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

Pray before you vote...

...and pray that others will do the same.

A Prayer before Voting by Rabbi David Seidenberg (translation slightly revised by Rabbi Arthur Waskow)

Here I am ready with my vote to seek peace for this country, as it's written: "And you will seek peace of the city where I exile you to" "and you will pray for her sake to YHWH, for through her peace you will have peace"

May it be Your will that my vote will be accounted as if I fulfilled this verse in all its meaning, and just as I participated in elections today so may I merit doing good deeds and healing the world with all my actions

May it be good in Your eyes, YHWH my God and God of my forebears, that you give a heart of wisdom to those whom we choose today and give to us and to all the peoples of this country the strength and will to pursue righteousness and to seek peace as one unity and may you raise up a government for us for the sake of good and blessing to cause to grow throughout the world lives of goodness and peace for us and for all your Godwrestling folk, Yisrael, and for all the inhabitants of the world, and for Jerusalem -- the City of Peace,

"And may the pleasure of YHWH our God be on us, and may the One establish the work of our hands for us, may the work of our hands be established"

About Me

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.
