Not Only Gender Surgery On Kids . . . Were Democrats Planning Some Anesthesia For Voters, Too?

November 5, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on Not Only Gender Surgery On Kids . . . Were Democrats Planning Some Anesthesia For Voters, Too?

By DEXTER DUGGAN PHOENIX — Only a few years ago, who could have foreseen this midterm election season? It had leapfrogged into terrifying territory for the people of the United States.National radio host Bill Cunningham said on October 30 that with Joe Biden, we have a Democratic platform that wants to kill more unborn babies and sexually mutilate children.Promoting massive permissive abortion already had become a mainstay of Democrat strategists, but now more grave abuses of the innocent were the fuel that fired up their engines.These were part of a repellent party program that wants to use children for its radical social, racial, and schoolhouse experiments, turning even moderate and many liberal parents against Democrats.If Democrats hoped to avoid possibly…Continue Reading

How To Respond To Scandal

November 4, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on How To Respond To Scandal

By JOE SIXPACK As I write these words, the Church is still in what is perhaps the biggest scandal in her two thousand year history. I’m talking about the most recent sex scandal, of course. At the core of the scandal is the disordered action of homosexuality. While I intend to address this particular scandal, this article is intended as a guide for lay people on how they should respond to all scandals within the Catholic Church.People are angry about the scandal — really angry. I get that. And I don’t blame them, because I’m angry too. We have a right to be angry, but there are a lot of things involved here that we don’t have a right to.I…Continue Reading

The Bright Hope Of Heaven

November 3, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on The Bright Hope Of Heaven

By JAMES MONTI The arrival of November invariably turns the mind and heart to what lies beyond the horizon of this world, what is beyond the confines of time. For it is a month that begins with a celebration of the citizens of Heaven, All Saints Day, followed immediately by All Souls Day, a day of Masses and prayers for the faithful departed who wait for Heaven’s gate to be opened for them. We all have different journeys to make in this life, some short, some long, and some exceedingly difficult, but all our journeys need to have one final destination, that incredible place we call Heaven.Perhaps now more than ever, at a time in history when this world has…Continue Reading

War Casts A Shadow Over November And Beyond

November 2, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on War Casts A Shadow Over November And Beyond

By CHRISTOPHER MANION CBS News reports that the Army’s 101st Airborne Division has been deployed to Europe for the first time since World War II. American units are practicing with live tank and artillery rounds in Romania, not far from Ukraine.Speaking of World War II, the U.S. entered that conflict after a constitutional Declaration of War by Congress. In fact, that was the last constitutional war fought by the United States, and we haven’t won a war since.Of course, history buffs can point to the United Nations or congressional funding to justify — or at least to explain — our undeclared wars in Korea, Viet Nam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. But today, we have brigadier generals in Europe following up on…Continue Reading

A Beacon of Light . . . Ye Holy Ones, Pray For Us!

November 1, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on A Beacon of Light . . . Ye Holy Ones, Pray For Us!

By FR. RICHARD D. BRETON Jr. (Editor’s Note: Fr. Richard D. Breton Jr. is a priest of the Diocese of Norwich, Conn.) + + On October 31, the world celebrated the secular holiday we call, Halloween. When I was a child, I never really knew the significance of Halloween, except that it was a day to dress up in funny costumes and get candy. Halloween, however, was the day the evil spirits and demons would wander around trying to pull us into temptation. It was the precursor to the day that followed, the Solemnity of All Saints.As I grew and my faith increased, I realized that the celebration of Halloween had become a distraction. This secular holiday often allows confusion…Continue Reading

As Biden’s DOJ Plays Hardball… The Good Guys Can Still Win

October 31, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on As Biden’s DOJ Plays Hardball… The Good Guys Can Still Win

By DEACON MIKE MANNO One of the festering problems bubbling up across the nation concerns the treatment of children who might have gender dysphoria. Much of the concern deals with how the teachers’ unions and some social service agencies handle the problem which, for far too many kids trapped in the situation, is more of a phase they go through rather than any real medical or psychological problems.Thus as the liberal left has enshrined itself as the arbiter of good and evil, to which all must bow down, normal childhood development is overlooked in favor of an ongoing quest for the oxymoronic notion involved in something called “social justice.”We have watched this played out for far too long. But the…Continue Reading

Who Are We?

October 30, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on Who Are We?

By DONALD DeMARCO Pope St. John Paul II consistently and persistently reminded us during his pontificate that Christ informs us as to who we are. As society drifts away from Christ and His Church, the confusion about human identity becomes more acute. In relying less and less on Christ, society relies more and more on technology. The transhumanism movement is dedicated to creating, through advanced technology, a new and improved human being, one who, according to some transhumanists, will no longer suffer.In 1962, Robert Ettinger, a confirmed atheist, wrote a highly influential book entitled, The Prospect for Immortality, in which he proposed cryopreservation, or freezing the body immediately prior to death. Ettinger believed that a cryopreserved person could be thawed,…Continue Reading

Put Donkeys Out To Pasture . . . Reformist Republicans See Plenty Of Democrat Sludge To Cleanse

By DEXTER DUGGAN PHOENIX — She went from being one of many to the one and only.Just about every city has at least one if not three, four or more of them — the pairs of telegenic news anchors at desks who introduce reporters live in the field.It’s most likely one man and one woman in the studio tossing the story to a journalist outdoors with some background like police cars or a crowd or an arena or a hospital.After other work in television, Kari Lake was a news anchor here for more than two decades, one of the many poised announcers around the nation expected to be able to handle breaking events without being flustered.She was good-looking, as they’re…Continue Reading

Give Me Souls; Keep The Rest!

October 28, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on Give Me Souls; Keep The Rest!

By JOE SIXPACK Give Me Souls; Keep the Rest! That was St. John Bosco’s motto. I must admit that I’ve borrowed it as my own, too. On its surface, this is a very evangelistic saying. But we should ask ourselves what Don Bosco meant in this motto. After all, nineteenth-century Italy was almost all Catholic, so he obviously didn’t mean evangelizing non-Catholics to become members of the Mystical Body of Christ. That stated, what did he mean?Although you don’t hear a lot about it, the Church has always taught that we all have to be evangelized every day. In fact, the Church actually enshrined this in one of her precepts: “The faithful are to study Catholic teaching in preparation for…Continue Reading

Pope Francis Extends Synod On Synodality To 2024

October 27, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on Pope Francis Extends Synod On Synodality To 2024

By COURTNEY MARES (Wanderer Editor’s Note: See Fr. John T. Zuhlsdorf’s wdtprs.com blog for October 17, where he asks: “A ‘perpetual synodal’ [‘walking together’] Church? What could go wrong?” Fr. Zuhlsdorf also quotes from Ed Pentin of the National Catholic Register: “Today’s announcement of a two-year process for the upcoming synod on synodality (‘walking together’) appears to reflect the ideas of Jesuit Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, who viewed synodality as a vehicle for questioning Church teaching.”) + + VATICAN CITY (CNA) — Pope Francis announced on Sunday, October 16 that the Synod on Synodality will be extended to 2024.Speaking in his Angelus address on October 16, the Pope shared his decision to divide the Synod of Bishops into two sessions…Continue Reading
