The guy is fantastic and a much better writer than I am. You should really be reading him, not me. Here he is, on the novel experience of waking up and finding the Catholic Church to be the shizz for standing for conscience against this Goliath. Don’t, for one second, think this war on the Church is over. Obama’s accomodation is a mere change in tactics. An attempt to get the Lefties he was losing and alienating to feel as... Read more

…in my comboxes. There are counterattacks in war. Deal with it. Some of my readers are throwing up their hands and declaring “game over” because Obama is trying this head fake. What, pray, did you expect him to do? Of course he’s still trying to win his war on the Church. That’s what enemies do. Instead of giving up and declaring defeat because the enemy is resisting instantly abandoning the field, cowboy up and fight on! Show some fortitude for... Read more

He’s trying to appear to “accomodate” while giving no real ground to religious liberty–and continuing his war on the Church. Yuval Levin, a bioethicist at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a Washington, D.C. think tank, issued a critique of what he believes will be the president’s plan –though the details of the “accommodation” has not yet been released. Levin issued this judgment on the National Review website this morning: “If I understand the White House announcement correctly, their newly... Read more

A reader writes: Thanks again for all of your blogging. I am a faithful reader, although not a full-fledged follower : ) Anyway, we live in Maryland and after last year’s very narrow victory to defeat SSM, it is up again in our legislature, with our “Catholic” Governor O’Malley making it his top priority to push this legislation through and sign it (Like Maryland doesn’t have other problems. And his wife is calling us “cowards!” Hahaha!) This youtube clip is... Read more

Imagine if Komen had had the courage to choose stigma and rebel against the protection racket that shook them down. Imagine if Catholics on both sides of the aisle chose to bear the stigma of “Catholic” and resisted the pull of their respective parties when they counsel us to ignore the Faith for the sake of tribal loyalties. No. I’m not saying “True Catholics vote for Ron Paul”. I’m simply saying it would be great if more Catholics were willing... Read more

A reader writes: With great sorrow, I must inform you that our son Vincent Ignatius’ heart stopped beating just before 11 o’clock on February 7. He was born at just under twenty weeks gestation. He will be buried alongside his brother and sister on Saturday. Please pray for the repose of his soul, and solace for us, his broken-hearted parents. Father, grant eternal rest to your little child and give grace, consolation, peace and healing his parents and all who... Read more

I don’t think he’s the Machiavellian genius some people seem to think he is. I think he’s reasonably smart, but arrogant and therefore prone to the stupidity of which arrogance is the mother. It really doesn’t seem to occur to lefties in the full bloom of their “Mission to Civilize” hubris how tyrannically insufferable they can be. So they react with surprise to find out that it isn’t just bitter clingers in the flyover states with their primitive folkways who... Read more
