Islamic Terrorists Are Slaughtering Catholics In Nigeria

June 22, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on Islamic Terrorists Are Slaughtering Catholics In Nigeria

By CHRISTOPHER MANION On Pentecost Sunday, at least fifty worshippers were killed, and some seventy injured, in an attack on St. Francis Catholic Church in Nigeria.Attacks on Christians in Nigeria have become so common that they aren’t deemed “newsworthy” anymore. And to date the government of Nigeria has done little to respond.Apologists for the killers insist that the attackers, Islamist terrorists, are merely “nomadic herdsmen” whose grazing areas are being destroyed by “global warming.”It’s amazing, isn’t it, how all the myths of the Left seem to swarm like buzzards on a roadside carcass, each providing another excuse for oppressing Christians, the family, unborn children, and, ultimately, freedom itself?But behind the banal barrage, the fact remains: Christians are being slaughtered by…Continue Reading

By FR. RICHARD D. BRETON JR. (Editor’s Note: Fr. Richard D. Breton Jr. is a priest of the Diocese of Norwich, Conn. He received his BA in religious studies and his MA in dogmatic theology from Holy Apostles College and Seminary in Cromwell, Conn.) + + Let’s take a look at some of the key appearances of Mary around the world, some popularly known, and some, not so known. In each of them she’s been calling us to conversion and has been warning us of consequences of not doing so.The First Apparition focuses on what happened in Lourdes, France in 1858. St. Bernadette encounters a mysterious Lady, of pure white. Our Lady’s first appearance was on Thursday, February 11, 1858,…Continue Reading

The Presence Of God And The Latin Mass

June 20, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on The Presence Of God And The Latin Mass

By DEACON MIKE MANNO Those of you who have followed this column know that about seven months ago I had a stroke. Fortunately, through the mercy of God, I quickly recovered with little or no problems. However, it has affected my sight; I can no longer read well, struggling to make out each word like a first grader following his fingers across the page, and my peripheral vision has been compromised to the point that I still cannot drive.Thus when I am at the altar assisting at Mass, I can no longer proclaim the Gospel, nor can I read the Prayers of the Faithful. The priest will read the Gospel for me and the lector will read the prayers. I…Continue Reading

Caravan… They’re On The Way!

June 19, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on Caravan… They’re On The Way!

By BARBARA SIMPSON While the Southwest of the United States sweltered in plus-100 degree heat the weekend of June 10 and Americans did all they could to get out of the heat, thousands of people from south of the border are marching north to us – the U.S. — with plans to cross the border and melt into the population of our country.It’s said to be one of — if not “the” — largest such movement of people hoping for illegal entry/amnesty into our country — estimates are from 6,000 to 10,000 people!Officials know about it, but from what I’ve seen in the news, virtually nothing is being done about it. Slow it down? Turn it back? Stop it? Strengthen…Continue Reading

Democrats Want Civil War — But They’ll Blame Republicans

June 18, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on Democrats Want Civil War — But They’ll Blame Republicans

By CHRISTOPHER MANION Last Saturday, Democratic Cong. Jamaal Bowman of New York predicted trouble if Republicans take over the majority on Capitol Hill in the November midterm elections.“Far-right extremists and white nationalists” have advocated “civil war,” he told MSNBC, and a GOP victory would “embolden” them.Bowman, an ally of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.), warned that they would “impeach President Biden as quickly as possible and they will continue to find ways to impeach him going forward.”In other words, Bowman feared that Republicans would act like Democrats.But the salient — and dangerous — ingredient of his prediction comes in his branding “far-right extremists and white nationalists” as the belligerents in this war.Those very terms — “extremist,” “supremacist” — are central to…Continue Reading

Proofs Of The Real Presence

June 17, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on Proofs Of The Real Presence

By JOE SIXPACK Part 1 As you’ll recall from last week, the people were amazed to find Jesus waiting for them on the other side of the Sea of Galilee. They said, “Rabbi, when did you come here?” But Jesus cut right to the chase.He said, “You seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you; for on Him has God the Father set His seal.”Then they said to Him, “What must we do to be doing the works of God?”Jesus answered them, “This is the work of…Continue Reading

This Is Not Your Job, Dude!

June 11, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on This Is Not Your Job, Dude!

By TOM TAKASH Almost immediately after Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone announced that Speaker Nancy Pelosi cannot receive Communion until she publicly renounces her advocacy of abortion and confesses her error, Whoopi Goldberg, an entertainer, decided to lecture the archbishop regarding what he could not do as her home bishop. Appearing on the ABC show, The View, Goldberg attempted to educate the bishop with these words: “This is not your job, dude.”Although not a Catholic, Goldberg unfortunately does seem to echo the thoughts of a significant number of Catholics. Primarily, I suspect those of diehard Democrat Catholics. These same “Catholics” have long ago (since Roe v. Wade) somehow come to the conclusion that Church doctrine is all right just as long as…Continue Reading

New Covenant Worship

June 10, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on New Covenant Worship

By JOE SIXPACK I sure hope you’re keeping track of this series. Last week we looked at how God established the worship He demanded from His human creatures. This week we’ll begin to look at how that consistently continues under the new and everlasting covenant.It was at the Last Supper that Jesus established the New Covenant with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. But how did that affect the Old Covenant and how God was to be worshipped? Jesus said, “Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfill them.” But how did He do that?First, Jesus did something very profound. He said to Peter, “I…Continue Reading

Neither Left Nor Right, But Catholic . . . What Should Be The Basis For The Supreme Court’s Abortion Decisions

June 9, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on Neither Left Nor Right, But Catholic . . . What Should Be The Basis For The Supreme Court’s Abortion Decisions

By STEPHEN M. KRASON Since the leaking of Justice Samuel Alito’s draft opinion in the abortion cases currently before the Supreme Court, there has been much excitement among pro-lifers about the distinct possibility that the Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions that had the effect of legalizing abortion, essentially until birth, would finally go into the dustbin of history. It should be understood, however, that it appears that the best that will happen if reversal occurs is that abortion will become a states’ rights issue.That would essentially put the country back to where it was in the 1960s, when the push got underway to “liberalize” and then repeal outright the restrictive abortion laws then in place.…Continue Reading

Biden Challenges Parents: “We Want Your Kids!”

June 8, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on Biden Challenges Parents: “We Want Your Kids!”

By CHRISTOPHER MANION “Children belong to the state, not the family” — John Swett, California Teachers Union Founder, 1867. + + In April, speaking to a group of public school teachers at the White House, Joe Biden resonated a theme that’s festered among the Left for over a century. Speaking of their students, Biden said, “They’re all our children. . . . They’re not somebody else’s children. They’re like yours when they’re in the classroom.”Of course, he was speaking to members of the strongest, most radical political force in the country — government school unions. And he wasn’t kidding.There are a thousand fronts in the Left’s war on America, and our schools are the targets in dozens of ways. Critical…Continue Reading
