ACLU, Dem AGs… Try To Force Catholic Medics To Sin

By DEACON MIKE MANNO, JD Of all the outrages being committed by the progressive left these days, few would compare with the attempts by a coalition of Democratic state attorneys general and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to force Catholic hospitals and health-care workers to perform elective hysterectomies for women seeking to “transition” to men, to perform “trans” surgeries, and to require all to perform abortions.The party of death and its secular arm, the ACLU, have filed two federal lawsuits to strip away from Catholic hospitals and medical personnel their right to decline to perform certain medical procedures as a matter of faith or conscience.“The last thing anyone should want right now is fewer hospitals. And yet, that may…Continue Reading

Violence, Falsehood, And The Forbidden Question

By CHRISTOPHER MANION In surveying the recent violence, injuries, and property damage caused by rioters in Seattle, Portland, and other cities governed by Democrats, memories come to mind of political gatherings in Washington over the years.

I Cancel You!

By DEACON MIKE MANNO, JD “Listen up, peon, by now you must understand that my intelligence, education, and exalted place in society are such that I am to be believed and I will not tolerate any defiance. You conform or you will be canceled.”So issue the threats from The Woke among us. You see, the modern leftists are so secure in their feeble knowledge of history, science, the arts, politics, and nearly everything else, that to express any type of disagreement should render that societal heretic invisible. In other words, he should be canceled. And it doesn’t matter if the offense is being committed by a thing and not a person — just remove the thing, it is no longer…Continue Reading
