Article: Roman Catholic Church And The Last days
The largest
statue of the Virgin Mary in the world, dedicated to Our Lady of Socavon,
was inaugurated at a Feb. 1 ceremony
in the city of Oruro, Bolivia. Rolando Rocha, the lead sculptor for the
project, told reporters that more than simply "a work of engineering and
art," the monument "is an act of faith
that strengthens our traditions."
Towering
at 149 feet, the statue is located on a 12,000-foot
mountain south of La Paz, the country's second largest city.
It stands 22 feet taller than the Christ the Redeemer statue atop Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil.
The statue's
unveiling ceremony was attended by both Bolivian president Evo Morales
and Oruro mayor Rossio Pimentel.

February 7 - George Weigel says New Evangelization is future of Catholicism
Article: Roman Catholic Church And The Last days
Comment from Understand The
Times:
It is important that Bible believing Christians understand the true meaning of
"Evangelical Catholicism", also known as the New Evangelization Program. The
Roman Catholic agenda is to win the world to the Eucharistic Jesus in order to
set up the "Kingdom of God" on earth. The Eucharistic Jesus requires a Roman
Catholic priest and the process of transubstantiation. This "Jesus", which
actually is nothing more than a wafer, is placed into a monstrance (container)
and is worshipped and adored. This whole process will play a significant role in
setting up a One World Religion in the name of Christ that prepares the way for
the antichrist.
As the Catholic Church works to shape the culture in the 21st century, her
members must embrace reality while fearlessly proclaiming the truth, said author
George Weigel.
"It is the same Church, the same Faith and above all
the same Lord," emphasized Weigel, a noted Catholic commentator
and biographer of Pope John Paul II. However, he explained,
"the Evangelical Catholicism of the third
millennium" will live out its fidelity "in a distinctive way."
He explained that the deeply cultural
Catholicism that emerged during the Counter-Reformation supported the
evangelization of the New World, an intellectual counterbalance to the
Enlightenment and opposition to the totalitarian political movements of the 20th
century. However, this
Counter-Reformation Catholicism of history is giving way to what Pope John Paul
II and Pope Benedict XVI call "the New Evangelization," which Weigel referred to
"Evangelical Catholicism."

An earthquake of
magnitude 6.7 struck off the coast of the Solomon Islands (Santa Cruz)
in the Pacific Ocean, the U.S. Geological Survey said on Friday. 
A confidential Justice Department memo concludes that the
U.S. government can order the killing of American citizens if they
are believed to be "senior operational leaders" of al-Qaida or "an
associated force" -- even if there is no intelligence indicating
they are engaged in an active plot to attack the U.S.
