Catholic Church in Oregon Allows Buddhist Monks to Lead ‘Meditation’ Before the Altar
TUALATIN, Oregon (LifeSiteNews) — Tibetan Buddhist monks instructed Catholics in their religious practices and led them in non-Christian chants at a Catholic church in Oregon.
On June 26, 2024, five Buddhist monks were invited to Resurrection Catholic Parish in Tualatin, Oregon. According to the parish pastor, Father Bill Moisant, the monks, whom he does not name, came from the Gaden Shartse Monastery in southern India and are followers of the Dalai Lama. Photographs show that two of them gave a small group of primarily elderly Catholics a presentation on Buddhist “meditation” and led a prayer session in the nave of the church.

A concerned parishioner who attended the event and provided LifeSiteNews with photographs and video footage decried that the Buddhist monks carried out their instruction, chants, and prayers in the sanctuary before the altar and near the tabernacle. He also lamented the false characterization of Christ expressed in the course of the event and an apparent disrespect for the sufferings of Christ.
“Our Lord was compared to Buddha as a great teacher, a theologically inaccurate and offensive statement,” he told LifeSiteNews via email.
“The presentation emphasized Buddhist meditation techniques to escape suffering, seemingly ignoring Christ’s suffering and death on the Cross.”

The witness reported that parishioners engaged with the monks without expressing concerns about conflicts between Buddhist practices and the Catholic faith. He was similarly concerned that that session ended with a Buddhist prayer and offering of intentions, which he felt was a “further blurring” of “the lines between Catholic and Buddhist practices.”
“This was much more than an interfaith dialogue, this was a non-Catholic prayer session in a Catholic Church,” the parishioner continued. “It’s a matter of both location and substance.”
“When the Q&A sessions came, parishioners were asking more questions on how to conduct this in their daily lives.”
Fr. Moisant highlighted the event in the parish newsletter, saying that the monks had come “to familiarize us with their faith and to teach various forms of meditation.”
“Through meditation and a vigorous way of life, the monks are striving to attain a sense of peace, compassion, humility, joy and love with all people and to live in harmony with the environment,” he continued. “These are qualities which are familiar to Catholics, since that is what Jesus teaches us in the Gospel.”
“I pray for the continued fruitfulness of their teaching,” he concluded.
However, contrary to Fr. Moisant’s remarks, Jesus does not merely teach His disciples “to attain a sense of peace, compassion, humility, joy and love with all people and to live in harmony with the environment” but came to redeem mankind from sin and reconcile us to God through Himself, calling everyone “to that conversion without which one cannot enter the kingdom” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 545).
Canon law expressly forbids the use of Catholic churches for “anything not consonant with the holiness of the place” (Cans. 1210), which necessarily includes hosting Buddhists to instruct Catholics in non-Christian practices.

Traditional Catholic meditational practices flourished before the liturgical revolution that followed the Second Vatican Council, and the Most Holy Rosary is still widely used by Catholics to meditate upon the Life, Passion, and Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Reciting or singing litanies, such as the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary, also has rich meditational properties. In recent decades, Catholic laypeople have been invited to return to Lectio Divina, a practice common to monastics, which is the contemplative and prayerful reading of Scripture.
In his essay “Comparing Christianity & Buddhism,” Peter Kreeft shows how the detached Buddhist conception of compassion is utterly unlike the warm and personal Christian concept of brotherly love. Meanwhile, suffering, for the Buddhist, is something unredeemable that must be escaped, whereas Christians can find meaning in suffering, thanks to the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross.
According to its online schedule, Resurrection Catholic Parish also hosts “Gentle Yoga for Everyone” classes, despite yoga’s incompatibility with Catholicism.

Supreme Court Ruling Downgraded January 6 From ‘Insurrection’ to Trespassing, says Legal Expert
Supporters of Donald Trump who’ stormed’ the United States Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, are not guilty of committing insurrection after the Supreme Court effectively downgraded the accusations to mere trespassing.
The highest court in the land decided in Fischer v. U.S. that the “Department of Justice had taken too broad a view of [18 U.S.C.] 1512(c)(2), a law that prohibits destruction of evidence but was not intended for protests,” meaning those pushing the insurrection narrative no longer have a leg on which to stand.
While there is a federal insurrection statute found in 18 U.S.C. 2383, very few, if any, J6ers were ever charged under it. The most serious charge they faced was obstructing an official proceeding by destroying or hiding documents meant for use in the proceeding, this under Section 1512(c)(2).
“Unless the defendants could be shown to have interfered with the delivery of documents to Congress, they could not be prosecuted under the statute – as hundreds of people, including former President Donald Trump, have been,” one report explains.
According to constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley, who wrote a lengthy op-ed piece for The Hill, the SCOTUS ruling will have a massive impact on the hundreds of court cases currently in motion pertaining to January 6.
“The Fischer opinion will bring an end to a minority of cases that were based entirely on the charge under 1512(c)(2),” Turley writes. “The section had been enacted after the Enron scandal in 2001 with the collapse of an energy company accused of corporate fraud. It was designed to allow criminal charges for the destruction of evidence in the form of documents and records.”
“The Justice Department chose to interpret that provision to broadly include any obstruction of any legal proceeding, and then used it in hundreds of Jan. 6 cases. At least a quarter of the prosecutions included this charge. Most also included other charges, including trespass and unlawful entry. A small number involved serious offenses like violence against officers and an even smaller number involved charges for ‘seditious conspiracy.’”
(Related: The January 6 victims who were brutalized by law enforcement are suing Eric Waldo, described as the “highest ranking officer on J6.”)
Biden’s DOJ engaged in political witch hunt against J6ers
Turley is convinced the decision proves that Biden’s DOJ pursued wrongful prosecutions with its obstruction charges. DOJ official Michael Sherwin basically admitted this in a television interview when he said that his agency “wanted to ensure that there was shock and awe.”
“It worked because we saw through media posts that people were afraid to come back to D.C. because they’re, like, ‘If we go there, we’re gonna get charged,’” Sherwin added. “We wanted to take out those individuals that essentially were thumbing their noses at the public for what they did.”
The ruling also affects Special Counsel Jack Smith’s four-charge crusade against Donald Trump and his involvement in the January 6 fiasco. With the backing of Judge Tanya Chutkan, Smith is accusing the former president of:
1) Obstruction of an official proceeding
2) Conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding
3) Conspiracy to defraud the United States
4) Conspiracy against rights
Based on the SCOTUS decision, at least half of the indictments against Trump will be dropped as Smith pursues a superseding indictment.
“The Capitol security people invited the mob inside,” one commenter noted about the suspicious false flag nature of the J6 incident. “They had cameras set up to capture the fake insurrection as well.”
“The whole thing was staged by Pelosi, Schiff, Schumer and AOC. FBI agents led the mob and directed most of the activity.”

Israel says Doctors Without Borders Staffers are Terrorists Who Deserve to be Killed
A medic of Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), also known as Doctors Without Borders, was killed in a recent airstrike in Gaza. Amid the public backlash, Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claimed that the MSF staff was a “terrorist” working for Palestinian Islamic Jihad so he deserved what happened to him.
In fact, the IDF has released photos claiming to be proof that Fadi al-Wadiya, who was killed in an airstrike on Tuesday, was a “significant operative” in the Islamic Jihad group in Gaza.
Fadi Al-Wadiya served as an operative for the militant group for more than 15 years and helped build rockets used against Israeli cities, IDF spokesman Avichay Adraee said. He added that Al-Wadiya was the armed group’s “expert in the fields of electronics and chemistry.”
“A physiotherapist by day, a jihad operative by night,” Adraee said, arguing that the case is “a reminder of how terrorist organizations in Gaza use international aid organizations as a human shield.”
Fadi was a 33-year-old physiotherapist and father of three. He joined MSF in 2018. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones.
Fadi’s loss marks the sixth killing of an MSF staff member in Gaza since 7 October 2023. pic.twitter.com/F98B3j7Qe8— MSF International (@MSF) June 25, 2024
MSF has already rejected the claims, saying Al-Wadiya was killed when riding a bicycle to the clinic where he worked. “Killing a healthcare worker while on his way to provide vital medical care to wounded victims of the endless massacres across Gaza is beyond shocking; it is cynical and abhorrent,” said Caroline Seguin, MSF operations manager for Palestine.
“Fadi was executed by an Israeli strike and no proof of any wrongdoing on his part has been shared with MSF. Only an independent investigation will be able to establish the facts,” the aid group’s statement also included when it was released on Wednesday. The organization said five other people, including three children, were killed by the same airstrike. Al-Wadiya was the sixth member of MSF and one of more than 500 health workers killed by the Israeli forces since the fighting erupted in Gaza eight months ago, the organization said.

Back in February, Israel already attacked a shelter belonging to MSF in the Gaza Strip, killing at least two people. “Tonight Israeli forces conducted an operation in Al Mawasi, Khan Younis, Gaza, where a shelter hosting MSF staff and their families was shelled,” MSF posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“While details are still emerging, ambulance crews have now reached the site, where at least two family members of our colleagues have been killed and six people wounded. We are horrified by what has taken place,” it added.
Two healthcare workers are killed in Gaza every day, a British charity reveals
According to the British charity Medical Aid for Palestinians, 500 healthcare workers have been murdered haplessly in Gaza since Israel’s genocidal attacks began in the enclave.
Israel retaliated following the Hamas militant group’s massacre of more than 1,000 people and the taking of Israeli hostages on Oct. 7. The IDF has been waging a military campaign in Gaza which has so far killed more than 37,000 people.
“As of 25 June, 500 healthcare workers have been killed in Gaza since Israel’s military assault began in October. This equates to an average of two healthcare workers killed every day, with one in every 40 healthcare workers, or 2.5 percent of Gaza’s healthcare workforce, now dead,” the charity said in a statement Wednesday. “More healthcare workers have been killed in Gaza since October than were reported killed in all conflicts globally in 2021 and 2022 combined,” the statement added.
Meanwhile, the United Nations Human Rights Office released a statement on Tuesday saying that the killings have occurred against the backdrop of systematic attacks on hospitals and other medical facilities in violation of the laws of war.
Israel has been in disagreement with the UN for months after the organization’s Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in October that Hamas’ attack “did not happen in a vacuum.” The international organization accused Israel of carrying out “56 years of suffocating occupation.” Due to this, Israel demanded Guterres’ ouster back in January.
Attacking hospitals is considered a war crime by the International Criminal Court, but they can lose their protected status under international law if used for military purposes. Israel has justified attacks on healthcare facilities based on sometimes-disputed claims that Hamas is using them for various military reasons.
Tanya Haj-Hassan, a medical doctor who volunteered in a hospital in March, told the charity: “Palestinian healthcare workers have told me that when they leave the hospital, civilians give them civilian clothing because wearing scrubs is putting a target sticker on their back.”

Mainstream Media Claims Biden is Still ‘Sharp’ at 81, Just ‘Forgetful’
The New York City-based media agency Associated Press (AP) is in the middle of controversy following an article it published titled “Biden at 81: Often sharp and focused but sometimes confused and forgetful.”
Social media users were quick to air their sentiments on X, the platform previously known as Twitter, targeting the news outlet for its obvious cover-up of President Joe Biden’s gaffes and blunders, signaling the president’s slowly deteriorating cognitive state due to old age and alleged medications and drug use.
The article was posted on the evening of Wednesday, July 3, and was updated the next day. It tackled the most recent debate face-off between Biden and presumptive GOP nominee and former President Donald Trump, where the former’s performance was widely panned as confused and mumbling.
“The June 27 face-off alarmed Democrats and his financial backers, in part, because Biden seemed so much worse than during the almost routine moments when he’s less sharp. And that has raised questions about whether he’s up for a campaign that’s only going to get nastier and whether he can effectively govern for another four years if he wins,” AP reported.
“We understand the concerns. We get it,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said this week. As some Democratic leaders called on him to drop out of the presidential race, Jean-Pierre insisted Biden had no intention of stepping away from the campaign. “The president is clear-eyed and he is staying in the race.” She also claimed that “jet lag” was the cause of his poor debate performance.
“He is often sharp and focused,” the AP article indicated of Biden. “But he also has moments, particularly later in the evening, when his thoughts seem jumbled and he trails off mid-sentence or seems confused. Sometimes he doesn’t grasp the finer points of policy details. He occasionally forgets people’s names, stares blankly and moves slowly around the room.”
On X, the Libs of TikTok account commented: “Nobody is falling for this BS anymore.”
Another user posted: “When news orgs try and push this ‘sharp’ nonsense, it no longer feels like just normal partisan bias, but insulting arrogance.”
“AP in 2024: accurate and fair but sometimes partisan and shoddy,” another commenter posted.
Public concern about Biden’s fitness for another four years of presidency never subsided. According to an August 2023 poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, 77 percent of adults in the United States believe that Biden was too old to be effective for four more years. Not only did 89 percent of Republicans say that, but so did 69 percent of Democrats.
White House press corps denies covering up Biden’s mental state
After Biden’s lackluster performance during the CNN debate, concerns were raised about whether the White House press corps dropped the ball on fully covering the POTUS’ limitations.
The debate laid bare many of the concerns on the president’s mental state such as his having good days and bad days but sometimes seeming to slip up. A New York Times report raised similar concerns by those who have recently been in the room with Biden. The news outlet reported Biden has more frequent “lapses,” although at other times he appears sharp.
Nearly every media outlet has reported on growing concerns about Biden’s age well before the debate. The White House has always complained that the coverage is disproportionate and that the media is spending more time covering Biden’s age than his accomplishments as president.
But there are also claims that the media has not covered Biden’s mental fitness more aggressively because it wants to prop up the campaign in some way, an accusation the White House reporters denied.
Several White House reporters told CNN that the coverage of Biden’s age and his mental stamina should have pushed harder. They cited several difficulties in doing so before the debate, from the obvious political motivations of sources who either wanted to protect Biden’s image or project a certain image, to the blowback from pursuing such reports, especially from the White House and Democrats.
The administration has also insisted that concerns over Biden’s age was just a “right-wing talking point.”
“The right-wing media was calling him senile from day one and that wasn’t true,” the reporter said. “Then whenever you report on the age you were in some ways solidifying, giving credence to some people that were actually of bad faith.”
All the White House reporters who were sources for this story spoke on the condition of staying anonymous so they could speak more freely about their relationship with the White House.

Idaho Town Passes Radical ‘Anti-Hate Speech’ Measure, Worrying Local Christians
(LifeSiteNews) — The left-wing city council of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho passed an aggressive new “anti-hate crime” ordinance that some residents worry could make it illegal to publicly defend Christian moral teachings.
Here is Coeur d’Alene’s DRACONIAN new “Hate Crimes” ordinance, that will basically make it illegal to think the wrong way.
If found guilty, you’ll be sentenced to “[re]education.”
Dear North Idaho, you just lost your 1st Amendment right to Free Speech.#idleg #idpol pic.twitter.com/fl45eakOPp— Idaho Tribune (@IdahoTribune) July 3, 2024
On Tuesday night, the six-member committee unanimously approved a measure that punishes anyone who intimidates, injures, harasses, threatens, or is a “public nuisance” and engages in “disorderly conduct” toward another person for their “sexual orientation and gender identity,” among other civil rights classifications.
Those who violate the policy will be given a misdemeanor. They may also be slapped with a fine and a court may require them to attend a re-education program.
CBS affiliate KREM-2 further reported that “anyone who violates the code shall be ineligible for any City license, permit or activity for up to a period of three years.”
Coeur d’Alene is one of the most idyllic towns in the Republican-dominated state. Many Traditional Catholics have moved to the area in recent decades given the presence of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X and the Fraternal Society of St. Peter. One such person is former Indiana resident Dave Reilly.
Reilly, who has been engaged in grassroots activism since his move several years ago, told LifeSite today that the council members are “some of the most vulgar, disgusting, communist, Southern Poverty Law Center-affiliated, corrupt people who ever lived in Coeur d’Alene.”
“These are the exact same people who imposed mask mandates and shut down businesses during the plandemic,” he remarked. “They’ve decided to pass this ordinance to stifle the speech of their political opposition.”
Reilly encouraged fellow citizens to “liberate themselves of their occupied government and kick out the special interests and corrupt politicians that are holding our community hostage.”
Commissioners argued that previous instances of “hate” in the area is why the ordinance was needed. They said that racist terms shouted at members of the University of Utah women’s basketball team earlier this year while they were in town for the NCAA’s March Madness tournament was one such moment.
But the Idaho Tribune disputed that the incident occurred. Reporter Johnston Meadows has argued that what actually transpired is not entirely clear, despite the media pushing the dubious claim as if it were an irrefutable fact.
The Coeur d’Alene Regional Chamber of Commerce announced Monday that it reversed a previous policy that banned religious items from the Fourth of July parade.
Banning Crosses didn’t work out well for the @cdachamber.
