So we can use a sermon, as a sacramental, to increase in grace

It is good to see Fr Tim Finigan back on form. Every post of his is reflective and worth pondering on. I thought that this in particular may be something we had forgotten about.
The school inspectors, Ofsted, are now penalising schools for failing to talk to primary school children about sexual orientation and gender “reassignment”. Ofsted are essentially attempting to force religious schools to teach an ideology which is contrary to the tenets of many traditional religions. They are undermining the freedom of parents to educate their children in accordance with their own traditions, and undermining the freedom of religion.

THIS article on the SPUC website tells how Nicola Sturgeon is apparently trying to exterminate the Irish by allowing them free abortions on the NHS in Scotland.
Is this because she considers the Irish a threat to the stability of her avowed goal of Scottish independenece or does she just hate the Irish?
Perhaps she simply hates babies! Who knows?
Catholics should follow Pope St. John Paul II’s example of kneeling before the Blessed Sacrament, Cardinal Robert Sarah said, noting that the late pope knelt even until his last days. The cardinal also highlighted St. Teresa of Calcutta’s reverence for the Eucharist, noting that she once said nothing brought her more sadness than Communion on the hand.
May I be the first to welcome back any Episcopalians who, after their church agreeing to conduct ‘marriage’ services for homosexual couples, would like to realign themselves back into the One True Fold in the fullness of the Faith of Jesus Christ.
This also applies to our other Separated Brethren (especially from the other Anglican communions who will no doubt follow suit).
Many Muslims – maybe even the majority – are peaceable and want the things we all want. A happy family, home… fulfillment. But if you read the Koran, it is hard to see how Islam, with its repeated injunctions to slaughter the Infidel without mercy, can ever possibly be described as a religion of peace.

Having read the qoran this statement is totally true – Our recourse to combat this is the Holy Rosary of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and Our Blessed Lord Himself transebstantially present in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
Another shock was for us the practice of the giving Holy Communion in hand. To my parents, my siblings and to me such a practice was really horrible, my mother even cried, when she saw such a scene.

This is a Bishop who truely loves Our Blessed Lord – Please read this article.
Now, these five questions have put the Pope in a stalemate. If he were to answer them by denying the Tradition and the Magisterium of his predecessors, he would pass to being formally heretical, so he cannot do it. If instead he were to answer them in harmony with the previous Magisterium, he would contradict a great part of the doctrinally relevant actions taken during his pontificate, so it would be a very difficult choice. He, therefore, chose silence because, humanly speaking, the situation can appear to have no way out.
If you haven’t already done so, please (Click on the above link and) read this paper carefully. It is excellent and by far the clearest critique of Amoris Laetitia and its relevance to the Doctrine of the Church that I have read. If you have glanced at it, but thought it a bit long to read in detail, please give it another go and read it thoroughly.
Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Vatican. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new heresies, to develop new practices and new doctrines, to boldly teach what no man has taught before.
