The great Fr. Robert Barron on the Church as the enemy of the totalitarianism of the left: Read more

A reader writes: I need prayers and clear direction from the Holy Spirit in a situation where I am teaching religion in a Catholic high school, but we’ve had a couple of administration changes, and I have been quite open about the need to deepen the orthodox Catholic identity all around. I am a big Theology of the Body advocate and pro-life defender, and this allows some influential types to put out false information that all I want to teach... Read more

…is a delightfully thoughtful young blogger who refuses to simple submerge her Catholic faith in the memes and shibboleths of the Dems or the GOP and pretend that’s good enough. More like her please. Read more

…is under discussion over at the Register. Read more

Other countries don’t need to have snipers perched everywhere, ready to blow away maniacs at their sporting events. But we do–and we will for the rest our lives and our children’s children’s children’s lives. Because we are becoming a police state that has chosen to exchange virtue and a civilization built on the love of God for a civilization built on the worship of money, sex, and pleasure and that has made us a lot of enemies–as sin always does.... Read more

…from a vending machine, and contraceptives from the urine of urban dwellers is so pervasive that it is actually showing up in the water supply in some areas… …but we’re to believe that access to contraceptives is so difficult that the Catholic Church has to be forced by our Tyrant-in-Chief to provide them. Mhm. As one of my readers points out, this is, of course, the opening volley. Next, the Church will be forced to provide access to abortion and... Read more

are splitsville. A few years back, one of the pair were saying: “For a bunch of people to tell me who I can love, who I can marry, who I can say this is my person, this is who I choose to spend the rest of my life with, it’s mindboggling to me that a few religious people can vote for our equal rights,” she said. This statement was, of course, a complete lie, since nobody was saying who anybody... Read more

in the service of his war on the Church. Some people seem to think that Catholic Charities and Sr. Keehan constitute the magisterium and that if they rush to kowtow before our God King, that means its all settled. It’s not. Not one thing has changed. Obama still means to crush Catholic conscience and inflict large punishments against the Church for obeying God rather than his Royal Divinity. Support him and you are supporting a naked assault on the Church.... Read more

A reader writes: Our 18 year old son, who was at a Catholic recovery community (Cenacolo), went missing today. He left a suicide note, but from previous behavior we HOPE that this was an attention-seeking behavior. Please pray for him to be found quickly and safely. Father, we ask that his guardian angel would protect him from all harm, that he would be found safe and sound, and that this would issue in your glory, his redemption and healing, and... Read more

It’s rare to find somebody who is willing to expose his own tribe to the harsh glare of broad daylight for the sake of the truth. Greenwald has been completely consistent. He was critical of Bush assaults on civil liberties and he has not relented an inch now that Obama has opted to vote himself the power to murder and indefinitely detain American citizens. Here he is, taking the “progressive” Left to the woodshed for their filthy hypocrisy in supporting... Read more
