\u2026 Like to remind us that we should be making serious reparations for our sins and the sins of others. <\/p>\n

August 6, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) \u2013 Although Facebook has blocked accounts belonging to Christian ministries, Sarah Palin fans, and a Fox News commentator as offensive, a page that states the \u201cVirgin Mary Should\u2019ve Aborted\u201d<\/em> is still going strong.<\/p>\n

The blasphemous page\u2019s administrators \u2013 who say they are women in their 20s going by the names \u201cZ\u201d and \u201cLilith\u201d so believers \u201cdon\u2019t hunt us down and kill us for our beliefs\u201d \u2013 revile all religious belief and believers while glorifying abortion and drug use. <\/p>\n

The website says that God raped the Virgin Mary and that the world would be better off if Jesus Christ had been aborted.[Source<\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Things like this don\u2019t anger so much as frighten me. Everybody knows talking about someone else\u2019s momma are fighting words. I don\u2019t imagine God finds much humor in the mockery of His Mother or the idea that His Son should have been aborted. <\/p>\n

And While it\u2019s doubtful Facebook will take any action against the offending page we can still actively counter the effects of such blasphemies. But with a \u201ctweetfest\u201d and a half an hour<\/em> of prayer? That\u2019s cute. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our Lady of Fatima is not impressed<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Our Lady\u2019s plan is founded on three simple, but powerful requests. The first is a request for prayer, most particularly the Holy Rosary<\/a> prayed daily<\/em> and the devotion of the Brown Scapular<\/a>. The second calls for us to make reparation for the sins and outrages perpetrated against God\u2019s Grace and blasphemies against the Holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary. The third request is for consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary<\/a><\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh, and then there\u2019s going to mass the first five Saturdays<\/a>. Which means you may have to go to mass TWO days in a row! Horror of horrors! <\/p>\n

So yeah\u2026 make serious<\/em> reparations, people. Pray like your life and the life of someone else depends on it, because it literally does. Being an internet slacktivist<\/a> isn\u2019t going to keep anyone out of hell. <\/p>\n

UPDATED 8\/7\/2013 @ 9:40 pm<\/strong> \u2013 Surprisingly, Facebook did remove the page. It took all of 4 seconds for the admins to get it up and running again at \u201cVirgin Mary STILL Should\u2019ve Aborted<\/a>\u201c. Like cockroaches. A few people have me asked how to report it specifically as hate speech since Facebook has made all those recent changes\u2026 so here goes. <\/p>\n

1- Click on the down arrow next to \u201cMessage\u201d
\n2- Select \u201creport\u201d
\n3- Click on \u201cIt shouldn\u2019t be on facebook\u201d<\/strong> ONLY way to report hate speech
\n4- It will give you some choices as to why. Click \u201chate speech\u201d
\n5- a menu will give you the option to select \u201cit targets a religious group\u201d
\n6- Lastly, select the box \u201creport to Facebook\u201d
\n7- Pray the rosary for these damn fools. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
