Abortion Comedies Not Funny

September 21, 2015 Frontpage Comments Off on Abortion Comedies Not Funny

By REY FLORES This is not a movie review about the new film Grandma. As a matter of fact, whatever I can do to discourage anyone from viewing this new film, I hope I accomplish with what I am writing here. Now playing in theaters is a movie for our times. This is not because it is such a cinematic epic, but because of its sickening message that families are there to help you through “tough times” by helping you abort your own flesh and blood. Comedienne and actress Lily Tomlin has been a fixture on the cinema stage for close to 50 years now. I never found her to be too funny myself, but as a kid I recall…Continue Reading

Abortion Survivors Address Congress?. . . How To Win The Pro-Life Battle By Casting Off Shackles

September 20, 2015 Frontpage Comments Off on Abortion Survivors Address Congress?. . . How To Win The Pro-Life Battle By Casting Off Shackles

By DEXTER DUGGAN Had you heard the Republican Party can’t accomplish anything unless it controls the House, Senate, the presidency, the UN secretary generalship, the papacy, the ownership of Disneyland, the commissionership of the National Football League, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the World Series, the Super Bowl, and all the East Coast toll roads? Actually, during the 2014 election campaign, GOP leaders just said they needed to hold the House and take control of the Senate in order to make the big differences the nation was pleading for. However, after they had control of both congressional chambers as 2015 began, the leaders said that’s not enough unless they win the presidency, too. While, of course, holding on to…Continue Reading

Mueller Warns Of Harm To Church . . . Secret Vatican Curia Dossier Critiques Pope’s Annulment Changes

September 19, 2015 Frontpage Comments Off on Mueller Warns Of Harm To Church . . . Secret Vatican Curia Dossier Critiques Pope’s Annulment Changes

By MAIKE HICKSON ROME (LifeSiteNews) — A growing number of high-ranking Vatican prelates are quietly expressing their dismay over Pope Francis’ recent and sudden motu proprio streamlining the process of declaring a marriage null, according to a new report. On September 10, the German newspaper Die Zeit published an important report about a seven-page dossier that is now being privately circulated in the Vatican among curial members who are opposing Pope Francis’ recent decision to liberalize the process of marriage annulments. According to the Die Zeit author, Julius Mueller-Meiningen, one high-ranking prelate said that with this new motu proprio, which makes the process of annulling a marriage much faster and much easier, “Pope Francis has let drop his mask.” Many,…Continue Reading

The Hillary Chronicles

September 18, 2015 Frontpage Comments Off on The Hillary Chronicles

By ANDREW P. NAPOLITANO The bad news has continued to cascade onto the Hillary Clinton for President campaign, and none of it has anything to do with Clinton’s opinions on issues. It all is about her fitness for office. Since Labor Day, we have learned that the folks into whose hands Clinton reposed her computer server for safekeeping do not believe it has been wiped clean of all emails, as her lawyer told a federal judge it was. That means the 33,000 emails she thought she destroyed probably still could be recovered. What will they reveal? And we learned this past week that of the emails released thus far — those Clinton did not attempt to destroy — there is…Continue Reading

Welcome To America, Pope Francis!

September 17, 2015 Frontpage Comments Off on Welcome To America, Pope Francis!

By REY FLORES Your Holiness, it is a great privilege and honor to have you visit our country. We are thrilled that you come to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ our Lord and His Church. God surely knows that we can use all the help we can get here in the United States as Catholics. I understand your concern for the poor and disenfranchised. I myself have lived in poverty and I have worked for many years to help the hungry, the homeless, immigrant populations, and survivors of domestic violence. I have also done everything I can to be a conscientious and responsible person when it comes to caring for our environment. But we need you to help…Continue Reading

Is “Anchor Baby” Hate Speech?

September 16, 2015 Frontpage Comments Off on Is “Anchor Baby” Hate Speech?

By JAMES K. FITZPATRICK The way that Donald Trump and Jeb Bush handled the accusation that their use of the term “anchor baby” is hate speech is probably as good a way of dealing with the question as any. Both responded to reporters who made the charge by asking them to provide “a better term,” and then moved on as if the topic were not worth discussion. Neither Trump nor Bush was given an answer. Which is not surprising. “Anchor baby” is offensive only to those who are looking to take offense. What would be a better term? Birthright baby? Pathway baby? Open-door baby? We can ask the same question of those who object to the term “illegal alien.” What…Continue Reading

History Vs. Social Studies

September 15, 2015 Frontpage Comments Off on History Vs. Social Studies

By JAMES K. FITZPATRICK I don’t know when the debate over whether our public schools should teach courses in “history” or “social studies” began, but it was going on in the late 1960s when I was teaching at a public high school in the suburbs of New York City. Before then, when I was an undergraduate, I was largely disinterested in the give-and-take over the topic. I was a political science major at Fordham in the early 1960s, but took as many history courses as I did courses in the social sciences. I had the impression that most of my classmates who majored in political science did the same. More to the point, I saw no ideological divide between those…Continue Reading

In The School Of Blessed Zélie And Louis Martin

September 14, 2015 Frontpage Comments Off on In The School Of Blessed Zélie And Louis Martin

By LOUISE KIRK On August 28 in the colorful Normandy town of Alençon, a special feast was celebrated. Those of us blessed to be there had the extraordinary experience of praying the Mass while looking into the bedroom where the Blessed had died. We were in the house of the Martin family, on the 138th anniversary of Zélie’s death. She and her husband Louis are to be canonized in Rome during the Family Synod on October 18. Blessed Zélie and Louis’ journey toward canonization has been unusual in many ways. St. Thérèse declared that her own potential for holiness had been received because of theirs, but it was she, their daughter, who revealed their holiness to the world. So close…Continue Reading

Kim Davis Cuffed . . . Attack On Christian Clerk To Spark Revolt Against Elite Pretense?

September 13, 2015 Frontpage Comments Off on Kim Davis Cuffed . . . Attack On Christian Clerk To Spark Revolt Against Elite Pretense?

By DEXTER DUGGAN As the Labor Day weekend passed by in early September, how many people began to think of the name Rosa Parks when they heard the name Kim Davis? Parks was the Alabama black woman who was arrested after refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger on a Montgomery city bus in 1955. A supportive bus boycott quickly followed. Even after the Civil War was fought to end slavery nearly a century earlier, the Democrat Party’s power structure later imposed racial segregation in Southern states. Parks’ individual initiative against that system was one historic catalyst that helped end the entrenched, formidable legal arrogance. It just had been the way of doing things that finally fell…Continue Reading

White House Invites “Gay Catholic” To Papal Visit

September 12, 2015 Frontpage Comments Off on White House Invites “Gay Catholic” To Papal Visit

By REY FLORES It saddens me to tell you this story of a 23-year-old man who has been invited by President Obama to presumably help represent American Catholics at the White House during Pope Francis’ upcoming visit. Aaron Ledesma is a Marquette graduate and a young man with his whole life in front of him, or so it would seem. You see, young Mr. Ledesma has already made some serious decisions that not only affect the rest of his life here on Earth, but they will also affect his eternal life. Ledesma is an “openly gay” man. He lapsed from religious practice for a time while attending Marquette, which itself goes to show just how ineffective and watered-down Catholic universities…Continue Reading
