That is thou, O trembling soul. Thine iniquities have come between thee and freedom, like the bars of a cage to a bird caught from its native woods and imprisoned. See the quickly-palpitating breast, beaten against the bars, pining for the open field - is not that an apt symbol of thy deep yearning for deliverance from the tyranny and thrall of besetting sin?
We are made free from the penalty of sin through the blood of Him who died. - One of the birds was killed in an earthen vessel over running water - here is symbolized the precious death of thy Saviour, in the earthen vessel of His human nature, and in connection with the living power of the Holy Spirit, which bore forth the tidings into all the world. We have been dipped into the crimson tide and are freed - as the leper was - from the taint of our disease. He might go freely among men, and join the congregation of worshippers: and we may mingle with the saints, and enter the very presence-chamber of God.
We are made free from the power of sin through the grace of Him who rose. - He has passed into the resurrection life, and we in Him. When He rose through all the heavens to His native home, we ascended too. We are made free from the thralldom of evil by identification with the risen Lord; and the Holy Spirit, entering our hearts from our exalted Head, makes us possessors of all the privileges which are ours in the Divine purpose (Rom 8:3-4)-Fly away, happy soul, to thy nest in the heart of God! Seek those things which are above! It is your privilege to live in the heavenlies with Christ. Sursum Carda!
17-year old student Natalie Salisbury of Manitoba, Canada decided to take matters into her own hands after LGBT supporters and teachers at her school, Stonewall Collegiate, began to circulate the idea of wearing rainbow poppies to show LGBT solidarity this Remembrance Day.
In an interview with The Post Millennial, Natalie says she disagreed with the decision to change the traditional red-and-black poppy used to honor Canadian veterans during the Remembrance Day holiday. "I typed up papers on a computer, printed them off, and taped them up in the halls."
The printed papers contained quotes from news stories and people on social media Natalie had collected of individuals expressing criticism of the rainbow poppy. Some of the quotes on the paper included:
"Never seen something so disrespectful in all my days." "What does LGBT have to do with the war?"
"Red represents Blood, black represents widows and loved ones, Green represents land the blood was spilled on. NEVER change the poppy."
"You've got a whole month dedicated to the LGBT community, but the people who legitimately made a difference and died so that we could live decent lives have one day. You don't need a poppy, you just clearly want attention."
"One day to remember the real heroes how about we don't make it about your sexuality for once?
Natalie says she was just trying to express her beliefs and opinion on the matter but as soon as she put up her fliers teachers tore them down and had her report to the principal's office where she was accused of hate speech and endangering the physical safety of a group of individuals [LGBT students].
Natalie had attempted to record the conversation with her phone, wanting to show her parents what was happening. When the principal saw, her cellphone was "snatched away" and she was told there would be "consequences" if she posted about the suspension on social media or went to the press.
"So I asked why? Why am I being suspended and punished for expressing my feelings? And they said everybody is entitled to their own beliefs, opinions, and way of life. So I asked, why am I not?"
Natalie will not be allowed to return to school until after Remembrance Day and students who posted on the schools Facebook page in protest have had their comments deleted.
The Royal Canadian Legion official position is that altering the poppy is a sign of disrespect: "The poppy is the sacred symbol of remembrance and should not be defaced in any way."
Pope denies bodily resurrection of Christ
Pope Francis already has been accused of heresy by prominent Catholic clergy, but now his longtime friend and interviewer is claiming the South American-born pontiff denies one of the foundational doctrines of the Christian faith, that Jesus Christ rose from the dead in bodily form. Scalfari claims that the pope told him that Jesus Christ did not rise bodily from the dead but “in the semblance of a spirit.” The Vatican’s response was similar when Scalfari reported Francis told him in 2018 there is no hell and, recently, when the journalist claimed the pope told him that once Jesus Christ became incarnate, he was a man, a “man of exceptional virtues” but “not at all a God.” CNS News Managing Editor Matthew W. Chapman pointed out the response does not state that what Scalfari wrote was false and there is “no clear denial, no demand that Scalfari correct his article or retract it, and no denial by the Pope himself.”
