November 11, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – In a new interview, Pope Francis criticized the “rigidity” of young people who are attached to the Traditional Latin Mass. “I always try to understand what’s behind people who are too young to have experienced the pre-conciliar liturgy and yet still they want it,” the pontiff said. “Sometimes I found myself confronted with a very strict person, with an attitude of rigidity. And I ask myself: Why so much rigidity? Dig, dig, this rigidity always hides something, insecurity or even something else. Rigidity is defensive. True love is not rigid.” Pope Francis frequently criticizes faithful Cat

Editor’s Note: If you are aware of any additional strong statements to add the list below, please send them to pcraine@lifesitenews.com. November 4, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Catholics voters frequently find themselves wishing more clergy, especially bishops, would speak out on the crucial nature of voting for life on Election Day instead of often enduring a prevailing silence on obvious pro-abortion candidates and party platforms. The recent resurgence of the late Mother Angelica’s simple advice on voting for life, in the form of a re-released viral video, shows the hunger Catholics have for guidance. When priests and prelates do speak out to remind Catholic

Life “Trumps” All Else . . .

November 3, 2016 breaking Comments Off on Life “Trumps” All Else . . .

A last-minute plea … To the Glenn Becks, Never Trumpers, Third Party Crowd, and the rest of the voters who are facilitating a Hillary Clinton victory: Each presidential election becomes more critical than the last, as our country continues its fast track to distance itself from our Creator and His laws. Here we are again with another election more important than the last. To the Catholic and the Christian, the two most crucial issues of the day are the right to life and the right to religious liberty, period. Without life, the most fundamental right, all other rights become insignificant. If we lose the right to practice our faith, every other right also becomes inconsequential. Any person or politician who…Continue Reading

WASHINGTON (RNS) They are many, shift between parties and typically side with the candidate who ends up winning the White House. That’s what makes Catholics the ultimate swing voters in the U.S. And this year they are going to throw their weight behind Democrat Hillary Clinton, a panel of political analysts said Monday (Oct. 31).

I grew up Lutheran. I was admitted to Catholic Communion because I said publicly that I believed what the Catholic Church teaches.

I grew up Lutheran. It is of constant consternation and amazement to me that I have had to fight with Catholics over what the Catholic Church teaches about the Eucharist. I have met Lutherans who believe more about the Eucharist than a few of my seminary profs. I am not exaggerating. As things rev up toward 2017 and the Lutherfest, much about Catholic Lutheran dialogue will be in the offing. You will read lots of blah blah about… ….intercommunion. I say YES! I want intercommunion, too! I want intercommunion between Catholics and former Lutheran converts to Catholicism. Also, before everyone out there gets their underthings in a twist, I said “blah blah”.  Mark
