Televangelist claims aliens invaded her body, took her eggs

Katie Souza, whose show “Healing Your Soul” airs on Trinity Broadcasting Network and Faith Broadcasting Network, told her YouTube channel Friday she was a child victim of an extraterrestrial conspiracy to create alien-human hybrids.

“I was visited when I was a young girl and aliens — alien beings — implanted an interdimensional device in me that harvested my eggs over my lifetime,” said Souza, 63. “This device obviously was harvesting them right when they would mature so that they could then … try to create a hybrid child.”

Souza, who founded a popular prison ministry in 2006 after her own release from prison, said thousands of other women have had this happen to them too, though many remain unaware. She said alien implantation is a cause of infertility, as well as other mysterious illnesses and unexplainable anger.

Souza has a book coming out Tuesday, warning Christians of what she calls the “alien agenda” of genetic corruption. “Star Gods” is being published by Charisma Media, a Christian company with a successful track record of bestselling books about End Times prophecy, spiritual warfare and demonic oppression.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas).

Sounds like a 1974 TV movie called The Stranger Within. Very similar plot.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Quote:Massachusetts Gov. Healey faces Catholic excommunication threat over abortion bill

An online petition calling on Boston Archbishop Richard Henning to excommunicate Healey has collected over 19,000 signatures since pro-life advocacy group LifeSite launched it on Wednesday.

The petition accuses Healey of sinning “gravely against God by legalizing the killing of babies until birth” and urges Henning to declare her excommunicated following her “scandalous betrayal of God’s law.” It argues that such penalties exist to “prompt the repentance of sinners and the salvation of souls.”

When a person is excommunicated, they are barred from participating in Church rituals, such as receiving Holy Communion.

Adding to the pressure, Kelsey Reinhardt, president of the independent lobbying group CatholicVote, sent a letter to Massachusetts bishops describing excommunication as a “censure whose explicit purpose is not retribution but conversion.”

Pointing to the legislation as a “horrendous lesson taught by a Catholic governor,” Reinhardt wrote that church law offers an opportunity to inform Healey “that she has gone somewhere she cannot remain without consequence. The purpose is to bring back her soul.”

Finally! Kirk Cameron apologizes for his crappy, unwatchable movies, or at least crappy scenes in them.

And, of course, he apologized to God instead of the audience because nobody watches his movies anyway.

Quote:Kirk Cameron ‘apologized to God’ after filming a scene that made him concerned about his own marriage

The Growing Pains star and Christian evangelist has been looking back on his filmography, prior to and following his conversion to Christianity in the late 1980s. In a video titled "I Apologized to God After Filming This Scene" that Cameron shared to his YouTube account in July, the actor revisited the 2008 Christian marital drama Fireproof, which stirred up a lot of feelings.

"I often wonder what my kids think of this when they watch the movie now and they see me playing married to some other woman, and then me yelling and screaming like I'm right about to," he said, before rolling a clip from the film, in which he and costar Erin Bethea engage in a heated argument.

"I've never talked like that to my wife, to their mom," Cameron explained. "It actually made me super uncomfortable to even do this, particularly as someone who believes that you're to honor your wife; in fact, the director got upset with me that I wasn't angry enough in this scene until I reached this level."

Cameron then played another scene from the film, which sees him and Bethea's characters, the unhappily married Caleb and Catherine Holt, spat over bills, chores, child care, and work woes. The end of the scene finds Caleb shouting in Catherine's face.

"Man, that is so uncomfortable for me to watch. And boy, my sons would drop me if they ever saw me speak to my wife that way," the actor continued. "I remember actually apologizing to God after doing that."

Cameron explained that he felt obliged to seek absolution for the act, simulated though it may have been, "because I should never speak to anyone that way, let alone my wife, even if it's just an on-screen wife. I hoped that I hadn't raised my own emotional ceiling to where that would affect the way that I responded to my real wife in real life."

Healy is an anti-gun, pro-choice lesbian. I sure she's not fretting much over the threat of excommunication.

Within the confines of the church, it's completely normal. Buncha weirdos. To be fair, though, kissing the purported skull of a purported martyr isn't the worst thing a member of the clergy has done.

“The Hand of God”: Kentucky mom sees divine sign in baby’s ultrasound

image


In a now viral post, one Kentucky mother shares a precious ultrasound image of her baby, in which she believes a hand is seen seemingly touching the child.

After uploading the ultrasound, Foster said her young daughter noticed the hand and asked whose it was.

Foster believes it to be “the hand of God,” a visible answer to her prayer.

“At his anatomy scan, I was told he had an aortic septum abnormality.”

Nevertheless, she sees this new diagnosis through a new lens, one anchored in trusting God’s plan. She finds encouragement and a new sense of peace in what she believes is seeing “the hand of God” on her baby boy.

Oh no. A member of Congress is freezing her eggs. Do you know what this means? She's opening the whole Pandora's box of sins for other women to embrace, like the objectively evil act of masturbation. Why can't women rather accept a mythical person like the Virgin Mary as their role model? Ha? Tell me why? What is wrong with you, women, that you cannot be like a woman who decided to refuse critical medical care and therefore killed herself in the process just so she wouldn't go against the teachings of the Catholic Church? Has the Marxist-feminist media brainwashed you that much?

Quote:A Catholic-Raised Member of Congress is Freezing Her Eggs

On August 8, attractively attired in a cream-colored top with her long brown hair hanging loose, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez leaned into the camera, projecting an endearing girl-next-door vibe, and said, “I think we need to show more depictions of women having full lives in every context and every choice.”

The 36-year-old representative’s declaration seemed like a friendlier manifestation of the “Girl Power” tactics used by writers like Devanshi Mehta, whose name appears attached to numerous columns on womanguide.net, her snappy copy strangely reminiscent of ChatGPT: “Feminism’s not stopping at abortion—she’s got her sights on the whole reproductive buffet…She’s pushing for options—pills, patches, IUDs—served up like a menu at a feminist diner, where every woman gets what she needs, no judgment.”

Unlike the use of birth control, egg-freezing is in and of itself an activity that carries little moral weight in Catholic moral teaching. However, when a woman decides to make use of her frozen eggs in the process of in-vitro fertilization, the picture changes drastically. Though widely accepted among Catholics and non-Catholics alike, IVF divorces procreation from its proper origin within the marital embrace, involves the objectively evil act of masturbation in the collection of sperm, and gravely undermines the personhood of children by treating them as objects to be marketed, curated, or disposed of at will. Based on her public life, sadly, there is little reason to suppose that these arguments would prevent the self-proclaimed Catholic congresswoman from turning to immoral means of family planning.

Our duty is clear. We must give young women other voices to listen to, better role models, like Our Blessed Mother, like St. Gianna Beretta Molla, whose joy in the midst of sacrifice reveals the ultimate antidote for selfish ambition: “Look at the mothers who truly love their children: how many sacrifices they make for them. They are ready for everything, even to give their own blood so that their babies grow up good, healthy, and strong.” It is a far cry from “Sit in the freezer; I’ll get to you later.”

People who think masturbation is ‘objectively evil’ should stop sitting next to me in restaurants.
