This short video is an excerpt from a longer presentation which looks at recent developments in Catholic education, particularly in Ireland. It shows that Catholics do not need to fear Science, but we should also be actively debunking unscientific theories that are being routinely presented as factual and scientific.

In 2005, our family began a new Catholic Family tradition where, after the midnight Christmas Mass, we processed the infant Jesus to the crib in our home. You can read about how it began here – https://www.lumenfidei.ie/catholic-family-christmas-traditions/
We have done this every year since. Recently I came across a video recording of the original procession in 2005 and we also recorded it in 2021. It is interesting to see how the family has grown over those sixteen years.

Dr Stanley Plotkin M.D., is the man who is credited with developing the Rubella vaccine in America which is used worldwide. He gave a legal deposition in January 2018, which consists of a nine-hour video recording of his testimony under oath for the trial between Lori Matheson, (formerly known as Lori Ann Schmitt), and her husband Michael Schmitt. The case was between a couple who were separated and divorced. The mother, Lori, did not want her two-year-old daughter vaccinated and her husband Michael did.
The case came to trial because the parents could not agree. One of the mother’s objections was on account of the use of foetal material in the vaccines. Mr Siri, the attorney for Lori Matheson, questioned Dr St

This sermon was recorded on Saturday 19th September. Jesus tells the parable of the workers in the vineyard. All are paid the same amount regardless of how long they have worked. Those who have worked longest complain even though they had agreed their terms. Father O’Brien explains that Jesus often overturns the world’s principles to lead us to higher spiritual principles. In God’s Kingdom it is the last, those least favoured in worldly terms, who will be first.

BLM is currently more popular than both the Republican and Democrat Party in America! So who is paying for and stoking the race war? It is clear to even the most cucked or uninterested observer, that something is going on. Over the last few years “anti-racism” has become so militant and aggressive, that it is now the epitome of structural and systemic racism itself! Yet still it is pushed further and further, and now CAIR comes out openly admitting they have hijacked the Black Lives Matter movement! We already know Muslim Brotherhood in Europe has been heavily funding the “anti-racism” movement and antifa.

THE ENEMY OF MY ENEMY IS MY FRIEND: The fact that this well known strategy is being employed by so called “centrist” governments, exposes their pedigree. They are of the Deep State – the globalist Liberal World Order who are so well experienced in playing the Dialectic (playing one side against the other). Following the money, we realise the one undeniable fact, which no one can dispute, is that you could count the number of “right wing”, “far right” or “patriotic” NGOs on your one hand. However there are so many Far Left Wing NGOs, all closely aligned with Left Wing parties, it borders on the ridiculous. In fact there are more “anti-racism” NGOs in Ireland than there are actual cases of racism! Even the United Nations has called Ireland out for this! In the UK we have the absurd situation where a far left NGO (HNH) is the official adviser to the Home Office!
While a lot of this left wing, migrant & Islamic funding comes from globalist Oligarchs like Ge

Iran’s General Qassem Soeleimani was not just another Iranian general. He was the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds (or Jerusalem) Force. The IRGC answers only to Iran’s Supreme Islamic leader Ali Khameini, who is a cleric. Iran is a theocracy meaning rule by Islamic clerics or Mullahs. Iran underwent a bloody coup in 1972 during the Islamic Revolution and has been subject to Islamic Totalitarianism in the form of Sharia Law ever since.
Imagine if the Church of England or the Catholic Church had its own army and claimed that they can speak directly for God, as Iran’s Islamic clerics and IRGC do.
The second big irony is that Iran represents one branch of Islam called Shia Islam. There was a great schism in the Muslim faith centuries ago after the death of the prophet Mohammed, and both branches of Islam, Sunni and Shia, claimed that they correctly interpret the faith and have been at war with each other ever since, which is why the Middle East has been at co

Roar Flottum was preaching and praying for the sick in Trondheim when he was approached by four Muslim men. According to Flottum, the group asked him to come pray for a friend who had injured his foot. Instead, they led him to a secluded backyard and then pushed him down a cellar staircase. After beating and robbing him, the group threatened to kill the Christian street preacher if he did not convert to Islam.
“They wanted me to say a few words in Arabic,” he told local media in an interview. “I was scared and actually thought they were going to
