Airborne Sinema Not Only Victim . . . How To Stop A Political Hijacker If He Rules White House Cockpit?

October 10, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on Airborne Sinema Not Only Victim . . . How To Stop A Political Hijacker If He Rules White House Cockpit?

By DEXTER DUGGAN PHOENIX — The cover page of the German news magazine Der Spiegel showed a photo of the Alps as seen looking out an airliner window.Nothing startling about that, although you expect powerful illustrations to catch your eye at the newsstand. Except this photo was chilling for what it didn’t shriek out, but was all too well understood back when it hit the racks in 2015.The young co-pilot of a Germanwings commercial jet had just intentionally crashed a planeload of people into the French Alps, on March 24, 2015. Such a view from the window may have been one of the last sights doomed passengers saw. They had no reason to expect looming tragedy on the morning flight…Continue Reading

Catholic “Social Justice” Alliance Is All-In For Biden

October 9, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on Catholic “Social Justice” Alliance Is All-In For Biden

By CHRISTOPHER MANION In December 1971, a group of Catholic sisters creates a nationwide “network” of women religious who would trade the spiritual charisms of their communities for a life of political activism devoted to “Social Justice.”The Network Lobby’s first newsletter addressed several specific issues: “international poverty, congressional reform, minimum wage, child care, consumer protection, the environment, farmworker rights, healthcare, opposition to the Vietnam War, prison reform, tax fairness, welfare reform, and women’s rights.”This was the unfortunate reflection of the collapse of religious life throughout much of the West.Not long afterward, Mother Mary Elise, SND, and several valiant coworkers formed the Consortium Perfectae Caritatis. The Consortium welcomed women who sought to preserve the spirit and charisms of their communities, in…Continue Reading

How Should We Treat The Remains Of The Dead?

October 8, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on How Should We Treat The Remains Of The Dead?

By JOE SIXPACK Recently, I was asked what should be done with the remains of our cremated loved ones. More specifically, the questioner realized he knew someone who was keeping the remains and not disposing of them. Let’s deal with that.Just what is a Catholic’s obligation regarding the remains of the dead? Well, let’s give a brief history, then talk about ordinary burial, then talk about cremation.Historically, Christians followed the Jews in disposing of corpses by burial rather than by cremation. The Christian thought was that cremation was an unnatural and violent destruction of the human body, the repository of the Holy Spirit for Catholics who had been baptized. But since no principle of faith would be jeopardized by cremation,…Continue Reading

UN Assembly Drones On

October 7, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on UN Assembly Drones On

By JOHN J. METZLER One of the rites of autumn has been playing out in New York, as the annual UN General Assembly meeting plowed through its list of 193 speakers in under a week.Just before the session started, the South Korean boy band BTS put on a K-pop song and dance routine inside the cavernous Assembly hall.UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres opened the debate with a stark challenge, “We are on the edge of an abyss, and moving in the wrong direction. Our world has never been more threatened.”While presidents and prime ministers droned on in the majestic Assembly hall, the audience was often sparse and not particularly engaged. All the more reason why so many speakers took advantage of…Continue Reading

Although Media Turn Focus Away . . . Arizona Audit Shows Many Votes’ Legality In Question

October 6, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on Although Media Turn Focus Away . . . Arizona Audit Shows Many Votes’ Legality In Question

By DEXTER DUGGAN PHOENIX — Like athletes who don’t want to wait until late in the game to start scoring, political operatives aim to establish their narrative rapidly, whether true or false, before the other side starts framing a picture for the public.Even before Donald Trump could start building a conservative agenda in the White House, fierce Democrat foes falsely blasted him as a Russian agent, conspirator, and traitor — who shortly came under official investigation. Trump and his staff probably used up at least as much time fighting against this fusillade as trying to deliver on his proposals.Likewise, even before the long-awaited Arizona Senate’s audit report of the 2020 Maricopa County election was released to the public on September…Continue Reading

A Beacon Of Light… The Lord, The Giver Of Life

October 5, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on A Beacon Of Light… The Lord, The Giver Of Life

By FR. RICHARD BRETON (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.) + + A few weeks ago, we began our current series dedicated to teaching the faith. To assist us in this responsibility, we have been journeying through the first section, or pillar, of the Catechism that deals with understanding the Creed. We gained a better understanding of the importance of believing in Someone, rather than in something. This opened our minds and hearts to a better appreciation of who God is in our lives, especially as Father and…Continue Reading

And It Doesn’t Ever Let Up

October 4, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on And It Doesn’t Ever Let Up

By DEACON MIKE MANNO There is an old saying, “If at first you do not succeed, try, try again.” That now seems to be the mantra for the crazy anti-religious zealots who populate blue state administrative agencies.About a year ago a Federal District Court in New York granted a request for a preliminary injunction against the state commissioner for the Office of Children and Families (OCFS) in favor of a Christian adoption agency, New Hope Family Services.New Hope’s lawsuit was provoked by a rule promulgated by OCFS which prohibited “discrimination and harassment against applicants for adoption services on the basis of race, creed, color, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, religion, or disability.” Ultimately,…Continue Reading

A Plague For Each Letter In Alphabet . . . Biggest Illness Biden Should Fight: Phony Dream Of Glory

October 3, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on A Plague For Each Letter In Alphabet . . . Biggest Illness Biden Should Fight: Phony Dream Of Glory

By DEXTER DUGGAN At what point might Joe Biden’s war against the United States grow so serious that he finally could be rebuked as a threateningly bad Catholic in need of public repentance before he can show up for the Eucharist at church?Biden’s growing intrusion into Americans’ lives to force them to be vaccinated, threatening them with the loss of their very livelihoods if they don’t give him medical control of their bodies, illustrates not merely his lust for power but also his inability to be rational at all.One of the last things a struggling economy needs is fining employers big-time and punishing and firing countless workers trying to support their families. The flu is bad, but has Biden tried…Continue Reading

Pelosi’s Congress Declares War On Life . . . “Nothing Short Of Child Sacrifice”

October 2, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on Pelosi’s Congress Declares War On Life . . . “Nothing Short Of Child Sacrifice”

By CHRISTOPHER MANION On September 7, Erie County District Attorney John J. Flynn charged 30-year-old Andee Wright with second-degree murder. The New York mother was accused of killing her newborn son, whom she had carried to term, moments after his birth in October 2020. The body of the child was found in a garbage can in the basement of the woman’s home the next morning.A grim story indeed. But if Nancy Pelosi’s new abortion bill had already been passed into law, Wright could be a free woman today. Under Pelosi’s law, all Wright needed to do was to enlist the services of a random medical “professional” — not necessarily a doctor — to abort her son the day before. Had…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.) + + I would like to begin this week’s column by responding to a reader’s concern regarding my article of October 7, 2021, entitled, “Lord, The Giver of Life.”Here is what the reader questions: “Fr. Breton writes in error when he states that: ‘We see this during the epiclesis at Mass when the priest lays his hand over the bread and wine as the Holy Spirit transforms them into the Sacred Body and Blood of Christ.’“Fr.…Continue Reading
