Here’s something to look at: (Photo Courtesy of NASA) In 1962, the Columbus Day Storm slammed into the Pacific Northwest without warning and wreaked millions of dollars of havoc as well as killing 46 people. The reason it did so without warning was because there was no such thing as satellite imagery that could tell us it was coming.  But then, evil Big Government Liberals created NASA and the entire system of weather forecasting we now take for granted.  Had... Read more

Trump just picked this guy–a lobbyist linked to a forced-abortion sweatshop scandal–as overseer of worker protections in U.S. Where is the “prolife” movement on this? Well, they are busy cheering for the pardon of Joe Arpaio, of course. Rebecca Bratten Weiss calls it: “they were overseas capitalist abortions forced by men, not chosen by women, so that’s ok.” Somebody wake me when the “prolife” movement registers any interest in this. Why not be more prolife, not less, and embrace a... Read more

The Catechism tells us that Scripture has different layers of meaning: 115According to an ancient tradition, one can distinguish between two senses of Scripture: the literal and the spiritual, the latter being subdivided into the allegorical, moral and anagogical senses. The profound concordance of the four senses guarantees all its richness to the living reading of Scripture in the Church. 116The literal sense is the meaning conveyed by the words of Scripture and discovered by exegesis, following the rules of sound interpretation: “All other... Read more

In which Yr Obdt. Svt continues arguing with unbelievers about Hell and what it does and does not mean: Last time in this space I told the tale of my conversation with an amiable Lefty who took for granted the claim that Hell was invented by the Church to control people with fear. As that conversation wound down, we could agree that morally serious people believed that actions had consequences. I concluded by pointing out that all the Church is... Read more

Here’s a fascinating story about a psychologist who helps exorcists with the tricky task of discerning the distinction between the demonic and mental illness: A small group of nuns and priests met the woman in the chapel of a house one June evening. Though it was warm outside, a palpable chill settled over the room. As the priests began to pray, the woman slipped into a trance — and then snapped to life. She spoke in multiple voices: One was... Read more

National Review called Arpaio’s bizarre police state a “political mental ward” years ago. The Atlantic wrote: This man presided over a police force that violated the Constitution, intimidated political opponents by abusing his legal authority, misspent funds, saw an increase in crime, paid out millions in taxpayer dollars when his underlings brutally terrorized inmates. And the Phoenix Sun-Times chronicle the sheer reign of criminality of this man: We've been covering Joe Arpaio for more than 20 years. Here's a couple... Read more

Some folks are asking me what the Pope meant by this: “After this magisterial, and after this long journey, we can assert with certainty and magisterial authority that the liturgical reform is irreversible.” He’s not saying (any more than Pius V in Quo Primum was saying) “This is the absolute eternal set-in-concrete-realio-trulio only way the Latin Rite will ever be celebrated ever again!” On the contrary, roughly translated, he means, “There’s a reason it’s called the Ordinary Form. It’s the normal,... Read more
