Sam Smith’s Satanic Grammys Performance . . . Shows That Pop Culture Cannot Be Saved

February 22, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on Sam Smith’s Satanic Grammys Performance . . . Shows That Pop Culture Cannot Be Saved

By JONATHON VAN MAREN (Editor’s Note: Last week’s News Notes column in The Wanderer carried a report on this episode at the Grammys.(Jonathon Van Maren is a public speaker, writer, and pro-life activist. His commentary has been translated into more than eight languages and published widely online as well as print newspapers such as the Jewish Independent, the National Post, the Hamilton Spectator, and others.) + + (LifeSiteNews) — I do not watch the Grammys, and I am irritated that the only reason I caught snippets of pop star Sam Smith’s hell-themed demonic performance is because conservatives posted clips of it to Twitter, where I ended up scrolling past it multiple times. Incidentally, that is also how I ended up…Continue Reading

Lent With The Saints

February 21, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on Lent With The Saints

By PAUL KRAUSE Every year, Catholics around the world embark on a journey to grow closer to God during Lent. We are fortunate that in this unified love we can depend on the prayers of Catholics the world over. But we are also fortunate that Catholics of the past are with us on this journey too. One of the great treasures of the Church is the communion of the saints. Every Catholic has a Confirmation name, a name taken from one of the great saints down through history. Unfortunately, many of us know little of our saint or even the many great saints that have given so much nourishment to our faith.In the journey that is Lent, spending time with…Continue Reading

A Legal Victory For Love

February 20, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on A Legal Victory For Love

By FRANK PAVONE My friend Mark Houck has won a great victory, with the help of the Thomas More Society (also my friends), who defend pro-life activists all over the country against the weaponization of the law by pro-abortion people. As you likely have read before, Mark was peacefully praying in front of an abortion mill, and had to defend his son against aggressive pro-abortion harassment.In a move that manifests their arrogance, abortion proponents claimed he violated the FACE law, which says you cannot physically interfere with the provision of reproductive services.Ultimately, the jury disagreed, hence saving not only Mark, but all of us, from a chillingly expansive application of a law that many claim is already unconstitutional.When Bill Clinton…Continue Reading

Is There Any Fun In Fundamentalism?

February 19, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on Is There Any Fun In Fundamentalism?

By DONALD DeMARCO I received a letter from a dear friend who is “steadily pursuing a deeper understanding of the Catholic faith.” Her disclosure pleased me very much. Such a journey, however, is not easy. Anyone these days who is orthodox will be ridiculed in some way. A colleague in her theology class has typed her as a “fundamentalist.” There is hardly a more scorching term in the English language that can be leveled at a person who adheres to the fundamental truths of religion. But it is most unfair. Label is often libel.Presumably, a person is called a fundamentalist for not being progressive. Being “progressive,” on the other hand, places one on a safety island, immune from any criticism.…Continue Reading

America’s Top Source Of Imports In 2022 Governed By Genocidal, Communist Regime

February 18, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on America’s Top Source Of Imports In 2022 Governed By Genocidal, Communist Regime

By TERENCE P. JEFFREY Americans spent more money in 2022 buying imports from a country governed by a genocidal, Communist regime than they spent on imports from any other nation on Earth.Specifically, U.S. imports from China last year equaled $536,754,100,000, according to data published by the Census Bureau.That was more than the $534,507,900,000 that Americans spent on imports from Germany ($146,608,000,000), South Korea ($115,338,200,000), Ireland ($82,034,500,000), Italy ($69,130,000,000), the United Kingdom ($64,018,500,000) and France ($57,378,700,000) combined.The $536,754,100,000 that the United States paid for imports from Communist China last year was also more than what we paid for imports from our neighboring countries of Mexico ($454,930,000,000), which was our second-greatest source of imports, and Canada ($437,729,000,000), which was our third-greatest source.But…Continue Reading

“Apostles To The Slavs”. . . Speaker Looks At Place Of Ninth Century Saints Cyril And Methodius In Church

February 16, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on “Apostles To The Slavs”. . . Speaker Looks At Place Of Ninth Century Saints Cyril And Methodius In Church

By DEXTER DUGGAN PHOENIX — If the immensity of the universe tempts a person to think of the Earth as only one small planet among many, a recent talk about two saints in the ninth-century Catholic Church in the East was a reminder of how many countless developments have occurred in the millennia of history on just this one planet.Saints Cyril and Methodius were fraternal brothers known as The Apostles to the Slavs who labored as missionaries considerably before the historic schism of 1054 went on to split the Church between Rome and Constantinople.Although some people may regard the two men as figures of Eastern Christianity, in their time they were united with Rome while working to bring the faith…Continue Reading

February 15, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on Cardinal McElroy… Again Spreads Confusion About Mortal Sin And Communion

By MATT LAMB (LifeSiteNews) — Robert Cardinal McElroy of the Diocese of San Diego recently joined dissident Jesuit publication America to defend his latest essay that pushed for the Catholic Church to be more accepting of individuals openly living disordered lifestyles, such as homosexuals and gender-confused individuals who pretend to be the other sex. This included giving the Holy Eucharist to homosexuals in mortal sin.In his comments to America, McElroy made additional questionable claims about mortal sins that deserve further scrutiny.One of the questioners from the magazine asked McElroy if he wanted to see the Catechism and Catholic Church teaching changed from saying that individuals in a state of grave sin must not receive the Holy Eucharist until they have…Continue Reading

Bishop Barron . . . Condemns Minnesota Democrats For Legalizing Abortions Up To Birth

February 14, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on Bishop Barron . . . Condemns Minnesota Democrats For Legalizing Abortions Up To Birth

By STEVEN ERTELT ROCHESTER, Minn. (LifeNews) — A Catholic bishop in Minnesota is slamming Democrats there for legalizing abortions up to birth.As reported previously, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz signed a bill into law that legalizes abortions up to birth.Walz signed into law the Protect Reproductive Options (PRO) Act to enshrine in state statute a “fundamental right” to abortion without limits or safeguards. The bill had passed the state House and Senate by narrow margins after Democrat leaders quickly pushed it through the legislature in the opening weeks of the session.Because the new law removes every single abortion limit until birth, the law would allow abortion on demand even late in pregnancy when unborn babies are viable and can feel excruciating…Continue Reading

Cardinal Pell . . . Still Under Attack From Secularists

February 13, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on Cardinal Pell . . . Still Under Attack From Secularists

By JOHN YOUNG MELBOURNE — The savage attacks on George Cardinal Pell, during his life and continuing now after his death, show what can be expected in today’s society by those who publicly proclaim the truth. Of course, it’s not new: God was crucified for it and most of His twelve apostles were martyred.Cardinal Pell proclaimed the truth whether it was popular or not. He took action against unorthodox priests and others in senior positions when he was archbishop of Melbourne and later as cardinal archbishop of Sydney. He reformed the diocesan seminaries in those cities, at least as far as he was able to. He encouraged orthodox movements, including Opus Dei.Inevitably modernists in the Church were hostile to him,…Continue Reading
