A Beacon Of Light… Christmas, A Time Of Great Joy!

December 26, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on A Beacon Of Light… Christmas, A Time Of Great Joy!

By FR. RICHARD D. BRETON JR. (Editor’s Note: Fr. Richard D. Breton Jr. is a priest of the Diocese of Norwich, Conn.) + + “And there were in the same country shepherds watching and keeping the night watches over their flock. And behold an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the brightness of God shone round about them; and they feared with a great fear. And the angel said to them: Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, that shall be to all the people: For, this day, is born to you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David. And this shall be a sign unto you. You…Continue Reading

When It’s Time To Shovel Votes . . . There’s Plenty Of Room For Them At This Inn

By DEXTER DUGGAN Mary looked out from the stable. She was shocked that a blizzard was engulfing Bethlehem.“Come here quickly, Joseph,” she said. “We’re apparently being buried in a snowstorm. It gets chilly here in the winter, but not like this.”Joseph joined her, concerned that their Child might become isolated in such bad weather when He might need extra warmth or his parents need food.He stepped outside and was nearly blinded in an ocean of white. The substance already was up to his knees, but it wasn’t making his legs colder. This was strange.“Hey, buddy, glad to see ya,” said a voice coming down the road. “I was just about to knock on your doorpost. You are one very special…Continue Reading

Christmas Is A Second Coming

December 25, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on Christmas Is A Second Coming

By PAUL KRAUSE It is easy to forget that Advent is not actually about the Incarnation of Jesus Christ but about Christ’s Second Coming and the restoration of God’s family under the King of Kings. One can be forgiven in thinking Advent is about the simple birth of Christ: mangers and songs of Bethlehem abound in lawns and in the air and Scripture readings are generally from the passages dealing with the Annunciation and birth of Christ.Adventus, in Latin, is the equivalent of the Greek word Parousia, the term St. Paul uses to describe Christ’s triumphant return. Advent, then, is actually meant to draw our hearts and minds to receiving Christ into our homes when He comes again. For cultural…Continue Reading

The Magi And The Christmas Star

December 24, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on The Magi And The Christmas Star

By DONAL ANTHONY FOLEY As Advent draws to a close, we approach the feast of Christmas having passed through four weeks of preparation, a traditional symbol of the four thousand years between the fall of man and the coming of the Redeemer.Christmas is a time of joy, but it is also a time of mystery, and probably the most intriguing aspect of Christmas is the story of the Wise Men or Magi. In St. Matthew’s Gospel we read of their journey to visit the Christ Child during the reign of Herod, when they followed a mysterious Star in order to meet Christ, the Light of the World, in the form of a small baby.On the 6th of January we celebrate…Continue Reading

Dad Arrested For Protesting Abortion Slams FBI For Discrimination

December 22, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on Dad Arrested For Protesting Abortion Slams FBI For Discrimination

By MARY MARGARET HOLOHAN (LifeNews) — Attorneys for Mark Houck are moving to dismiss federal charges against the pro-life father arrested in a dramatic FBI dawn raid in front of his children.Houck’s legal team filed a motion to dismiss charges this past week in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, alleging that the Justice Department is violating the Constitution by engaging in “viewpoint discrimination” and “selective prosecution” against Houck.The pro-life father was arraigned on September 27 on two counts of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act when, outside a Pennsylvania abortion clinic, Houck allegedly pushed a pro-abortion activist who was allegedly antagonizing his son. Houck plead not guilty to the federal…Continue Reading

Another Scandal At Rome’s Academy For Life?

December 21, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on Another Scandal At Rome’s Academy For Life?

By CHRISTOPHER MANION Last weekend an important conference was held in Rome. The subject, of all things, was a book! But it was an important book — and a dangerous one as well.Last summer, the Pontifical Academy for Life, under the direction of Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, published a work entitled Etica teologica della Vita. Scrittura, tradizione, sfide pratiche (“Theological Ethics of Life. Scripture, Tradition, Challenges, and Practice”). The book’s appearance caused an immediate uproar, as commentators argued whether the Academy, founded by Pope St. John Paul II in 1994, was advocating a historic, indeed unprecedented, departure from Catholic teaching on fundamental moral questions.To address those questions, especially those addressing sexual morality, objective moral norms, and conscience, participants in the Rome…Continue Reading

Neither Right Nor Left, But Catholic . . . Responding To The Respect For Marriage Act

December 20, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on Neither Right Nor Left, But Catholic . . . Responding To The Respect For Marriage Act

By STEPHEN M. KRASON One of the major things the Democrats in Washington have pushed through before losing control of the House of Representatives with the new year to further the left’s assault on sexual morality, marriage, and the family is the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act from the mid-1990s and the enactment of the so-called Respect for Marriage Act.The Democrats were firmly for the previous law when it was enacted, but now they have become the thoroughgoing party of sexual revolution and the vanguard for the homosexualist movement. Of course, the acceptance of same-sex so-called “marriage” is nothing short of a repudiation of what man has understood since the beginning of time.In a certain sense, it was…Continue Reading

Joe Biden Is Clueless… His Handlers Are Not

December 19, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on Joe Biden Is Clueless… His Handlers Are Not

By CHRISTOPHER MANION The headline from the Associated Press says it all:“The White House is playing host to roughly 50 Democratic state lawmakers from 31 states this week as legislatures prepare for their upcoming sessions, aiming to talk over strategy on top issues like climate change, gun violence, abortion rights and voting rights.”Dementia Joe might not know what day it is, but his handlers — drawn from the highest ranks of a radical team of seasoned Obama veterans — have their eyes on the prize: after the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, and with divided government now on Capitol Hill, the states are the new battleground for issues that go far beyond abortion.The AP story is typical of…Continue Reading

Massive Invasion, Sex Twisting, Vote Fraud . . . How Much Longer Will Heaven Tolerate This Defiant Immorality?

December 18, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on Massive Invasion, Sex Twisting, Vote Fraud . . . How Much Longer Will Heaven Tolerate This Defiant Immorality?

By DEXTER DUGGAN PHOENIX — Every single day’s front page has to have a top story, but they all can’t be of equal significance or impact during 365 days of the year. Just as each day in your life doesn’t carry the same weight. A marriage or a birth isn’t the same as deciding to have pizza for Tuesday dinner.For instance, prolonged massive unauthorized immigration is bound to change the character or even existence of a nation, while an individual politician switching party affiliation likely has less historical heft.How many people recall the name of U.S. Sen. Jim Jeffords these days, even though the Vermonter’s switch from being Republican to an Independent caucusing with the Democrats in 2001 changed the…Continue Reading

Marriage Is A Truth That Cannot Be Redefined

December 17, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on Marriage Is A Truth That Cannot Be Redefined

By STAR PARKER The Respect for Marriage Act, codifying same-sex marriage as federal law, already decided as such by the Supreme Court in the Obergefell decision in 2015, has passed the Senate and the House, and President Joe Biden has now signed it into law.Let’s take a moment and consider what is going on.Some view acceptance of same-sex marriage as a bold new step to a freer and more just society. But, despite Gallup now showing 71 percent in favor of same-sex marriage, 58 percent of those who attend church weekly are opposed.Only 17 percent, per Gallup, now say that they are satisfied with the direction of the country. According to the General Social Survey, the percentage of Americans, since…Continue Reading
