Illegal Or Not

January 29, 2023 Frontpage Comments Off on Illegal Or Not

By BARBARA SIMPSON The latest figures from the feds regarding the number of illegals crossing our Southern border are astonishing — 66,000 in February alone. That is the highest number in the month of February in eleven years – it’s the highest number in any month in ten years.The astonishing fact is that these people are not coming from Mexico, they’re coming through Mexico, and they’re coming here from a long list of countries, literally across the world. Not surprisingly, many do come from Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, but thousands more are from other Central and South American countries as well as from Cuba and other Caribbean countries in addition to people from Europe, Asia, and former “Iron…Continue Reading

Forward March!

January 28, 2023 Frontpage Comments Off on Forward March!

By CHRISTOPHER MANION Arlington Bishop Michael Burbidge, chairman of the Pro-Life Committee of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), presided at the USCCB’s Mass for pro-life leaders the day before a hundred thousand joyous pro-lifers filled the streets of Washington to join in the Fiftieth Annual March for Life.“There is much to celebrate,” Bishop Burbidge said, “there is much to be grateful for. After decades of marching alongside our fellow Americans and our fellow Catholics, of praying for an end to the grievous miscarriage of justice that took place in Roe v. Wade, of gathering before the Supreme Court in protest, we can finally say that Roe is no more.”Since 1974, generations of pro-lifers had marched, determined to bring…Continue Reading

A Fight Between Sense And Insanity . . . Pro-lifers Love The U.S. Despite The Evils Done In Its Name

January 27, 2023 Frontpage Comments Off on A Fight Between Sense And Insanity . . . Pro-lifers Love The U.S. Despite The Evils Done In Its Name

By DEXTER DUGGAN Why do people choose a certain path in life, whether political, religious, occupational or otherwise? Why do some see patriotism as admirable while others see it as constricting and tribalist?Why do some seek God’s own revealed truth in religion, while others think it’s up to them to construct whatever makes them feel good and think that God is subject to their feelings?Other people may fall somewhere in between these in their attitudes, but political conservatives and political liberals don’t see the world with the same gaze.An example occurred at the pro-life presentation given January 13 by the nationally known Defend Life activist organization in Bethesda, Md., that featured remarks by Frank Pavone, the pro-life longtime internationally activist…Continue Reading

In Deceptive World Of Politics . . . Are Biden, Hobbs Their Own Sorts Of Potemkin Villages?

January 26, 2023 Frontpage Comments Off on In Deceptive World Of Politics . . . Are Biden, Hobbs Their Own Sorts Of Potemkin Villages?

By DEXTER DUGGAN PHOENIX — When Joe Biden went to a carefully sanitized city of El Paso on January 8 under the pretense that he actually was looking into border problems caused by the invasion, critics said this was his Potemkin village visit — a reference to a deceptively arranged situation to make it look better.Well, how about thinking of Biden as his own sort of ongoing Potemkin village?Goofy, harmless Grandpa Joe actually manages to remember most of the words in singing “Happy Birthday” — while his administration imposes the most depraved, evil policies ever widely inflicted on the United States, and beyond.Easily confused, sleepy, cognitively impaired bad Catholic Joe isn’t even sure how to exit the stage — while…Continue Reading

Cardinal Pell’s Lessons From Prison

January 25, 2023 Frontpage Comments Off on Cardinal Pell’s Lessons From Prison

By CHRISTOPHER MANION Prison Journal by George Cardinal Pell (Ignatius Press: three volumes, $53.88 on Amazon). The untimely death of Cardinal George Pell has given rise both to sorrow and praise. In the midst of it all, there comes to mind one crowning achievement that can teach us all: the valiant and forgiving spirit that he nurtured during the thirteen months that he spent in prison, as reflected in the diary entries that he wrote every day.Cardinal Pell went to prison not because he had committed a crime, but because he had been falsely accused. And a false accusation is foul indeed.A false accusation violates the Eighth Commandment, but can also violate several more. If prompted by envy, it violates…Continue Reading

Maryland “Catholic” Hospital Loses… Diocese Curbs Gender “Wokeness”

January 23, 2023 Frontpage Comments Off on Maryland “Catholic” Hospital Loses… Diocese Curbs Gender “Wokeness”

By DEACON MIKE MANNO By now I think most have seen or heard about the un-woke gender policies that have been adopted by Des Moines Bishop William Joensen. As diocesan clergy, I received an advance copy of the policy but was still surprised when an old Creighton buddy called at 7:30 in the morning it was released to the public to congratulate me for having a bishop willing to take a firm stand on this gender identity nonsense infecting society.It seems he heard of our new policy on the FOX News program Fox and Friends which I actually had on at the time. I also noticed the story was picked up nationally by Newsmax as well. Now I can’t listen…Continue Reading

Biden: Truth Or Falsehood

January 22, 2023 Frontpage Comments Off on Biden: Truth Or Falsehood

By BARBARA SIMPSON After all the headlines, media chatter, and accusations about the classified documents found in Donald Trumps’ Florida home, you would think that the opposition party, the Democrats, would be doing all it could to keep their own record clean.Not so, given the revelations about the classified papers being found in Joe Biden’s properties — from his home in Delaware, in his garage, in his office at Penn State and even in his own office.The search continues and as more and more classified papers are being found, President Biden has not said anything about how and why the papers are so scattered. Biden now has his own lawyers doing most of the searching but what the result of…Continue Reading

By KATIE YODER WASHINGTON, D.C. (CNA) — The U.S. Catholic bishops are challenging the Biden administration after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced for the first time that pharmacies can distribute abortion drugs.“The FDA should protect the life and health of both mothers and children, not loosen safety standards under industry or political pressures,” Bishop Michael F. Burbidge of Arlington, Va., the chair of the bishops’ Committee on Pro-Life Activities, said Friday, January 6.“We call on the administration to correct its policy priorities and stand with mothers in need.”Burbidge’s statement was in response to the FDA’s new decision to allow any patient with a prescription to obtain the drug mifepristone from her local retail pharmacy if it is…Continue Reading
