Although Clarity Necessary . . . Cardinal Dolan Joins Fox Host To Run Along Wrong Communion Line

November 12, 2019 Featured Today Comments Off on Although Clarity Necessary . . . Cardinal Dolan Joins Fox Host To Run Along Wrong Communion Line

By DEXTER DUGGAN Cartoonist Pat Cross did a Halloween drawing of three witches over their boiling cauldron checking a recipe book for ingredients they put in, like “the toe of a frog, the tongue of a dog.” But, “What about the fingers of a decapitated baby?” The third witch, reaching toward a bag held by a woman stepping into the scene who’s wearing a pink Planned Parenthood shirt, says, “They just arrived.” Just after Halloween, Cross drew another spooky topic. He depicted New York’s Timothy Cardinal Dolan with the stereotype of a little good angel and a bad angel on his shoulders. The good angel with his harp looks shocked while the bad angel with his pitchfork laughs merrily as…Continue Reading

Why Kids Are Socialists And How to Start Fixing It

November 11, 2019 Featured Today Comments Off on Why Kids Are Socialists And How to Start Fixing It

By TUCKER CARLSON and NEIL PATEL You may be happy with the state of the U.S. economy, but many young people aren’t. And as a result, a lot of them are embracing political extremism. A recent poll by YouGov finds that half of all millennials — and even more of the generation that follows them — distrust capitalism. Seventy percent of millennials say they’d be willing to vote for a socialist. If you’re not shocked by this, it’s only because you’ve seen it before. But it ought to scare you. It’s taken us almost 250 years to build this country, and we could wreck it in a single generation. At this rate, we will. In order to prevent the looming…Continue Reading

The Dispensing Of The American Mind

November 10, 2019 Featured Today Comments Off on The Dispensing Of The American Mind

By DONALD DeMARCO Allan Bloom’s 1987 best-seller, The Closing of the American Mind, shocked a great deal of readers by explaining why a university experience might not be an educational achievement. The author affirmed that “there is one thing a professor can be absolutely certain of: Almost every student entering the university believes, or says he believes, that truth is relative.” The focus of education, Bloom observed, had drifted over the past half-century from a democratic society to a democratic personality. Hence, the jarring subtitle: “How Higher Education Has Failed Democracy and Impoverished the Souls of Today’s Students.” If we read the accounts written by Heather Mac Donald, Ben Shapiro, Anthony Esolen, Jordan Peterson, and others, we have reason to…Continue Reading

Where Are The “High Crimes”?

November 9, 2019 Featured Today Comments Off on Where Are The “High Crimes”?

By PATRICK J. BUCHANAN “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” These are the offenses designated in the Constitution for which presidents may be impeached and removed from office. Which of these did Trump commit? According to his accusers in this city, his crime is as follows: The president imperiled our “national security” by delaying, for his own reasons, a transfer of lethal aid and Javelin missiles to Ukraine — the very weapons President Barack Obama refused to send to Ukraine, lest they widen and lengthen the war in the Donbass. Now, if Trump imperiled national security by delaying the transfer of the weapons, was not Obama guilty of a greater crime against our national security by denying the…Continue Reading

A Book Review . . . The Power Of Truth And Religious Wars

November 8, 2019 Featured Today Comments Off on A Book Review . . . The Power Of Truth And Religious Wars

By JEFF MINICK The Power of Truth: The Challenges to Catholic Doctrine and Morals Today, Gerhard Cardinal Mueller (Ignatius Press, 2019, 174 pages). Order at www.ignatius.com. The Roman Catholic Church is in schism — not by official fiat, but in spirit. Consider first the remarks of Fr. Paulo Suess, the 81-year-old liberation theologian and the principal writer behind the Amazon Synod’s working document, the Instrumentum Laboris. In her article “If ‘Pagan’ Rites Are Part of the Amazon Synod, They’re Still ‘Worship of God’,” LifeSiteNews writer Maike Hickson analyzes an interview Fr. Suess gave to Vatican News, in which he defends pagan symbols and rites being used in the Vatican, calls for married and female priests, declares capitalism a “killing system,”…Continue Reading

Phoenix Police Slow To Arrest Abortionist… After Video Shows Him Pointing Gun At Pro-Lifer

November 7, 2019 Featured Today Comments Off on Phoenix Police Slow To Arrest Abortionist… After Video Shows Him Pointing Gun At Pro-Lifer

By DEXTER DUGGAN PHOENIX – The power of social media to go around the establishment seemed proven again when some local media-savvy pro-lifers uploaded to YouTube after the Phoenix Police Department didn’t seem to take their complaint seriously that an abortionist pointed a handgun at one of them. Their subsequent video’d conversations with evasive police officers might make a viewer meditate on the political power of the abortion industry behind the curtain. Left-wing Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, a Democrat, sticks with her party’s line on promoting immorality. Pro-lifers from Apologia Church, in suburban Mesa, regularly stand along the city sidewalk outside the Acacia Women’s Center abortion clinic, in midtown Phoenix, for witness and prayer. A wall, trees, and asphalt strip…Continue Reading

Is Trump Facing A 1960s-Style Revolt?

November 6, 2019 Featured Today Comments Off on Is Trump Facing A 1960s-Style Revolt?

By PATRICK J. BUCHANAN Sunday morning, October 27, President Trump announced that the world’s worst terrorist, the head of the ISIS caliphate who had raped an American woman, had received justice. About to be captured and carried off in a helicopter by U.S. Special Forces, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi blew himself up with an explosive vest in a compound in northwest Syria. The long search for the sadist and fanatic had ended in triumph. No U.S. troops were lost. That evening, Trump went out to the fifth game of the World Series between the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros. As his face was flashed on the big screen, the stadium erupted with people booing and chanting, “Impeach Trump!” and “Lock him…Continue Reading

Is Homosexuality Irrelevant To Clerical Sex Abuse?

November 5, 2019 Featured Today Comments Off on Is Homosexuality Irrelevant To Clerical Sex Abuse?

By FR. BRIAN W. HARRISON, OS The ugly and shameful topic of clerical sexual abuse has once again hit the headlines over the last year, prompting renewed questions about its causes. The authoritative John Jay College of Criminal Justice study (1) found that about 81 percent of clerically abused minors between 1950 and 2002 were males. Indeed, if we focus only on the older (pubescent and post-pubescent) victims, the male majority is even more overwhelming: in both the 11-14 years and 15-17 years age groups the proportion of boy to girl victims was 85 percent to 15 percent. (2) Yet many of our most prominent clerics, such as Cardinals Blase Cupich and Joseph Tobin, and Fr. James Martin, SJ, insist…Continue Reading

Show Me Your Stretch Marks

November 3, 2019 Featured Today Comments Off on Show Me Your Stretch Marks

By DONALD DeMARCO There are two things we should do each morning when we rise: pray and stretch. Come to think of it, the two are really the same. Both represent a reaching beyond ourselves. Sleep nourished us. The new day bids us to reach, with God’s help, for something that requires effort. And though we may not secure the stars, it is reaching that we are asked to do. “A man’s reach should exceed his grasp,” Robert Browning advised, “or what’s a heaven for.” Our mission in life is not merely to survive but to thrive. Stretching is stepping in the direction of Heaven. Stretching, however, has its naysayers. The cosmetic industry spends millions of dollars on producing various…Continue Reading
