Texas Federal Judge Makes The Case For The Rule Of Law

July 24, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on Texas Federal Judge Makes The Case For The Rule Of Law

By CHRISTOPHER MANION Last Friday, U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen of the Southern District of Texas delivered a stinging blow to Obama’s executive amnesty diktat known as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA.The program was born when Congress refused to pass immigration reform legislation for years. In 2012, Obama simply declared DACA to be law by fiat, legalizing over a million illegal alien minors.Two years later, Obama threatened to expand DACA with DAPA (“P” for “Parents”), legalizing four million more illegals.At that point twenty-six state attorneys general secured a nationwide preliminary injunction barring implementation of both measures.That alliance was led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a pro-life conservative who has fiercely defended the people of Texas…Continue Reading

The Sole Rule Of Faith?

July 23, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on The Sole Rule Of Faith?

BY JOE SIXPACK One day when she was scarcely five years old, St. Jane de Chantal (1572-1641) was playing in her father’s study while a discussion was going on between her father (Royalist President Fremyot) and a Protestant nobleman who had come to visit him. The Protestant remarked that what pleased him most in the reformed religion was the denial of the Real Presence of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament. Hearing him say this, the child couldn’t restrain herself. She went to the nobleman and looking at him indignantly said, “My lord, you must believe that Jesus Christ is in the Blessed Sacrament, because He said it. If you don’t believe, you make Him a liar.”Astonished by the child’s…Continue Reading

As Others Chafe Under Marxism . . . Leftists Yearn To Inject It Into U.S., Including For Health Care

By DEXTER DUGGAN Bunting beauty is in the eye of the beholder.In Hong Kong’s freedom protests now suppressed by the Communist Party, many American flags were held high as the symbol of the liberty and ideals that Chinese longed for.And in the new burst of Cuban opposition to that island’s Communist oppressors, U.S. flags also have emerged as the banner that repudiates three generations of political thuggery. Despite their Stalinist rule beginning in 1959, Havana’s Communist bosses failed to breed a new Marxist everyday man to willingly take their revolution forward.These are truly oppressed masses who raise their eyes to the U.S., not to Mao Zedong’s tomb in Beijing or Lenin’s in Moscow.However, to U.S. leftists, the American flag is…Continue Reading

Biden White House Shows Its Che Guevara Colors

July 21, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on Biden White House Shows Its Che Guevara Colors

By CHRISTOPHER MANION In the midst of Cuba’s most widespread pro-democracy demonstrations in years, the official Twitter account of Black Lives Matter (BLM) issued the following statement on Wednesday, July 14:“Black Lives Matter condemns the United States Government’s inhumane treatment of Cubans, and urges it to immediately end the economic embargo. This cruel and inhumane policy, instituted with the explicit intention of destabilizing the country and undermining the Cubans’ right to choose their own government, is at the heart of Cuba’s current crisis.”The statement praised the policies of the Castro cabal since 1962, especially its “strong medical care and history of lending doctors and nurses to countries around the world.”“Cuba has historically expressed solidarity with oppressed peoples of African descent…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.) + + Do you ever feel like a hamster, on a wheel, running around and around, and yet getting nowhere? At some time or another, we have all had this feeling in our lives. Sometimes the demands of daily life outweigh the other more important aspects of our lives and we find ourselves just going through the motions. Feeling this way is a sure sign that we need a break!But what can we do to rejuvenate…Continue Reading

Trump V. Twitter Suit Needs More Legal Gravitas

July 19, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on Trump V. Twitter Suit Needs More Legal Gravitas

By DEACON MIKE MANNO I will be the first to admit that I am no constitutional expert; but I think I know enough to evaluate a case and I have to come to the conclusion that former President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against Twitter lacks a certain amount of legal gravitas.As you probably know by now, Mr. Trump has filed class action lawsuits against Twitter and the other major social media companies. The central target in his suit is Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which protects Twitter and other social media outlets from lawsuits over their content, or in some cases, the lack of content.Section 230’s object was to allow these media outlets to block materials that were pornographic…Continue Reading

Spaceflight Billionaires . . . Look Down On A World That Often Looks Down On Decency

July 18, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on Spaceflight Billionaires . . . Look Down On A World That Often Looks Down On Decency

By DEXTER DUGGAN The space race for three free-spending billionaires was one way to break the fetters of Earth, while angry Cubans coincidentally protested Communist shackles here on the face of the planet in July after 60 years of real oppression, not just something theoretical thought up for the front page by dominant U.S. media.Was a new age of tourism breaking out early in the third decade of this millennium — both for the wealthy paying plenty to fly high for a sight of the Blue Planet they’ve trod all their lives, and also for those forcibly impoverished by Marxism on a Caribbean island who’d like to savor spreading their wings while welcoming more vacationers’ cash for their homeland economy?Expanding…Continue Reading

Fr. John Lovell . . . Talks About The Problem Of “Canceled” Priests

July 17, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on Fr. John Lovell . . . Talks About The Problem Of “Canceled” Priests

By CHRISTOPHER MANION In recent years, the American hierarchy has careened through a multitude of changes. The inflection point came when the secular media blew the lid off the hierarchy’s sex-abuse-and-coverup scandals almost twenty years ago.Bishops quickly responded to that eruption, not with transparency and accountability, but by circling the wagons, lawyering up, and putting then-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick in charge of their massive coverup operation. McCarrick began that operation by exempting bishops from the onerous “Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People [to which we should add, ‘and Bishops’],” the first of an endless stream of policies, programs, protocols, platitudes, and — in a scandal especially offensive to the faithful — payouts by the billions to alleged victims…Continue Reading

How God Answers Prayer

July 16, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on How God Answers Prayer

By JOE SIXPACK Jill, a young woman of about twenty, worked in an office building in New York City. She was supporting her chronically ill mother, but her salary wasn’t large enough to pay for all the poor woman’s treatments. She made one novena after another for a raise in her salary, but God didn’t seem to want to answer her prayers.In her frustration, Jill made up her mind that if God didn’t give her a raise after the novena she was currently praying, she’d never pray again. On the ninth day of the novena, Jill went to work bright and happy, believing that God was certain to answer her prayer this time and give her the raise. Her boss…Continue Reading

Not Too Courageous . . . Supreme Court Leaves Christian Florist Under Persecution By Leftists

July 15, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on Not Too Courageous . . . Supreme Court Leaves Christian Florist Under Persecution By Leftists

By DEXTER DUGGAN The U.S. Supreme Court declining to hear the case of a persecuted Christian florist as its term ended reinforced the view that its 6-3 alleged new conservative majority doesn’t hold together on “socially cultural” conservative issues, although it may produce some other results that a “liberal” court would not.Washington State florist Barronelle Stutzman had been under attack for around eight years because she declined to make a floral arrangement for a “same-sex wedding,” which violated her religious beliefs, although she willingly served homosexual customers along with everyone else for other requests.Stutzman was singled out for persecution by left-wing activists and their Washington State legal system. Although the homosexual couple could have had their floral arrangement done by…Continue Reading
