+AMDG+
The Masked Angel:
During this past week, several events happened that
I either didn't have enough to comment on for a full blog, or the event itself
said all that needed to be said. So for this first ever Odds and Ends post,
I've put together five announcements and stories in one post.
First
things first: One will notice I am now starting to put AMDG at the start of
every post. This is not to say that I am going full Jesuit because I still have
issues with the order (despite the fact Pope Francis is a Jesuit) but that
doesn't mean there's something wrong with their spirituality. We should do all
we can for the greater glory so until the Vatican condemns Loyola's writings,
I'm sticking with it. Besides the phrase also appears in Montfort's writings
and even the FSSP uses it on their own website.
Second: It’s graduation time in America and one
particular valedictorian speech has been getting national attention for
standing up to the atheist bulling Christians into silence. When told he was
going to give the valedictorian speech, Liberty High School senior Roy Costner
lead the crowd in the Lord’s Prayer. At first, the insane group called the
Freedom From Religion Foundation sued his school district for promoting what it
called “unconstitutional prayer practice.”
“The valedictorian who so insensitively inflicted Christian prayer on a captive audience at a secular
graduation ceremony, is a product of a school district which itself set an
unconstitutional example by hosting school board prayer,” FFRF co-president
Annie Laurie Gaylor said in a prepared statement.

Excuse you, Gaylor? That’s not the impression I get
when I watch the video of his speech:

Third: Speaking of bat-scat insane atheists, another
anti-religion group in Florida is planning to put up their own monument to
supposedly counter Ten Commandment monuments going up all over. Reports vary as
to what will be put on it, but from the reports I have read, it looks like it
might include a quote from Thomas Jefferson and a line from the Treaty of
Tripoli.
For the story on this, click here.
Yeah…lawsuits and free speech work both ways, atheists.
Go forward with this idea, and I will call on people to put up on your
monuments notes that counter everything you say. I know which quote you will
use concerning the Treaty of Tripoli, and I will point out why your reasoning
is flawed.
Then again, given how
so many people know what the First Amendment reads verses how few even know
what Treaty of Tripoli Day is, I might not have to do that. ;)

And finally, from the informed pack at Church
Militant.TV, we have this story from my home city:
