Pope Francis compares abortion to “hiring a hitman” and he says it can never be condoned


Pope Francis compares abortion to “hiring a hitman” and he says it can never be condoned

By Julio Severo
Pope Francis has compared abortion to “hiring a hitman” during a pro-life conference at the Vatican.
“Abortion can never be condoned, even when the unborn baby is gravely sick or malformed,” Pope Francis said in the pro-life conference.
He urged doctors to support families to carry all pregnancies to term.
Francis claimed his opposition to abortion was not for religious issues, but for human reasons.
He said: “Is it licit to throw away a life to resolve a problem? Is it licit to hire a hitman to resolve a problem?”
Francis disagreed with abortions done on grounds of prenatal testing which reveals problems with the unborn baby.
He said a human being is “never incompatible with life.”
Francis said that unborn babies should be looked after for as long as possible.
“Taking care of these children helps parents to grieve and not only think of it as a loss, but as a step on a path taken together,” Francis said.
The conference was organized by the Dicastery for Laity, Family and Life, and the “Heart in a Drop” Foundation, which works to welcome “children born in conditions of extreme fragility.”
He told the crowd every child is “a gift that changes the history of a family… and this child needs to be welcomed, loved and cared for.”
He said often the “mere suspicion of disease can change the experience of pregnancy,” and even risk “throwing women and couples” into a “deep despair.”
But “the evolution of every disease is always subjective and often not even doctors know how it will manifest itself in the individual,” said the Pope.
Francis has spoken out strongly against abortion. In June 2018 he likened abortion to Nazi eugenics — saying parents should accept the children God gives them.
At a meeting of an Italian pro-family association he told those gathered that as a child he was horrified to hear stories from his teacher about children “thrown from the mountain” if they were born with malformations.
“Today we do the same thing,” he said. “Last century, the whole world was scandalized by what the Nazis did to purify the race. Today, we do the same thing but with white gloves.”
In spite of the pope’s pro-life stances, there is a fascist esoteric movement led by Steve Bannon seeking to undermine him.

Brazil’s supreme court votes to make “homophobia” a crime like racism


Brazil’s supreme court votes to make “homophobia” a crime like racism

By Julio Severo
A majority in Brazil’s supreme court has voted to make “homophobia” and “transphobia” crimes like racism.
Brazil’s supreme court voting to make “homophobia” a crime
Six of the Supreme Federal Tribunal’s 11 judges have voted in favor of the criminalization. The five other judges will vote in a court session on June 5, but the result will not be modified. The criminalization will only take effect after all the justices have voted. So after June 5 “homophobia” will be officially a crime in Brazil.
Racism was made a crime in Brazil in 1989 with prison sentences of up to five years. The court’s judges ruled that “homophobia” should be framed within the racism law.
“Racism is a crime against flesh and blood, whether it is a member of the LGBT community, a Jew or an Afro-descendant,” justice Luiz Fux said Thursday.
Incredibly, the court’s judges said the ruling is necessary because homosexuals are legally unprotected.
Homosexual “marriage” was legalized in Brazil in 2013. Even with such privilege, homosexualists and their propaganda machine in the Brazilian mainstream media keep preaching that homosexuals are victims of violence in Brazil and need special protection and more and more privileges.
When reporting on Brazil’s supreme court criminalizing “homophobia,” the Associated Press (AP) said that Brazil “is still a dangerous country for members of the LGBT community and has a large evangelical movement often critical of gay rights.”
So AP suggested that there is a link between “danger for homosexuals” and “evangelical criticism of the homosexual agenda.”
Eventually, the criminalization of “homophobia” treats as “crime” any critical view of homosexual acts and propaganda, because if it is a racial crime to criticize others because of their skin color, why would not be a “homophobic” crime to criticize homosexual behaviors?
The AP report added,
“According to the rights group the Grupo Gay da Bahia, 420 LGBT people were killed across Brazil in 2018, while at least 141 have been killed so far this year.”
For AP, less than 500 deaths a year is enough reason to criminalize “homophobia.”
Now, because AP did its report without doing its homework, let us show the facts on violence in Brazil. Over 60,000 Brazilians are murdered a year in Brazil. Homosexuals are less than 1 percent of the massive count of violence. How then should they get more privileges if the general population in Brazil suffers an explosive rate of murders?
The main cause of murders of homosexuals in Brazil is the irrational passion of a lover of the victim. Murdered homosexuals are mostly transvestites, according to Oswaldo Braga, president of the Gay Movement of Minas, who declared, “They are homosexuals that are more involved in criminality, as prostitution and drug trafficking, being more exposed to violence.” (Tribuna de Minas, 09/03/2007, page 3.)
Luiz Mott, the founder of the Grupo Gay da Bahia (Gay Group of Bahia) mentioned by AP, does not complain of drug traffickers killing homosexuasl. In 2008, as reported by LifeSiteNews, he posted on the Internet the home addresses of Christian pro-family leaders in Brazil. He included my name too. Why didn’t he post the home addresses of drug traffickers? If he had done it, he would be dead by now.
If I had posted on the Internet his home address, he would accuse me of threatening him and I would be jailed. Why isn’t he jailed?
In 2007 the Brazilian Association of Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, Transvestites and Transsexuals (ABGLT) had lodged a criminal complaint to federal prosecutors against me for “homophobia.”
The complaint was made because regularly I denounce the homosexual behavior as immoral, and because I oppose the goals of the homosexual movement. I had to leave Brazil in 2009 when federal prosecutors were advancing this complain.
Mott rejoiced then at the news. “We are all proud of the ABGLT for filing charges against our archenemy, Julio Severo,” he was quoted as saying in a Yahoo homosexual email list. “I hope that he is condemned to perpetual imprisonment in Sodom and Gomorrah.”
So, the main source about violence against homosexuals for the AP report is a homosexual group founded by a homosexualist who does not target drug traffickers who actually kill homosexuals. He targets Christians just like me. Christians who have never killed or even harmed homosexuals. Christians whose only “crime” is to believe and preach God’s Word, where God says that the homosexual sin is an abomination.
How can I doubt that Brazil’s supreme court is not criminalizing good Christians?

U.S. Evangelical Church Cancels Israel Event After Israeli Diplomats Join Local Gay Pride Parade


U.S. Evangelical Church Cancels Israel Event After Israeli Diplomats Join Local Gay Pride Parade

By Julio Severo
An evangelical church in Miami canceled an event honoring Israel after the local Israeli consul general participated in a parade in support of the homosexual agenda.
Consul General Lior Hayat and other staff from Israel’s diplomatic mission carried Israeli flags and rainbow flags bearing a Star of David at the gay pride parade in Miami in April. They posted photos of their participation in the gay parade on the diplomatic mission’s Twitter.
Pastor Alberto Delgado, who had scheduled at his Alpha and Omega Church in Miami an event honoring Israel with the participation of Israeli diplomats, later canceled the event in May.
The pastor “was worried that the Israeli participation in the pride parade will hurt the support for Israel within his community (especially in light of how close the two events were to each other).”
“The consul general met with the pastor and clarified that the consulate represents all Israeli citizens and works with different constituencies,” said the Israeli newspaper The Jerusalem Post.
It is a big challenge for U.S. evangelicals, who fight abortion and the homosexual agenda in the U.S., to give full support to the Israeli government, because while in the U.S. the fight “abortion versus life” and “gay agenda versus family values” is often a fight “left versus right,” in Israel the reality is different.
Even though Israelis left-wingers support significantly more abortion and the gay agenda, Israeli right-wingers also support these evils. In fact, the right-wing administration of Benjamin Netanyahu has been advancing abortion and the gay agenda. So it is no wonder that Israeli diplomats of a right-wing administration decided to participate in a gay parade in the U.S. This participation, which is strange for many U.S. conservative Christians, is in no way strange for Israeli right-wingers.
Christian leaders who hold events in their churches to honor Israel should also hold events to pray for Israel and address sins that endanger Israel. Just as all the other sinners, Israelis also need the Jew Jesus and His salvation. Just as the Old Testament prophets, who loved Israel, spoke against Israel’s sins, today the Christian Church that loves Israel should speak against abortion and the gay agenda embraced by left-wing and right-wing Israelis.

Washington Schools and Teachers Told to Honor the Islamic Holiday of Ramadan


Washington Schools and Teachers Told to Honor the Islamic Holiday of Ramadan


By Julio Severo
Teachers and schools in Seattle, Washington, have been told to honor the Islamic holiday of Ramadan. The instruction came directly from Superintendent Judy Martinson, who in March received a letter from the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), an Islamic organization involved in a major terrorist case years ago.
The letter, entitled “Upcoming Islamic Holidays and Religious Accommodations,” tells schools and teachers to honor Ramadan, which is an Islamic religious holiday, for Muslim students.
Superintendent Martinson enacted the letter as official policy and sent it to all school principals, who in turn sent it to all teachers.
To help Muslim students celebrate Ramadan, the CAIR letter pressures American schools to use Islamic salutations for Muslim students, such as “Ramadan Mubarak!” or “Ramadan Kareem.”
The letter also instructs teachers to monitor the fasting of Islamic students and not to schedule any tests during Islamic holidays.
A teacher who felt constrained by such Islamic pressures at her classroom made contact with the Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund (FCDF), which sent a letter to schools in Seattle to immediately stop privileging Islamic holidays.
In response, Ibrahim Hooper, communications director for CAIR, threatened to take punitive legal action, saying the FCDF letter was a “sign of the growing Islamophobia” in the United States.
There will now be a major struggle between Muslim activists who seek to impose their religion on American schools and teachers who feel constrained by such impositions.
Although the United States is the largest Protestant nation in the world, in the early 1960s prayer and Bible reading were banned by the Supreme Court, which ruled that such Christian practices were unconstitutional in schools after a Marxist mother complained that her son was being exposed to prayers and Bible reading at school.
Years later, the son of the Marxist converted to Jesus Christ. You can read his story in the exclusive interview he gave me in 2015 at this link: Exclusive Interview with William J. Murray, Defender of Persecuted Christians. But the ban continues.
Oddly enough, religious freedom in the U.S. is basically summed up to level all religions, so if Protestantism, which was the religion of the Founding Fathers of the United States and is the predominant religion in the United States today, takes up space, all other religions, including Satanism and Islam, are entitled to equal space.
The solution often found is to nullify the freedom of Protestantism so that no religion may takes up space. Even so, activists use the strategy of introducing Islamism and Satanism as a minority culture.
Of course, the left has great guilt in weakening the social influence of Protestantism and strengthening Islam. But the right has also contributed. Since the Islamic attack on the United States on September 11, 2001, right-wing President George W. Bush began calling Islam a “religion of peace.” Coming from the left, it is no surprise. But it was a disappointment the greatest right-wing leader in that time making such misleading propaganda of Islam. Result? After Bush’s special treatment for Islam, mosques experienced an explosive growth in the United States.
It is then difficult for Americans to forbid Islamic indoctrination in American schools, where evangelical prayers and Bible reading have been banned for decades, when left-wing presidents such as Obama and right-wing presidents like Bush have already enshrined Islam as a “religion of peace.”
It is hard to forbid American schools to honor Ramadan when Obama honored Ramadan at the White House and now right-wing President Donald Trump continues to honor Ramadan at the White House.

“God literally led us to this place”: Hero pastor tells how divine intervention helped him rescue eight-year-old girl who was kidnapped by predator


“God literally led us to this place”: Hero pastor tells how divine intervention helped him rescue eight-year-old girl who was kidnapped by predator

By Julio Severo
A hero pastor said divine intervention led him to discover the place where an abducted girl was being held captive in Fort Worth.
Pastor Jeff King
Jeff King, Pastor at Bear Creek Bible Church in Keller, helped track down 8-year-old Salem Sabatka after she was snatched while out walking with her mom in Fort Worth on Saturday.
A man, named as Michael Webb, 51, reportedly grabbed Salem and pushed her into his car at around 6.30pm.
Heart-wrenching surveillance video showed Salem’s mother jumping into the vehicle and desperately trying to save her daughter before the kidnapper shoved her out and drove off.

The car sped off and the mother immediately dialed 911, screaming: “Help me please, someone call the police, my daughter just got kidnapped.” Her call sparked a massive police operation to try and find the little girl.
After King, a childhood friend of Salem’s parents, heard about the shocking incident he and a friend started scouring the streets of Fort Worth searching for the suspect’s car.
“I was sitting at home with my wife when a friend texted and said that our friends’ daughter had been kidnapped. All I could think is what are we going to do to help?” King told NBC DFW.
He and the friend searched until after midnight when they got a tip from someone that they should check out a hotel in Forest Hill.
After searching the car park at the tip-off location they found no sign of the suspect’s car.
But, purely by chance, the pair then pulled into another hotel nearby, the Wood Springs Suites, and saw a car fitting the description.
“God literally led us to this place. It was not on my itinerary, I was not trying to go there, we just drove by. It was divine intervention, 100 per cent,” he said.
King called police and it was just a matter of time before they figured out Salem was inside of the hotel and they were able to rescue her.
Two hours earlier, police had already searched the motel room of the man suspected of kidnapping the girl but didn’t see the child there. Yet, after the pastor called the police, they found her in the same room after breaching the door.
“It was a crazy moment. I asked police, ‘Did I hear that right? Did they find her? Is she safe?’” he said. “Then finally one officer said, ‘Yes sir, they have her.’”
Police allowed King to be the one to call Salem’s parents and tell them the little girl had been found alive.
“I feel like God allowed me to be a tool,” the pastor said.
On Facebook, Bear Creek Bible Church celebrated the little girl’s rescue, writing: “The Lord is so faithful!”
Following the little girl’s rescue, King, who local media dubbed a hero, led a prayer at a press conference in her neighborhood.
“Thank you, Father, that she’s alive and she’s with us still and that she has a wonderful life to live ahead of her, Father,” he prayed. “I can’t thank You enough for the redemption and grace You show us all the time. I can’t thank You enough for the death of Your son on the cross as a substitutionary atonement in our place. Father, I can’t thank You enough for last night and being able to locate that vehicle. Thank you, Father, for guiding us every step of the way.”
Michael Webb has been arrested and booked on a charge of aggravated kidnapping. He a lengthy criminal history — including being charged with aggravated and sexual assault in April 2018.

Trump Supports Gay “Marriage” While His Conservative Christian Supporters Remain Silent


Trump Supports Gay “Marriage” While His Conservative Christian Supporters Remain Silent

By Julio Severo
President Donald Trump has repeatedly mocked South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, for being a Democrat seeking the Democratic nomination for the 2020 presidential election.
Pete Buttigieg, in his presidential campaign, kissing his homosexual husband Chasten
But Trump does not insult Buttigieg for his homosexuality and defense of homosexuality. Instead, he praised Buttigieg for campaigning with his homosexual husband, Chasten.
“I think it’s good,” Trump said.
During an interview with Trump, Fox News host Steve Hilton commented how he thinks it’s great to see Buttigieg on stage with his gay husband as the couple normalizes homosexual marriage amidst the media spotlight of a presidential campaign where the 2020 Democratic White House hopeful is openly homosexual, declares that he is a Christians and unabashedly shows his homosexual partner.
“I think it’s absolutely fine,” Trump replied. “I do.”
Hilton noted that it's “a sign of great progress in the country,” to which Trump interrupted and said “I think it’s great.”
About Buttigieg’s open homosexuality in a political campaign, Barack Hussein Obama in his presidential days would also have offered the same praise. In reaction, there would have been an inevitable outcry from conservative groups and leaders. In fact, they spent all the Obama administration fighting socialist efforts to advance gay “marriage,” which was legalized in 2015.
Yet, after Trump’s victory, U.S. conservatives went silent while Trump showed no support of conservative efforts to revert Obama’s efforts to advance gay “marriage.”
Perhaps Trump interpreted that such silence is a green light for him to make some praise of gay “marriage,” and he did just it regarding Buttigieg and his homosexual partner by saying that “it’s absolutely fine” to want to be the U.S. president as a homosexual actively involved in homosexual perversions.
So doesn’t Trump see any problem if an actively homosexual man becomes the president of the United States? God sees.
Does Trump see problems in the Democratic Party but no problem in homosexuality? What is the point to criticize the Democratic Party if the critic sees no problem in homosexuality?
If Trump were Obama, I am sure that there would be a massive outcry. But there has been no such reaction. No major Christian group and leader is condemning Trump’s stance praising gay “marriage.”
Conservatives are sparing Trump for stances they would never spare and never spared in Obama. Obama would never have gone unpunished for praising gay “marriage,” because he was a left-winger. Trump has gone unpunished for the same sin, because he is a right-winger.
So to praise sins in America, and be praised by conservatives, a president needs a right-wing, not left-wing, card.
Trump is conquering for the left and the Democratic Party a victory Obama never was able to achieve: To advance the normalization of fake marriage of homosexuals among conservatives. This is a big victory, but not for the well-being of America.
If conservative Christians only fight against social sins when a left-winger is in the White House, why elect right-wingers who support the same sins? If conservatives, especially evangelicals, voted for Trump to represent them at the White House, is it too much to ask him to condemn gay “marriage”?
Is it too much for conservatives who condemned Obama for supporting gay “marriage” to ask Trump not to imitate Obama?
Homosexuality is, without the social status of marriage, already an abomination, as revealed by God in the Bible. The Jewish tradition, according to Scott Lively in his book “The Pink Swastika,” states that homosexual “marriage” is the “final insult” to God.
The left has insulted God by advancing homosexual “marriage.”
Obama insulted God by advancing homosexual “marriage.”
The U.S. Supreme Court has insulted God by legalizing homosexual “marriage.”
And now Trump has insulted God by praising Buttigieg in his immoral homosexual lifestyle with his homosexual partner.
There can be hope for a nation when a left-wing president praises homosexual insults to God but there is conservative resistance.
Yet, how can there be hope when a president representing conservatives also praises homosexual insults to God?
