PURPOSE
The purpose of this News Commentary Section is to assist the faithful in recognizing the signs and lies of These End Times. Somehow, many self appointed Shepherds of These Times are trying to convince the faithful that the Apocalypse will be, using street slang, "a piece of cake" for them and "hell" for all others. They are led to believe that if they "do this" and "do that" they do not have a thing to worry about (of course, so long as that between the "do this" and the "do that" they send in a donation).
Others lead the faithful to believe that "All Is Well" and will continue to be, of course, as long as those donations keep coming in...
Wrong! For either case scenario to be true, the Old and New Testament has to be invalid. Logically, if the Holy Scriptures are invalid there is no use for "Shepherds", is there? So what is their function besides collecting money?
Spending it, of course!
Now, let us focus on the real world and the news about its crumbling structures, philosophies and half-baked theories. With the assistance of the Holy Spirit of God, Who cannot be falsified, the disoriented faithful will be able to understand what is truly taking place and why.

NEWS - Asian Disaster Toll Could Top 100,000 -- Red Cross Estimates
BANDA ACEH, Indonesia (Reuters) - December 29th, 2004
"I would not be at all surprised that we will be on 100,000 (deaths) when we know what has happened on the Andaman and Nicobar islands," Peter Rees of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said.
David Nabarro, who heads the World Health Organization health crisis team, said up to five million people lacked the basic essentials to survive.
The colossal surge was triggered by a undersea earthquake of magnitude 9.0, the biggest in 40 years, off the Indonesian island of Sumatra. It spread an arc of death from Indonesia to Sri Lanka and beyond to Africa.
U.S. scientists said the quake that set off the wall of water had moved tectonic plates beneath the Indian Ocean by up to 100 feet, causing the Earth to wobble on its axis and permanently shortening the day by a fraction of a second.
UNICEF executive director Carol Bellamy said children could account for up to a third of the dead.
In Thailand, where thousands of tourists had been enjoying a peak-season Christmas break away from the northern winter, many west-coast resorts were turned into graveyards.
The official toll in Thailand is 1,600, but 3,500 foreigners were unaccounted for, including more than 2,000 Scandinavians.
More than 1,800 bodies have been recovered from Khao Lak beach, north of Phuket island, and more than 3,000 people may have died there alone, police said. More than 300 dead had been found on Phi Phi island, made famous in the film "The Beach."
The M+G+R Foundation Comments
God Wills that I remind one and all that the area most affected by this devastating earthquake took place in the focal point of Sex Tourism in which the young ones are prostituted for the deviant pleasure of the "tourists".
What the world is now witnessing is another chapter of Divine Mercy in Action
We repeat: The power to diminish the need for God to exercise His last ditch effort to bring souls back to Him and Eternal Life still is in our hands but Denial is rampant and only more pain will make the deaf finally pay attention; although it will be too late for many.

NEWS - Less than half now believe in God: Survey - December 27th, 2004
LONDON (AFP) - Less than half of all Britons now believe in God, a sharp drop from the more than three quarters of the population who said they were believers in 1968, according to a survey published.
A new YouGov survey found that only 44 percent believed in God, compared to a Gallup poll survey in 1968 which found that 77 percent believed in God.
Young people especially are significantly less religious than older people, with more than a third describing themselves as either agnostics or atheists.
The proportion who do not believe in God has trebled from 11 percent in the late-1960s to 35 percent today.
The M+G+R Foundation Comments
What is there to say? We have explained what has been taking place in our document entitled Demise of the Faith. We have shown that the Vatican intrigues and agendas have done more damage to the Faith than Lenin.
Finally - we have shown that unless the Faith is solidly founded on God, it will be lost.
What is there left to do? Cooperate with God so that the suffering that awaits the world is reduced as much as possible while Prophecy is fulfilled while Divine Justice is dispensed.
What a tragedy! Maybe those who live in Denial may wake up in time to help in the battle so that at least a little Faith is left with which to greet our Lord.

NEWS - Cardinal Untruths - Mahony’s testimony in sex scandal clashes with earlier statements and reality - December 12th, 2004
Confidential documents and sworn statements by Cardinal Roger Mahony were released last week, ending two years of legal maneuvers to shield "his eminence" from examination in the Catholic clergy sex abuse scandal. The cardinal's testimony, memos and letters offer a rare glimpse into Mahony’s formative years as a priest and young bishop in Fresno and Stockton from 1962 to 1985, and reflect on his moral standing as shepherd of 5 million Catholics in Los Angeles and ranking prelate in the United States.
Mahony emerges as a man of contradictions and memory problems. A man who claims never to have known a priest to have sex before 1968, who struggles to remember steps he took — or did not take — to address a pedophilia crisis of epic proportions. A man whose fitness to lead must now be examined in light of whether he is telling the truth or not.
Compelled by the court after months of resistance, Mahony was deposed recently at his lawyer's office in downtown Los Angeles. Five lawyers representing hundreds of sex-abuse victims questioned Mahony for six hours about how he responded to accusations that priests in his charge had molested children. His stubborn refusal to answer all questions with candor was a virtual dare to his adversaries to dig deeper for the truth.
The M+G+R Foundation Comments
Frankly, the above news are not shocking nor dismaying to us. After all, the Mahony of the East Coast, "Cardinal" Law has been honored and rewarded by The Vatican (which as far as the world is concerned, is led by John Paul II) with the mother of all Marian Churches - the Basilica of St. Mary Major.
If that in itself is not an abomination and an insult to that Mary Who came in 1947 and 1966 complaining about such clerical sexual deviations and Who, as any good Mother would do, brought the remedy for their wayward children - we do know not what it is - or, do we?
What is truly shocking to us are the Roman Catholics who still place themselves blindly under the leadership of these Spiritual Bastards at the expense of demolishing the remaining pristine and life giving Catholic Faith.
To those of you, brethren, who do so, we wish to remind you that in God's Court of Law the excuse/justification of "He made me do it!" does not exist. If you have any doubts about this, ask Adam, Eve's husband. [Genesis 2:23-24]
How about "Mercy"? Of course, there is always Mercy. Remember? God placed a mark on Cain [Genesis 4:14-16] so that he would not be killed by anyone he would meet for murdering his brother Abel (*). Nonetheless, God gave Adam and Eve "their walking - out of Paradise - papers" - that is what we call "Mercy in Action".
Even if you are marked for Heaven... how long are you willing to stay in Purgatory witnessing the consequences of your stiff-necked denial ?
We personally do not want to spend any time there... and that is why we publish the information He Wills we do so that you may read it and cannot claim ignorance in that Oh-so-lonely and awesome Court of Divine Judgment which awaits all of us.
Catholics - Do you ever wonder what is really meant/implied when we pray the Hail Mary: "...pray for us sinners now and at the our of our death. Amen!"? We shall give you a clue: It has something to do with the "Oh-so-lonely and awesome Court of Divine Judgment".
All Christians - Are you conscious of the contract that you are signing with God when you pray the Our Father? We suggest that you become aware of "the fine print".
(*) A Note to the "Super Christians" who support, endorse and cheer on the Death Penalty: Who do you think you are kidding with your fraudulent piety? You hypocrites! Read the "fine print" of the prayer you often mouth without meaning it.

NEWS - Sale of I.B.M. PC Unit Is a Bridge Between Cultures - December 8th, 2004
I.B.M. announced late yesterday the sale of its personal computer business to Lenovo, China's largest personal computer maker, a deal that reflects the industrial and economic ambitions of not only the two companies but also their two nations.
Under Lenovo's ownership, the I.B.M. personal computer business will continue to be based in the United States and run by its current management team. I.B.M. will take a stake of 18.9 percent in Lenovo, which is based in Beijing but plans to have headquarters in New York.
The significance of the deal may exceed the relatively modest amount that Lenovo is paying: a total of $1.75 billion in cash, stock and debt.
The transaction - The Times reported late last week that I.B.M. had put its PC business up for sale - points to the rising global aspirations of corporate China as it strives to become a trusted supplier to Western companies and consumers. The sale also signals a recognition by I.B.M., the prototypical American multinational, that its own future lies even farther up the economic ladder, in technology services and consulting, in software and in the larger computers that power corporate networks and the Internet. All are businesses far more profitable for I.B.M. than its personal computer unit.
But the move signals an acknowledgment by I.B.M. that its future in China may be best served by a close partnership with a local market leader - particularly one, as in Lenovo's case, that is partly owned by the Chinese government. The chief executive of Lenovo will be Stephen M. Ward Jr., currently an I.B.M. senior vice president in charge of the PC business. Lenovo's current chief and president, Yang Yuanqing, will become Lenovo's chairman.
The M+G+R Foundation Comments
A Trojan Horse in reverse.
Poor, poor people... and they still cling on to denial while their pockets are being emptied and souls sold by those "who do not exist" - according to their denial-enhanced-beliefs.
Should we be surprised that our youth is completely lost and make their idol Eminem- a poor kid who is more lost than most? Thank God that President Bush was re-elected!
We must pray and offer acts or reparation to the Most High - only then - as He has repeatedly promised His children through our Heavenly Mother, the Virgin Mary - Suffering will be minimized, while Divine Justice is dispensed and Prophecy fulfilled.

ABC-7 NEWS - Oakland Seminary Housing Sex Offender Priests - November 28, 2004
A Dominican priory in a rich neighborhood of Oakland, California, is sheltering 7 Dominican priests who are sex offenders.
Note: Quotes, with comments made by the contributor of the information to The M+G+R Foundation in brackets, follow:
"The Dominican Order of Catholic Priests has decided to send its members who've abused children
across the western United States to live at St. Albert's."
[and it's supposed to have remained secret:]
"This former seminarian attended a meeting two years ago when St. Albert's officials announced
sex offenders would be moving in, and that the young men training to be priests should tell no one
“ not their families, not the media.'
[and]
"The head of the Dominican's Western Province confirms that seven priests who admit sexually
abusing children now live at St. Albert's and in a house nearby. Their victims include young
children and teens, boys and girls. The incidents happened as long as 30 years ago, and as
recently as 1999. Father Roberto Corral: "These guys have been through their therapy, and working
with their counselors and therapists, we are reasonably sure they will not re-offend."
[Where have we heard that one before...? Note how recent some of the offenses are - Could it be that the offenders could still be liable for prosecution?]
[and]
"Father Roberto Corral says none of the priests was prosecuted for sexual abuse of minors, but
that the Dominicans have paid settlements to most of the victims. Corral says his duty now is to
help the priests lead fulfilling lives."
[and the priests are free to leave the priory, and there are kids in the neighborhood...]
[and]
"there are plenty of kids around St. Albert's. They live in this neighborhood. They go to
school just four doors down, here at Claremont Middle School. And, there are several other schools
in the surrounding blocks. Pre-schools, elementary schools, daycare centers' kids are everywhere
in Rockridge. And, no one from St. Albert's or the Oakland Diocese told the schools or the
families living on the block about their plan to move sex offenders into the
neighborhood."
[and the offenders can get a car...]
"Corral says the neighbors have nothing to worry about, that he keeps an eye on the sex
offenders. But, he also admits they are allowed to walk the neighborhood unescorted, even to check
out a car and go for rides alone."
[Additionally ... I (the contributor of report) know the neighborhood, and worshipped there once. The priory is a 5-minute walk from the subway line that gives access to the entire Bay Area. So if the offender is free to move about on his own, he can walk to the subway station and be many miles away within an hour. One subway stop goes to the San Francisco International Airport.]
[but the Father in charge of the offenders says they are "delightful men" who had done something "very foolish":]
"Father Roberto Corral: "My experience, most of these guys are delightful men, again, we're all
imperfect and they simply happen to have done something that was very foolish at one point in
their lives."
[Pedophilia ... not evil, but "very foolish" ... new morality for the Church!]
[and the hidden "kicker" ... the pedo-priests get to vote on which seminarians may go on to ordination, and the Diocesan Bishop, who has a reputation as a stalwart, orthodox pro-lifer, has OK'd having the pedophiles in his diocese:]
"The other important issue is those seven sex offenders make up a third of the priests at the
seminary, and they have a vote on which young men will become priests. They're helping decide the
future of the church. By the way, Father Corral tells us the sex offenders are there with the
blessing of Oakland Bishop Allen Vigneron. His spokesman says the bishop's out of town, and would
offer no comment."
The M+G+R Foundation Comments
Make no mistake - this situation is allowed by the Roman Catholic Church Administration. These are the Administrators who are supposed to lead a flock of, mostly disoriented, confused and underEvangelized, faithful.
These are the Administrators who have a say to whether the Faithful should believe Marian Apparitions, be it in Medjugorje, Akita, Garabandal or Rosa Mystica.
These are the Administrators who outright lie and twist already accepted and approved Marian Apparitions and their Messages like with Fatima and the now denied secret La Salette.
In case the reader has "conveniently" forgotten the consequences of pedophilia, please review the several articles that we have reprinted on the subject matter. Among them: Sex Abuse Consequences No. 1 and Sex Abuse Consequences No. 2
For those who think that by voicing anti-abortion slogans they are exempt of acting upon the repeated and well document sexual abuses and cover up within the Roman Catholic Church - think again! You may fool your neighbor, but you neither fool us, and much, much less, fool God Who Is our primary source of information.
Brethren - if these are the actions of the Administrators and/or of the approved sects within the Roman Catholic Church that you choose to follow blindly - without first seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit - then, painful as it is for us to acknowledge and state that: You certainly deserve what is coming upon you, we must do so... after all... God has no other choice since "Pain is the megaphone that God uses for the deaf to hear" when all else is being ignored by His children.
