Comments on: NZ abortion figures reach 500,000 mark https://www.nzcatholic.org.nz/2016/04/20/nz-abortion-figures-reach-500000-mark/ The New Zealand National Catholic Newspaper Thu, 22 Feb 2018 21:20:41 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.4 By: John https://www.nzcatholic.org.nz/2016/04/20/nz-abortion-figures-reach-500000-mark/#comment-14224 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 07:11:26 +0000 http://www.nzcatholic.org.nz/?p=12587#comment-14224 Islam on current trends is about to take over.
With a fast of one whole month, prayer five times a day, less divorces, and intolerance to alcohol, its stands stronger than several other religious folk.

It will, say some staticians, soon change the status quo of several European countries.
By 2027, ten years away, France, with one in five Frenchmen will be Muslim. Germany will be a Muslim state by 2025.

This is because of the birth rate.

France has 1.8 children per family, while Muslims have 8.1. In Southern France there are more mosques than churches.

By 2025 one third of all European children will be born to Muslim families. There are places in France where only Sharia applies, and where police do not go. The Cologne business has woken up several UK folk and particularly mothers who want their daughters to be safe.

The reality is that the birth rate of Christianity is not where it was yesterday, and Catholic representation needs to look at what it is actually about. Families that were six or more, once made the difference.

The Catholic church has now reported that Islam has just surpassed their membership numbers.

THE moral failure in society today is the “plague of death”- abortion- that is a direct result of the motion passed within the Humanist movement, and inversely proportional to the presence of the mystic. The absence of the mystic is the failure of faith in Catholicism. That is entirely fixable. But for that to happen, a complete change of heart is necessary in Catholic circles. And Social justice is not the antithesis of Secular Humanism.
Mysticism is…

When the Eucharist is placed into a “granny flat”, deliberately impersonalised, given less and less importance, faith is diluted, lost, and the FIRST casualities are youth. There are over a hundred miracles of the Eucharist. They could easily find their way into Catholic news, into schools and colleges.
In Lanciano there is a sign on the footpath “Eucharistico Miracolo”. Fifty metres away is a church with the permenent miracle.
No backward in coming forward here.
Every passer-by knows.
And in the large basilica in Fatima, a plinth in 2008, with “Silencio”.
No idle chatter inside either.
Can this be replicated?
