Have Our Bishops Embraced The Schumer Doctrine?

November 26, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on Have Our Bishops Embraced The Schumer Doctrine?

By CHRISTOPHER MANION Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) has revealed a curious motive for his support of unlimited illegal immigration.“Now more than ever, we’re short of workers,” he told reporters outside the Capitol on November 16. “We have a population that is not reproducing on its own, with the same level that it used to. The only way we’re going to have a great future in America is if we welcome and embrace immigrants, the ‘Dreamers’ — and all of them, because our ultimate goal is to help the Dreamers but get a path to citizenship for all 11 million or however many undocumented there are here.”This palaver is nothing new from the Left. These champions of the…Continue Reading

By STEVEN ERTELT WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeNews) — Justice Samuel Alito received a standing ovation at a Federalist Society event for authoring the decision that overturned Roe v. Wade and allowed states to protect babies from abortions.A Reuters report described it as the “loudest applause at the event.”As Yahoo News reported, “The hundreds of lawyers and law students in attendance gave Alito another standing ovation when a speaker onstage, Stephen Markman, a former Michigan Supreme Court justice, praised his opinion in the June ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that had protected abortion rights.”“I do not know of any decision on any court by any judge of which that judge could be more proud,” Markman said.During his…Continue Reading

November 24, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on Biden Pulls A Fast One On The Kids

By CHRISTOPHER MANION CNN’s exit polls of those voting for Members of the U.S. House of Representatives found that Republicans won among those over 65 (+13 percent) and those 45-64 (+11 percent), while Democrats won among those between 30 and 44 (+2 percent) and those 18-29 (+28 percent).Yahoo News reports that, two days after the polls closed, “Joe Biden thanked young voters for turning out in historic numbers. ‘They voted to continue addressing the climate crisis, gun violence, their personal rights and freedoms and the student debt relief,’ he said.”Uh-Oh.That same day, a Federal Court in Fort Worth, Texas, vacated Biden’s “unlawful” student loan payoff, calling it “an unconstitutional exercise of Congress’ legislative power.”As U.S. District Judge Mark T. Pittman…Continue Reading

Resurrection To Follow?. . . Analysis Begins On “Underwhelming” Midterm Vote Result For GOP

November 23, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on Resurrection To Follow?. . . Analysis Begins On “Underwhelming” Midterm Vote Result For GOP

By DEXTER DUGGAN PHOENIX — I recently noticed a man at daily Mass at my parish wearing a black hoodie with a large image of a skull on his back. What biker gang’s member was showing off its colors?When I managed to read the words around the skull, it turned out not to be threatening a violent end to a gang’s enemies, but the classic Christian “memento mori” skeletal reminder that death comes to everyone, so be spiritually prepared for that day. If you’ve been good, resurrection follows.Appearances aren’t necessarily what they seem.Much analysis followed the November 8 midterm elections, including considerable surprise that the Republican Party didn’t do as well as anticipated.During a November 16 interview on Phoenix-based KKNT…Continue Reading

A Beacon Of Light… The Family Is A Great Gift From God

November 22, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on A Beacon Of Light… The Family Is A Great Gift From God

By FR. RICHARD D. BRETON Jr. (Editor’s Note: Fr. Richard D. Breton Jr. is a priest of the Diocese of Norwich, Conn.) + + One of the greatest gifts the Lord has bestowed upon us is the gift of the family. The family is an essential part of God’s plan of creation. It is here that future generations are formed, and the plan of creation is maintained.There does exist a problem, however, regarding the dignity of the family. In today’s society there is a problem that exists when the dignity of the family is under attack. This attack occurs from all sides and continues the deterioration of the gift that the family is to society. This shouldn’t be surprising, considering…Continue Reading

The Catholic Roots Of Thanksgiving

November 21, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on The Catholic Roots Of Thanksgiving

By DEACON MIKE MANNO As Thanksgiving approached I began thinking about what to write for a good Thanksgiving column, especially after last week’s column about my father, baseball, and youthful times in Philadelphia.As I wracked my brain for an idea, I remembered a friendship I developed as an aspiring novelist with another writer looking for her first publisher as well. She and I met in an online writers’ group and while we never actually met person to person, we did develop a friendship which lasted several years.She was a teacher and interested in children’s books and told me about the book on which she was working about the first Thanksgiving in what became the United States — it was not…Continue Reading

A Brief Introduction To Plato

November 20, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on A Brief Introduction To Plato

By DONALD DeMARCO Plato’s philosophy is both systematic and encyclopedic. He covers virtually all the issues that belong to the realm of philosophy. Philosopher Alfred North Whitehead pays tribute to him by stating that all philosophy after Plato is merely a series of footnotes to the great thinker.Nonetheless, his philosophy is not difficult to grasp. I would like to exemplify this point by citing Euthyphro, one of his Dialogues. In this story, Socrates and Euthyphro meet at the courthouse. Socrates will be tried for corrupting the youth of Athens, while Euthyphro is filing a charge of homicide against his father. Socrates is a person who claims to know nothing, but is eager to learn. By contrast, Euthyphro, a soothsayer/theologian, is…Continue Reading

The Battle For Life Comes Close To Home

November 19, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on The Battle For Life Comes Close To Home

By CHRISTOPHER MANION Well, the election is over — sort of — so governors, legislatures, and courts in fifty states will now be front and center in the battle for life as the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization takes effect.Unfortunately, the end of Roe v. Wade doesn’t mean the end of abortion. Of course, in some states with pre-existing or trigger laws, it did. But in other states it has had the unhappy consequence of actually expanding abortions.California, for example, now offers to pay mothers from other states to visit a California abortuary to end their baby’s life. Pro-abortion governors in other Democrat states, like Illinois and Maryland, are also promoting their abortion businesses, advertising…Continue Reading

What A Ride!

November 18, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on What A Ride!

By JOE SIXPACK All good things must come to an end, and this column is no exception, but it’s been quite a ride. I’ve been writing (under various names), teaching, and evangelizing for almost thirty-five years. God has used me to make hundreds of converts and reverts through one-on-one and small group venues, articles, my weekly Sharing the Catholic Faith webinars, two columns, The Cantankerous Catholic podcast (https://cantankerouscatholic.com/), and my weekly parish bulletin insert program.But it’s through this column in The Wanderer that I’ve been able to fulfill a dream to regularly write for this paper, and to remotely make so many wonderful friends through your kind emails. Well, mostly they’ve been kind, but even the less charitable ones have…Continue Reading

November Surprise . . . After Nearly Two Years, Some Voters Aren’t So Unhappy With Their Suffering

November 17, 2022 Frontpage Comments Off on November Surprise . . . After Nearly Two Years, Some Voters Aren’t So Unhappy With Their Suffering

By DEXTER DUGGAN PHOENIX — Democrat Bill Clinton was elected president for the first time, in 1992, with only a 43 percent plurality of the vote. Republican incumbent George H.W. Bush came in second with more than 37 percent, while third-party gadfly Ross Perot drained off a vital nearly 19 percent.Clinton portrayed Bush as out of touch with ordinary concerns, while Perot railed against wasteful spending.When Clinton’s Democratic Party faced his first midterm election two years later, in 1994, it lost a thumping 54 seats of the majority it held in the U.S. House, giving the GOP its first control of the lower chamber since 1952. Republicans ran against Clinton’s failed government health-care proposal.While the party in the White House…Continue Reading
