Media Deceivers On Border… Help Prolong A Crisis That Costs Invaders’ Lives

June 30, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off on Media Deceivers On Border… Help Prolong A Crisis That Costs Invaders’ Lives

By DEXTER DUGGAN PHOENIX — Afternoon host James T. Harris on major Phoenix-based radio talk station KFYI (550 AM) was outraged at continued blatant manipulation by dominant media over the border crisis that agonizes not only his own Grand Canyon State nor simply the entire Southwest frontier but all of the United States. Speaking about the tragic new photo of a drowned border-jumping Salvadoran father and his lifeless toddler daughter with her arm wrapped around him on the banks of the Rio Grande, Harris reminded listeners on June 26 that only a few months ago, a united front of open-borders Democrats and their media allies had erected an impregnable wall of denial. There was absolutely no border crisis except a…Continue Reading

Is Joe Biden Toast?

June 29, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off on Is Joe Biden Toast?

By CHRISTOPHER MANION When I started working on Capitol Hill in 1981, Sen. Joe Biden had been there for eight years. A Senate old-timer warned me, “He’ll be here forever,” and he was right: In a poll that year, two-thirds of the people in his home state of Delaware said they knew Joe Biden personally. He went on to serve as senator and presiding officer of the Senate for 36 more years. Biden was a Senate powerhouse. He chaired the Judiciary Committee and led the campaign to defeat the nomination of Robert Bork in 1987. His fellow pro-abortion Catholic Ralph Neas (Notre Dame Class of 1968) played an indispensable role in that fiasco. When Barak Obama arrived in the Senate…Continue Reading

Interview With Professor Pierluigi Guiducci … Symposium Honors Pope Pius’ Monumental Work Of Charity As “Defensor Civitatis”

June 28, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off on Interview With Professor Pierluigi Guiducci … Symposium Honors Pope Pius’ Monumental Work Of Charity As “Defensor Civitatis”

By ALBERTO CAROSA ROME — “Comitato Papa Pacelli — Associazione Pio XII,” an organization for the beatification of the World War II-era Pontiff led by Roman Rota attorney Emilio Artiglieri, organized a symposium to commemorate the great work of charity of this Pope on behalf of the Eternal City on June 4, 2019, precisely on the day which marked the 75th anniversary of the salvation of Rome. What the Venerable Pope Pius XII did in these dramatic circumstances to spare Rome from the destruction of the war earned him the title of Defensor Civitatis (Defender of the City). Professor Pier Luigi Guiducci was a keynote speaker at the event, which was presided over by Dominique Cardinal Mamberti, the prefect of…Continue Reading

Pockets Of Light . . . Let’s Stand By Our Good Shepherds

June 27, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off on Pockets Of Light . . . Let’s Stand By Our Good Shepherds

By JOSEPH MATT Amidst all the chaos, scandals, ambiguous interpretations, and assaults on Catholic teaching within the Church today — it is difficult not to be discouraged as a Catholic. The continuing barrage of scandal and apostasy emanating from the highest positions in the Church occurs on a weekly basis. The forces of evil and the tide of our culture at times can seem overwhelming. One could easily conclude by reflecting on many of today’s headlines that there appears to be little hope for a stronger and revitalized Church in the days ahead. But by taking a closer look beyond the typical news from the Vatican or the USCCB, we can see some pockets of light where true Catholic leadership…Continue Reading

New Sanctuary-City Movement… Starts To Stir For Preborn Babies

June 26, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off on New Sanctuary-City Movement… Starts To Stir For Preborn Babies

By DEXTER DUGGAN New York’s Empire State Building was completed 88 years ago and, at 102 stories, once was the world’s tallest building. Getting close to a century old now, it was soundly built. Its foundation wasn’t 50 toothpicks stuck into quicksand. Aside from the possibility of twenty-first century terrorism, there are no frequent alerts that the skyscraper is about to collapse. The U.S. Supreme Court’s astounding invention of national permissive abortion through Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton in January 1973 is getting close to a half-century old. Warnings of their dangerous instability and possible collapse are frequent. That’s because this trickery has no trustworthy foundation, only hocus-pocus. As one of the two dissenting justices, Byron White, said…Continue Reading

A Potpourri… Women’s Rights, The Sexual Revolution, And The Jesuits

June 25, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off on A Potpourri… Women’s Rights, The Sexual Revolution, And The Jesuits

By GEORGE A. KENDALL Not long ago, I saw a headline on the Internet, indicating that Pope Francis is calling for the Church to support women’s rights. I can hardly object, because the Church has a duty to support everyone’s rights in principle — that is, as long as we are talking about legitimate rights, rights grounded in the order of creation, especially in the nature of man as God created him. Many, even in the Church, seem to see this distinction as unnecessary, because they assume that the rights demanded by feminists (in many, many decibels and with much profanity) are the legitimate ones. Just one example: Feminists see a key right of women as the right to work…Continue Reading

Getting By With A Little Help From Our Friend

June 24, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off on Getting By With A Little Help From Our Friend

By DEACON MIKE MANNO, JD As I write this, the week’s news, both political and legal, provides plenty of grist for a column, but I’ve decided to ignore those things and do something I don’t often do. I’m going to write about something personal, something close to my heart. It’s about a close friend of mine that didn’t get the job for which she applied. The topic came to me over lunch while I was reading a column by Pieter Vree in this month’s New Oxford Review. Vree was writing about “The Myth of Meritocracy.” Meritocracy is the concept that suggests that status is earned, not inherited. He quotes British author Michael Young, in his 1958 bestselling book, The Rise…Continue Reading

Dems Seem To Think . . . Both Voters And God Will Ignore Their Rampant Extremism

June 23, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off on Dems Seem To Think . . . Both Voters And God Will Ignore Their Rampant Extremism

By DEXTER DUGGAN With all of the Democratic Party’s presidential candidates for 2020 agreeing on radical pro-abortion extremism that most Americans reject, even though the Dem contenders need majority voter support, what’s around the corner if Democrats retake national power next year while an adoring media would glow with glee over new political strength for the Culture of Death? “Diversity” in the Democratic Party’s presidential race means a large group of variegated candidates all saying the same thing. “I don’t think there is room in our party for a Democratic candidate who does not support women’s full reproductive freedom,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand was quoted by the Des Moines Register, which posted: “During a meeting with the Register’s editorial board on…Continue Reading

USCCB Meeting Highlights Are Pretty Dim

June 22, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off on USCCB Meeting Highlights Are Pretty Dim

By CHRISTOPHER MANION America’s bishops meet twice a year, and this June’s meeting was supposed to be a doozy. In the past twelve months, two explosive scandals have rocked the U.S. hierarchy. On June 20, 2018, New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan revealed the charges of abuse and coverup against retired Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, one of the most powerful American prelates of the past century. Then came the allegations of Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò. Hiding in fear of his life, the former Vatican Nuncio to the United States detailed the extent to which the McCarrick Machine’s Sodomite Syndicate had penetrated the American Church. By last fall, the public outrage had reached a decibel level that had not been heard since 2002,…Continue Reading

Democrats Fight To “Out-Abort” Each Other In 2020 Races

June 21, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off on Democrats Fight To “Out-Abort” Each Other In 2020 Races

By REY FLORES It’s official. It’s off to the races! The 2020 presidential race is on and it’s going to be a hoot! I can’t wait to hear what humorous monikers President Trump coins for the two-dozen delusional Democrat candidates who think they stand a chance against the greatest political movement in American history. The Democrats really do not understand the American people at all, at least not the sane ones. It’s probably not so much that they do not understand people like you and me, but that they refuse to try and accept the reality which so justly keeps backfiring on them every time they think they’ve got us beat. From the ludicrous Russian collusion fairytales to the Supreme…Continue Reading
