By DEXTER DUGGAN PHOENIX — In the half-century after the U.S. Supreme Court invented the national “right” to permissive abortion, some things changed and some remained the same.The biggest change was that the court finally admitted in 2022 that it had been completely wrong in 1973. It overturned its Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions of January 22, 1973, with Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization on June 24, 2022.It had been a historic journey from the bleak cold of deep winter, back when today’s septuagenarians were in their 20s, to the official arrival of summer on June 21, with septuagenarian and unrepentant pro-abortion President Joe Biden turning 80 the following November, a seriously impaired man with one…Continue Reading

By PETER PINEDO WASHINGTON, D.C.

By EDWARD PENTIN How serious is the current crisis in the Vatican and the Church and what does it portend for the future?To obtain a clearer idea, I spoke with Fr. Nicola Bux, a respected theologian and former consultor to both the then-Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and the Congregation for the Causes of Saints.In this interview, Fr.

Bux says. “Half of the cardinal electors…Continue Reading
