I’ve launched a new Catholic Newsite that distinguishes itself from other Catholic news aggregaters in that it offers only the best in Catholic punditry. From Father Z to Jeff Miller and from George Weigel to Ross Douthat. We scour the Catholic blogosphere for the most insightful and well written articles that affect us as Catholics. We humbly beseech thee to tell your loyal and ardent readers to come visit us! Oh, we’re called “The Pulpit“. In Jesus, Mary, & Joseph,... Read more

A reader writes concerning the whole condom kerfuffle: Does it really matter if the sex is homosexual or heterosexual? Sex belongs only in a context of free, fruitful, faithful, and permanent committment. Promiscuous sex, whether hetero or homo, already destroys the meaning of the sexual act. The sex is already outside it’s proper context; the condom is not rendering a good thing bad, as in marriage. It is simply part and parcel of the larger sin. It seems to me... Read more

A reader asks: I enjoy reading your blog a lot and wanted to get your take on a spin-off issue from the pope’s recent condom comments. Namely can the use of a condom by a married couple ever be considered “therapeutic” if one of them has AIDS or some other STD? This wasn’t addressed in the pope’s comment, but I think it’s something that needs an answer from the Church especially when one considers the situation in Africa where AIDS... Read more

Dear shuffling lackeys and lickspittles: Now that Angeles Duran owns the sun and is charging for its use, I command you all to join me in a class action suit on behalf of anyone who has suffered sunburn, heat stroke, skin cancer, climate change, or any other form sun-related injury. The owner of the Sun should also be held liable for failure to provide an instruction manual. If people cannot be expected to know how to use shampoo without instructions,... Read more

I love stuff like this. I think John C. Wright needs to set himself the task of writing a story that incorporates every one of these words into it. I am particularly gratified, as the International Founder of the Jolly Pride Movement, by #7. Read more

The Obama Administration has turned the full might of its terror-fighting fury against the real threat to our great Republic: internet copyright infringement. It used to be that everyone was going to be famous for fifteen minutes. Then everybody was Hitler for fifteen minutes. Now everybody is a terrorist for 15 minutes. Did you download that Beatles tune from one of the Seized Sites? You are an accomplice to TERROR! We are now living in the time when everything the... Read more

such as the fact that the Wikileaks dump shows the US was blindsided by the election of Ratzinger. A state department that clueless does not bode well for knowing what’s going on in other departments of foreign affairs. As to the rest of the dump, who knows? All these insta-responses to 250,000 pages of gossip and diplomatic cattiness are being screamed about as “treason” but until I’m shown that somebody’s life is endangered and it isn’t just embarrassed politicians like... Read more

It appears both Israel and Saudi Arabia have been pushing for us to attack Iran.I only let myself get snookered into one geopolitical catastrophe per decade and my time limit has not expired on the last disaster from the preemptive warmonger crowd. So put me down as a “No” who thinks this is a WWI magnitude bad idea. If you are looking for something to pray for this Advent, then pray your heart out that Obama is not such an... Read more
