Respected theologian Monsignor Nicola Bux, a professor at the Theological Faculty of Puglia, defined “apostasy” as the “

June 17, 2017 World News Comments Off on Planned Parenthood wants to have a center in Reading High School; you can help stop it

ACTION: Planned Parenthood does not belong in our schools. Contact the Reading School Board at this link. Planned Parenthood is anything but helpful for teenagers, with all the ways the abortion giant has corrupted and confused them through explicit sexual advice, problematic sex-ed programs, and by targeting them online. Despite this, Planned Parenthood continues to seek out new opportunities in high schools around the nation, sometimes partnering with other organizations to disguise its influence. Right now, Planned Parenthood is seeking a strong foothold among high school students in Reading, Pennsylvania. AccessMatters, based in Philadelphia, has current plans to open a center inside the Reading High School. As explained by the Reading Eagle, which calls the facility a “health resource center,” AccessMatters “would…Continue Reading

June 16, 2017 World News Comments Off on Fireworks at U.S. Bishops’ meeting as Francis-appointed Cardinals oppose permanent religious liberty committee

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana, June 15, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) voted 132 to 53 today to approve the establishment of a permanent Standing Committee for Religious Liberty. Five bishops abstained from voting. The USCCB formed the Ad Hoc Committee for Religious Liberty for three years in September 2011. It was then extended for another three-year term. Today’s vote was on making this committee a permanent part of the USCCB, funded independently of the conference and thus not affecting its budget. The Committee will be under the USCCB’s Department of

June 6, 2017 (Family News) — When she first showed up in front of the cameras at the live show, with her serene sweet face, she looked as a much smaller child. She is a short person because her legs miss about half their length. She was born with both her femurs missing – the bones which would have made the long upper part of her legs. Also, she has no arms. She said she would sing. And play the piano. “

Bring Back Christendom

June 7, 2017 World News Comments Off on Bring Back Christendom

By now you may have come across the controversy spun up over the weekend when Rep. Clay Higgins, the new congressman from Louisiana’s 3rd District, sent an outraged reaction to the London Bridge jihadist attacks over Facebook. The bulk of what Higgins said was remarkable only for the florid and perhaps overwrought language he used in saying it. “Not one penny of American treasure should be granted to any nation who harbors these heathen animals,” he thundered. And perhaps “heathen animals” is a bit hot for a member of Congress to inject into the public discussion – but what Higgins said is, in fact, American policy.
