May 8, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on One Year After Dobbs Leak . . . Churches And Pregnancy Centers Recall Pro-Abort Violence

By JOSHUA MERCER Tuesday marked one year since the Supreme Court’s draft opinion in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson was leaked to the public on the night of May 2, 2022.Politico published the leaked opinion, describing it as “a full-throated, unflinching repudiation” of Roe v. Wade. The draft was nearly identical to the actual ruling of the Court that was issued nearly two months later on June 24 — despite multiple threats from pro-abortion activists.These threats included a failed assassination plot on the life of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, whom the leaked decision showed voting with the majority of the Court to overturn Roe. On June 8, between the leak and the final Dobbs decision, the perpetrator traveled armed from…Continue Reading

It Doesn’t Take A State To Raise A Child!

May 4, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on It Doesn’t Take A State To Raise A Child!

By TOM TAKASH The proverb “It takes a village to raise a child” is said to have originated from African cultures and implies the need for many people to help parents provide a safe community for the protection of their child. The thought behind it was first, and foremost, the child’s well-being, but never at the expense of parental authority. The village was thought of as an aid to, but never as a replacement for, the authority of the parents. Until “The Enlightenment,” that thought would dominate the civilized world.Beginning with the French Revolution, the rejection of religious values took hold, and combined with political unrest, Marxist thought gained momentum. The power of the secular state was dramatically increasing. And…Continue Reading

Mary Ever Virgin: The Full Meaning

May 3, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on Mary Ever Virgin: The Full Meaning

By JOHN YOUNG The expression Mary Ever Virgin means more than the statement that she never had sexual intercourse. It means also, as the Church expresses it, that she remained a virgin during the birth of Jesus, in the sense that her body remained unimpaired.The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches: “The deepening of faith in the virginal motherhood led the Church to confess Mary’s real and perpetual virginity even in the act of giving birth to the Son of God made man” (n. 499).This is official Church teaching, but one which many Catholics don’t know. And it goes beyond what conservative Protestants believe. They agree with Catholics that the conception of Jesus was miraculous in that He had no…Continue Reading

Sin And The Synod: An Inquiry

May 2, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on Sin And The Synod: An Inquiry

By CHRISTOPHER MANION If you deserve a severe penance the next time you go to Confession, you might request that your confessor require that you read the “North American Final Document for the Continental Stage of the 2021-2024 Synod.”The “Synodal Process” has received ample attention on these pages already, and our coverage will continue, because this new document augurs ill for the future of the Church.In reading the report, I was reminded of Sherlock Holmes, who once told Watson the secret of his success: “Watson, when I say you are instructive, I mean that I learn from your mistakes.”And mistakes abound in this document, and the authors know it. So they liberally employ the familiar “fog factor.”Consider: “In the Continental…Continue Reading

Real Patriots Cut Taxes, Not Raise Them

May 1, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on Real Patriots Cut Taxes, Not Raise Them

By STEPHEN MOORE On Tax Day this year, about a dozen left-wing millionaires joined with some of the most liberal Democrats in Congress for a Washington, D.C., press conference. The luminaries included Abigail Disney, Walt Disney’s granddaughter, and former BlackRock whiz kid Morris Pearl.The group argued that it wants to pay more taxes and urged new tax laws with a tax rate as high as 90 percent for the super-rich due to concerns, it said, about having too much money, which evidently contributes to income inequality.This “tax me more” coalition calls itself the “Patriotic Millionaires.” Other prominent billionaires such as Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have made the same case that they think they should be paying more taxes.To that,…Continue Reading

A View Of The World From An Unlikely Place

April 30, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on A View Of The World From An Unlikely Place

By DONALD DeMARCO Wendy Ashby, when asked why she was running for a position with the Waterloo Catholic School District Board, responded by stating: “Nothing is more important than our children and their future. Their success is secured through a world-class education system supported through equal opportunity.” She spoke of “inclusive programming that addresses the diverse mental health needs of every child.”Now that she has secured that position, her true colors have emerged. “The most dangerous creature on the planet,” she contends, “is the White Christian Male. They’re [sic] a threat to anyone that is not them.” She spares women such a horrific categorization. However, she does paint “white women” as “obedient soldiers for the Christo-fascist patriarchy.” Neither sex is…Continue Reading

Disney Is Going To Lose (Again) To Florida And Ron DeSantis

April 29, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on Disney Is Going To Lose (Again) To Florida And Ron DeSantis

By JOSH HAMMER The first round of the “Florida and Gov. Ron DeSantis v. The Walt Disney Company” fight, held last spring, ended in a clear DeSantis victory and Disney defeat. Following Disney’s vocal opposition to Florida’s commonsense Parental Rights in Education Act, misleadingly dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, Florida passed a law to abolish the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which in 1967 incentivized Disney’s initial planting of a flag in Central Florida by giving the corporation unparalleled government-like powers over basic municipal services such as zoning, building codes, and waste treatment.Disney thus paid the price for coming out in favor of indoctrinating impressionable kindergarteners in vogue gender ideology and queer theory by having its gratuitous, extra-legal corporate welfare…Continue Reading

Regulatory Octopus Is Strangling Our Economy

April 28, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on Regulatory Octopus Is Strangling Our Economy

By STEPHEN MOORE Every schoolkid knows — or used to know — that the United States has three branches of government. At least that’s what the textbooks say.But really, we have four branches of government.That’s because Congress — the legislative branch — has for decades delegated lawmaking authority to the unconstitutional fourth branch of the U.S. government: independent regulatory agencies. By some estimates, there are more than 300 of these agencies sticking their nose into every aspect of American life and business, from what kind of car you can buy to the temperature setting on your thermostat to what you can build on your own private property.Who are these regulatory czars accountable to? Who elected them?To his credit, former President…Continue Reading

The Pillar And Buttress Of Truth Upholds Catholic Morality

April 27, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on The Pillar And Buttress Of Truth Upholds Catholic Morality

By M.E. GILLSON Recently, social media buzzing with debate over whether the Catholic Church would alter moral teaching on homosexuality. A popular media source had run an article about a cardinal who was, reportedly, close to the Pope, but far from Catholic teaching. Folks in the media seem to relish whipping up confusion and speculation with stories about deviant churchmen and suggestions that the Church will reverse age-old morality. Those who opine that she may, only demonstrate their ignorance of Catholicism.Catholic morality, based on Scripture and two thousands of years of Tradition, aligns with objective truth and cannot be changed by the whims of wayward prelates nor the trends of contemporary society.Moral precepts are developed from the study of Catholic…Continue Reading
