Harry Potter

4 Degrees
Harry to Kingsley to John Major to Queen Elizabeth

The boy wizard knows and works with....

Kingsley was the bodyguard to then Prime Minister, 

The guy on the right was Prime Minister when
Voldemort got his body back.
The lady on the left was Prime Minister when Harry
began at Hogwarts
ALL prime ministers serve at the pleasure of the Queen.  This lady was queen during Harry's entire life!
She still is the Queen.
Blessed John Paul II and Her Majesty
If you ask me, they both knew Kingsley too, but they never said.

This movie is excellent.  I highly recommend it.  It helped me to understand why England has a monarchy at all.
Harry, I'm sorry that you had to die.  The manner in which you did shows the true, Christian roots of your soul and of your story.  Wherever you are, thanks!

Kate Middleton

Congratulations!  

Click here
to see a replay of the big event!

Kate Middleton will soon be married to Prince William of England.  She is currently 3 degrees from Pope John Paul II, but in two days, she will be 2 degrees away.

Princess Diana met the Holy Father several times during her reign

Prince William's mother was married by the Archbishop of Canterbury.

The current Archbishop of Canterbury,
the officiant at Kate and William's wedding,
 and
Pope John Paul II

Kate is now two degrees from John Paul II!

Here is part of Queen Elizabeth's wedding in November of 1947.

And here is the Queen Mum's wedding in 1923.  It's silent film.  Enjoy!

A word about the abdication, divorce, and the Anglicans.  
"I do believe you'll be queen over Churchill's dead body.
This is my fondest wish, Wallis."  
Edward VIII abdicated the throne because of his relationship with Wallis Simpson, a woman who had previous marriages.  The traditional story is that, as a divorcee, Ms Simpson was unsuitable to be queen of England.  This was not the actual reason for absolutely and entirely rejecting her.  Ms Simpson was a Nazi!  She was friends with Adolf Hitler, a Eugenist, and general white supremacist.  In the 1930s, many countries toyed with the ideas which became Naziism.  Indeed, the concepts of Eugenics, superiority of the white race, were born in The United States.  England and America could have easily turned to the right.  Instead, we elected FDR, and England forced the abdication of Edward VIII and had King George VI consecrated as their king.

The abdication happened when the then Princess Elizabeth was barely 10 years old.  It must have made quite an impression upon her.  The government serves at the pleasure of the king and queen, but the king and queen ultimately serve at the pleasure of their people.  It is Elizabeth's integrity, love of country, and love of personal and societal freedom, that have kept the monarchy strong during her reign.  While I don't understand the need for the royal family, I respect the British institution and understand that Britain's need for the royal family goes very deep and bears much fruit.  I wish them well and pray earnestly that their church will reconcile with their Roman brothers and sisters soon.

I am just itching to read this book.  It is a highly acclaimed novel imagining what the world would have been like if Charles Linberg had defeated FDR in 1938.  I heard it recommended on NPR and read a review in The New York Times Book Review Section. Check it out!

Natalie Wood


For Christians on the old calendar, tomorrow is Christmas!  Let's examine a connection to John Paul of a Russian Orthodox little girl, Natalie Wood.
3 Degrees
Third Degree: Natalie Wood
She's the last in the Christmas series of posts because of her iconic role of Susan Walker in "Miracle on 34th Street."
 
In 1960, while making "Splendor in the Grass," Natalie met and dated Second Degree: Warren Beaty.  Mr. Beaty was fresh from Broadway, young, dewy, and really really really horny!  More about that later.  Here's the trailer for "Splendor in the Grass."



So, I mentioned Warren Beaty's sex drive.  Warren Beaty found "splendor" in many "grasses."  It's safe to say that anyone who's had sex is somewhere in Warren Beaty's sex web.  He has directly or indirectly screwed almost the entire planet!  Among those in his sex web are several first degreers like Queen Elizabeth II and John F. Kennedy. Warren Beatty's sex web is here.

Let's Talk About Sex:
As a general rule, the greater the gift that God gives us, the more chance of evil coming from the misuse of that gift.

It's easy to slam those who struggle with homosexual attraction or another sexual struggle that you may not have.  But what about "the players."  Promiscuity is a sin that tears at the hearts of both women and men.  With each relationship, the heart grows colder.  
Using another person for sex is a grave sin.  
When we make the following comments about celebrities, we are participating in the sin and setting a really crappy example for our kids.  I wrote the captions, so this is obviously a sin I need to address.
"Who can blame him, IT'S MARYLIN MONROE!"

"What a guy! He banged the prime women at their most beautiful!"

"I can't believe he was nailing those ugly girls when his wife
was so hot."
Respect is respect, regardless of how attractive, powerful, rich, or talented a person is.  All people deserve respect from their spouses. 


If you would like to calculate how many sexual partners you are "related" to, click here.  That site is put out by Lloyds Pharmacy, and it is humbling.  It's also a great tool for teaching teens about sex.
