President Biden is meeting with President Putin today. What that means is that for the first time in five years, there will be one president in the room representing the United States of America, and another president in the room representing Russia. What we had from 2017-2020 was two presidents in the room, both of them representing the interests of the Russian crime state and nobody speaking for the interests of the United States of America and the free world. ...

“Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” Jesus Christ Jesus said quite a lot about politics, but religious leaders tend to ignore all of it. I think they ignore it is because it doesn’t fit with the fact that, however much religious leaders may try to deify themselves, they are just fallen human beings, living in a fallen world. As such, they are prey to all the same desires, ambitions and... Read more
When you are dealing with an international organization that has a proven record of corruption that runs from the top to the bottom of the organization and has continued for decades in every organizational location around the globe, you are not dealing with an organization with a few corrupt individuals. You are dealing with a corrupt organization. Rebecca Hamilton The “organization” I’m talking about is the Catholic Church, and the corruption is the generational, endemic, world-wide, systematically supported, aided, abetted... Read more
The McCarrick Report said what we already knew. The Catholic Church is guilty of systemic, pervasive, from-the-pope-down enabling, supporting, and yes, participating in, sexual abuse, rape, sodomy, of every description. The victims are anybody and everybody. Priests, bishops and cardinals have raped, abused and sodomized everybody they come into contact with, including very young children, teens, seminarians, nuns, people who go to them for counseling and each other. If it’s got a pulse, there’s a guy wearing a collar who... Read more
“I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son Our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, and sits at the right hand of God, the Father almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit,... Read more
Misogyny is a terrible sin. The sin of clerical misogyny is the sin of the priesthood. It is, in particular, the bishops’ sin. I know quite a number of Catholic women who are suffering painful alienation from their Church because of the sin of misogyny which is committed against them and against all women by the bishops and by various priests. The sin of misogyny is a generational evil that goes back long before the beginning of the Church. It... Read more
I have tried repeatedly to write this and couldn’t get it out. So, I’m going to do it straight and from the shoulder. I am not sure what kind of Catholic I am anymore. I believe in the Eucharist. I believe in what the Church teaches. But I don’t believe that the bishops care if women are raped, tortured and murdered. I don’t believe that the men who run and control the Church care what happens to women and girls. ... Read more
President Joe Biden has been out-front and publicly pro choice for decades. In all that time, the American Catholic bishops have never excommunicated him. Now that he is president, they are suddenly making noises about how Joe Biden is causing “scandal” and, for that reason, should be denied the Eucharist. They are huffing and puffing and winding themselves up for a really big political blow in which, at long last, they fire their spiritual cannon at the president. In normal... Read more
Caitlin Jenner, who, in her previous life gold medalist Olympic athlete, has taken a stand against the trendy claim that only bigots oppose allowing transgender biological males to compete in women and girls’ sports. I agree with Jenner and I thank her for taking this courageous stand. I well remember how hard we fought to get recognition and any funding at all for women and girls’ sports. It was an uphill battle all the way. It is still an uphill... Read more
Okies got what they voted for. Oklahoma’s all-traitor Congressional delegation voted to a person for backing Donald Trump’s action of inciting an insurrection and trying to install himself as a full-on dictator. Most of the members of this delegation actively participated in the attempt to overthrow our democracy by authoring objections to the Electoral College vote certification. Indeed, most of them had signed on to invidious briefs supporting a Texas court challenge to overturn the election. Oklahoma’s Congressional delegation: Traitors... Read more
