The corruption of the profession of journalism is an example of institutional corruption in America. With their media attack on school kids, they have crossed the line from unprofessional to dangerous.

Just trying to make the atmosphere a little more light. Undoubtedly, there is a lot of wickedness in this world and sometimes we tend to feel overwhelmed. During times like these it is easy to forget that God is still in control and He is in control of who is in control (Romans 13). We are not at war with flesh and blood so these people are not your enemy (Ephesians 6:12). God is still in control, because of that we can have hope. When I see these people acting so viciously a don't feel hatred towards them, rather pity. Because they are being manipulated and used by the evil forces that are intent on destroying them.

I know I am not Catholic, but given this is the Catholic forum I would like to pay respect to your faith tradition by offering some Catholic prayers that you can use from catholic.org

Prayer for our country

Almighty God,
bless our nation
and make it true
to the ideas of freedom and justice
and brotherhood for all who make it great.

Guard us from war,
from fire and wind,
from compromise, fear, confusion.

Be close to our president and our statesmen;
give them vision and courage,
as they ponder decisions affecting peace
and the future of the world.

Make me more deeply aware of my heritage;
realizing not only my rights
but also my duties
and responsibilities as a citizen.

Make this great land
and all its people
know clearly Your will,
that they may fulfill
the destiny ordained for us
in the salvation of the nations,
and the restoring of all things in Christ.

Amen

Prayer to save America

O merciful God, we cry to Thee for pardon and for mercy.
We are an unbelieving and perverse generation.
We are disobedient, disloyal and ungrateful to Thee.
We have excluded Thee from our homes, our schools, our places of business.
We are no longer worthy to be called Thy children.
Merciful Father, spare America!
Forgive us!
Save us from the scourge we deserve.
Teach us Thy law, and move our wills to serve Thee today and everyday.
Merciful God, please spare America!
O Immaculate Heart of Mary,
Pray for us!

A Prayer to Defeat the Work of Satan
O Divine Eternal Father, in union with your Divine Son and the Holy Spirit, and through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg You to destroy the Power of your greatest enemy - the evil spirits.
Cast them into the deepest recesses of hell and chain them there forever! Take possession of your Kingdom which You have created and which is rightfully yours.
Heavenly Father, give us the reign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
I repeat this prayer out of pure love for You with every beat of my heart and with every breath I take.
Amen

Thank you.

Here is another one we have recently resumed saying at the end of our liturgy:

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle,
be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him we humbly pray;
and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.

That prayer was a regular one in every Catholic parish up to 1964, coincidentally about the time the homosexual abuse by priests really took off. We started using it just a few months ago, right after the last song. By the way, there is a longer version of it, and quite a story behind it. Wikipedia does an adequate job of explaining it here: Prayer to Saint Michael - Wikipedia

Clever to play the victim while getting right up to someone's face with a ceremonial drum drummed obnoxiously and video rolling all the way. Alinskyite clever.
It is a continual source of amazement how many abject liars we are up against, and how the media so very gladly accommodates them with its echo chamber on a continual basis. Break this trance, and a lot of people would be set free - and the nation with it.

That will only be done by the power of God, through much prayer and fasting. The March for Life is an affront to Satan and his minions and his cooperators. And there were many praying AND fasting on that day. But we will need more of that next year because more and more evil will be unleashed in the future. Will you pray and fast and maybe show up next year as a witness to life? And bring friends? And enroll more to pray and fast?

One of the side benefits of this guy beating his drum in a kid's face is that all over America parents will be more reluctant to allow their children to participate in such things. The drummer wanted to be hit or shoved or accosted, ready to catch it all on video. He didn't get what he really wanted. But now it looks like the March for Life will not be so safe anymore. Here is where we need not to shy away but to have training in non-violence before we go and prayerfully show up in greater numbers in response to the Lord. The liars gonna lie. But at some point the lies become so obvious that people cannot maintain belief in them.

I was at the Minnesota March for Life yesterday and happily it's too cold for the abortionist side to show up.

We do the St. Micheal prayer after every Mass in the CEC still and with all the craziness I am glad we still do.

Well it is official. The Marine Corp confirmed the following:
And he does not appear to be an elder in his tribe either. Just an older guy in his tribe.

Actually his unmasking is a bit sad. He pretended to be a tribal elder seeking peace and getting disrespected in the process. Turns out he was a provocateur who didn't get the reaction he wanted (presumably being punched or pushed or insulted or spat upon) from some kids who managed to more or less keep their cool despite his provocations.

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:3-5)
