After 1,500 years of triumphs and a growing number of failures, Islam is losing believers at an astonishing rate. Worse, the former Muslims do not declare their departure; they just don’t show up at mosques anymore and ignore all Islamic rituals at home. In public, they appear to be Muslim, but if anyone asks them about their religion, their answers will be evasive and non-committal. Over 1.4 million American Muslims have left. In Germany, over a hundred thousand local Muslims have left the faith in the last decade. In Britain, over 100,00 Muslims have been walking away from Islam each year.  In Iran, most of the Mosques are empty, and there are existing secret congregations of Christians, Buddhists, and Zoroastrians that continue to increase as a final act of defiance against the Islamic dictatorship that has misruled Iran for nearly half a century.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description><link>http://boinkie.blogspot.com/2026/10/atheists-in-muslim-countries.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Nancy Reyes)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916543.post-4066659433341819310</guid><pubDate>Tue, 08 Sep 2026 09:22:13 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-09-08T17:22:13.169+08:00</atom:updated><title>mama mary</title><description>&lt;iframe width=&quot;652&quot; height=&quot;367&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/0lowGbRsN-c?list=RD0lowGbRsN-c&quot; title=&quot;Happy Birthday Mother Mary 🌹 | Beautiful Birthday Song &amp;amp; Prayer | September 8, 2026&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&quot; referrerpolicy=&quot;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;</description><link>http://boinkie.blogspot.com/2026/09/mama-mary.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Nancy Reyes)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/0lowGbRsN-c/default.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916543.post-6463643300750190858</guid><pubDate>Tue, 08 Sep 2026 08:42:26 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-09-08T16:42:26.884+08:00</atom:updated><title>crazy or demonic</title><description>&lt;iframe width=&quot;652&quot; height=&quot;367&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/DcJW526c-wE&quot; title=&quot;Jonathan Cahn Attacked on Flight 618!

One of my exchange student from Spain had an uncle stationed in I believe Japan but mentioned in a conversation (probably with other family members) about an apparition in the Philippines which they shut down. He laughed about it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;There is politics in the church. Frank Sheed, a holy man and publisher, once commented that the definition of a saint was an Italian Virgin. Which is why that so called teenage computer nerd pushed by his mother and the Vatican was quickly made a saint, but if CHarlie Kird was a Catholic, nothing would be done. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Personally I am waiting for someone to mention that Ninoy and Cory Aquino should be made saints. But never mind. They saved the Philippines from communisim at a time when all the western missionaries here were writing essays in their mision magazines that the only choice was between Marcos Sr and communism. well, Ninoy risked his life and was killed to give a third choice, and Cory took his place and succeeded because of Cardinal Sin, the sisters at the convent where she stayed, and the beautiful lady in white who told Marcos soldiers not to shoot her people. (When asked later if that lady was Our Lady, or one of the nuns, Cardinal Sin quipped that he knew all the nuns with him and none of them were very good looking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;OH well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;This pope is busy letting heretics and those winking at sexual sin and leeting China destroy the Cahtolic church there is actually helping destroy Catholicism in the Philippines and latin America. He preaches save the environment and hold pachimama ceremonies, whereas the Evangelicals preach Jesus and practical advice on how to live a Christian life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Sigh.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://boinkie.blogspot.com/2026/09/who-are-todays-prophets.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Nancy Reyes)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/cy4EBfxosPQ/default.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916543.post-1580319696793970671</guid><pubDate>Sun, 26 Jul 2026 02:52:37 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-07-26T10:52:39.900+08:00</atom:updated><title>why the sudden war against Vance</title><description>I am reading a lot of anti Vance stuff including the WSJ editorial and twittermon and a bigshot female criticizing him for missing a meeting when the reason was his wife was having a baby&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;And opinion writers trying to drive a wedge bye him and trump and Rubio&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then you have his secret service detail leaking information on where he is and I noticed his family had to move onto a military base for safety&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A full blown attack that séems organized and personal.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But I have just started reading his book communion an will have to check his interviews about it&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Follow the dots.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Charlie Kirk.

Doctrine becomes harder to articulate. Moral teaching becomes uncomfortable. The call to repentance softens. And mercy is quietly separated from truth. &lt;P&gt;We hear much about mercy today – and rightly so. Without mercy, none of us would stand. But mercy has been redefined. Too often it is presented as affirmation without conversion, accompaniment without direction, and compassion without truth. 

This is not the mercy of Christ. &lt;P&gt;
  The Church is not abandoned. Christ remains her Head. He is present in the Eucharist. He is faithful to His promises. And yet, many of the faithful feel unsettled. They feel disoriented. They struggle to put words to it, but they sense that something precious has been weakened, something essential has been obscured.&lt;P&gt;It is one thing to be compassinate for those seduced to come to the USA saying they would be winked at for being illegal, but when the criminals are being deported and the left is making it a crusade to stop them violently (like running them down with a car or invading a church), then you have to recognize there is a lot of deception. And when the bigshot US bishops defending the leftist crusade are the ones we layfolk know as beingg the same ones who wink at priests who are immoral, well, you know a lot of us will be cynical.

Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) issued a formal statement on this date condemning the corruption in flood control projects, which involved billions of pesos in anomalies like ghost projects, substandard construction, and misuse of public funds by politicians, contractors, and officials. Signed by CBCP president Cardinal Pablo Virgilio David, the statement demanded the return of stolen funds, greater transparency in budgeting, and full accountability, while urging Filipinos—especially the youth—to expose injustices and make corruption &quot;shameful again.&quot; This followed earlier ecumenical condemnations on September 5, 2025, from the Church Leaders Council for National Transformation (including three Catholic bishops), and aligned with the Manila Archdiocese&#39;s pastoral letter on September 15, 2025, calling for prayer and non-violent action against the scandal. The controversy had escalated in late August 2025 amid deadly floods in Metro Manila, revealing how graft worsened typhoon impacts in the disaster-prone nation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1adg3ll r-1x3r274 r-p1pxzi&quot;

refer to infrastructure initiatives—primarily flood mitigation structures like dikes, revetments, and river walls—that were officially funded, approved, and reported as completed by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) but either never started, remain unfinished, or exist only on paper with falsified documents. These schemes involve collusion between politicians, contractors, and officials, who pocket funds through kickbacks (known as &quot;tongpats&quot; or &quot;obligasyon,&quot; often 30-40% of project costs), overpricing, and substandard or nonexistent work. The scandal, exposed amid deadly typhoons like Kalmaegi (locally &quot;Uwan&quot;) in late 2025, has amplified public outrage, as these failures directly contributed to at least 259 flood-related deaths, widespread displacement, and economic losses estimated at ₱42.3 billion to ₱118.5 billion (US$850 million to US$2.4 billion) from 2023-2025. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1x3r274&quot;

Homan told EWTN News on Nov. 14 that the “Catholic Church is wrong. I’m sorry. I’m a lifelong Catholic. I’m saying it as not only a border czar. I’ll say it as a Catholic. I think they need to spend time fixing the Catholic Church, in my opinion.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;The bishops approved the message on immigration at the 2025 Fall Plenary Assembly in Baltimore on Nov. 12. “We oppose the indiscriminate mass deportation of people,” the message said.

More than 95% of the American bishops voted to support the message. The bishops said in the message they “are bound to our people by ties of communion and compassion in Our Lord Jesus Christ” and “are saddened by the state of contemporary debate and the vilification of immigrants.”

The bishops’ message cited Scripture such as Luke 10:30-37, referring to the Good Samaritan who “lifts us from the dust,” and Matthew 25, in which “we see the One who is found in the least of these.” Floor debate on the measure included bishops’ discussion of “the One” referring to the face of Jesus Christ as seen in the migrant.

“The Church’s concern for neighbor and our concern here for immigrants is a response to the Lord’s command to love as he has loved us (John 13:34),” the statement said.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Homan said: “So according to [the bishops] the message we should send to the whole world is: ‘If you cross the border illegally, which is a crime, don’t worry about it. If you get … removed by a federal judge, that’s due process, don’t worry about it, because there shouldn’t be mass deportations.’” 

He added: “If that’s the message we send the whole world, people are still going to put themselves in harm’s way to come to the greatest nation on earth.” 

“We saw during the Biden administration, when there was no immigration enforcement, over 4,000 aliens died making that journey” and “40 million Americans died from fentanyl,” Homan said.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Homan said he wants the Catholic Church to understand that secure borders save lives.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;U.S. bishops acknowledged the need for secure borders in their special message, writing: “We recognize that nations have a responsibility to regulate their borders and establish a just and orderly immigration system for the sake of the common good.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Homan said: “We’re going to enforce the law, and by doing that, we’re saving a lot of lives. One of the reasons no one talks about why we have the most secure border in the history of this nation is because [of] exactly what ICE is doing.” 

“ICE has sent a message to the whole world: ‘Don’t give your life savings to come to [the] country, because you’re not gonna be released. You’re not going to cross [the] border illegally. You’re going to be prosecuted,’” Homan said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;no mentioned in the discussion: How the US church made oodles of money &quot; helping&quot; the migrants.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://boinkie.blogspot.com/2025/11/homan-tells-off-pc-bishops.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Nancy Reyes)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/rMbsBh707To/default.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916543.post-7906668151245641641</guid><pubDate>Sat, 15 Nov 2025 06:34:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2025-11-15T14:34:33.783+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">absurdity</category><title>Bishop Strickland protests</title><description>
