Another Priest Avoids Jail

Avoiding jail has become a specialty of the Roman Catholic priesthood. The latest example was seen in a Feb 23 issue of the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 'Post-Gazette,' in an article titled, "Priest Pleads Guilty in Death of Pitt Football Player."

'Father' Henry Krawczyk in June 2003 held a late night "cookout" for several University of Pittsburgh football players. At 2:30 AM one of the players, aged 19, was fooling around in the crawl space above the church. He broke through the ceiling and fell 20 feet to his death in the sanctuary. His blood alcohol level was 0.166. This is twice the Pennsylvania drunk driving limit of 0.08.

In court on Feb 22, 'Father' Krawczyk admitted to furnishing alcohol to several underage Pitt players. "He also pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment and was sentenced to seven years' probation."

Regarding the underage players the article said:

"All of them (were) drinking freely from Krawczyk's liquor supply."

Also – Krawczyk, like other priests in the past few years, appeared unremorseful at the sentencing. The judge in the case said:

"There's one thing missing. That is -- other than his plea of guilty -- Mr. Krawczyk's acceptance of responsibility for this incident...That saddens me, and it angers me."

The dead player's family attorney noticed it, too:

"I have never been more outraged at a guilty plea. I cannot believe Mr. Krawczyk gave such a cold-hearted homily."

May our Lord use this tragic episode to show Catholics of western Pennsylvania the base wickedness of the Roman priesthood. May many Catholics repent of the sin of Catholicism, forsake Rome forever, and receive Christ by faith ALONE for the full and free forgiveness of sins – no 'Father' Krawczyk, or any Catholic priest, needed!

Catholic Bishop - Defending America "Would Make Our Roads Less Safe"

The Roman Catholic Church is still fighting ANY efforts to control illegal immigration or terrorist activity. The latest example was seen in the swift Catholic reaction to the recently proposed "Real ID Act" in the US Congress.

The act's sponsor, Congressman James Sensenbrenner, said of this bill:

"American citizens have the right to know who is in their country, that people are who they say they are, and that the name on a driver's license is the holder's real name, not some alias."

"The 9/11 hijackers...chose our driver's licenses and state ID's as their forms of identification because these documents allowed them to blend in and not raise suspicion or concern. Mohammed Atta received a 6-month visa to stay in the U.S. yet received a Florida driver's license good for 6 years!"

"The Real ID Act will end this by establishing a uniform rule for all states that temporary driver's licenses for foreign visitors expire when their visa terms expire, and establishing tough rules for confirming identity before temporary driver's licenses are issued."

In a rapid response, chair of the US Bishops Committee on Migration, Bishop Gerald Barnes, promptly fired off a Feb 9 letter to all members of Congress titled, "Legislation Undermines Commitment To Refugees, Makes Nation Less Safe." 'His Excellency' wrote:

"Denying driver's licenses to all persons who are not lawfully present in the United States would make our roads less safe because the number of unlicensed, untrained, and uninsured drivers would increase dramatically and deny police officers the tools they need in investigating crime or assisting distressed persons in their communities."

Hmmmm......In the warped thinking of Catholicism, we should allow easy access to driver's licenses because clamping down on illegal aliens in the USA would lead to less safe roads! And, that giving illegals driver's licenses will help police in their fight against crime!!

Too bad the US Bishops haven't been so adamant about giving police officers "the tools they need in investigating" sex abuse crimes!

Rome continues to use illegal immigration as a great weapon to bring about the Mexicanization, and the resultant downfall, of the USA. Rome has always hated Protestant nations and worked for their destruction. As an added bonus, Osama Bin Laden and Moslem terrorists must be pleased with these Catholic efforts to make it easy for terrorists to operate within the United States.

Please pray daily that God protect the United States from – terrorists, illegal immigration, and the Roman Catholic Church.

Tabernacle Returned, But "Jesus" Not Inside

A Detroit, Michigan Catholic church's stolen tabernacle, minus the wafers, was returned by a "mystery man" on Jan 27. This was reported in a Jan 28 'Detroit Free Press' article titled, "Making Amends in Detroit: Treasured Tabernacle is Returned to Church."

On Jan 10, a tabernacle was stolen from the St Augustine-St Monica parish. It contained 100 wafers of the Roman "Jesus" (not to be confused with the REAL Jesus of the bible who does NOT turn Himself into wafers at the command of mere men.) The parish offered a $500 reward for the return of its god(s?) and tabernacle. This grew to $1750 when others pitched in to raise the initial low-ball church offer.

The article described a "mystery man" who returned the tabernacle and got the reward money:

"The mystery man told the priest he'd been approached by three people -- a woman and two men -- who claimed they were poor and had stolen the tabernacle thinking it was a valuable safe. They broke the lock expecting earthly treasure, but instead found a chalice-like vessel holding about 100 consecrated communion hosts...the mystery man said the trio ate the wafers because they were starving."

The "mystery man" then claimed, "He'd given the thieves money to get on their feet and leave town."

The relieved parish priest said, "We are grateful the hosts were consumed by people who were hungry, not for something wrong."

Comment – I don’t think 33 wafers will do much for a hungry person!

The tabernacle will now get the lock repaired, and be bolted into place.

In Genesis 31:30 Laban accused Jacob, "Yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?" I suppose Catholics today could ask the same question of the trio that stole the tabernacle with "Jesus" inside.

God give many Catholics the grace to see that their wafer-gods can be stolen. May they forever forsake the Roman Church, and receive by faith ALONE the real Jesus Christ who can never be stolen, who assured us in Matthew 28:20, "I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." Thank God for the blessed promises of Christ!
