March 21, 2020 breaking Comments Off on Cardinal Burke . . . Message on the Combat against the Coronavirus, COVID-19

ON MAR 21, 2020 Dear Friends, For some time now, we have been in combat against the spread of the coronavirus, COVID-19. From all that we can tell – and one of the difficulties of the combat is that so much about the pestilence remains unclear – , the battle will yet continue for some time. The virus involved is particularly insidious, for it has a relatively long incubation period – some say 14 days and some say 20 days – and is highly contagi

March 21, 2020 breaking Comments Off on Bishop Athanasius Schneider on how to go on living when Masses are suspended

Millions of Catholics in the so-called free Western world will, in the coming weeks or even months, and especially during Holy Week and Easter, the culmination of the entire liturgical year, be deprived of any public acts of worship due to both civic and ecclesiastical reaction to the outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19). The most painful and distressing of these is the deprivation of Holy Mass and sacramental Holy Communion. The current atmosphere of an almost planetary panic is continuously fueled by the universally proclaimed “dogma” of the new coronavirus pandemic. The drastic and disproportionate security measures with the denial of fundamental human rights of freedom of movement, freedom of assembly, and freedom of opinion appear almost globally orchestrated along a…Continue Reading

March 17, 2020 breaking Comments Off on Joe Biden: Americans Should be Forced to Fund Abortions Because Killing Babies is “Health Care”

At a time when Americans want their government to provide legitimate health care in the face of the coronavirus, Joe Biden renewed his pledge to force Americans to fund abortions with their tax dollars. Biden has a long pro-abortion record and has repeatedly asserted during the presidential race that Americans should be required to fund killing babies in abortions. During last night’s presidential debate, Biden made it clear he thinks killing unborn babies in abortions is health care and that tax money should be used to fund abortions for women who can’t afford to end their baby’s life. Biden formerly supported

March 13, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — As Americans clamor for information about the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus outbreak and what the president’s Democrat opponents would do differently, some are raising red flags over former vice president Joe Biden’s team of advisers on the subject, one of whom has a history of suggesting that the elderly would be better off dead. On Wednesday, the Biden campaign announced the creation of a Public Health Advisory Committee, which will help the candidate “minimize health risks for the candidate, staff and supporters.” The panel includes the University of Pennsylvania’s Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, former Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, former homeland security advisor Lisa Monaco, former Food & Drug Administration com
