BREAKING NEWS IRELAND; SANCTITY OF LIFE OF THE UNBORN BABY CONTINUES TO BE UPHELD; ALLEGED NEWS

THE SANCTITY OF LIFE OF THE UNBORN BABY CONTINUES TO BE UPHELD IN THE LAND OF SAINT PATRICK.
A possible Referendum to repeal the Eighth Amendment cannot be held until 2018 at the earliest, under a compromise reached by the Government yesterday; Alleged News. [1]

Agreement Secured
Fine Gael and the Independent Alliance secured agreement on how to vote on a Bill, which has been seeking to hold a referendum to remove the equal right to life of the mother and the unborn from the Constitution; Alleged News. [1]

Proposed Bill not to progress
The deal struck by the two sides ensures the Bill proposed by the Anti-Austerity Alliance-People before Profit TD's does not progress to second stage due to the work of the Citizens' Assembly; Alleged News. [1]

The Citizens' Assembly
The Assembly, which has requested six months in order to complete its task, will send recommendations to the Oireachtas Committee; Alleged News. [1]

The agreement reached between the Alliance and Fine Gael commits to an additional six-months in order for the Committee to complete its deliberations: Alleged News. [1]

PROLIFE OPPOSITION
A veritable storm of opposition from citizens opposed to the Bill preceded the agreement. 
The Bill sought to repeal the Eighth Amendment, Ireland's last remaining constitutional protection for unborn children and their mothers.  
Family members, friends, people at work, in the streets and in the fields all passed the word on; urge your local TD to strongly oppose the upcoming abortion Bill. [2]
TD's all over the country were flooded by requests from concerned constituents to oppose the then upcoming Bill to repeal the 8th Amendment. [2]
Astounding numbers of people wound in and out of churches and chapels to pray the rosary, make devotional Holy Hours or simply to pray for divine protection over our unborn children, in order that they be saved from the scourge of abortion.

People of Ireland will NEVER accept abortion
The plain and simple truth is that the people of Ireland will never accept abortion, the killing of innocent unborn children.
Our children are our future. 
Our babies are our wealth. 
Our families are our life. 
Our unborn are our hope for a future where every person will be accepted unconditionally for the unique and irreplaceable gift to the world he or she is.
A future where the unborn child will be as safe as Christ was within the womb of His Mother.

BREAKING NEWS BALTIMORE MARYLAND: CRITICS CALLING FOR REFORM OF CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES ARE SUCCEEDING, ALLEGED NEWS



CONCERNS RE CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED IN LUMIERE CHARITY BLOG EDITIONS.
Yesterday we wrote of the report received by Lumiere that Catholic Relief Services stored, dispensed abortifacient contraceptives to millions, Alleged News. [1] 
Conclusive Evidence
The Lepanto investigative report gives conclusive evidence to the fact that CRS stored and dispensed 2.25 million units of contraceptives, including abortifacient contraceptives, in the Democratic Republic of Congo; Alleged News. [2]

The US Bishops' international relief agency was an implementing partner from 2006 to 2010 in the US-funded project, AXxes, in which 'family planning' was a 'key objective' , delivering contraception, including abortifacients, Intra Uterine Devices [IUD's] and related insertion kits, and also surgical sterilization kits, according to the program documents: Alleged News. [3]

The documents reveal as well that CRS's efforts included seeing to it that 'family planning' messaging and supplies were incorporated into vaccination, neonatal, Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV [PMTCT] and other aspects of the USAID-funded project: Alleged News. [3]

Inventory Reports
Inventory Reports submitted to the US Government show that CRS took in 2.25 million units of contraception, including abortifacient contraception, and that the contraceptives were distributed from CRS's warehouse throughout the health zones in the Congo for which CRS was responsible: Alleged News. [3]

Critics calling for CRS Reform are succeeding
Critics calling for CRS Reform are succeeding, according to CRS' President; Alleged News.
 Oklahoma City Archbishop Paul Coakley pointed out in a letter to the US Bishops that numerous US Priests have refused to take part in CRS programs as a result of reports by the Lepanto Institute on the Bishops' relief agency: Alleged News. [4]
"I would also like to note that we have heard of a number of pastors across the country refusing to participate in CRS programs, including CRS Rice Bowl, because of Lepanto reports," Archbishop Coakley stated in his letter, "This means that Michael Hichborn and his Lepanto Institute are prevailing," Alleged News. [4]
Speaking on behalf of the CRS Board of Directors, Archbishop Coakley told the nation's Bishops to persuade their priests to disregard the contents of the latest Lepanto Institute report and continue to support the CRS, Alleged News. [4]
"The CRS board would greatly appreciate anything you can do to encourage your Priests not to accept what Hichborn is saying," Archbishop Coakley stated, "And to support our international agency . . ."; Alleged News. [4]

[6]
In 2009, CARE's CEO and president Helene Gayle, appeared before a Senate committe to urge the funding of abortions abroad by overturning the Mexico City policy, Alleged News.

KENYA; CHILD PROTECTION UNIT LAUNCHED IN NAIROBI, 15 CASES AGAINST CHILD SEX OFFENDERS: ALLEGED NEWS


CHILD PROTECTION UNIT LAUNCHED IN KENYA, ALLEGED NEWS.
Kenya's first police unit dedicated to fighting child sexual exploitation and abuse was officially launched in Nairobi, Alleged News.
  The unit was launched with support from the National Crime Agency -United Kingdom [NCA]. [1]

OPERATIONAL SINCE APRIL 2016
The unit comprises 12 officers from the National Police Service of Kenya, as well as a member of children's services. 
The unit has been operational since April 2016, and has already been instrumental in safeguarding 150 children. [1]
It is pursuing 15 cases against child sex offenders, working closely with childrens' services, prosecutors, specialist doctors and the human rights organization International Justice Mission [IJM], Alleged News. [1]

SEXUAL EXPLOITATION OF CHILDREN
In 2006, a study conducted by UNICEF and the Government of Kenya exposed the commercial sexual exploitation of children in coastal areas. [2]
At the time of the study, some ten to fifteen thousand girls living in coastal areas of Malindi, Mombasa, Kalifi and Diani were involved in casual sex work - up top 30% of all 12-18 year olds living in those areas at the time, Alleged News. [2]
  A further two to three thousand girls and boys were involved in full-time year round commercial activity, Alleged News. [2]

CLIENT NATIONALITY
Overall, 38% of the clients of child sex workers consulted for the survey were Kenyan. Tourists exploiting children for sex came from many countries, Alleged News. [2]
Client nationality can be found in Tables 18 and 19, Alleged News. [3]

AGE OF INITIATION
The age of initiation for the children was between twelve and thirteen, Alleged News. [4]
Interviews with selected children, who were active sex workers, showed much earlier sexual initiation, as early as 6 to 8 years, Alleged News. [4] The girls said they had been abused by relatives or family friends, Alleged News. [4]

CASES AGAINST CHILD SEX OFFENDERS
Today, the trend continues. Some holiday-makers who travel to Kenya from abroad are sexually abusing children in Kenya, Alleged News. [5]
The Child Protection Unit of the Kenyan Police Force is pursuing 15 cases against child sex offenders, Alleged News. [1]

NCA 
The NCA's International Liaison Officers and The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre [CEOP] Command have provided training, equipment and financial assistance to the Child Protection Unit [CPU] as part of a three-year collaboration between the National Police Service of Kenya and the NCA, with support from the UK Government, Alleged News. [1]

The NCA will continue to work with the National Police Service of Kenya NPS to help it establish a self-sufficient multi-agency unit, preparing the ground for similar CPU's to be set up across Kenya, Alleged News. [1]

INDECENT IMAGES
Kenya is one of the many international sources of indecent images of children viewed and shared by UK offenders and a potential destination for UK nationals hoping to avoid detection by offending abroad, Alleged News. [1]

Simon Mason of the NCA's CEOP command, said: "Indecent images of children produced in Kenya are viewed and shared in the UK and there have been cases of UK nationals going to Kenya to abuse vulnerable children. International cooperation protects vulnerable children and reduces opportunities for offenders," Alleged News. [1]

WHAT IS PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTION? WARNING: NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN

PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTION: PUBLIC DEBATE OFTEN FOCUSES UPON THE PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTION PROCEDURE.


CONFUSION REIGNS AT TIMES ABOUT THE FACTUAL PROCEDURE OF A PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTION. 
WARNING: VIDEOS NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN


PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTION PROCEDURE 
ALLEGED NEWS


WHAT IS PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTION?
Partial-birth abortion is a procedure in which the abortionist pulls a living baby feet first out of the mother's womb and into the birth canal, except for the baby's head, which the abortionist purposely keeps lodged just inside the cervix [the opening of the womb]. 
  The abortionist then punctures the base of a baby's skull with a surgical instrument, such as a long surgical scissors or a pointed hollow metal tube called a trocar.
  The abortionist then inserts a tube called a catheter into the wound in the base of baby's skull and removes the baby's brain with a powerful suction machine. 
  The baby's skull then collapses, and the abortionist completes the delivery of the now dead baby. [1]

WHAT ARE SURGICAL SCISSORS?
Surgical scissors are sharp edged scissors with cutting blades. 

WHAT IS A TROCAR?
A trocar is a surgical instrument, with a three-sided cutting point enclosed in a tube. 

WHAT IS A SUCTION CATHETER?
A suction catheter is a long, flexible tube with one end connected to a suction container [suction canister] and a device which generates a strong suction. The other end [which has an opening into the suction catheter tubing] is inserted into the area for suctioning. The strong suction works on a vacuum principle, and literally sucks out the contents from the area being suctioned.

DEVASTATION OF GRAVES: HOW TO COPE, WHAT TO DO


MANY FAMILIES ARE FACED WITH THE SITUATION OF A DEVASTATED GRAVE 
OF A LOVED ONE.
In many areas burial grounds have been devastated by robbing of statues, 
vandalism of graves and headstones, 
pulling down of crucifixes, 
smashing of glass and 
ripping off of portraits
and affixed names.

Other instances include the removal of small caskets of ashes from Walls of Remembrance, emptying of ashes onto the ground, 
and the theft of caskets.

If you are faced with this difficult situation, 
what can you do? There are two options: 
first, to leave the grave in the state 
in which it has been left. This can prove distressing for those who wish 
to pay their respects to their loved ones. 
This approach also does not befit 
the dignity of the holy place of rest.

A second option is to institute a 
small memorial fund among 
family members. It is both 
comforting and pro-active 
to ensure that just prior to 
the anniversary of the loved 
one's birth into heaven, 
and on All Saints and All Souls Day 
- the 1st November and 2nd November respectively annually -
 the grave is made both tidy
and beautiful.

How to restore a devastated grave
1. Visit the gravesite with a number of family members and friends: numbers ensure safety
2. Clean away all glass: don't pick the pieces up with your bare hands. Ensure the glass shards are picked up with e.g. a metal implement and placed into an impermeable container. Ensure appropriate disposal according to local health and safety guidelines
3. Be careful to observe closely for any syringes, needles or drug paraphernalia. Be careful to avoid needlestick injury. Ensure these are disposed of by the proper authorities according to health and safety guidelines
4. Clear weeds away from the graves
5. Trim obscuring brambles or tree branches from the grave area. Ensure you remain within local municipal bylaws 
6. Purchase another statue to grace the grave, if the original grave has been stolen. Affix the statue to the memorial according to guidelines and health and safety rules
7. If pictures or affixed lettering have been torn away and are no longer present, employ the services of a professional stone engraver and have your loved one's name and information lettered direct into the headstone
8. As a community, liaise with the responsible authorities in order to restore all pushed down crucifixes and disrespected religious items to their correct place. If any have been smashed, organize replacement as appropriate. Repair what can be repaired. It is appropriate for family members to repair their family grave. It is helpful to offer assistance and support to other families in the same predicament within the cemetary
9. Throw away all old flowers, and discard broken plastic flower containers
10. Ensure the grass in the area [if any] is well trimmed
11. Request guidance from a trusted and worthy priest as how best to restore a Wall of Remembrance. A new casket can be purchased, blessed, and ashes reinterred.

Thereafter - keeping in mind that the devastation and vandalism of a grave cannot remove the sacred blessing a priest placed on the grave during the burial service - you may wish to have a service of reconciliation.

The service of reconciliation may be led by a family member, priest or deacon. Shake holy water over the grave, and stand as a small community around the restored grave in order to pray and sing with reverence and remembrance

SCRIPTURAL READING 
John 14: 1-6 
' “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; believe also in me. 
In my Father’s house there are many mansions. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? 
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place I am going.”

Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” 
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. 
No one comes to the Father except through me."  '

A Concluding song may be sung.

On All Saints Day and All Souls Day the family may wish to have a mass celebrated as they remember - and pray for - for their loved ones. 
An example of a devotional service may be found at

A  recently restored family grave and clearing of the signs of vandalism brought much peace to a family.
Upon their return some days later in order to hold the rite of reconciliation, a wondrous site met their eyes: other families had also fixed the final resting places of their loved ones, and on each grave rested a fresh bouquet of flowers.

It was a quiet and dignified moment. Despite the disrespect inherent within the vandalism, love and devotion had triumphed. Nothing permanent marred the resting place of their loved one. 

The family have made the policy decision that every year, without fail, they will ensure the upkeep of the grave. 
If the statue is stolen again, it will be replaced. 
If the headstone is vandalised once more, it will be repaired. 

And prayer is offered regularly for conversion of heart of those who were responsible for the disrespect of the graves.
