New Apparition sighted at Knock Shrine

By

Witnesses have reported the sighting of a new apparition at Knock in Ireland, which they are convinced is "Old Joe" himself.

Traditionally, Old Joe is portrayed as a character with horns, a forked tail, etc., but this time he appeared as an old man, wandering around as if lost, sniffing the hair of passers-by, and groping... well, never mind. There were reports that his hands had blood on them: however, some reports say that it was merely chocolate chip ice-cream.

 "The sign said KNOCK, so I knocked."

Those who observed the apparition had little doubt that it was Old Joe himself. "That's the Father of Lies, to be sure," said one visitor who had been learning Irish from a book. "He claimed to be an Irishman, Begorrah! on the grounds that among his ancestors were some Irish folk who died 200 years ago. Ochone!"



Among great evils attributed to Old Joe are his support for the slaying of babies in the womb, the destruction of marriage, and "gender-changing" operations on children. There is some suggestion that the people who run Knock had foreseen the possible apparition of Old Joe, since they had closed down all Masses for the day, thus preventing the evil one from trying to receive Communion.

Knock will reopen when a complete exorcism has taken place.


You may regard Old Joe as a figure of fun, but he is very dangerous.

War Crimes and Genocide in Gaza?

Back in May 2024, the question was posed:  Has Israel lost the war against Hamas? To recap: Israel’s original intention for counter attacking Hamas - its  “jus ad bellum,”  - i.e. the conditions under which states resort to war - was to recue the hostages and also to eliminate Hamas because of its ongoing threat to Israel. It was not revenge for the horrors of October 7 th , 2023, although that was the immediate cause. It was about the damage that Hamas could do in the future given it stated intent to annihilate Israel. Is Israel aiming for a realistic, achievable goals? Rescuing hostages is a clear and potentially achievable end. But is eliminating Hamas possible? How do you reduce civilian casualties in the face of Hamas tactics? Is her present strategy producing more chaos? Is her approach encouraging future terrorist attacks on her. Is there an alternative approach? As the war goes on and civilian deaths rise, questions increasingly surface about Israel’s conduct ...

Gavin Ashenden Calls on King Charles to Abdicate

Gavin Ashenden, once Anglican chaplain to Queen Elizabeth II, has suggested that King Charles should step down from the throne, since the king “thinks political correctness is loathsome and the Church of England is all bunkum.” “Charles, save your soul," says Gavin, " Become Orthodox, become Catholic, and hand that whole mess over to people who thrive on pantomime and fakery.” The reason for this?  When Charles acceded to the throne during his Coronation he swore, like 500 years of monarchs before him, to “maintain the Protestant Reformed religion established by law and preserve inviolably the settlement of the Church of England.” As Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church of England, Charles' role as King is both a religious one and constitutional one.  Then ....  Last month a letter surfaced containing King Charles blunt criticism of the Church of England, as well as corporate capitalism in farming:  “It is money that drives everything and wisdom...

Black Friday - Assisted Suicide Passes Parliament

After a 5 hour debate, MPs voted in favour of legalising assisted suicide by 330 to 275 - a majority of 55. Christian Concern : Christian Concern has said the vote in favour of assisted dying marks a “very black Friday for the vulnerable in this country”.  Andrea Williams, the group’s chief executive, said: “Today is indeed a very black Friday for the vulnerable in this country, but this is not over. “The proposals in this dangerous Bill have been completely exposed. The proposed safeguards are completely meaningless, and more and more MPs are waking up to that reality.  “This Bill will create more suffering and chaos in the NHS, not less, and if it goes through, the vulnerable will become more vulnerable. “MPs are voting for the Bill at this stage in the hope that it will be fixed, however, the legislation is framed in a way that means it can’t be changed.  “It must be stopped at third reading, and we will not give up working to protect life and the most vulnerable ...
