“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
- Fulton Sheen

"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Prayer Before Using The Internet HERE
Almighty and eternal God, who created us in Thine image and bade us to seek after all that is good, true and beautiful, especially in the divine person of Thine Only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant, we beseech Thee, that, through the intercession of Saint Isidore, Bishop and Doctor, during our journeys through the internet we will direct our hands and eyes only to that which is pleasing to Thee and treat with charity and patience all those souls whom we encounter. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
This beautiful child is a victim of the utilitarian mind-set of public health officials and the new generation of doctors. However, this is not that new. Partly, the legalization of abortion and the use of contraception has led to a hatred of little, needy babies and children, with more domestic violence against children and horrible decisions like this one. This is the culling of those who are deemed not necessary to society.
Way over twenty years ago, with my first child, I was living in England. The doctor wanted me to have an amniocentesis. I refuse, saying it was not necessary and the procedure was dangerous for the baby. Within minutes, I had FIVE doctors in my clinic room, yelling at me, that if I had a down syndrome baby, this child would be a “drain on the system” and “an unnecessary medical expense”. I stated clearly that such a child was a child and I would love him anyway, and walked out. I sobbed all the way home.
If I had been much younger and not as tough, I may have caved in. The procedure could have started a miscarriage. That child has the IQ of a genius, is healthy, amiable, and is a holy young man. This sort of thing which is happening in Canada will happen here, as those who are deemed not worthy to live will die. This is what happens when a government, Canada’s and ours, separates the law from the Law of the Creator, natural law and the Ten Commandments. God bless those wonderful parents and somehow, save that baby. Pray he is baptized. This is a heart-rendering event which will happen as usual under our new “health care” bill.
I am at a loss to understand how a tracheotomy can be considered too risky by the doctors of a hospital that appears to want to remove life support anyway….Well, I mean, I can understand how some of the doctors would consider it too risky if they are also not in agreement with the hospital, but given that the hospital appears to be struggling to be able to remove the life support, one should think this would somehow affect the assessment of the risk involved in a tracheotomy….
Catholicof thule,
It is against the warped philosophy, that this child is not worth the effort. It is not the riskiness, but the attitude.
Someone on the article’s com. box suggested that there may be someone waiting for Joseph’s organs. I do not think this is too far-fetched.
{Moe Maraachli and Sana Nader, have asked them to perform a tracheotomy which would enable him to breathe on his own, so that they could take him home. The doctors have refused, saying the procedure is too risky.}
Risky to whom? If everything goes wrong, the child dies. If they don’t perform the procedure, the child dies.
This is like the vet who refused to sedate my cat because she might die, so he euthanized her instead. But that was a CAT, not a human being!
It boggles the mind that these doctors are so determined that this child die on THEIR terms. One of the only things I had as the mother of a dying baby was the consolation that everything we could control was allowed to us to control. The hospital, doctors and courts are not only causing the death of the child, but they’re tremendously complicating the grieving process for the baby’s family.
Why do people with no compassion go into “caring” professions? Why didn’t these folks go into actuarial accounting if they wanted total control and unfeeling decision-making?
Catholicofthule’s question was the first thing that occurred to me when I read the story. It doesn’t make sense. I think the bottom line is that they just want to put the child to death, and if it has anything to do with them, nothing will stand in their way.
Can there be any doubt that Paul VI was proftic in Humanae Vitae?
My God, have mercy on us all.
The attack against prenatal and neonatal children is horrific. I fear that God is just, and hope for His Mercy.
This decision has been made by the ‘CANADIAN HEALTHCARE ALLOCATION COMMITTEE”. Sound anything like a death panel to you? Sound anything like only the fit may live? Sound anything like where we are headed in this country?
Let the parents take their baby home!
This is awful!
I echo Philangelus’ comment: why do people with no compassion go into ‘caring’ professions?
Poor little one….St. Joseph, pray for baby Joseph and for his parents.
Here we go again. “The HOSPITAL … refuses”. “The COMMITTEE decided …”
Why not be excruciatingly exact?
The Hospital whose president is NNNNN. The Committee composed of Drs. NNNNN.
It is not hospitals and committees that decide. It is people. Amartya Sen pointed out that a famine was ended in India in the early 1940s when a newspaper published the names of those impeding the distribution of food.
