Carmelite Order, ranks first among women for wisdom and learning. She is called doctrix mystica, doctor of mystical theology; in a report to Pope Paul V the Roman Rota declared: "Teresa has been given to the Church by God as a teacher of the spiritual life. The mysteries of the inner mystical life which the holy Fathers propounded unsystematically and without orderly sequence, she has presented with unparalleled clarity." Her writings are still the classic works on mysticism, and from her all later teachers have drawn, e.g., Francis de Sales, Alphonsus Liguori. Characteristic of her mysticism is the subjective-individualistic approach; there is little integration with the liturgy and social piety, and thus she reflects the spirit of the sixteenth and following centuries. Teresa was born at Avila, Spain, in the year 1515. At the age of seven she set out for Africa to die for Christ, but was brought back by her uncle. When she lost her mother at twelve, she implored Mary for her maternal protection. In 1533 she entered the Carmelite Order; for eighteen years she suffered physical pain and spiritual dryness. Under divine inspiration and with the approval of Pope Pius IV, she began the work of reforming the Carmelite Order. In spite of heavy opposition and constant difficulties, she founded thirty-two reformed convents.
Truly wonderful were the exterior and interior manifestations of her mystical union with God, especially during the last decade of her life. These graces reached a climax when her heart was transfixed (transverberatio cordis), an event that is commemorated in the Carmelite Order by a special feast on August 27. She practiced great devotion to the foster-father of Jesus, whose cult was greatly furthered throughout the Church through her efforts. When dying she often repeated the words: "Lord, I am a daughter of the Church!" Her holy body rests upon the high altar of the Carmelite church in Alba, Spain; her heart with its mysterious wound is reserved in a precious reliquary on the Epistle side of the altar.
Let nothing affright thee,Excerpted from The Church's Year of Grace, Pius Parsch.
Nothing dismay thee.
All is passing,
God ever remains.
Patience obtains all.
Whoever possesses God
Cannot lack anything
God alone suffices.
Teresa lived in an age of exploration as well as political, social and religious upheaval. It was the 16th century, a time of turmoil and reform. She was born before the Protestant Reformation and died almost 20 years after the closing of the Council of Trent. The gift of God to Teresa in and through which she became holy and left her mark on the Church and the world is threefold: She was a woman; she was a contemplative; she was an active reformer.
As a woman, Teresa stood on her own two feet, even in the man's world of her time. She was "her own woman," entering the Carmelites despite strong opposition from her father. She is a person wrapped not so much in silence as in mystery. Beautiful, talented, outgoing, adaptable, affectionate, courageous, enthusiastic, she was totally human. Like Jesus, she was a mystery of paradoxes: wise, yet practical; intelligent, yet much in tune with her experience; a mystic, yet an energetic reformer. A holy woman, a womanly woman.
Teresa was a woman "for others." Though a contemplative, she spent much of her time and energy seeking to reform herself and the Carmelites, to lead them back to the full observance of the primitive Rule. She founded over a half-dozen new monasteries. She traveled, wrote, fought—always to renew, to reform. In her self, in her prayer, in her life, in her efforts to reform, in all the people she touched, she was a woman for others, a woman who inspired and gave life.
Her writings, especially the Way of Perfection and The Interior Castle, have helped generations of believers.
In 1970, the Church gave her the title she had long held in the popular mind: doctor of the Church. She and St. Catherine of Siena were the first women so honored.
Patron: sickness; against headaches; against heart disease; lacemakers; loss of parents; opposition of Church authorities; those in need of grace; religious; those ridiculed for their piety; Spain; those named Teresa, Theresa, Teresita, Terry, Tessa, Teresina, and Tracy.

Perspective? Insight? or In your Face TRUTH?
Easy to point fingers today at the Church isn't it? I mean satan (lower case on purpose) has it all tied up in a neat little package to discredit and malign the Church and her servants, especially the 'servant of the servants'. What many don't realize/understand/want-to-admit is that the RCC is targeted for a REASON. Forget about religion for a moment. If you are trying to take a military position and want to win battles that bring you closer to winning the war, then you pick your targets wisely and with much consternation. Christ is the Foundation, He is truly Present in the Eucharist (this is HOW He is with us till the end of time as He promised). If Christ is the Source and Summit of the Church and the Priest is the one that consecrates the elements bringing about Transubstantiation, what better target than discrediting the priests, thinning the numbers and eventually eliminating the the most Powerful Source of grace Truly Present in this, our most Perfect Sacrifice?
Folks really need to read AA-1025. A very short true paperback novel documenting how one 'priest' was the 1,025th person sent into the priesthood to destroy it from the inside out. VERY ENLIGHTENING with brow raising memories if you were alive like I was during Vatican II. A very easy afternoon read that you will find compelling.
Anyway, this is only the tip of the iceberg of what could be written on this subject. But I will stop now before I get out of hand.
Questions and comments welcomed!
