The Disappearing Manifesto Syndrome

April 3, 2023 Frontpage Comments Off on The Disappearing Manifesto Syndrome

By CHRISTOPHER MANION The recent Nashville attack by a “transgender” woman who targeted Christians in a Nashville school brings to mind a murderous attack with ominous parallels. Some eight years ago, here in my own state of Virginia, a fellow named Vester Flanagan murdered two of his former coworkers in Roanoke and drove three hours north on the Interstate. He then pulled over to the curb and killed himself a couple of miles down the road from our home. Who was Vester Flanagan, and why did he do it? Flanagan had once worked with his two victims at a local TV station in Bedford County, but he left while they continued to build their careers. A black homosexual and avowed…Continue Reading

By TERENCE P. JEFFREY Three years ago, Jason Rivera wrote a letter to the New York City Police Academy, explaining why he wanted to be a police officer.“When I applied to become a police officer, I knew this was the career for me,” he said.“I would be the first person in my family to become a police officer,” Rivera wrote, as reported by the Daily Mail. “Coming from an immigrant family, I will be the first to say that I am a member of the NYPD, the greatest police force in the world.“Growing up in New York City, I realized how impactful my role as a police officer would go in this chaotic city of about 10 million people,” he…Continue Reading

Holy Week: A Preparation For The End Times

March 30, 2023 Frontpage Comments Off on Holy Week: A Preparation For The End Times

By JAMES MONTI For centuries, the faithful have pondered and wondered just what the mysterious prophecies of the Book of Revelation mean. Of course, like the prophecies of the Old Testament, these prophecies of the end times won’t be fully understood until they are totally fulfilled. Yet like the rest of Sacred Scripture, the Book of Revelation does tell us much of what we need to know and believe here and now. What can already be discerned from afar is that in the end times the Church will experience her ultimate participation in the Passion and death of Christ, her ultimate Good Friday.The events of the very first Holy Week certainly have an apocalyptic look and feel to them, complete…Continue Reading

By DEXTER DUGGAN PHOENIX — The New York Post posted an editorial on March 20 noting both that a beloved $1 slice of local street pizza now costs $1.50 and that Joe Biden had just vetoed a bipartisan bill to allow retirement fiduciaries to focus on improving their clients’ investments.No, no, said Democrat Joe. People’s 401(k) money should be encouraged into “woke” companies that aren’t turning a profit.Fox News Digital posted a story on March 20 quoting various criticisms of the veto, including Oklahoma GOP Sen. Markwayne Mullin saying, “Biden administration’s reckless ESG rule proves nothing is off-limits when it comes to Joe Biden’s radical green agenda — even Americans’ hard-earned retirement savings.”Bad Catholic Biden continued dispensing plenty of pain…Continue Reading

A Beacon of Light… The Sixth Word And The Incarnation

March 28, 2023 Frontpage Comments Off on A Beacon of Light… The Sixth Word And The Incarnation

By FR. RICHARD D. BRETON, Jr. In order for us to truly enter into the message of the “sixth word” of Christ on the cross, we have to return to the moment of the Incarnation. The Prologue of St. John’s Gospel helps to focus us on the Incarnation:“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. This one was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him not one thing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the light of humanity. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.…Continue Reading

California Democrats Are Coming After Your Kids

March 27, 2023 Frontpage Comments Off on California Democrats Are Coming After Your Kids

By DEACON MIKE MANNO The problem of one-party control is being amply demonstrated in the State of California. In case you have not heard, California has now become a sanctuary state for gender confused children who are seeking a refuge from their parents who do not countenance their little ones — some not yet old enough to drive — making medical decisions for themselves that will affect their lives in a largely negative way. So why don’t we just let California be California? After all, just let those people suffer under the radical leftists that they elect.Here’s why: The new bill, SB 107, sponsored by left-wing political gadfly State Sen. Scott Wiener, and the usual zoo animals that comprise the…Continue Reading

A Bit Of Basic Philosophy

March 26, 2023 Frontpage Comments Off on A Bit Of Basic Philosophy

By DONALD DeMARCO The problem with philosophy rests squarely with philosophers. Philosophy should be as natural as breathing. But philosophers, in order to write lengthy and obscure treatises, and create the impression of being original, have removed philosophy from the reach of ordinary human beings and claimed it for themselves.Few people, however, are interested in reading academic treatises, and nothing is new under the sun.Pope St. John Paul II was an exceptional philosopher in that he wrote and spoke about reality as it is, and not as it is twisted into a form that is either novel or consistent with the temper of the times. We can say that his basic philosophy can be summarized in two words: “anthropocentric realism.”He…Continue Reading

An Unhappy Anniversary

March 25, 2023 Frontpage Comments Off on An Unhappy Anniversary

By CHRISTOPHER MANION On Ash Wednesday, March 5, 2003, George W. Bush met with Pio Cardinal Laghi, the Pope’s personal emissary, at the White House. The cardinal had once served as the Holy See’s first Ambassador to the United States, and Pope John Paul II had chosen him to deliver a personal letter to the president,According to White House sources familiar with the meeting, Bush put the letter aside without reading it. After he lectured the cardinal for half an hour about the threat of Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction, the meeting was over.Bush often treated Republican senators in the same fashion. While the “yes-men” (and women) on his White House staff were easily intimidated, senators weren’t. When the Republican…Continue Reading

A Big Win For Life — For Now

March 24, 2023 Frontpage Comments Off on A Big Win For Life — For Now

By CHRISTOPHER MANION Chris Slattery stands out as one of the country’s most intrepid front-line pro-life veterans — he’s a veteran of hand-to-hand combat on the streets of New York, an American abortion capital.Slattery, once a successful marketer fresh out of Boston College, changed gears early on and chose to market for life — and devoted his life to it. He founded Expectant Mothers Care (EMC) some forty years ago, and his centers have saved thousands of lives by parking mobile ultrasound units in front of Planned Parenthood abortuaries, organizing sidewalk counseling brigades, offering free ultrasounds and counseling at several locations — all while enraging two generations of pro-abortion pols (I think he’s been sued by every attorney general of…Continue Reading

The False Sacramentality Of Woke

March 23, 2023 Frontpage Comments Off on The False Sacramentality Of Woke

By PAUL KRAUSE In The City of God, St. Augustine noted that the cities of men will be doomed to destruction and slavery unless the people reach out to God and the worship of true religion. This wouldn’t ensure man’s political salvation but would ensure that man would become part of that society which would last forever in love instead of domination and his soul would be transformed, redeemed, and saved. The city of God demands even more than the city of man.The revival of pagan political ideology arguably begins in the late Renaissance and starts to run apace in early modernity, leading to its horrific climax in the twentieth century with fascism, Nazism, and Communism. Pagan political mythology rests…Continue Reading
