'Robin' Westman
The shooter at the Novus Ordo Annunciation Church, Minnesota, Robert Westman, was a baptised Catholic and former pupil at Annunciation School. His mother had worked at Annunciation and his father celebrated Robert's 18th birthday by flying the trans flag for him on FB. His parents petitioned the court in 2020 to change his legal identity to female. To 'Robin'.
You won't hear of that in the MSM, which lionise transgenderism and its victims, such as the two black children adopted by US actress Charlize Theron, named by Time as "one of the most influential people in the world". Theron turned those little boys into girls as fashion accessories - as actresses do, now.
Democrat Governor Tim Walz (infamous for ordering tampons in schoolboys' bathrooms) declared Minnesota a 'trans refuge state', after years of militant trans propaganda in the US, amplified by Dems and complicit media.
This LGBTQ insanity was fuelled by 'Pope Francis' when in 2018 he allegedly told a young man, "God made you gay". Pray that Pope Leo XIV will refute that diabolical lie and order authentic catechesis to contradict it, in Catholic schools and parishes throughout the world.

American traditional Catholic commentor Ann Barnhardt gives vent to good, old fashioned righteous anger:
I would take this a step further. ANY transvestitism should result in maximum security institutionalization, for the protection of the insane person so they don’t mutilate themselves, and for the protection of the general public.
As in, lock them up in mental hospitals until they recover from their insanity. Because that’s what thinking that you are the opposite sex, or no sex at all is: full-blown, hyper-dangerous insanity.
Start with Bruce Jenner. Then his doctors. Then Ellen Page. Then her doctors.
Then try and imprison or execute every doctor, nurse, psychiatrist, psychologist, hospital administrator, and educator that ever participated in ANY transvestite mutilation procedure or indoctrination.
And any parents who sign off on doing anything involving transvestitism to their children? CAPITAL charges. As in, death penalty on the table.

Westman’s manifesto video showed a sketch of himself as a demon |
On Wednesday morning, a gunman dressed in black opened fire at Annunciation Catholic Church and school in Minneapolis while children were celebrating Mass.
At least two young children were killed, and 17 others, mostly children, were injured. The shooter, who killed himself, identified as trans.
The mass shooting and its media coverage echo what happened more than two years ago in Nashville, when a trans shooter, Audrey “Aiden” Hale, murdered three children and three staff at The Covenant School, a Christian school connected to the Covenant Presbyterian Church.
In that case, the liberal press downplayed or completely ignored Hale’s trans radicalism, despite the disturbing details revealed in her journals.

Now, Democrats and much of the media are concealing the Minneapolis shooter’s identity. The truth: 23-year-old Robin M. Westman, of Minneapolis, was previously known as Robert Paul Westman.
He came from a liberal Saint Paul, Minn. family that fully affirmed his transition as a minor. In 2020, his parents petitioned the court to change his legal identity.

“[‘Robin’] identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification,” his mother, Mary Westman, wrote in the filing. When Robert turned 18, his father, James Westman, marked the occasion with a public Facebook announcement using the trans flag colors.
Like other radicalized school shooters, Westman was extremely active online. He posted a now-deleted YouTube video flaunting his firearms and ammunition magazines, scrawled with messages and symbols: “Where is your God?” one read. “Kill Trump Now!” read another. “ISRAEL MUST FALL.”
On a magazine clip, he wrote, “For the children.” He also made Nazi references, included racist and antisemitic slurs, and listed the names of past mass shooters. His videos showed a shooting target pinned with Jesus’ face, as well as pages of a goodbye letter and manifesto written in a mixture of English and poor Russian using the Cyrillic alphabet.

“Kill Donald Trump … America is being taken over by fascist tyrants,” Westman wrote in the Cyrillic alphabet that has been partially decoded and posted online. (Update: I have independently verified that this section is fully accurate to Westman’s handwritten Cyrillic.)
“They need to pay. People like me need to keep killing until the right people get fed up and decide to get involved and change the system. The current people in power need to be ousted. I call on you, those who want to kill, follow me and kill! Itching for fun or to send a message, it will not be in vain.”
Another decoded section of the manifesto, which I independently verified with a Cyrillic reader, suggests that Westman regretted transitioning but feels it is too late to change.
I am sick of my hair, I want to chop it off! I only keep it because it is pretty much my last charade of being trans. I am tired of being trans, I wish I never brain washed myself. I can’t cut my hair off now as it would be an embarrassing defeat, and it might be a concerning change of character that could get me reported.
He added elsewhere: “I wish I was a girl. I just know I cannot achieve that body with the technology we have today.”
Stickered on the manifesto journal was the Pride progress flag, which includes the trans and BLM colors, and a rifle and the text, “DEFEND EQUALITY.”
Minnesota lieutenant governor, Peggy Flanagan. With her in charge, what could go wrong? |
This ultra-violence comes against the backdrop of years of militant trans propaganda, often amplified by Democrats and sympathetic media outlets, encouraging activists to take up arms against Christians, “transphobes,” and so-called fascists.
In March 2023, Minnesota’s lieutenant governor, Peggy Flanagan, a Democrat, wore a shirt depicting a knife with the threat: “Protect Trans Kids.” She wore it during a press conference celebrating Governor Tim Walz’s executive order declaring Minnesota a “trans refuge” state. The shirt has become popular among radical trans activists, many of whom pose with weapons while wearing it.
Progressives love this Democrat's trans-equality T-shirt |
I have also been reporting for months about the so-called “Zizians,” the name given to a former Bay Area-based trans death cult linked to eight brutal homicides and suicides. Its members followed a radical anarchist and woke-tinged ideology that claimed transphobes were targeting them.
As a result, they stockpiled weapons and lived in box trucks. And then a lot of people died. The liberal media have mostly ignored the story. (Related: If you knew any of them, their families or their victims, please get in touch with me at andyngomedia@gmail.com.)
At a press conference by woke Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey (D) on Wednesday afternoon about the shooting, he gave a short speech where he condemned transphobia.
“I have heard about a whole lot of hate that’s being directed at our trans community,” he lamented, saying that those who did so had “lost their sense of common humanity.”
The liberal media is complicit as well. Across the country, sympathetic outlets have run puff pieces legitimizing paranoia among trans radicals who claim they must form anarchist or communist militias and arm themselves to “bash back” against the U.S. government under President Trump.
The violent imagery is widespread: another common shirt they wear reads, “TRANS RIGHTS… OR ELSE,” accompanied by graphics of firearms.
Earlier this year, I visited the Covenant Presbyterian Church in Nashville. The quiet was unsettling for a Sunday. There were no worshippers when I was there. Looking through the windows, I could see the school hallways where Audrey Hale rampaged with a rifle and two pistols on March 27, 2023.
A day before my visit, I spoke with a Metropolitan Nashville Police Department contractor who had collected evidence from the massacre. He told me he will never forget the smell of blood inside the school.
Now the children and teachers at Annunciation in Minneapolis will live with the same nightmare.

'Pope Francis': Pope Leo XIV must refute his diabolical lie |
Pro-LGBT forces heaped praise on the Pope Francis for his impact on advancing the normalization of homosexuality and transgenderism within the Catholic Church.
Father James Martin, S.J., praised Pope Francis for being an “imperfect” “champion” for gender-confused and homosexual people in the pages of the New York Times, saying he did more for “L.G.B.T.Q. people – than all his modern predecessors combined.”
Sadly, the opposite is true: Francis did more to set back the cause of those of us who daily deal with unwanted same-sex attraction and gender confusion than perhaps any man in history.
At best, Francis engendered LGBT ambiguity within the Church. At worst, he introduced diabolical lies and permitted them to flourish, countering both Gospel truth and sage, best practices for pastoring the same-sex attracted and gender confused.
Who knows what role Francis’ infamous, “Who am I to judge (homosexuals)?” in 2013 may have played in accelerating western civilization’s speedy acceptance of same-sex “marriage” in the years immediately following?
And who knows what role his welcoming of drag queens and transgendered individuals to the Vatican and referring to men dressed as women as “girls” may have played in the spread of the transgender contagion among young people?
The Catholic Church'ss first 'World Children's Day': the Vatican invited a drag queen to perform |
And while “Who am I to judge?” may have been his most famous dangerous quip, there was another in 2018 that was far more treacherous.
In 2018, Francis allegedly told a young man, “God made you gay.”
Until the day he died, Francis and his handlers never made a move to deny the statement, so it still hangs like a cloud in the air over the Vatican and the Church around the world.
Francis presented a gospel foreign to Catholic ears. Even to many same-sex-attracted Catholics like me, it was not only foreign; it rang wholly untrue. ...
Lfesite reached out to same-sex attracted people for comment:
"It is deeply disturbing to believe that leaders of the Roman Catholic Church are more concerned about winning people’s affection and approval than the fate of their eternal souls.”
“This certainly makes it a lot harder for those of us who are same-sex attracted and trying to obey the Church’s timeless teachings to do so – or even feel like we are truly welcome in the new, paradigm-shifting Church,” said T.B. “Belonging to a Church whose leaders don’t even believe in its teachings does seem kind of dumb.”
“God is not the author of confusion,” Corneal continued. “He would not make me gay and then condemn it in His infallible Word. When God opened my eyes to the deception and gave me the healing I needed, I was able to finally walk away from that life. I choose to listen to God, not the Pope.”
There (was) just one cardinal (at) the conclave who is crystal clear, fearless, and uncompromising with the truth when it comes to pastoring those of us who experience same-sex attraction and gender confusion: Cardinal Robert Sarah.
Sarah wrote in 2019. “I beg Catholics who are tempted by homosexuality not to let themselves be shut away in this prison of LGBT ideology. You are a child of God by baptism! Your place is in the Church, like all Christians. And if sometimes the spiritual combat becomes too hard, fraternal charity will support you.”
“As for the churchmen who deliberately entertain ambiguities about the Christian view of homosexual behavior by saying that, morally speaking, all forms of sexuality are strictly equal, I tell them that they are doing the work of the prince of lies and that they lack charity.
"I would simply like to remind priests about the words of Saint Irenaeus of Lyon in Against heresies: “Error, indeed, is never set forth in its naked deformity, lest, being thus exposed, it should at once be detected. But it is craftily decked out in an attractive dress, so as, by its outward form, to make it appear to the inexperienced (ridiculous as the expression may seem) more true than the truth itself.” Let us beware of becoming accomplices!"https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/enough-of-francis-inspired-pro-lgbt-blasphemy-cardinal-sarahs-time-has-come/
