How God Answers Prayer

October 7, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on How God Answers Prayer

By JOE SIXPACK Jill, a young woman of about twenty, worked in an office building in New York City. She was supporting her chronically ill mother, but her salary wasn’t large enough to pay for all the poor woman’s treatments. She made one novena after another for a raise in her salary, but God didn’t seem to want to answer her prayers.In her frustration, Jill made up her mind that if God didn’t give her a raise after the novena she was currently praying, she’d never pray again. On the ninth day of the novena, Jill went to work bright and happy, believing that God was certain to answer her prayer this time and give her the raise. Her boss…Continue Reading

Should The Lord Reconsider His Words To Noah?

October 6, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on Should The Lord Reconsider His Words To Noah?

By TOM TAKASH “Aborting one’s child, objectively speaking, may appear to some as a selfish and brutal act, but if all the facts are known, it may in fact be a selfless and kindly act of love.” That’s the line we’re regularly hearing from the left. Does that sound as Satanic to you, as it does to me? Well, either we’re right and that twisted view is from the world of darkness, and not the view of our fellow Americans, or (a scary thought) our nation has slowly slipped into the grip of the evil one and faith, hope, and charity are only meaningless words from a fairytale past that exists only in the minds of gullible and weak people…Continue Reading

Artifacts Of An Imperishable Faith

October 5, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on Artifacts Of An Imperishable Faith

By JAMES MONTI Part 2 In our previous essay, we began our exploration of a room filled with stunningly beautiful artifacts of seventeenth and eighteenth-century Catholicism in Latin America, Gallery 757 in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. Turning now to the painting of Our Lady with the Christ Child that first meets the eye upon entering this gallery, we need to journey in time back to early medieval Spain to discover the story behind it.In or about the tenth century, there lived in the forested mountains of northeastern Spain a notorious bandit named Munio Honne (Nuno Onez). Travelers had reason to fear the criminal, who stalked his victims through the woods and even resorted to murder to seize their…Continue Reading

A Beacon Of Light… Why We Must Attend Mass Regularly

October 4, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on A Beacon Of Light… Why We Must Attend Mass Regularly

By FR. RICHARD D. BRETON JR. (Editor’s Note: Fr. Richard D. Breton Jr. is a priest of the Diocese of Norwich, Conn.) + + Several weeks ago, I wrote regarding the Eucharistic Revival, which the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops has begun. For us as Catholics, it is imperative that we fully participate in this much-needed renewal of our belief in the Eucharistic Lord. As a way of partaking in the Eucharistic Revival in the United States, this week I will offer a simple reflection on the importance of attending Mass regularly. As we journey through the revival, I will periodically offer reflections like this.Each week we attend Sunday Mass, pray the prayers, and participate in the sacred actions…Continue Reading

The New SCOTUS Term

October 3, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on The New SCOTUS Term

By DEACON MIKE MANNO This week the U. S. Supreme Court starts a new term with one new justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson, who replaced Stephen Breyer at Breyer’s retirement at the close of the court’s last term. Despite the change in cast members, the court maintains its ideological balance, 6-3 in favor of conservatives.What can we expect? The answer to that question can spawn an entire industry, one that I am surely not qualified to answer. So I go to experts.On my radio program last week we hosted a real expert on this stuff, the Vice President for Constitutional Government at the Heritage Foundation, John Malcolm. We know he’s an expert because when President Trump nominated him for a high…Continue Reading

“Green Parking!”

October 2, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on “Green Parking!”

By BARBARA SIMPSON If you live in California — as I do — you are awash in politicians who have devoted their activities to “solving” the dilemma of global warming. Keeping in mind that not everyone buys into that political position, it presents an interesting situation to see the proposals for new laws that are supposed to be part of the solution.Now, lawmakers in Sacramento are aiming their arrows at “parking.” Actually, not at parking in general but the rationale behind it. They believe that by providing parking for vehicles, cars, and trucks — whether private or commercial — they are encouraging people to drive gas-fueled cars and to them. That is a No-No because they believe those vehicles are…Continue Reading

Europe Falls Off The Deep End Of The Demographic Curve

October 1, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on Europe Falls Off The Deep End Of The Demographic Curve

By CHRISTOPHER MANION Countries in the European Union confront serious challenges as winter approaches, with security and energy issues foremost among them. Yet the European Parliament can’t seem to shed its obsession with abortion.Indeed, it’s kind of embarrassing.In June of last year, Predrag Fred Matic, a Member of Parliament for Croatia, presented what has come to be known as the “Matic Report.” The document describes abortion as “essential healthcare,” and declares that violations of “sexual and reproductive health and rights” are “a form of violence against women and girls.”Addressing the right of medical personnel to refuse to participate in murder, Matic says “No Way!” Such refusal constitutes “denial of medical care,” according to the report, which was adopted in Plenary…Continue Reading

God’s Marine

September 30, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on God’s Marine

By JOE SIXPACK On one particular occasion a Marine used some very bad language and mentioned the name of our Lord very disrespectfully. The chaplain happened to be nearby and overheard the Marine. He jerked the young man to his feet and forcefully repeated the same words he’d just heard. The rest of the Marines in the group were astounded.“Now,” said the chaplain sternly, “you’ve heard me say it, Marine! And I’m a priest. How does it sound to you?”The Marine was shamefaced and silent.“It ought to turn your stomach,” the chaplain said, and left. It probably did, as there was a marked decrease in profanity in the unit from that time on.The Second Commandment is: “You shall not take…Continue Reading

True Conservatives Are Willing To Fight Same-Sex “Marriage”

September 29, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on True Conservatives Are Willing To Fight Same-Sex “Marriage”

By AUSTIN RUSE (Editor’s Note: LifeSiteNews reprinted this commentary from Crisis Magazine, where it first appeared. Austin Ruse is the president of C-FAM.) + + (Crisis Magazine) — Big-time libertarian pundit Ben Domenech got downright tetchy with National Conservatism scholar Yoram Hazony on a podcast this past week over an issue that Domenech believes is settled and never to be unsettled. Hazony said that Domenech’s rhetoric became downright “violent.”At the prospect that many in the not-so-nascent national conservative movement believe “gay marriage” is still a salient issue, Domenech rather shouted at Hazony, “I want you to understand this. We will beat you. We are beating you. We are destroying you in terms of the polling, like there’s no basis for…Continue Reading

The Rise Of The “Nones” And Heaven Help Us

September 28, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on The Rise Of The “Nones” And Heaven Help Us

By DEACON MIKE MANNO Every week, either here or on my radio program, I feature stories that, when taken together, reveal a rather sharp decline in the civic and cultural mores of the day. Growing up in the 50s and early 60s, I don’t think too many folks were concerned about their children being accosted by teachers and librarians trying to “open” their minds to sexual pleasure, or the possibility that your little kiddie might be in the wrong sex.It was a different time where most people went to church on Sunday and at least professed a faith in a “higher power,” and tried to set their conduct so as to at least reflect that belief, even if they —…Continue Reading
