United States defends the freedom of the Catholic Church

In view of my recent speculations about the identity of the Great Eagle, I was interested in as well as pleased by the recent proclamation by the President of the United States asking that St Thomas Becket be honoured by ceremonies in churches:

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim December 29, 2020, as the 850th anniversary of the martyrdom of Saint Thomas Becket. I invite the people of the United States to observe the day in schools and churches and customary places of meeting with appropriate ceremonies in commemoration of the life and legacy of Thomas Becket.

 

World Apostasy Day

The United Nations has declared February 4th to be the ‘International Day of Human Fraternity’. The date was chosen because it is the date when Pope Francis and the Grand Imam signed that document about how much God approves of there being lots of religions.

{Pope Francis has also just announced that there will be a year dedicated to Amoris Laetitia, starting on the Feast of St Joseph 2021 and ending on June 26th, 2022 – rather a long year. I am afraid this is intended to be a flushing-out and mopping-up of orthodox opposition. However, magna est veritas, and consequently, praevalebit.}

A blessed Feast of St Thomas Becket to all our readers south of the Border.
