Of Parental Rights: What Amy Coney Barrett Did Not Disclose On Her SCOTUS Confirmation Hearing Application: "How Did You Get Those Tiny Haitian Humans?"

Well, I guess it is just pro forma when you take a foreign oath of fealty to intentionally omit how you traffic tiny humans.

John Roberts did it, so why not Amy?

Besides, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops need her on November 4th to cloak the stealin' the children, land and vote, more readily recognized as gerrymandering.

If not, the heavens shall fall and Catholic Charities will no longer be able to acquire goods to procure and purvey tiny humans through Foster Care and Adoption, making all the assets of their tiny human trust funds, toxic.

Not one member of the Senate Judiciary Committee asked Amy how she got those tiny Haitian Humans.

Some White colonizers "adopted" Black children. They "civilized" these "savage" children in the "superior" ways of White people, while using them as props in their lifelong pictures of denial, while cutting the biological parents of these children out of the picture of humanity. https://t.co/XBE9rRnoqq

Amy Coney Barrett initially failed to disclose talks on Roe v. Wade hosted by anti-abortion groups on Senate paperwork

(CNN)Judge Amy Coney Barrett initially failed to disclose two talks she gave in 2013 hosted by two anti-abortion student groups on paperwork provided to the Senate ahead of her confirmation hearing to become the next Supreme Court justice.

Barrett, President Donald Trump's nominee to succeed Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, gave the talks -- a lecture and a seminar -- in 2013 in her capacity as a law professor at the University of Notre Dame. The seminar was co-sponsored by the school's Right to Life club and constitutional studies minor, and the lecture was held by the law school's Jus Vitae club. CNN's KFile found advertisements for two lectures on social media and in a weekly Notre Dame faculty newsletter.

Late on Friday night, hours after this story published, the Senate Judiciary Committee released a supplemental update to Barrett's committee questionnaire that includes the lecture and seminar, as well as a paid advertisement she signed that criticized Roe v. Wade and reaffirmed support for Notre Dame's "commitment to the right to life." The release came after CNN asked the White House about the advertisement earlier on Friday.

It is not known what was said in the two events, though both centered on abortion court cases. In a separate instance, CNN's KFile found a publicized talk that Barrett gave to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade -- a seminar Barrett disclosed in her Senate paperwork -- was removed by the university from YouTube in 2014. A school spokesman told CNN the video is now lost.

Barrett's confirmation to the Supreme Court would strengthen its current conservative majority -- creating a 6-3 bloc of conservative justices -- and could limit abortion access.

Barrett's initial failure to disclose the two events also raises questions about whether the questionnaire is complete or whether there will be any consequences from the Republican-led Senate Judiciary Committee, which oversees her confirmation hearing. Past chairmen of the powerful committee have halted the nomination process after judicial nominees omitted information in their Senate paperwork but under committee Chairman Lindsey Graham that scenario is unlikely.

The committee has slated a hearing for Barrett on October 12 in an effort to confirm her by the full Senate before the election.

Senate Democrats on the Judiciary Committee sent a letter to the Justice Department this week that said Barrett did omit materials concerning Roe v. Wade and asked if Barrett omitted any more materials after the National Review reported that Barrett signed a letter on a "right to life" ad in 2006 that called for the end of the landmark legal decision.

White House spokesperson Judd Deere told CNN in an email, "Judge Barrett submitted her lengthy Senate Judiciary Questionnaire, spoke with an overwhelming majority of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and continues to be transparent throughout her confirmation process. She looks forward to answering questions from the Senators next week."

A spokesperson for the Senate Judiciary Committee told CNN "it is a very normal practice" for Supreme Court nominees to update their questionnaire, noting that several current Supreme Court justices also supplied updated copies.

CNN reached out multiple times to Barrett through her law chambers but did not get a response.

While Barrett's association with anti-abortion groups has come under scrutiny -- including signing a Right to Life ad in 2006 -- little has been examined about her work with anti-abortion groups at Notre Dame. Barrett gave the talks hosted by the anti-abortion student groups while she was also a member of the Notre Dame chapter University Faculty for Life, which staunchly opposes abortion.

In 2016, the group sent a letter asking the university to rescind an award honored to then-Vice President Joe Biden in recognition for his work as an American Catholic. The group called it "a scandalous violation of the University's moral responsibility (as the American bishops wrote in 2004) never to honor those who act in defiance of fundamental moral principles about the sanctity of life" and attacked his views on abortion.

Barrett initially failed to disclose two seminars she gave students on Roe v. Wade

In April 2013, Barrett gave a small hour-long seminar "for students on changes to law and life for women after Roe v. Wade" entitled "Being a Woman After Roe."

According to a copy of the Facebook event advertising the seminar, spots were limited to 15 students. A student publication promoted the event as an informal seminar, small group setting in which students can learn more from faculty members who oppose abortion.

"The Right to Life Seminar Series was begun as an opportunity for students and professors to discuss a variety of issues related to human life and dignity," an advertisement for the event reads.

The conservative judge also did not disclose that in November 2013 she spoke to Jus Vitae, the law school's Right to Life club, on "The Supreme Court's Abortion Jurisprudence." The law school advertised the lecture as focusing on Roe v. Wade and the cases that followed it, including cases that were being litigated on the lower courts at that time.

The lecture Barrett did disclose was entitled "Roe at 40: The Supreme Court, Abortion, and the Culture War that Followed," taking place in January 2013 and open to the university community. It was co-sponsored by the university's Constitutional Studies minor.

However, video for the lecture, which CNN's KFile found on the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine was advertised by the school as being available on YouTube, was removed by the user in 2014, according to a YouTube spokesperson.

Of 11 lectures publicized as available to watch on the school's event, only Barrett's was removed from YouTube.

After CNN inquired to obtain video of the event, a university spokesperson, Dennis K. Brown, told CNN, "We have checked with the organizer of the event [sic] have no information on what has become of the video of that lecture."

Several on-campus publications covered the event and Barrett's remarks at the time.

The Observer, Notre Dame's student newspaper, wrote that Barrett said, ''I think it is very unlikely at this point that the court is going to overturn Roe as curbed by [Planned Parenthood v.] Casey. The fundamental element, that the woman has a right to choose abortion, will probably stand," she said.

The Irish Rover, a student publication covering Catholic identity, quoted Barrett as saying, "whether or not Roe gets overturned is irrelevant," saying the question of abortion would return to the state level and could still be legal in certain states.

Anti-Biden letter

As Barrett gave talks on abortion to groups associated with the on-campus Right to Life groups, Barrett was also a member of the university's chapter of the University Faculty for Life from the group's founding in 2010 until 2016, according to her Senate paperwork.

While she was a member of the group, the group unanimously passed a resolution for a letter calling on the university to rescind an award given to then-Vice President Biden because of his beliefs on abortion.

"Notre Dame claims to award the Laetare Medal 'annually to an American Catholic in recognition of outstanding service to Church and society,'" the letter reads. "But our Faculty for Life Chapter agrees with Bishop Kevin Rhoades that the awarding of the Laetare Medal to Vice-President Biden is a scandalous violation of the University's moral responsibility (as the American bishops wrote in 2004) never to honor those who act in defiance of fundamental moral principles about the sanctity of life."

The faculty letter attacks Biden's position on abortion for not wanting to "impose" the Catholic Church's teachings on abortion upon a woman or a doctor, supporting the death penalty and for rejecting "the truth that human life begins at conception." It also states that public officials like Biden have "an especially grave duty to preserve" life.

The Pastoral Plays Of Jorge: Pompeo, China, The Vatican & The Integration Corporate Parental Rights

How very special!

The U.S. and the Vatican want to integrate chattel law in China.

Why?

Because it is so passe' to use the term assimilation.

Oh, and UNIDROIT et al is rewriting chattel law to create Corporate Parental Rights, or rather to recodify the hierarchy of human asset management to better maximize revenues in what the world is coming to see as modern human trafficking in the name of the tax exempt god.

You can monitor a person's moral turpitude with social scores, for we all know that sins are nothing more than spiritual debt to trigger human asset forfeiture, which can be leveraged at 1:90 if you have DeutscheBank to hear your prayers.

Naughty, naughty, very naughty Pence & Pompeo!

People may conjure images of Native American christian boarding schools, whose histories are exclusively excluded from U.S. curriculae and literature, because, you know, if we preserved the legacies of this nation, I would not have to constantly document this crap covering up the residuals of the peculiar institution which is the Child Welfare System, for they only slapped a cross on the salvific plantations after the Emancipation Proclamation, because you have to be over the age of 15 years to qualify.

China has lots of people who make lots of babies the private corporations like to use to make those wonderful, magical pills to cure all your ills, researched and administrated by the Vatican.

Do not let me mention the revenue maximization possibilities of all those absolutely glorious churches, who shall evangelized that turn key Detroit transposable model of stealin' the children, land & vote, the same thing they did in Russia.

CRS' HISTORY IN CHINA

Since 2004, CRS has supported the development of the emerging social service sector in China, with a particular focus on providing care and support services for people with HIV and their families. CRS expanded in 2012 to include services for cancer patients and their families. 

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of cancer cases is rising “ferociously” in China. About 2.2 million people die every year from the disease. For men, the most commonly diagnosed form of the disease is lung cancer. For women, it is breast cancer. WHO says many deaths could be prevented, mainly by reducing the country’s very high smoking rates. There are more than 300 million smokers in China with more than half of all men as regular smokers. WHO says air pollution, particularly in urban areas, is also a contributing risk factor for cancer in China.

I wonder what will happen when the people do not want to accept the christian integration socioeconomic model when the find out it failed, miserably, in its first test pilot City of Detroit.

*awkward*

The evangelical corporate parental rights human asset forfeiture network is already up and running.

I want to know why Pompeo is engaging in private matters on behalf of private corporations like the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, who are the ones running all the child welfare contracts when it comes to trafficking tiny humans.

Is christian integration election interference or are we to stick with the more traditional evangelical term of gerrymandering?

Better yet, I want to know why Pompeo is touching anything dealing with Catholic Charities when he should be fully aware of a matter pending before SCOTUS on whether or not to terminate the right to keep and bear the arms of the United States on November 4, 2020, the day after the 2020 Presidential Election, which is based upon the Electoral Vote of Electors who cast ballots, and not the Popular Vote by Qualified Voters who vote for the Electors, who will constantly change the the vote, by blackmail or bribe of a foreign actor, rather a christian corporation, registered under a state seal, with foreign oaths of fealty, like Christ, but the children's trusts are a completely different subject matter in dealing with all that money laundering out the IOR, more readily recognized as the Vatican Bank, by and through DeutscheBank and GoldmanSachs, in the heavy presence of Detroit legal situations.

The Vice President is over foreign policy and the Secretary of State is the signator, which tells me Trump has been falsely advised as these people develop false claims narratives to cover up what they are doing and what they have done since the very first Papal Bull.

To be continued because I need to breathe....

Tales Of The New Crown: From DARPA To DHHS - Brett Giroir Has A Prolife Moderna Trafficking Tiny Humans Dilemma - Humanized Mice v. Tiny Human Lab Rat

"Hey Brett! We need more tiny human lab rats."

Brett Giroir from DARPA to DHHS has a modern day trafficking tiny humans dilemma on his hands.

Does he refer to his acquired goods as humanized mice or tiny human lab rats?

I prefer tiny human lab rats just because I have adopted the term over 25 years ago.

This is what the prolifers like to cloak with their religious fervor of demonizing mothers who are losing their children in miscarriages due to ills of poverty.

The entire abortion argument promulgated through the halls of congress, which was created in the invasion of the Michigan Republican National Committee, is nothing but a false claim generated to garner more Faith Based Funding to continue the trafficking tiny humans through the Child Welfare System.

Using "The Poors" (always said with clinched teeth) as human lab rats is nothing new because no one cares.

You can order, from any mobile device, sperm and eggs, and grow them in your very own Corporate Shape Shifting Host, because they own the final product for commercial use.

That is fancy legal speak for trafficking tiny humans because you can not just sell them, you can financially leverage them and use them for all types of cooties testing.

The opioid crises was intentionally manufactured to maximize revenues, by and through public office, which is nothing more than an emolument, ,but if you swear an oath to another foreign nation, like the Vatican, that indelible seal will follow you, unless the chain of fidelity is broken.

Meet The Perfidious Sister Dede Byrne & Her Trafficking Tiny Humans Lab Rat RNC Convention Speech - Of Parental Rights & The Archdiocese Of Detroit Indelible Seal Situation

Moderna, as well as just about every other big pharma uses zygotes, which they will involuntarily induce labor through more lab rat human experiments on mothers."

No one wants to talk about the gestating mother.

Researchers mostly use Africa and other poor nations of war because there is no such thing as parental consent or parental rights.

Starvation, born of an U.S. invasion into a foreign land, will typically cause miscarriages.

Miscarriage is a form of abortion, as, abortion is not even a medical term; it is a legal term.

There are christian missionaries that conduct research on behalf of the universities and pharmaceutical corporations, to see how old a host, the latest term for a mother, can procreate.

I know of girls as young as 12 years of age giving birth in Guatemala, then having the child ripped from her arms to be adopted by good, christian, American parents.

Praise the lord and the Vatican orpha.net.

I know of medical research institutions in Detroit and Ukraine that love to collect the involuntarily induced miscarriages (a.k.a. abortion) where there is a surge in building more neonatal units because a mother does not have to carry full term, for a fetus of 5 weeks will do just fine in children's medical research training facilities.

They like to do things like dope up the water, which is why Detroit is #1 in infant mortality, a fetal good to be cherished in a CRISPR research event.

They ran similar tiny human lab rat operations in Flint.

Unfortunately, in case of Moderna, I shall go out there as say, once again, that they use children as lab rats, but in this case, the term tiny human lab rats, is a term most appropriately applied.

This is nothing more than another tale of modern day trafficking of tiny humans because no one cares....or do they?

Moderna's Patents Probed by U.S. Defense Department, FT Says

Moderna Inc.’s patents that were filed or awarded are being probed by the U.S. Department of Defense’s research arm, the Financial Times reported, saying the company failed to disclose government funding as required by federal law.

Knowledge Ecology International, a patient advocacy group, said in a report this week that researchers didn’t disclose in vaccine patents where they got about $25 million in grants from the department’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or Darpa, for its vaccine technology, the newspaper said.

“The company believes it has complied with applicable patent reporting requirements regarding patent filings, including as they relate to the Darpa program,” Ray Jordan, a spokesman for Moderna, said Saturday. The company estimates that Darpa funding was about $50 million, or 1% of its $5.1 billion total private funding.

The newspaper cited Darpa spokesman Jared Adams as saying that all awards to Moderna included the need to report the role of government funding, adding that “Darpa is actively researching agency awards to Moderna to identify which patents and pending patents, if any at all, may be associated with Darpa support.”

At least one Darpa-linked patent shows government support was disclosed.

The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based company said earlier this week it’s in talks with Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare to potentially supply the country with 40 million or more doses of its vaccine candidate against Covid-19. It also unveiled new findings relating to its trial.

Summary of Humanized Mouse Model Workshop

On December 18, 2018, NIAID, in coordination with the NIH Office of the Director and HHS, organized a workshop to assess recent advances and opportunities in the development and use of humanized immune system (HIS) mouse models, in which the immune system of the mouse is partially replaced with human immune cells and tissues. Participants included leading scientists in the fields of immune system development and function, transplant immunology, autoimmunity, and infectious disease research. Adm Brett Giroir, Assistant Secretary of HHS, welcomed the participants and described HHS interest in this area, including a clearer understanding of the limitations and adequacy of existing HIS models, and the possibility of developing scientifically validated alternatives to the use of human fetal tissue. Dr. Daniel Rotrosen, Director of the Division of Allergy, Immunology and Transplantation at NIAID, provided an overview of the workshop goals and expected outcomes, including: evaluation of the features, strengths and limitations of current HIS mouse models; procedures to compare HIS models made from fetal and non-fetal tissue sources; and studies that would be required to fully characterize and standardize these models. Dr. Lawrence Tabak, NIH Principal Deputy Director, provided brief introductory comments on behalf of NIH.

Dr. Leonard Shultz provided a comprehensive summary of HIS mouse model development and usage from 1988 to the present. In following breakout sessions, participants discussed the strengths and limitations of various HIS mouse models and provided opinions on ways to optimize HIS models for the development of vaccines and therapeutics for infectious and immune-mediated diseases and cancer. The meeting participants reconvened for reports from the two breakout groups and a final discussion, that resulted in the following summary points:

Major scientific advances have been made in understanding infectious disease pathogenesis and development of therapeutics using HIS mouse models made with human fetal tissues.
No single humanized immune system model is universally appropriate or optimal for all applications.
Various models can recapitulate key aspects of human T cell immunity; existing models are less able to recapitulate human innate immunity and antibody responses regardless of tissue source. Improvements in modeling antibody responses should be a focus of future work and may be particularly important for advances in vaccinology; and in modeling infectious, autoimmune, and allergic diseases.
Few direct comparisons have been conducted of HIS mice derived using fetal vs. non-fetal human tissue sources.
Meeting participants included investigators working on fetal tissue-derived and non-fetal tissue-derived HIS models. Considering published data and other information shared at this meeting, participants expressed the opinion that fetal tissue-derived HIS models remain the “gold standard” to which other model systems should be compared. This preference is based on the preponderance of data indicating superior engraftment, differentiation, survival and function of the adaptive immune cells (particularly T cells) in fetal tissue-derived models.
Following the breakout sessions, there was strong opinion that work should proceed on a variety of models derived with fetal tissues or from alternative sources.

Meet The Perfidious Sister Dede Byrne & Her Trafficking Tiny Humans Lab Rat RNC Convention Speech - Of Parental Rights & The Archdiocese Of Detroit Indelible Seal Situation

Little Workers of the Sacred Hearts - Haiti

For those of you who are starting to understand the concept of property ownership, you can see, here, in the desperate attempt of Sister Dede Byrne, to stop the heavens from falling.

In chrisitanity, one is born into debt, which is a sin, because a tiny human cannot own property, and must repay that debt by giving oneself over to god, but think of it more in terms of signing over all rights to your intellectual property, name, Social Security Number, inheritances, or heirlooms, because they have maintained a society for you to either grow up to make the church more money or, must pay for your keep as an indigent, because they run the human services, including R&D.

Just ask the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, or the Vatican's Prolife Children's Trust Fund.

Children and land are fungible under property law.

It seems Little Workers of the Sacred Hearts have never, ever filed to keep and bear the arms of the United States, only because there are no instruments of authority filed with the IRS, nor state grants to bear arms to engage in commerce.

When you control the children & land, you own the vote, under the seal, which is not a U.S. seal, called gerrymandering, under the fealty to a foreign indelible seal.

Praise the lord.

Now, let us take a few moments to watch her speech on why modern day human trafficking is the work of the lord for tiny human lab rats are needed to continue medical research for all humans.

Hey, If Jesus died for the sins of humanity, then, "The Poors" (always said with clinched teeth) should let their tiny humans be lab rats.

You know, like letting your kids die as human research test subjects for your drugs so Team Jesus can keep funding political campaigns, to keep on procuring those R&D tiny human lab rat experiments, to keep the coffers of their children's trust funds full, because they are going broke, very, very fast.

"Is she related to Patrick Byrne?"

So, what is an indelible seal?

According to Pope Francis:

The Indelible Seal

At the General Audience the Pontiff speaks of Baptism
Through Baptism "we are reborn as children of God for ever!". Pope Francis emphasized this key concept to the faithful who had gathered in Saint Peter's Square for the General Audience on Wednesday, 9 May [2018]. Continuing the series of catecheses dedicated to the sacrament of Christian initiation, the Pontiff spoke about the central rite of "the holy immersion" accompanied by the invocation of the Holy Trinity. The following is a translation of the Pontiff's reflection, which he shared in Italian.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Good morning! 

The catechesis on the Sacrament of Baptism leads us to speak today about the holy immersion accompanied by the invocation of the Holy Trinity, that is, the central rite, which actually “baptizes” — that is, immerses — one in the Paschal Mystery of Christ (cf.Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 1239). Saint Paul recalls the significance of this rite to the Christians of Rome, first asking: “Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?”, and then responding: “We were buried [...] with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead [...], we too might walk in newness of life” (Rom 6:4). Baptism opens for us the door to a life of resurrection, not to a worldly life. A life according to Jesus.
The baptismal font is the place in which one experiences the Easter Passover with Christ! The old man, with his “deceitful lusts” is buried (cf. Eph 4:22), so that a new creature may be born; truly the old things have passed away and new things are born (cf. 2 Cor 5:17). The “Catechetical Lectures” attributed to Saint Cyril of Jerusalem thus explain to the newly baptized what has happened to them in the water of Baptism. This is Saint Cyril’s beautiful explanation: “And at the self-same moment you were both dying and being born; and that Water of salvation was at once your grave and your mother” (n. 20, On the Mysteries, ii, 4-6; pg 33, 1079-1082). The rebirth of the new man requires that the man corrupted by sin be reduced to dust. The images of the tomb and of the maternal womb referring to the font, indeed, clearly express what great things come about through the simple rite of Baptism. I like the inscription found on the ancient Roman Lateran Baptistry, which reads, in Latin, this expression attributed to Pope Sixtus III: “Mother Church conceives her offspring by the breath of God, and bears them virginally in this water. Hope for the Kingdom of Heaven, you who are reborn in this font”.1 It is beautiful: the Church that bears us, the Church which is womb, is our mother through Baptism. 

If our parents have generated us in earthly life, the Church has regenerated us to eternal life in Baptism. We have become children in her Son Jesus (cf. Rom 8:15; Gal 4:5-7). Upon each one of us too, born anew through the water and through the Holy Spirit, the heavenly Father makes his voice resonate with infinite love, saying “You are my beloved son” (cf. Mt 3:17). This paternal voice, imperceptible to the ear but well audible to the heart of those who believe, accompanies us throughout our life, never abandoning us. Throughout our life the Father tells us: “You are my beloved son; you are my beloved daughter”. God loves us so much, as a Father, and never forsakes us. It is so from the moment of Baptism. We are reborn as children of God for ever! Indeed, Baptism is not repeated, because it imprints an indelible spiritual seal: “No sin can erase this mark, even if sin prevents Baptism from bearing the fruits of salvation” (ccc, n. 1272). 

The seal of Baptism is never lost! “Father, but if a person becomes an infamous brigand, who kills people, who inflicts injustice, does the seal not disappear?”. No. To his own shame a child of God is the person who does these things; but the seal does not go away. And he continues to be a child of God, who opposes God; but God never disowns his children. Do you understand this last point? God never disowns his children. Shall we all repeat it together? “God never disowns his children”. A little louder, because either I am hearing impaired or I did not understand: [they repeat, louder] “God never disowns his children”. There, that was better. 

Incorporated in Christ through Baptism, the baptized are thus conformed to him, “the first-born son among many brethren” (Rom 8:29). Through the action of the Holy Spirit, Baptism purifies, sanctifies, justifies, to form in Christ, of many, one single body (1 Cor 6:11, 12, 13). The crismal anointing “signifies the royal priesthood of the baptized and enrollment into the company of the people of God” (Rite of Baptism for Children, n. 18:3). Hence the priest anoints the head of every baptized person with the sacred chrism after pronouncing these words which explain the significance: God himself “anoints you with the chrism of salvation, so that, united with his people, you may remain for ever a member of Christ who is Priest, Prophet, and King” (ibid., n. 62). Brothers and sisters, here lies the entire Christian vocation: to live united to Christ in the holy Church, participants in the same consecration in order to carry out the same mission, in this world, bearing fruits that endure for ever. Enlivened by the One Spirit, in fact, the whole People of God participates in the offices of Jesus Christ, “Priest, Prophet and King”, and “bears the responsibilities for mission and service that flow from them”. (ccc, nn. 783-386). 

What does it mean to participate in the royal and prophetic priesthood of Christ? It means making of oneself an offering acceptable to God (cf. Rom 12:1), bearing witness to him through a life of faith and charity (cf. Lumen Gentium, n. 12), placing it at the service of others, after the example of the Lord Jesus (cf. Mt 20:25-28; Jn 13:13-17). Thank you.

Dearborn Catholic priest finds his baptism was invalid, impacting parishioners' sacraments

Editor's note: The original version of this story included baptisms in a list of affected sacraments. However, baptisms performed by the Rev. Matthew Hood remain valid as baptisms can be performed by anyone, not just priests. The story has been corrected.

A Dearborn priest has learned his baptism was invalid after a notice from the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith that baptisms using specific language were unacceptable.

Father Matthew Hood, of the Archdiocese of Detroit assigned to the Divine Child Parish in Dearborn, learned he was not a baptized Catholic on Aug. 6 after watching a family video of his baptism. He found the deacon, Deacon Mark Springer, used improper language.

In the note from the Vatican, if particular words were changed, then the baptisms were not valid — two words specifically: We and I.  To say, “We baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” inaccurately portrays the sacrament of baptism. Instead, ministers must "allow Jesus to speak through them," by saying, "I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

“It is the duty of the local Church to ensure that everyone entrusted into her care has the full benefit and certainty that come from the valid reception of the sacraments, which have been given to us to keep us as secure as possible on the path to heaven," Archbishop Allen Vigneron said in a release. "On behalf of our local Church, I am deeply sorry that this human error has resulted in disruption to the sacramental lives of some members of the faithful. I will take every step necessary to remedy the situation for everyone impacted."

For those who received sacraments like marriage and confessions from Hood, pastors will be directing an outreach to find solutions to any situations that may have been affected. Affected parishes include St. Anastasia, where Springer was assigned, and the Church of the Divine Child, where Hood has served since 2017. Parishioners who received sacraments at St. Lawrence in Utica, where Hood was newly assigned this summer, may also be affected.

Baptisms performed by Hood are valid, however, as baptisms can be performed by anyone, not just priests. Those who received baptisms from him do not have to seek remediation from other priests.

“One of my first concerns when I found out was about everyone this affects. As a priest, I want to be able to reach out to them and tell them this is something that’s very strange and probably painful, but I’ve gone through this as well, and I want to help you to remediate this problem so we can be certain you’ve received the grace of the sacraments,” Hood said in a release. “It’s a grace to realize that God is not a liar. Any experience of the sacraments, even if they were celebrated invalidly, God was still present, and God still honors that. God doesn’t repent of our desire for Him and this call that He’s given to us to follow Him and be faithful to Him."

Hood contacted the Archdiocese after realizing his baptism was invalid and was able to fix his situation. He received valid Sacraments of Christian Initiation, spent time on retreat, then he received the Sacraments of Holy Orders. Hood was then ordained a transitional deacon before receiving priestly ordination Monday evening.

It seems we have some contract, land ownership and parental right issues going on.
