Pope Francis on Saturday accepted the resignation as a cardinal of Theodore McCarrick, the former archbishop of Washington, D.C. and one of the U.S. Catholic Church’s most prominent figures, who has been at the center of allegations of sex abuse with minors and young seminarians.

Priests in the Catholic Church are not all homosexuals and pedophiles, now nuns from across the world are coming forward to recount horrific stories of sexual abuse by priests and other Catholic clergy. This news comes as Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, accused of sexual acts with both children and young seminarians, has become the first to lose his ‘red hat’ in modern times.

“And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.” Revelation 17:6 (KJV)

Predictably, Cardinal McCarrick has not been handed over to the police or a court of actual law, but is under ‘house arrest’ and has been ‘sentenced’ to a life of ‘prayer and penance’. I think this is more of a crime by the Vatican than the actual crimes committed by the cardinal. But the Catholic Church has a long and gruesome history of shielding their pedophile priests from the law.

FROM THE AP: The nun no longer goes to confession regularly, after an Italian priest forced himself on her while she was at her most vulnerable: recounting her sins to him in a university classroom nearly 20 years ago. At the time, the sister only told her provincial superior and her spiritual director, silenced by the Catholic Church’s culture of secrecy, her vows of obedience and her own fear, repulsion and shame.

“It opened a great wound inside of me,” she told the Associated Press. “I pretended it didn’t happen.”

After decades of silence, the nun is one of a handful worldwide to come forward recently on an issue that the Catholic Church has yet to come to terms with: The sexual abuse of religious sisters by priests and bishops. An AP examination has found that cases have emerged in Europe, Africa, South America and Asia, demonstrating that the problem is global and pervasive, thanks to the universal tradition of sisters’ second-class status in the Catholic Church and their ingrained subservience to the men who run it.

Nuns are now finding their voices, buoyed by the #MeToo movement and the growing recognition that adults can be victims of sexual abuse when there is an imbalance of power in a relationship. The sisters are going public in part because of years of inaction by church leaders, even after major studies on the problem in Africa were reported to the Vatican in the 1990s.

The issue has flared in the wake of scandals over the sexual abuse of children, and recently of adults, including revelations that one of the most prominent American cardinals, Theodore McCarrick, sexually abused and harassed his seminarians. READ MORE

FROM REUTERS: Pope Francis on Saturday accepted the resignation as a cardinal of Theodore McCarrick, the former archbishop of Washington, D.C. and one of the U.S. Catholic Church’s most prominent figures, who has been at the center of allegations of sex abuse with minors and young seminarians. McCarrick was the first cardinal to lose his red hat in living memory. The scandal surrounding him has stunned the American Church because he was a widely respected leader for decades and was a confidant of popes and presidents. “Pope Francis accepted his resignation from the cardinalate and has ordered his suspension from the exercise of any public ministry, together with the obligation to remain in a house yet to be indicated to him, for a life of prayer and penance until the accusations made against him are examined in a regular canonical trial,” a statement said.

In 2025, We Are Expanding The Bibles Behind Bars Outreach To Include 3 Books Geared Toward Assisting The Chaplains In Their Daily Ministry With The Inmates

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Bibles Behind Bars is expanding our gospel literature lineup to include “CPR The Biblical Guide To Soul Winning”, “What Must I Do To Be Saved?” and “Justified Outlaw”

This is the third year of the Bibles Behind Bars program, and as it grows it’s also maturing as we respond to the needs of the chaplains, pastors and personal workers who write to us asking for Bibles. In 2024, with the Bibles we starting sending copies of “What Must I Do To Be Saved” with other gospel literature, and the chaplains were very happy to receive them. Then in November, the LORD gave us an opportunity to rebuild the entire inmate library at the Jefferson County Jail in Wisconsin. Now here in the opening month of 2025, the LORD is expanding our prison outreach yet again. Praise the LORD!!

So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.” Nehemiah 8:8 (KJB)

Prison ministry is hard work, and the people that God calls to that field labour very intently and intensely. Yes, the inmates need a King James Bible, that’s first and foremost, but in addition to that, as they get saved and grow, they need other literature to assist them in that process. How great would it be if the chaplains had access to excellent books like “CPR The Biblical Guide To Soul Winning”, and “What Must I Do To Be Saved?” Talk about a one-two punch! Rounding that out, and geared directly to the inmates, Roy Bell’s book “Justified Outlaw”, something that they can not only relate to, but hopefully see as a positive and motivational force for their spiritual growth.

One our Tuesday night Bible study program last night, I asked the people listening live in the chat room if they thought that this was something we should do, and the response was immediate and certain. Going forward with each new request for Bibles, we will also be sending copies of all three of these books. The chaplains who receive them can prayerfully decide how and when to distribute them to the inmates. At the moment, we are still raising funds to send Bibles to the Santa Rosa Correctional Institution, Northwest Florida Reception Center Main Unit, the Baker Re-Entry and Work Camp, and to the main Texas prison system under Chaplain CF Hazlewood.

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to inmates in jails and prisons from Florida to Alaska, and every state in between. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!

Donald Trump Makes The Announcement Of Ceasefire In Gaza And That The Hostages Will Be Released ‘Shortly’, Says His Election Is The Reason Behind It

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

US President-elect Donald Trump announced on Wednesday night that a hostage-ceasefire deal had been met and the hostages would be ‘released shortly,’ in a post on Truth Social.

You got to hand it to him, Donald Trump just may be the greatest showman of our time, and I mean that sincerely. His ability to capture attention and dominate the headlines has no equal in the political world. It’s even more impressive when you realize that he does that with the combined might of the Democrats and the news media who conspire together on an hourly basis to bring him down. But to what purpose does Trump return to the White House when viewed in the light of the prophet Daniel?

“And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:” Daniel 2:21 (KJB)

We rejoice with the hostages families at the prospect that at least some of them will be return home alive to their loved ones, and we grieve for those who are never coming back. Yes, I do believe that Hamas chose 2023 to attack Israel and the Jews because they knew that Biden and the Democrats are sketchy in their support of the Jewish state. And yes, I believe that like Reagan in 1980 who warned the Iranians that those hostages better be released before he was sworn in, that the specter of a pro-Israel incoming Trump administration sped things along. But if you believe your Bible, Israel is still headed to a time of unprecedented (fake) peace through the Abraham Accords, a trap if there ever was one, also from Trump, that just may wind up being the covenant that gets confirmed in Daniel 9:27 under Antichrist. The news may change on an hourly basis, but the Bible does not. That’s the memo.

Israel, Hamas agree to Gaza deal, Trump says hostages to be ‘released shortly’

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: In President-elect Donald Trump’s second post on his platform Truth Social after Israeli and Hamas officials confirmed the ceasefire deal, he boasted the “epic” agreement could have only happened as a result of his historic victory in November as it “signaled to the entire World that my Administration would seek Peace and negotiate deals to ensure the safety of all Americans, and our Allies.”

Trump said he’s thrilled American and Israeli hostages will return to be united with their families and loved ones. With the deal in place, Trump said his national security team through the efforts of Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff “will continue to work closely with Israel and our Allies to make sure Gaza NEVER again becomes a terrorist safe haven.”

“We will continue promoting PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH throughout the region, as we build upon the momentum of this ceasefire to further expand the Historic Abraham Accords,” Trump wrote. “This is only the beginning of great things to come for America, and indeed, the World!”

Trump said his team “achieved so much” without even being in the White House.

He continued, “just imagine all of the wonderful things that will happen when I return to the White House, and my Administration is fully confirmed, so they can secure more Victories for the United States!” READ MORE

President-elect Donald Trump is praising the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and hostage release deal, taking partial credit for the successful negotiation brokered by Qatar, Egypt and the U.S. CBS News’ Nancy Cordes reports.

US Secret Service Issues Order To Flood The Streets Of Washington DC With Over 8,000 Troops As Government Prepares For ‘Peaceful Transition’ Of Power

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Nearly 8,000 National Guard troops have been requested by the U.S. Secret Service to provide support for the presidential inauguration Jan. 20, the Pentagon said.

We are officially 6 days away from Donald Trump being sworn in as the 47th president of the United States, 5 days away from his (in my opinion) premature victory party on the 19th, and doesn’t it feel like the ‘other shoe’ is getting ready to drop? What do they have planned, I wonder? Seeing how explosive the start of 2025 has been already, it’s good to be something pretty wild.

“And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:” Daniel 2:21 (KJB)

One thing’s for sure, the opposing sides that populate Washington are going to clash, and clash hard, with the incoming Trump administration. If you’ve been paying attention over the past 15 years or so, the military is being used as a presence on the streets more and more. It would not surprise me in the least if, under a Trump presidency, we finally see a full-time military presence in downtown DC. All for our own ‘peace and protection’, I’m sure. Two things you learn about the Deep State, they love Predictive Programming and they love irony. Donald Trump was an anti-vaxxer before becoming president in 2016, and yet was the mastermind behind Operation: Warp Speed in 2020. Yep, they love that stuff. Look for troops on the streets, they’re coming.

Nearly 8,000 National Guard troops requested to support presidential inauguration

FROM STARS AND STRIPES: The request for 7,800 troops, said Sabrina Singh, deputy spokeswoman for the Defense Department, is expected to be approved by the Pentagon in the coming days. The Secret Service is the lead agency for the inauguration. Once approved, the troops will join 500 National Guards troops already approved to support security operations during the counting and certification of electoral votes on Monday.

Layers of tall black fencing flank the U.S. Capitol complex in a stark reminder of what happened four years ago, when thousands of supporters of President-elect Donald Trump rioted, battled police and stormed the building. As Trump prepares to return to office, no violence, protests or procedural objections in Congress are expected this time.

The 2025 presidential inauguration was designated a “national special security event” by the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. When an event is designated as a special security event, the federal government, as well as state and local partners, can funnel significant resources to ensure a robust security plan is in place, said Nate Herring, a spokesperson for the Secret Service. He declined to provide specifics, citing operational security reasons.

In an opinion piece published Sunday in The Washington Post, President Joe Biden decried the 2021 attempt to overrun the Capitol to block certification of the 2020 election — seeking to contrast that day’s chaos with what Biden promises will be an orderly transition returning Trump to power for a second term.

“We should be proud that our democracy withstood this assault,” Biden wrote. “And we should be glad we will not see such a shameful attack again this year.” READ MORE

The U.S. Capitol will be on lockdown during inauguration day. More than 30 miles of anti-scale fencing has been erected at key locations in Washington, D.C. Thousands of National Guard troops will be on duty to support the Secret Service.
