Totalitarianism and Alfie Evans: the sad truth behind his death

May 1, 2018 breaking Comments Off on Totalitarianism and Alfie Evans: the sad truth behind his death

April 30, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – In the opinion he wrote for the Supreme Court of the United States in the Dred Scott case Chief Justice Taney observed that “the class of persons who had been imported as slaves…, whether they had become free or not…” had “for more than a century been regarded as beings of an inferior order, and altogether unfit to associate with the white race either in social or political relations, and so far inferior that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect, and that the negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for his benefit[emphasis mine].” Such was the attitude Justice Taney ascribed to “the state of public opinion … which prevailed in…Continue Reading

Pope Francis: Ban All Weapons

April 30, 2018 breaking Comments Off on Pope Francis: Ban All Weapons

Today on Twitter, the head of the Roman Catholic Church called for a ban on all weapons. Pope Francis asserted that the mere presence of weapons makes us constantly live in fear of war. Other Popes have acknowledged that weapons do indeed create a certain environment of fear. Church leaders have called for bans on certain types on weapons, such as nuclear weapons, but none have called for an outright ban on all weapons. The naiveté of this comment is pretty remarkable for several reasons. Surely, in an ideal world weapons would not be needed

LIVERPOOL, England, April 28, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) — Alfie Evans died today in a Liverpool children’s hospital at  2:30 a.m. local time. Despite last-minute interventions, including the Italian government’s gift of citizenship to the infant, the child died four days after doctors at the Alder Hey NHS (National Health Service) Foundation ignored his parents’ wishes and removed him from a ventilator. His mother Kate James informed well-wishers of the boy’s death by posting a message on the “Alfie’s Army Official” Facebook page. “Our baby boy grew his wings tonight at 2:30 a

Speaker Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) removal of the House chaplain has ignited a firestorm on Capitol Hill and exposed deep religious fault lines among members of Congress. Catholics in both parties condemned Ryan’s ouster of Patrick Conroy, a Jesuit priest and the House’s spiritual leader since 2011, while Democrats of all religious stripes accused Ryan of injecting politics into the traditionally nonpolitical role. “The last thing we need in the midst of

Roman Catholic Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco gave a talk at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kan., on March 24, in which he said that the “worst thing” Catholics can do in trying to spread their faith is to “soften or downplay the hard parts” of it. “That is why the worst thing we ca

Police files, historical documents show link between Catholic hierarchy and residential schools

April 26, 2018 breaking Comments Off on Police files, historical documents show link between Catholic hierarchy and residential schools

When the Ontario Provincial Police raided the Oblates of Mary Immaculate offices in Ottawa in 1995, they seized a number of documents including a file containing a memo written in Latin and addressed to the order’s leadership in Rome. The memo concerned a member of the order who was associated with St. Anne’s residential school in Fort Albany, Ont. The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops has claimed in recent weeks, in defence of a statement that Pope Francis could not “personally respond” to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s request for an apology for r

Judge in Alfie Evans Case: Quit Telling Me He’s a Human Being, “There’s Virtually Nothing of His Brain Left”

April 25, 2018 breaking Comments Off on Judge in Alfie Evans Case: Quit Telling Me He’s a Human Being, “There’s Virtually Nothing of His Brain Left”

The Alfie Evans case is the latest in a long line of cases where courts and doctors have determined that patients are supposedly too far gone and supposedly don’t have the quality of life to justify even basic nutrition or care and treatment — let alone experimental treatment to try to treat their conditions or diseases. Nowhere was this more on display than in Judge Hayden’s courtroom yesterday where the British judge had no interest in attorneys for Alfie’s family reminding him that Alfie is a human being worth legal protection.
