Former Curia Cardinal Marc Ouellet has won his defamation lawsuit against Paméla Groleau. She had accused him of sexual assault. Quebec Superior Court Judge Martin Castonguay found her allegations unfounded and ordered her to pay Ouellet C$100,000 (€62,000) in damages. Judge Rejects Accuser’s Account Paméla Groleau, a former pastoral worker, accused the former archbishop of Quebec of inappropriate touching during several encounters between 2008 and 2010. Her main allegation concerned a priestly ordination in 2010, where she claimed Ouellet ran a hand down her back and touched the upper part of her buttocks. Ouellet denied the allegation. At trial, Groleau acknowledged that this was the only incident she considered sexual assault. The judge found her account “neither credible nor reliable,” pointing to changes and inconsistencies in her testimony. Castonguay also noted that Ouellet was holding his episcopal crozier when the alleged contact was said to have occurred. Recklessness Amounting …More
My dad checked my car every single time he came to visit. I used to find it annoying. Until the first time I pulled away from my parents’ house and realized he wasn’t there anymore. I was thirty-four. I was married. I had two kids of my own. And every time we visited my parents, Dad still walked outside before we left. “Your tires look a little low.” “You’re almost out of windshield washer fluid.” “When was the last time you changed the oil?” I used to roll my eyes. “Dad, I’m an adult.” “I know,” he’d say. And then he’d check anyway. One Sunday, I was getting the kids into the car when it started raining. Dad came outside holding a box of windshield wipers. “Yours are terrible.” I laughed. “They’re fine.” “They are not fine.” And right there in the rain, he started replacing them. I sat inside the car while he worked. I remember feeling impatient. The kids were tired. We had a two-hour drive ahead of us, and I just wanted to get home. When he finished, he tapped twice on my window. “…More

The law was promulgated on August 18.

Some evangelical groups in India’s western state of Maharashtra are asking Christians to sign declarations confirming that they attend prayer meetings voluntarily. Maharashtra’s Freedom of Religion Law, which targets “forced religious conversions,” took effect on August 28. It prohibits conversions involving force, fraud, coercion, undue influence or inducement. Christian groups fear its broad provisions could be applied to ordinary religious or charitable activities. The forms, reported in Mumbai and neighbouring districts, state that Christians attend of their own choice, without pressure, inducement or threats. Some churches also request a photograph and an Aadhaar or PAN identification number. The declarations are not required by the government. The move follows several disruptions of Christian gatherings. The Indian Express reported nine police cases linked to five incidents between April and July. Christian leaders say the forms were introduced as protection against allegations …More
New crusade of the Vatican - the doctrine of lies: “Let us not retreat into our own convictions and religious certainties. This may ask us to follow unfamiliar paths and to make choices different from those we had imagined”. 1) Matthew 24:24; They will deceive, if posible, even the choosen. 2) There is no salvation in anyone else: a) John 14: 6; Jesus said to him, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. b) Acts 4:12; There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” c) 1 Timothy 2:5; There is one God and one Mediator between God and mankind, Christ Jesus. 3) Hebrews 10:28-29; If anyone violates the Law of Moses, he is put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severe a punishment do you think will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, treated as profane the Blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and insulted the Spirit of Grace? 4) Galatians …More

Jak o wiele surowszej kary, jak sądzicie, zasłuży ten, kto zdeptał Syna Bożego, uznał za bezczelną Krew Przymierza, która go uświęciła, i znieważył Ducha Łaski? 4) List do Galatów 1:8; Ale nawet gdybyśmy my sami lub anioł z nieba głosił ewangelię inną niż ta, którą wam głosiliśmy, niech będzie przeklęty!
