The Gospel Truth WWW.THELEAVEN.COM | NEWSPAPER OF THE ARCHDIOCESE OF KANSAS CITY IN KANSAS | VOL. 30, NO. 13 OCTOBER 31, 2008 The Gospel truth Soloist Peggy Robinson leads Our Lady and St. Rose’s gospel choir in a performance of “Only You Are Holy,” one of the early numbers in the “Give God the Praise” concert Oct. 19. Story and photos by Anita McSorley f you noticed a little skip to your step or sway to your hips the afternoon of Sunday, Oct. 19, you might have been channeling the groove of the third annual Gospel Choir I Concert of Our Lady and St. Rose Parish held in Kansas City, Kan. Certainly if you’d been among those gathered at the historic church at 8th and Quindaro, you’d have had a hard time resist - ing the urge to tap your feet — or maybe even stand up and shout out an amen or two. Welcomed by Our Lady pastor Father Bill McEvoy, the 20- member choir presented a wide selection of numbers. The choir was accompanied by parish pianist LaLetal Jones and guest mu - sicians Bill Freeman, Anthony Garner, Robbie Easterwood, and Patricia Hodison. The group was directed by Lorraine Long. The program also included a sprinkling rite by Father Roger Schmit, OSB; remarks by Sanctuary of Hope’s Father Dennis Wait; and a prayer by Sister Therese Bangert,SCL. Members of the KC Heritage Dance Ministry, including Debra Burbanks (left) and Germaine Smith, joined Our Lady and St. Rose’s gospel choir for its third annual concert in Kansas City, Kan. 3 8-9 16 FAITH AND POLITICS PRIEST HOBBIES ARE BACK!

  • The Real Powers Behind President Barack Obama by Karen Hudes
    The Real Powers Behind President Barack Obama By Karen Hudes Tuesday, December 31, 2013 8:02 (Before It's News) From Karen Hudes Facebook page: Barack Obama is truly not the President of the United States. He is not a powerful person at all. Rather, he is a front man for more powerful entities that hide in the shadows. The real power in the world is not the United States, Russia, or even China. It is Rome. The Roman Catholic Church (Vatican) is the single most powerful force in the world. However, the Vatican has been under the control of it’s largest all-male order, the Jesuits. The Jesuits were created in 1534 to serve as the “counter-reformation” — the arm of the Church that would help to fight the Muslims and the Protestant Reformers. However, they fought with espionage. The Jesuits were expelled from at least 83 countries and cities for subversion, espionage, treason, and other such things. Samuel Morse said that the Jesuits were the foot soldiers in the Holy Alliance (Europe and the Vatican) plan to destroy the United States (Congress of Vienna). Marquis Lafayette stated that the Jesuits were behind most of the wars in Europe, and that they would be the ones to take liberty from the United States. The head of the Jesuit Order is Adolfo Nicholas. His title is Superior General of the Jesuits. The use of the rank “general” is because the Jesuits are, in reality, a military organization. Nicholas, as the Jesuit General, is the most powerful man in the world.
