Here’s my latest piece for Inside Catholic. Basic story: in a world where the Most Powerful Man on Earth just unilaterally decided to grant himself the absolute despotic power to kill anyone he likes, citizen or not, without benefit of arrest, trial or evidence, the media is courageously focusing on… a form letter in a relatively minor bureacratic process 23 years ago which resulted in (gasp!) a priest being laicized.

Some variations of this hot hot HOT story tell us the Pope or Rome or somebody “finally” forgives the whole “bigger than Jesus” remark. Don’t these guys even read their own copy?

What I mean is the mixture of silence and enthusiasm we are seeing from the Left and Right for Obama’s self-granted power to declare anybody he likes an enemy combatant (without having to provide proof) and then, on the basis of that declaration, sentence that person to death. This includes American citizens. Even the Bush Administration with... Read more

like we are, to forbid shouting things like “Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!” at sporting events. Those poor, poor Russians, having to endure that kind of public celebration of Christian faith without the protection of the ACLU. My heart breaks for them. Thank God we live in a culture that uses its freedom so wisely. Read more
