Respect For The Most Holy Eucharist

March 10, 2020 Frontpage Comments Off on Respect For The Most Holy Eucharist

Part 2 Thanks be to God, most people where I’ve been are generally respectful, but there’ve been some terrible abuses to the Eucharist reported over the years. For example, it was horrifying to read about pastors finding consecrated Hosts stuck beneath the pews like chewing gum, or people putting Hosts in their pockets. This sort of thing comes from two factors: a lack of solid catechesis about the Real Presence of Christ in the Most Holy Eucharist, and feeling pressured to receive Jesus during Communion time at Mass. Surveys show that a full 70 percent of Mass-attending Catholics in America don’t believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Most believe It is merely a symbol and nothing…Continue Reading

Parents Beware!

March 9, 2020 Frontpage Comments Off on Parents Beware!

By DEACON MIKE MANNO, JD I’ve often opined that it is not necessarily the national government that is the greatest threat to our freedom, Christian or otherwise. All one has to do is to review the activities of our local boards and commissions to see that oft-times it is our local and state authorities who provide the greatest threats. We have seen, for example, how the partisan attorneys general in several states, notably California, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, have used their state offices to investigate legitimate faith-based organizations. And on the local level there are countless disputes over such things as zoning for churches and other religious facilities, prayer in city-owned elderly housing complexes, and discrimination against religious entities in the…Continue Reading

Meanwhile, Catholics Get The Boot . . . Biden Surges Forward But Retreats From Grasping Reality

March 8, 2020 Frontpage Comments Off on Meanwhile, Catholics Get The Boot . . . Biden Surges Forward But Retreats From Grasping Reality

By DEXTER DUGGAN Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s unexpected vote-winning surge on Super Tuesday raised some embarrassing, although possibly unlikely, questions for Catholics. If Biden were to go on to be elected president in 2020, while Democrats maintained their majority in the House of Representatives, two of the top elected positions in the U.S. government would be held by radically pro-abortion bad Catholics — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.), who is second in line of succession to the presidency, as well as Biden. And if Biden happened to have chosen a bad Catholic to be his vice president, it’d be a Democrat bad Catholic trifecta. What a deep, miserable shame — not that red-handed pro-abortion bad Catholics already in…Continue Reading

Catholic Joe Is On A Roll

March 7, 2020 Frontpage Comments Off on Catholic Joe Is On A Roll

By CHRISTOPHER MANION On the morning after Super Tuesday, Joe Biden beamed. He had beaten Bernie ten states to four. Amy Klobuchar and Mayor Pete had dropped out as dramatically as possible, with a pointed message: on election eve they appeared to endorse Joe on stage in Texas, and he took Texas the next day. Will Joe be the nominee? On election night he sounded confident, ignoring Sanders and targeting Donald Trump. He told the crowd, “This all starts with a revival of decency and honor and character. Trump has fanned the flames of hate and sought to divide us….We are literally in a battle for the soul of America…winning means uniting America, not sowing seeds of division and anger…Continue Reading

Diocese Of Buffalo Files For Bankruptcy

March 6, 2020 Frontpage Comments Off on Diocese Of Buffalo Files For Bankruptcy

By MATT HADRO BUFFALO, N.Y. (CNA) — The Diocese of Buffalo announced on February 28 that it is declaring bankruptcy as hundreds of abuse lawsuits have been filed against it in the last several months. The diocese said it was formally filing for Chapter 11 reorganization under the U.S. bankruptcy code to provide the most compensation for victims of clergy sex abuse while continuing the day-to-day work of its Catholic mission. “Our decision to pursue Chapter 11 reorganization — arrived at after much prayer, discernment and consultation with the College of Consultors and our Diocesan Finance Council — is based on our belief that this approach will enable the most number of victim-survivors of past sexual abuse in achieving fairness…Continue Reading

How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place, O Lord Of Hosts!

March 5, 2020 Frontpage Comments Off on How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place, O Lord Of Hosts!

By JAMES MONTI Recently I had the privilege of attending a special sung Votive Mass of the Holy Angels in the Most Holy Trinity Catholic Chapel at the West Point Military Academy. Although it was obvious that the chapel had undergone some “postconciliar style” renovations, I found it deeply impressive, with a large traditional veiled and crowned tabernacle at the center of the sanctuary, flanked by two huge silver candlesticks, with a large silver sanctuary lamp suspended above. The two candlesticks and the lamp seemed as if they had been made for a great Spanish cathedral. Four posts of a tall curtain screen behind the tabernacle were topped by carved figures of angels holding miniature candlesticks, which, I would imagine,…Continue Reading

Even Though Citizens Oppose Invasion . . . Open-Borders Powers Again Throw Their Weight Around

March 4, 2020 Frontpage Comments Off on Even Though Citizens Oppose Invasion . . . Open-Borders Powers Again Throw Their Weight Around

By DEXTER DUGGAN PHOENIX — After Tucson voters decisively rejected a sanctuary-city ballot measure last November, it seemed plain that even more-liberal areas of the Grand Canyon State showed their opposition to the dangers of massive illegal immigration, despite unauthorized entry being promoted everywhere in the establishment from secular Democratic Party leftists to Catholic Church bureaucrats. Tucson’s liberal-inclined Arizona Daily Star posted on Wednesday, November 6, “Tucson voters overwhelmingly opted against the ‘sanctuary city’ initiative, which would have limited the circumstances in which police officers could ask about immigration status. “Partial results for Proposition 205, also known as The Tucson Families Free and Together Initiative, showed 58,820 voters, or 71 percent, voted ‘no’ on the proposal compared to just 23,562,…Continue Reading

Respect For The Most Holy Eucharist

March 3, 2020 Frontpage Comments Off on Respect For The Most Holy Eucharist

BY JOE SIXPACK Part I God exists as a triune Being. He is one and the same God in three divine Persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The three persons are one, yet distinct. Time, space, and dimension are boundaries of nature established for nature by the Supernature — God. Therefore, He’s not bound by those boundaries, but rather imposes them on us. Because He’s not bound by time, space, and dimension, He experiences everything in the present. You and I can recall what happened a moment ago, anticipate what may happen a moment from now, and experience the present in…well, the present. For God, though, He experiences everything — from the creation of the universe to the end of…Continue Reading

Girls Stand Up And Fight Back

March 2, 2020 Frontpage Comments Off on Girls Stand Up And Fight Back

By DEACON MIKE MANNO, JD For the life of me, I cannot figure out why it is so hard for some people to figure out who is a boy and who is a girl. Now I understand that there are some men who are attracted to other men, and conversely there are some women who are attracted to other women. I also know that some people with same-sex attractions would like to be rid of that attraction, yet in many locales there are laws prohibiting counselors and therapists from helping them escape from the purgatory in which they reside. The reason, of course, is politics. There are too many politicians — and one political party — who have made it…Continue Reading

Sharing Their Votes With Other Candidates?. . . That’s Not Part Of Dem Hopefuls’ Socialist Vision

March 1, 2020 Frontpage Comments Off on Sharing Their Votes With Other Candidates?. . . That’s Not Part Of Dem Hopefuls’ Socialist Vision

By DEXTER DUGGAN The best test of Bernie Sanders’ self-proclaimed socialism is how ready he is to share his trove of votes from the first three presidential contests with needier Democrat candidates. Does millionaire Sanders really need, for instance, his high-calorie 41,000-plus votes from the Nevada caucuses where impoverished, famished billionaire Tom Steyer was practically a sidewalk beggar, with a bit more than 4,000 votes? Or how about vote-starved, gaunt multimillionaire Elizabeth Warren, whose tattered purse held fewer than 12,000 votes from Nevada? In the name of equality and the sort of justice that means you get to grab some of someone else’s possessions, how could Bernie possibly deny Warren, say, 15,000 of his bloated winnings? You say that the…Continue Reading
