DUBLIN, Ireland, April 19, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – During Holy Week and on Easter, the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin blasted the Church for its “harsh exclusion” and “judgmental” treatment of “gay and lesbian people” at “various times in history, and not only in a distant past” and making people “oppressed by guilt.” “For many, Christianity has been experienced in precisely the opposite sense” of being “a faith of new life and of liberation,” Archbishop Diarmuid Martin said at the Easter Vigil. “For many, Christianity had been turned into a faith of prohibitions. Certain theologies spoke about freeing people from

Cardinal Sarah and the Innovators

April 19, 2017 breaking Comments Off on Cardinal Sarah and the Innovators

Robert Cardinal Sarah recently gave an address that bears the image of a prophetic warning about the nature of the Church’s present crisis of faith. He says plainly and without hesitation numerous things that are certain to inspire many – and to annoy many others. I am sure he aims at both effects. His indictment harkens back to the title of his first book, God or Nothing. Catholics inflict great harm upon the Church when they exalt themselves and put their own theories above God and his revealed doctrines. This attitude, seen in all areas of the

Catholic High School Criticized for Showing Video Comparing Abortion to the Holocaust

April 12, 2017 breaking Comments Off on Catholic High School Criticized for Showing Video Comparing Abortion to the Holocaust

Editors Note: The Wanderer produced a video just last week that similarly compares the Holocaust to today’s abortion industry (see video below). A Catholic high school in Canada is facing harsh criticism after it showed students a video that compared the horrors of abortion to those of the Holocaust. The Catholic Church considers abortion to be a grave evil against unborn babies, and it is common for Catholic schools to teach students about the value of human life, beginning at conception. However, one student apparently complained to Canadian Education Minister David Eggen about the video, leading to public outrage, RD News Now reports. The school, Ecole Secondaire Notre Dame in Red Deer, Alberta, showed the pro-life video to 10th to…Continue Reading

We visit Cardinal Burke in his apartment, very close to the Vatican City. One of the first things the guest sees entering the house is a portrait of Pope Francis, who presides over the hall. Raymond Leo Burke was born in Wisconsin on June 30, 1948. In 2003 he was named archbishop of Saint Louis, Missouri, one of the oldest and most prestigious dioceses in the United States. Given his international prestige as a canonist, in 2008 Benedict XVI appointed him Prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signature, in which he remained until Francis comissioned him with the Order of Malta. Very devout of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, consecrated its dioceses to him, and he even dedicated…Continue Reading

MANCHESTER – Roman Catholic Bishop Peter Libasci said Friday the Diocese of Manchester will not allow illegal immigrants to take refuge by living in its churches.

WASHINGTON (CNS) — Two prominent Catholic leaders in Syria criticized the U.S. missile strikes against their nation, wondering why they occurred before investigations into the origins of chemical attacks reported April 4. But U.S. President Donald Trump said Syrian President Bashar Assad “launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians” and “choked out the lives of helpless men, women and children.” “No child of God should ever suffer such horror,” he said April 6, announcing that he had ordered the
