FALSE PROPHETS
Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.
Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.
-MATTHEW 7:15-23, Douay Rheims
For there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears: And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables.
But be thou vigilant...
-2 TIMOTHY 4:3-5, Douay Rheims

HOW IS YOUR FAMILY?...
Hopefully parents will never forget that their authority comes from God! And hopefully family life will be founded on this holy foundation! The whole society creaks and wobbles. Who will save it? The government? Politicians? Political parties? Social policies or reforms? What will save it? Rallies or strikes? Or perhaps speeches? None of this can save it.
The remedy is this: strengthen family life, renew it on Christian grounds.
We need a regeneration, but a spiritual regeneration, a moral regeneration. We need families, fathers, mothers, children, to faithfully observe the Decalogue. Families in whose sanctuary the Kingdom of God is respected. Families in which Christ is the law. Families that in the midst of this frozen world raise the Cross of Christ, and be raised by the Cross of Christ.

WHOEVER HAS GOD FOR THEIR FATHER MUST HAVE MARY FOR THEIR MOTHER
Just as in the natural life, a child must have a father and a mother, so in the supernatural life of grace a true child of the Church must have God for his Father and Mary for his mother. If he prides himself on having God for his Father but does not give to Mary the tender affection of a true child, he is an impostor and his father is the devil.

"CATHOLIC" CANDIDATE BIDEN CHOOSES RADICAL ABORTIONIST KAMALA HARRIS TO BE HIS "NUMBER TWO"
By Carlos Esteban
She is a staunch supporter of induced abortion in all cases and in all terms.
INFOVATICANA. “Catholic” candidate Joe Biden has already chosen who is going to accompany him the to the White House as his vice president: the Democrat, also a candidate for the nomination in the Democratic primaries, Kamala Harris, an unconditional ally of the abortion multinational, Planned Parenthood.
Biden often uses his status of practicing "Catholic" in his electoral campaigns, although he is an advocate of abortion, homosexual marriage and whatever the platform of the Democratic Party submits to him, which does not prevent many "Catholic" publications, drawing on the doctrine of the 'seamless robe' formulated by the late Cardinal Bernardin, to make an ill-concealed campaign for him.
It is very likely that it was the party that “suggested” Harris's presence and, on the other hand, that the figure of the vice president - a normally almost ornamental position - becomes essential, since she has all the ballots to 'inherit' the most powerful judiciary on the planet.
And that's the problem, because Harris is hostile to religious freedom and an abortion fanatic. While she was Attorney General of California, Harris came to defend Planned Parenthood with all her might when the abortion giant was accused - with video recordings that do not allow the slightest trace of doubt - of selling to laboratories at a very good price tissues of aborted fetuses. Instead of investigating Planned Parenthood for this outrageous trafficking, Harris announced that she would investigate those responsible for the recordings and, therefore, of the scandalous discovery, the journalists of the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), even ordering an immediate and exhaustive search of the home of CMP head David Daleiden, whilst accepting huge donations from Planned Parenthood for his Senate campaign.
A campaign, by the way, during which she boasted of forcing companies owned by religious people and pro-life centers to violate their consciences. What better partner for 'Catholic' Biden?

THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
“After we have poured forth prayers of supplication again and again to God, and have invoked the light of the Spirit of Truth, for the glory of Almighty God who has lavished his special affection upon the Virgin Mary, for the honor of her Son, the immortal King of the Ages and the Victor over sin and death, for the increase of the glory of that same august Mother, and for the joy and exultation of the entire Church; by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and by our own authority, we pronounce, declare, and define it to be a divinely revealed dogma: that the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory."
~Pope Pius XII under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and after consulting all the bishops of the Catholic Church, and listening to the sentiments of the faithful, on November 1, 1950, solemnly defined with his supreme apostolic authority, the dogma of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This was proclaimed in the Constitution "Munificentissimus Deus"

ROME CONDEMNS A MODERNIST FORMULA THAT INVALIDATES THE SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM
In an official statement, the Vatican has indicated that Baptism is not valid when these words are used with a modified formula invented by Modernists.
Vatican, 7.08.2020. - Changing the words of the formula for baptism render the sacrament invalid, said the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Specifically, a Baptism administered with the formula “We baptize you …” instead of “I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost” is not valid because it is the person of Christ through the minister who is acting, not the assembly.
The doctrinal congregation’s ruling was published yesterday as a brief response to questions regarding the validity of Baptisms using that modified formula.
The congregation was asked whether a Baptism was valid if it had been performed with a formula that seeks to express the “communitarian significance” and participation of the family and those present during the celebration.
INVALID BAPTISM
For example, it said there have been celebrations administered with the words:
“In the name of the father and of the mother, of the godfather and of the godmother, of the grandparents, of the family members, of the friends, in the name of the community we baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.”
A Baptism administered with this kind of modified formula is not valid, the Congregation said, and the Baptisms would have to be redone for those individuals who had been baptized with the improvised wording.
VALID BAPTISM
The correct formula in the Rite of the Sacrament of Baptism spoken by the bishop, priest or deacon is:
“I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.”
The doctrinal congregation said modifying “the form of the celebration of a sacrament does not constitute simply a liturgical abuse, like the transgression of a positive norm, but a ‘vulnus’ (wound) inflicted upon the ecclesial communion and the identifiability of Christ’s action, and in the most grave cases rendering invalid the sacrament itself".

AUGUST 6, 1875: MARTYRDOM OF GABRIEL GARCIA MORENO
Gabriel García Moreno (Guayaquil, December 24, 1821 - Quito, August 6, 1875) was an Ecuadorian statesman, lawyer, politician, journalist and writer, twice constitutional president of the Republic of Ecuador, Catholic and martyr.
On the First Friday of August 1875, while leaving the Cathedral of Quito, after spending a Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament, as the great lover of the Sacred Heart of Jesus he was, he was assassinated by the henchmen of the Masonic sect. He died exclaiming: "God does not die!"
He is known as the "Thomas More of America." Lawyer, politician, president of Ecuador from 1861 to 1865, and from 1869 until his assassination, Gabriel García Moreno forms part of the history of Latin America as the important statesman who had a providential task: to bring Ecuador out of chaos, to sign a Concordat with the Holy See and consecrate his country to the Heart of Jesus.
He always denounced, with great wisdom, the evil that since then already afflicted our nations:
"Gentlemen, the great crime of our days is the vile apostasy of all the nations of the earth. All governments have failed to recongnize the social rights of Jesus Christ and His Church.”

Joe Biden endorsed by pro-abortion NARAL
NARAL announces its support for Joe Biden without subterfuge to "protect and expand access to abortion and birth control." Joe Biden even criticized the Roe vs. Wade who legalized abortion in the United States, but today is a convinced pro-abortionist.
CNA Staff, Jul 29, 2020 / 12:30 pm MT (CNA).- The abortion-rights group NARAL has endorsed Joe Biden for president, just over a year after the group issued a scathing statement demanding he reverse his support for the Hyde Amendment.
“NARAL Pro-Choice America and our 2.5 million members are committed to powering Vice President Biden to victory this November and working with his administration to protect and expand access to abortion care and birth control,” said a statement from NARAL President Ilyse Hogue announcing the endorsement on July 27.
A Biden presidency would “stand for freedom over Donald Trump’s desire to control women,” and would “put a stop to Trump’s dangerous anti-choice political agenda when so much hangs in the balance,” she said.
As recently as 2003, while still serving in the U.S. Senate, Biden received a 36% rating from NARAL. In 2007, his last full year as a senator prior to being elected vice president, Biden received a 75% rating from NARAL, although he had received perfect 100% ratings in 2004, 2005, and 2006. Those years featured one roll-call vote on abortion legislation.
In June 2019, NARAL released a statement criticizing Biden for his support of the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits the use of taxpayer funding for abortions. Hogue said at that time that there was “no political or ideological excuse for Joe Biden’s support for the Hyde Amendment, which translates into discrimination against poor women and women of color plain and simple.”
Hogue added that Biden’s support of Hyde “further endangers women and families,” and that abortion protections are one of the Democratic Party’s “core values.”
Shortly after NARAL’s statement, Biden flip-flopped on his decades-long support for the Hyde Amendment and announced he was opposed to the policy.
NARAL’s endorsement of Biden is another milestone on the Democratic candidate’s journey to full support for abortion.
Shortly after the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, Biden stated that he believed the court went “too far” in its ruling making abortion legal.
In the following decades, Biden’s pro-life votes and opinions continued. He lent his name to the “Biden Amendment,” which banned the use of federal funds for biomedical research involving abortion or involuntary sterilization in 1981. In 1984, Biden voted for the Mexico City Policy, which bans the use of federal aid money to pay for abortions.
Biden repeatedly voted in favor of the Hyde Amendment, and in 1995 and 1997 he voted to ban the late-term abortion technique partial-birth abortion.
In 2003, he broke with the Democratic members of the Senate and voted again for a ban on partial-birth abortion, helping to pass that bill into law.
Three years later, in 2006, Biden told Texas Monthly in an interview that he did “not view abortion as a choice and a right,” and that he considered it to be “always a tragedy.”
Biden, in 2006, said that he believed that abortion should be both “rare and safe,” and suggested that “we should be focusing on how to limit the number of abortions.”
In 2012, when running for a second term as vice president, Biden stated during the vice presidential debate that his personal social doctrine has been “particularly informed” by his Catholic faith.
“With regard to abortion, I accept my Church's position that life begins at conception,” said Biden. “That's the Church's judgment. I accept it in my personal life. But I refuse to impose it on equally devout Christians and Muslims and Jews and--I just refuse to impose that on others.”
The 2016 Democratic Platform included, for the first time, a plank in its platform pledging to overturn the Hyde Amendment.
By 2019, Biden, defending himself against Sen. Kamala Harris during a Democratic presidential candidate debate, stated that he believed abortion to be a “constitutional right.”
“I've supported it and I will continue to support it and I will, in fact, move as president to see to it that the Congress legislates that that is the laws as well,” said Biden.
Biden, who has made his Catholicism a campaign issue, has clashed repeatedly with Church authorities over his growing support for abortion.
In October 2019, he was refused Communion at a Catholic church in South Carolina. The priest denied Biden Communion in accord with a 2004 diocesan policy that prohibits politicians who have been supportive of legal protection for abortion from receiving the Eucharist.
“Catholic public officials who consistently support abortion on demand are cooperating with evil in a public manner. By supporting pro-abortion legislation they participate in manifest grave sin, a condition which excludes them from admission to Holy Communion as long as they persist in the pro-abortion stance,” says a 2004 decree signed jointly by the bishops of Atlanta, Charleston, and Charlotte.
At the time Biden was denied Communion, his website stated that one of his priorities as president would be to “work to codify Roe v. Wade” into federal law, and that “his Justice Department will do everything in its power to stop the rash of state laws that so blatantly violate the constitutional right to an abortion,” including laws requiring waiting periods, ultrasounds, and parental notification of a minor’s abortion.
“Vice president Biden supports repealing the Hyde Amendment because healthcare is a right that should not be dependent on one’s zip code or income,” said his website.
More recently, Biden has vowed to overturn religious freedom protections and force the Little Sisters of the Poor and similar groups to provide contraception, sterilizations, and abortifacients through employee health coverage.
Earlier this month, following a Supreme Court ruling upholding an executive order by the Trump administration providing conscience protections for the so-called contraceptive mandate, Biden expressed his “disappointment” in the court’s decision and disagreement with the exemption for the sisters, adding that there is “a clear path to fixing it: electing a new president.”
