April 6, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on A Beacon Of Light . . . “My Lord And My God!”

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.) + + Jesus Christ is Risen, He is truly Risen, Alleluia, Alleluia! We have begun the celebration of the Easter Season and are basking in the glory of the Resurrection. The seven weeks of Easter are an invitation to a renewed relationship with the Risen Lord. Throughout the Easter Season, we read in Sacred Scripture that Jesus appears, or reveals Himself, several times to His disciples. On Easter Sunday, the Risen Lord appears five times. These…Continue Reading

One-Party Press In America

April 5, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on One-Party Press In America

By DEACON MIKE MANNO Anyone who has been even a casual reader of this column knows of my affinity for the profession of journalism and my deep disdain for the manner in which it is practiced today. Naturally, then, I was pleased and surprised that a federal appeals court judge also took aim at the press, and social media, while ruling on a case before him.The judge is Laurence H. Silberman, a Reagan appointee to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals who took senior status in 2000 but is still eligible to hear and rule on appellate cases. The case was an unremarkable one involving Liberian officials who were suing an international human rights organization for defaming them in a…Continue Reading

With Joe The Joke President . . . No Sweets For Lent, But Lots Of Abortion

April 4, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on With Joe The Joke President . . . No Sweets For Lent, But Lots Of Abortion

By DEXTER DUGGAN PHOENIX — Back on February 18, just after Ash Wednesday, the satirical Christian website The Babylon Bee joked that Joe Biden was giving up one of the things he loved best for Lent, executive orders.The Bee facetiously quoted Biden, “I thought about giving up sniffing hair, fumbling over my words, or angrily shouting at reporters who question me for Lent, but no, in the end, it had to be executive orders — my true love.”However, the Bee said, “really devout Catholic” Biden definitely was not giving up abortion for Lent — “there’d be no way he could give up his support for baby murder for that long.”And alas, in a moment of weakness, Biden signed 47 new…Continue Reading

Does Harvard (And Academia) Discriminate Against Asians?

April 3, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on Does Harvard (And Academia) Discriminate Against Asians?

By DEACON MIKE MANNO To answer the question above, a lot of Asians not only think so, but also believe that Asians are being discriminated at all levels of education and many put the blame on Critical Race Theory (CRT) and affirmative action, provoking lawsuits against the offending schools. The gist of the litigation is that Harvard, Yale, other colleges, and elite schools have been using illegitimate racial quotas to cap the number of Asians granted entry.And all of this is leading many to call for an end to affirmative action and Critical Race Theory in academic admissions.A suit against Harvard, which is now on the Supreme Court pending list, claims the school, by manipulating evaluation criteria for applicants, disfavors…Continue Reading

U.S. Military Targeted By Worldwide “Woke” Campaign

April 3, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on U.S. Military Targeted By Worldwide “Woke” Campaign

By CHRISTOPHER MANION For over two centuries, United States Marines have fought our country’s battles “From the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli.” Today they face attacks from a new foe — not a foreign tyranny, but their own government — and they’ve been ordered not to defend themselves.In fact, it’s not only Marines, but all U.S. military personnel, who have been ordered to “stand down” — a better term might be “grovel” — as they are force-fed Marxist propaganda by Joe Biden’s Woke Brigades.On February 9, the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) ordered fleet commanders to “eliminate extremist behaviors from our Navy.” If they don’t, he continued, “then racism, injustice, indignity, and disrespect will grow and keep…Continue Reading

Snatched From The Brink

April 2, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on Snatched From The Brink

By JOE SIXPACK Fr. William Doyle (1873-1917), known best as Fr. Willie, is one of Catholic Ireland’s most shining gems. This holy priest served as a military chaplain in World War I and was killed in action, but that isn’t even the beginning of his claim to sacred fame. There are many stories told about this great priest from his short life, and this is one such anecdote.One night during a mission, Fr. Doyle was returning to the rectory after Confessions in the church when he happened to meet a very young woman in the street. He stopped her and asked, “My child, aren’t you out a wee bit late? Won’t you go home?” Then looking directly into her eyes…Continue Reading

The Barbarians Return… Spain Approves Euthanasia But There Is No “Right To Die”

April 1, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on The Barbarians Return… Spain Approves Euthanasia But There Is No “Right To Die”

By BISHOP JUAN ANTONIO REIG PLA (Editor’s Note: The Most Rev. Juan Antonio Reig Pla, bishop of Alcalá de Henares, issued a letter on March 19, the Feast of St. Joseph, to protest Spain’s new pro-euthanasia law. The law, passed on March 18, includes physician-assisted suicide.) + + They wanted it. Traditionally Catholic Spain, which spread the faith across the seas, was an enemy to be beaten in its own right and because of its repercussions on sister nations in Latin America, the Philippines, the European context itself and the worldwide influence of our missionaries, active collaborators in the transmission of the faith.As the so-called political transition advanced, and with a Spanish Constitution full of ambiguities, the secularist forces together…Continue Reading

Bishop of Gallup . . . Recalls Importance To St. John Paul II Of Praying Rosary In Troubled Times

March 31, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on Bishop of Gallup . . . Recalls Importance To St. John Paul II Of Praying Rosary In Troubled Times

By DEXTER DUGGAN PHOENIX — Even though Pope John Paul II was a great intellect, his favorite prayer was the simple “Christo-centric” one of the rosary, the bishop of Gallup, N.M., James S. Wall, said during a four-hour Zoom spiritual life conference originating at the Institute of Catholic Theology (ICT), based here at St. Thomas the Apostle Parish.As the day began with 8:30 Mass in the parish church, Wall recalled that St. Thomas the Apostle was the only place he had been a pastor, from 2002 through 2007, before being named by Pope Benedict XVI in 2009 to fill the Gallup vacancy, in northwest New Mexico.He also served as vicar for priests for the Diocese of Phoenix, from 2006 until…Continue Reading

A Beacon Of Light… The Light Of Christ Has Dispelled The Darkness

March 30, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on A Beacon Of Light… The Light Of Christ Has Dispelled The Darkness

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.) + + On Ash Wednesday we began the Holy Season of Lent journeying toward the celebration of the Lord’s Resurrection. Since then we have used the Stations of the Cross as an instrument of prayerful reflection. Through Jesus’ condemnation and acceptance of the cross, His three falls, His meeting His Mother, Mary, and the humble Veronica, the help of Simon of Cyrene, meeting the women of Jerusalem, being stripped of His garments, being nailed to the…Continue Reading

Should College Administrators Know What The First Amendment Means?

March 29, 2021 Frontpage Comments Off on Should College Administrators Know What The First Amendment Means?

By MIKE MANNO Here’s a quick test — see how you score yourself. Should college administrators be punished for adopting policies that curb free speech even when they claim that there is no definitive ruling against the restriction they adopted?Or, to put it into legal terms: “Whether qualified immunity shields public university officials from liability when the reasoning — but not the holding — of a binding decision gave the officials fair warning they were violating the First Amendment.”The quote above comes from a brief asking the Supreme Court to review a case from the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals which upheld a lower court decision that college administrators clearly violated the free speech rights of a student but did…Continue Reading
