Satanic Temple calls out Texas school district’s policy of beating kids – DeadState:
…[Satanic] Temple spokesman Lucien Greaves says that school administrators who think hitting kids is okay need to be replaced, and that sentiment was reflected in a billboard put up by the Temple in Three Rivers.
The billboard reads: “Our Religion Doesn’t Believe in Hitting Children.”
“Hopefully, our billboard will give pause to passersby who will be forced to confront the fact that the school district is being operated by depraved and ignorant sadists who have no business being in education,” Greaves said, according to Patheos. “The billboard should be a wakeup call that the school district trustees, who voted 6 – 0 for corporal punishment, need to be replaced by competent and humane members of the community who have children’s best interests at heart.”
Israeli Police Put Clowns on Notice | Coast to Coast AM: Following a series of creepy clown sightings in Israel, authorities there have issued a stern statement vowing to put a stop to any further funny business from the harlequins.
In an official release on their Facebook page, the Israeli police force put the Pennywise imposters on notice, promising that any creepy clowns caught menacing citizens would "encounter strict and uncompromising police enforcement."
According to the posting from police, cops throughout Israel have already taken numerous teens into custody after they were found dressing up as clowns and scaring unsuspecting individuals.
The message goes on to implore parents to keep a close eye on their children, lest they fall in with the wrong crowd and wind up also becoming a creepy clown.
Hundreds Gather in Germany Hoping for a Marian Apparition | Coast to Coast AM: "They were drawn to the village after a man named Salvatore Caputa, who claims to have been in communication with the Virgin Mary for the last thirty years, promised that she would make an appearance there.
According to those in attendance, Caputa dropped to his knees at the prescribed time of 4:30 PM and the distinct aroma of roses could reportedly be smelt in the air by some witnesses."
St. Anthony of Padua is one of the Catholic Church’s most popular saints. Saint Anthony of Padua, patron saint of lost and stolen articles, was a powerful Franciscan preacher and teacher. He’s typically portrayed holding the child Jesus—or a lily—or a book—or all three—in his arms. Many people give alms to St. Anthony Bread in thanksgiving to God for blessings received through the prayers of St. Anthony. St. Anthony of Padua’s life is what every Christian’s life is meant to be; a steady courage to face the ups and downs of life, the call to love and forgive, to be concerned for the needs of others, to deal with crisis great and small, and to have our feet solidly on the ground of total trusting love and dependence on God.

Column: Le Coeur et la Mer | The Wild Hunt: I’m being visited by someone, and I have no idea who she is. I have no idea what she wants. But she won’t leave me alone. It all seems very intrusive, frankly.”
“You don’t know who she is?”
“No, and I have no idea where to start.”
“Well, did you ask her who she is?”
No, actually, I hadn’t. Of course. How obvious. And so the next time I caught a glance of her, I demanded to know who she was and what she wanted. That night, she came to me in my dreams and provided plenty of answers. (Alley Valkryrie, The Wild Hunt)

"There is but one god and goddess, but many are their powers and names: Jupiter, Sol, Apollo, Moses, Christ, Luna, Ceres, Proserpinfa, Tellus, Mary. But have a care in speaking these things. They should be hidden in silence as are the Eleusinian mysteries; sacred things must needs be wrapped in fable and enigma." Konrad Muth (1471-1526) |
The Cult of Mary: How Supernatural Apparitions and Miracle Healings Led to Veneration of the Mother of Jesus | The Daily Grail: One aspect unfortunately not covered in the story is the Fortean interpretation - are these apparitions actually Christian/Islamic, or are they something else, simply being interpreted through that lens? Jacques Vallee covered some of these thoughts in his book Passport to Magonia, in which he discusses VM apparitions of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico, and another at Knock in Ireland, and how some elements also match those found in sightings of other strange phenomena, such as UFOs and 'fairy folk', throughout history. (I also specifically covered the similarity in 'sounds' heard during these sightings in my article "Her Sweet Murmur: Exploring the aural phenomenology of border experiences".) From spinning disks to falls of 'angel hair', there are some distinctly strange aspects to a number of 'Virgin Mary' apparitions. (Greg Taylor, The Daily Grail)
