“Gender” Uproar Threatens Democrats In Blue Virginia

October 30, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on “Gender” Uproar Threatens Democrats In Blue Virginia

By CHRISTOPHER MANION As Joe Biden and Barack Obama traveled to Virginia in support of Terry McAuliffe, the Democrats’ controversial “gender agenda” has blown up in their face.In recent years, Northern Virginia’s Loudoun County has become one of the richest jurisdictions in the United States thanks to the growth of the federal government. So, of course, it’s full of Democrats. Virginia’s Washington suburbs voted overwhelmingly for Biden a year ago.But today Loudoun County has become a focal point in the battle mounted by parents against the racist and morally perverted agendas promoted by radical school boards, not only in Virginia, but across the country.Loudoun resident Scott Smith’s ninth-grade daughter was raped last May by a boy in a skirt who…Continue Reading

Catholic Is More Than Just A Word

October 29, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on Catholic Is More Than Just A Word

By JOE SIXPACK If you read last week’s installment, you saw where my wife was having a conversation with a friend who is an anti-Catholic Protestant Fundamentalist, and her conversation inspired the last article. This article is also inspired by a conversation with her.It seems that my wife was trying to share the Catholic Gospel message with this lady. When my wife mentioned to her that the one true Church founded by Christ is the Catholic Church, the lady replied (in her typical arrogantly self-assured and dismissive manner), “Catholic is just a word.”Is Catholic just a word? Well, sure it is. It’s an English word derived from the Greek word “katholikos.” It means “universal.” Of course, it also explicitly applies…Continue Reading

By DEXTER DUGGAN Pro-lifers have made a variety of sacrifices over the decades, but it’s rare for one of them to be directly killed — unlike the preborn babies they try to protect. But that was the fate of longtime Member of Parliament and pro-lifer Sir David Amess at Leigh-on-Sea, England, on October 15.The widely admired Amess, 69, a member of the Conservative Party, was brutally knifed repeatedly just after noon while he met with constituents as he did the everyday duty of a veteran public servant.How many people had walked up to Amess over the decades to seek help with their problems — until this knifeman astoundingly began slashing with his blade. Gun control would have done no good.Police…Continue Reading

Can Catholic Politicians Please Act Like Catholics?

October 27, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on Can Catholic Politicians Please Act Like Catholics?

By CHRISTOPHER MANION When the Satanic Temple announced its opposition to the Texas heartbeat law, San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone had a ready reply.“The Texas heartbeat law is being challenged by the Satanic Temple, precisely on the grounds that it is a violation of their religious liberty,” Cordileone told EWTN’s Pro-Life Weekly. “They need to have access to abortion to carry out their rituals. It’s a satanic practice.”His Excellency wasn’t kidding. Last month, Lucien Greaves, founder of the Satanic Temple, told Fox7 in Austin that the group’s “abortion ritual is an expression of that belief and the heartbeat bill violates their religious freedom.” The group “recently sent a letter to the FDA asking the church to be allowed access to…Continue Reading

By FR. RICHARD D. BRETON JR. (Editor’s Note: Fr. Richard D. Breton Jr. is a priest of the Diocese of Norwich, Conn. He received his BA in religious studies and his MA in dogmatic theology from Holy Apostles College and Seminary in Cromwell, Conn.) + + Having completed the first pillar of the Catechism, namely our profession of faith as recited in the Creed, today we turn our focus to the second pillar of the Catechism which will discuss the importance of the Celebration of the Christian Mystery, also referred to as the liturgy.Why is the liturgy so important? Precisely because it is the symbol of faith that the Church confesses through the Holy Trinity and in it the plan…Continue Reading

A Dishonest Judge And The Fight For Life

October 25, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on A Dishonest Judge And The Fight For Life

By DEACON MIKE MANNO In 2013 the investigative journalist David Daleiden, and his firm, Center for Medical Progress, went undercover to expose the illegal activities of the abortion industry. During the following 30 months, he documented the sale and purchase of aborted baby parts. He was able to document that oftentimes these baby parts were purchased with tax dollars for research purposes.He also found that some organs would fetch a higher price if the abortion was performed in a manner that might cause a higher risk to the mother seeking the abortion. His report also indicated that some of the fetal parts sold were from babies that were actually born alive.In 2015 he began to release the undercover videos he…Continue Reading

Or Would That Violate A Climate Accord?. . . Will We Even Find A Lump Of Banned Coal In Christmas Stockings?

By DEXTER DUGGAN Attributing one’s own prejudices, disreputable tactics and fears to one’s foes by the technique of projection has grown especially prominent in recent years.Left-wing extremists seek to disable conservatives by blasting them for supposedly thinking and acting the way the left actually operates.We’ve seen pro-abortionists make up the accusation that if pro-life laws were enacted, women would be fired from their jobs for having abortions.A totally bogus charge. However, Joe Biden’s Marxist-poisoned administration oversees actual brutal firings and threats of firings all around the United States of innocent, vital workers who reject his demands that they get injections against a virus that generally has more than a 99 percent survival rate.This is not the bubonic plague, but wicked…Continue Reading

Who Can Unite It? . . . Joe Biden Has Divided The Country

October 23, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on Who Can Unite It? . . . Joe Biden Has Divided The Country

By CHRISTOPHER MANION Since the 2020 presidential campaign, Democrats have consistently depicted supporters of Donald Trump — Hillary Clinton’s “Deplorables” — not as the competition but as the enemy.When the China Virus first appeared, Nancy Pelosi’s House Democrats were busy trying, and failing once again, to impeach Donald Trump. Then came the lockdowns, the most severe of which were imposed by Democrat governors. Their policies failed to curb the virus but succeeded and destroying hundreds of thousands of small businesses and millions of jobs, while inflicting profound and lasting damage on tens of millions of American children of school age.And destruction has been the watchword ever since.The violent summer of 2020, ignored by the media and dismissed by Democrats as…Continue Reading

Catholicism And Cannibalism

October 22, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on Catholicism And Cannibalism

By JOE SIXPACK The other day, my wife was having a discussion with one of her friends, who just happens to be an anti-Catholic Protestant Fundamentalist. When the topic turned to the Most Holy Eucharist and Communion, the lady dismissively said, “That’s cannibalism.” Her reaction is wrong, sounds crude, is an insult to any Catholic listening, but a reaction that is actually older than the Eucharist Itself.Before I craft an answer to her accusation, let’s begin by defining what the Catholic understanding of the Most Holy Eucharist is. Catholics in communion with the Church believe that Jesus gives us Himself under the appearances of bread and wine, fully and completely; He is truly present in His Body, Blood, Soul and…Continue Reading

St. John Paul II’s Advice… Session On Vatican II Documents Looks At Religious Freedom And Priestly Life

October 21, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on St. John Paul II’s Advice… Session On Vatican II Documents Looks At Religious Freedom And Priestly Life

By DEXTER DUGGAN PHOENIX — As a presentation concluded here that examined Vatican II statements for more than two hours, some advice from St. John Paul II was offered: “Get back to the documents. Get back to the documents.”Bill Marcotte, assistant director of the Institute of Catholic Theology (ICT), recalled those papal words as he pointed to the importance of knowing what the Second Vatican Council actually taught, not what had been “hijacked.”The ICT is an evangelization program based here at St. Thomas the Apostle Church. Its fall program is examining Vatican II decrees and declarations. On October 9 it took up religious freedom and priestly life and formation.Eric Westby, Ph.D., director of the ICT, seconded Marcotte and said the…Continue Reading
