Use Obama’s Or Rodman’s Way?… Kim Gives Trump Another Chance To Confound Elites

July 10, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off

By DEXTER DUGGAN What are the portents for morality and freedom in a world where Western leftist elites impose their own shocking notions of what’s decent and acceptable? Dissenting from their mandates, President Donald Trump can change people’s way of looking at things. When President Barack Obama visited the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in March 2012, he looked toward the North’s reclusive Hermit Kingdom dictatorship from behind protective glass, with binoculars. It was a world-outcast sort of place that only a weird celebrity like former U.S. basketball star Dennis Rodman, with his earrings and nose rings and nimble hoopster ways, thought was a defensible destination, repeatedly meeting with mysterious Communist dictator Kim Jong Un. Rodman’s dream of peacemaking and conciliation…Continue Reading

Sexual Revolution And The Death Of The West

July 9, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off

By SHAUN KENNEY Great news! Blessed Cardinal Newman is going to be canonized on October 13! For those of you who have ever participated in a Newman Center at a college or university, or have donated to the Cardinal Newman Society, or have read his book The Idea of a University then you can understand the absolute joy (and even giddiness) we all might feel at this announcement. Personally, if it kicks off a revival of the old Newman Bookstore at Catholic University, then I’m absolutely set on this. Sadly, we might never see the likes of this unique place again after the Paulist Fathers jacked up their rent and then sold their building (that’s another story). But the Newman…Continue Reading

Border Deaths Bring Hard Truths Home

July 8, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off

By CHRISTOPHER MANION On Saturday June 22, Austin Bishop Joe Vasquez issued an unremarkable statement reaffirming Catholic teaching. While bishops oppose President Trump’s policies regarding deportation of illegal aliens, he said, “We recognize the right of nations to control their borders in a just and proportionate manner…we should focus on the root causes in Central America that have compelled so many to leave their homes in search of safety.” Simple, right? Well, the dissident left went nuts. One Catholic college theologian tweeted: “This is worse than saying nothing.” Another mocked Vasquez’s citing the Catechism, saying it “fails to meet the urgency and prophetic call” of the moment. But what misdeed had Vasquez committed? As Chairman of the USCCB’s Committee on…Continue Reading

Pro-Abortion Warriors . . . Hate To Show People What They Love So Madly

July 7, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off

By DEXTER DUGGAN You just awoke from a dream about the Democratic presidential candidates’ newly announced support for “Agricultural Equality” to solve the problem of “encroachments against nature.” Dream interpretation is always interesting. What could these national Dems be talking about? Campaign literature in the dream had plenty of patriotic colors to suggest good old Americanism, but there were no photos or explanations about the program that the candidates apparently want you to think will help farm families, one of those groups that become beloved in election campaigns. Oh, now you recall that as the dream ended, a tipster whispered that the program is to confiscate and destroy despised conservatives’ homes, just like the Communist government in China really does…Continue Reading

Sexual Revolt . . . Soaring Hopes Of The 1960s Crashed Back To Earth

July 6, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off

By DEXTER DUGGAN The 1960s didn’t live up to all the happy hopes from the start of that decade, and we’re living with the consequences — as every age bequeaths its good and bad to successor years. With rocketed payloads circling the Earth and eagerly anticipated to head on to the moon before long, that decade was christened the Soaring Sixties as it began. Before it ended, the soaring had sickened as the radical New Left embroiled nations in riots and other forms of social upheaval. One of the New Left’s aims was wresting control of academia from what it regarded as the liberal but stodgy establishment, and the success of that assault appears daily in what the national…Continue Reading

Catholic League Hails Document… Vatican Reaffirms Teaching On Confessional Seal

July 5, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off

(Editor’s Note: Catholic League President Bill Donohue commented July 1 on the Apostolic Penitentiary’s statement on the seal of Confession.) + + + On July 1, the Vatican released a document on the seal of the confessional that was approved by Pope Francis on June 21. The Holy Father issued a statement of his own on the document. It comes at a time when some civil authorities, such as in California, are seeking to penalize priests for withholding information about the sexual abuse of a minor learned in the confessional. The Vatican’s message to these lawmakers is unmistakable: Under no circumstances will the Catholic Church allow priests to divulge any information about any subject learned in the confessional. “A confessor’s…Continue Reading

The Myth Of Independence Day

July 4, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off

By JUDGE ANDREW P. NAPOLITANO (Editor’s Note: Creators.com distributes Judge Napolitano’s column.) + + + The Declaration of Independence — released on July 4, 1776 — was Thomas Jefferson’s masterpiece. Jefferson himself wrote much about it in essays and letters during the 50 years that followed. Not the least of what he wrote offered his view that the Declaration and the values that it articulated were truly radical — meaning they reflected 180-degree changes at the very core of societal attitudes in America. The idea that farmers and merchants and lawyers could secede from a kingdom and fight and win a war against the king’s army was the end result of the multigenerational movement that was articulated in the Declaration…Continue Reading

Drag Queens And More… Is Abnormal The New Normal?

By REY FLORES “There is nothing intrinsically evil about human nature just because a little devil knocks at the door. Evil begins only when we open the door and consent to the temptation. Scripture praises the man who suffers temptations. When we resist temptations, we strengthen our character” — Venerable Fulton J. Sheen. + + + I don’t watch much television and try to avoid it at all costs. The content is really nothing I have interest in. I don’t care much for watching sports, or any of the so-called comedy shows. They’ve all gotten very political. It used to be sports and entertainment overall were an escape from the difficult realities of our daily lives and the bad news…Continue Reading

We’re Treating Humans Like Dead Cows

July 2, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off

By BARBARA SIMPSON (Editor’s Note: This column first appeared on WorldNetDaily, June 23, 2019.) + + + Does it seem to you that every time we look at the news or see a wire story, some government somewhere in this country is making some new law or regulation that attempts to change the way we live, work, worship…or now, even die? In California, the government is trying to change the way Catholics practice one of their sacraments, Confession. The proposed new law aims to force priests to reveal Confession details to authorities if there are any details about sexual abuse. The politicians think that will work; but I can tell you, that law will go nowhere. Neither priests nor lay…Continue Reading

Men In Women’s Sports… When Ideologies Clash

July 1, 2019 Frontpage Comments Off

By DEACON MIKE MANNO, JD In 1972 when Congress passed Title IX only one in 27 women and girls participated in sports; today, nearly fifty years later, that number is closer to two in six. Not only did the law result in more athletic opportunities for women and girls, it also benefited them by opening more avenues for scholarships and elite competition. It was hailed as a monumental civil rights advancement for all women, athlete or not. At the time sex was considered binary: You were either male or female. Much has changed today. The intellectual elites on the left now claim that sex is non-binary, and is subject to an individual’s assessment of self; it is fluid. In short,…Continue Reading
