It seems Pope Francis needs to brush up on his Tertullian!

It has been reported (in The ChristLast Media, I must note) that the current Pope does not like the phrase "lead us not into temptation...

"Let no freedom be allowed to novelty, because it is not fitting that any addition should be made to antiquity. Let not the clear faith and belief of our forefathers be fouled by any muddy admixture." -- Pope Sixtus III

See if you can spot the difference in the two cases.

Here is another Amishland suicide story from the same day.

New York Daily News: Grim day for cops called to 2 horrors

Three Pennsylvania state troopers at the Amish school massacre rushed from the schoolhouse to another horrific scene - where they watched helplessly as a deranged man shot himself in the head.

The three unidentified troopers were back at work yesterday after receiving the mandatory counseling given to all troopers who worked at the schoolhouse, Pennsylvania State Police said.

"They're still on the job," said Commissioner Jeffrey Miller. "We just want to make sure we get them debriefed and reviewed and that they're cleared to go back on normal duty assignment."

The three were among the swarm of cops at the school Monday when they were sent racing to a farmhouse 18 miles away in Pequea.

Joseph Therrien, 45, had argued with his wife, then set a garage, a mobile home and two vehicles on fire, authorities said.

The troopers tried to negotiate with him to drop his gun and surrender but instead Therrien fired a bullet into his skull. He died at Lancaster General Hospital.

"They are back at work today and doing their jobs," Capt. John Laufer said of the troopers. "For most of them, doing the job is what it's all about. So that's their therapy."

Amen to that, Brother.

State police officials were also concerned about the psychological burden faced by another unidentified trooper who held a dying girl in his arms for 40 minutes, waiting for a rescue helicopter to reach the school.

"I'm indebted to the trooper that spent the time with her and all the troopers that went out there," Miller said. "When I got out there to the scene, many of the troopers were covered with blood from triaging these patients, and they didn't skip a beat. They just kept doing their job."

Actually he never set fire to the mobile home. He trashed the inside of it but he never set it on fire. That was the last thing he meant to set on fire before he shot himself. He set fire to a 2 car garage, a dodge ram, a shed, and another larger garage. Just a little FYI.

First of all, the word is SEX, not GENDER. If you are ever tempted to use the word GENDER, don't. The word is SEX! SEX! SEX! SEX! For example: "My sex is male." is correct. "My gender is male." means nothing. Look it up. What kind of sick neo-Puritan nonsense is this? Idiot left-fascists, get your blood-soaked paws off the English language. Hence I am choosing "male" under protest.
