Obama’s Transgender Transformation Of America

May 29, 2016 Frontpage Comments Off on Obama’s Transgender Transformation Of America

By REY FLORES Please forgive me for covering this disturbing topic again. I really wish that I did not have to write about subjects like these, but as a writer I am simply documenting the sick state of our current human condition. There are ugly things happening in our times, things that should have been kept in the dark depths of a seedy New York City nightclub. But here we are in the middle of America and coast to coast, facing the biggest attack on decency and morality in our lifetimes. It is no surprise that President Barack Obama has named a transgender individual to the President’s Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. Now whatever this word “transgender” means,…Continue Reading

Baby’s Struggling Survival… Leaves Abortuary Struggling For Words

May 28, 2016 Frontpage Comments Off on Baby’s Struggling Survival… Leaves Abortuary Struggling For Words

By DEXTER DUGGAN PHOENIX — Along city streets you see fast-food outlets, grocery stores, day-care drop-offs, restaurants, office-supply stores, home-improvement big boxes, apparel shops, florists, a regional bus line’s terminal, and pizza, pizza, pizza. It’s the panoply of modern commerce just around the corner from your home, competing for attention with big windows and bright lighting, boasting of their excellence to lure you into opening your wallet. Businesses vying for notice are today’s equivalent of the three-ring circus under the big tent. How lucky if a television reporter happens to stop by, looking for some feature-story material. What if the worker behind the counter were to say about the food or the flowers, “I’d prefer not to talk about it”?…Continue Reading

Cardinal Burke . . . Says Pope’s Exhortation Must Be Read “Critically”

May 27, 2016 Frontpage Comments Off on Cardinal Burke . . . Says Pope’s Exhortation Must Be Read “Critically”

By JEANNE SMITS Part 2 (Editor’s Note: Below is part 2 of an interview with Raymond Cardinal Burke by Jeanne Smits, Paris correspondent for LifeSiteNews, dated May 18. Part 1 was published in last week’s issue. (LifeSiteNews graciously granted reprint permission to The Wanderer for this exclusive interview. All rights reserved.) + + + Q. Many Catholics are troubled by the text but are reluctant about expressing their doubts and even misgivings because its author is the Pope. What would you advise them to do? A. My own thought is that we haven’t been accustomed to this kind of writing on the part of the Holy Father. In the past the Holy Father spoke very seldom, or wrote very seldom,…Continue Reading

Catholic College Leaders . . . Give Excuses For Honoring Pro-Aborts

May 26, 2016 Frontpage Comments Off on Catholic College Leaders . . . Give Excuses For Honoring Pro-Aborts

By ADAM CASSANDRA (Editor’s Note: Adam Cassandra is the news editor at The Cardinal Newman Society [www.cardinalnewmansociety.org], which promotes and defends faithful Catholic education. Follow him on Twitter: @adamcassandra.) + + + If you’ve ever wondered why so many Catholic colleges think it’s okay to honor abortion advocates at their commencement ceremonies, a former Jesuit university president recently helped shed some light on the issue. The Jesuit publication America magazine posted a three-part series on its website this month about scandalous commencement honors at Catholic colleges. In parts one and two of the series, Fr. Jim McDermott, SJ, of America spoke with me about concerns raised by The Cardinal Newman Society regarding former President Bill Clinton being chosen to give the…Continue Reading

From Boating To Battlefield . . . Federalism A Forgotten Solution For Happier U.S.

May 25, 2016 Frontpage Comments Off on From Boating To Battlefield . . . Federalism A Forgotten Solution For Happier U.S.

By DEXTER DUGGAN PHOENIX — Maybe you can find a museum exhibit explaining the slightly remembered concept of federalism, unless it’s concealed like pornography under the counter, to avoid giving people bad ideas. Federalism was the founding philosophy that the individual states of the United States were free to go their own ways, discrete experiments in self-rule, subject to the limited demands of unity in one great, big country. That’s why, as one explanation of federalism says, each state has its own constitution. Poor federalism is dead, killed at the hands of centralizers, political power-grabbers, judicial over-steppers, and know-it-alls who define liberalism as the power to run everything for their own actual benefit and everyone else’s theoretical, but not actual,…Continue Reading

Big Brother Facebook?

May 24, 2016 Frontpage Comments Off on Big Brother Facebook?

By REY FLORES Facebook has become a very important part of our lives for a few reasons, the first being that it is a great way to communicate with like-minded people across the entire world. For example, the pro-life movement has utilized social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter in effective ways to expose the Kermit Gosnell abortion horror case, which had been ignored by the liberal mainstream news media. Another terrific way pro-life warriors have capitalized on Facebook was when David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress released their undercover Planned Parenthood videos last year. If it hadn’t been for Facebook and YouTube, what are the chances that those videos would have so widely exposed the horrendous Planned…Continue Reading

Bathroom Edicts And The Depth Of Obama’s Disorder

May 23, 2016 Frontpage Comments Off on Bathroom Edicts And The Depth Of Obama’s Disorder

By DEXTER DUGGAN Barack Obama is even more determined than former President George W. Bush to get his goals with aggressive invasions. Bush mistakenly believed that overthrowing some foreign dictators would lead to a blooming of democracy in countries that he apparently regarded as not much different culturally than Iowa or Kansas, who just needed a better mayor in town. Despite his aversion to Bush’s example, Obama’s foreign policy kept the Mideast aflame as dictators toppled and wide instability followed. Reuters news service reported that Pope Francis referred to the phenomenon in his May 16 interview with the French Catholic newspaper La Croix. “As a Libyan said recently, ‘We used to have one Gaddafi, now we have 50,’ Francis said…Continue Reading

May 22, 2016 Frontpage Comments Off on Cardinal Burke . . . Says Pope’s Exhortation Must Be Read “Critically”

By JEANNE SMITS Part 1 (Editor’s Note: Below is an interview with Raymond Cardinal Burke by Jeanne Smits, Paris correspondent for LifeSiteNews, dated May 18. (Because of the length of the interview, we will publish it in two parts, with the second part appearing in next week’s issue. (LifeSiteNews graciously granted reprint permission to The Wanderer for this exclusive interview. All rights reserved.) + + + ROME (LifeSiteNews) — Two days after the Rome Life Forum in which he called faithful Catholics to be prepared to endure the “Martyrdom of Witness” for the sake of “the defense of human life and its cradle in the conjugal union of husband and wife,” I was privileged to obtain a personal interview with…Continue Reading

Transgender Bathrooms

May 21, 2016 Frontpage Comments Off on Transgender Bathrooms

By JAMES K. FITZPATRICK There is a group of my former students from the mid-1960s that is active on Facebook. I enjoy following their comments. Many of them — who are now senior citizens — post material that is not what I would have expected, judging from their teenage personas. Some former Bronx “tough guys” are now sensitive types, posting those uplifting pictures and comments about kittens and family life that can be downloaded on the Internet. Others have found religion and a fondness for favorite prayers and devotions to the saints; others an interest in patriotic themes and nostalgic pictures of old neighborhoods in New York City. And there is one fellow who is now an ardent Bernie Sanders…Continue Reading

Trump Or Ryan: Who Speaks For GOP?

May 20, 2016 Frontpage Comments Off on Trump Or Ryan: Who Speaks For GOP?

By PATRICK J. BUCHANAN “No modern precedent exists for the revival of a party so badly defeated, so intensely discredited, and so essentially split as the Republican Party is today.” Taken from The Party That Lost Its Head by Bruce Chapman and George Gilder, this excerpt, about Barry Goldwater’s defeat in 1964, led the May 12 column by E.J. Dionne of The Washington Post. Dionne is warning what could happen if the GOP perpetrates the political atrocity of nominating Donald Trump. For weeks now, the Post’s editorial page has sermonized about the “moral” obligation of all righteous Republicans to repudiate Trump. The Post’s solicitude for the well-being of the Republican Party is the stuff of legend. Yet it is a…Continue Reading
