The people of Ireland don’t want abortion and every patriot must resist the anti-family lobby. Tradition, Family and Patriotism still means something in Ireland. ...

Culture Alert

The ‘Eleison Comments’ of Bishop Richard Williamson. Number CCLXXXV (285) 29 December 2012 CULTURE ALERT As the leadership of the Society of St Pius X seems to be faltering, so Catholics who love the Society because they have received so much from it in years gone by might be tempted to think that there is nothing much that they as simple faithful can do about it. They would be wrong. Let them read these reflections from a friend of mine, and they should be able to read between the lines that if God does not rescue the Society for them,...

War on Cash Runs Into a Wall – and a Heroic Bank

COMMENT: More and more banks in Ireland are refusing to take in, or pay out, in cash. The prime reason is that CASH allows people to avoid paying government taxes on a range of items – and we cannot have that now can we? Plastic is not safer as we have seen with all kinds of laptops “disappearing” which contain highly personal information on bank accounts. The answer to this trend is very simple: insist on cash or take your business elsewhere. We can survive without the usury banks, but they cannot exist without us! http://lewrockwell.com/salerno/salerno13.1.html...

Christ Born
