with this letter. Meanwhile, Fr. Jenkins continues to give “lame Jesuitical casuistry” a bad name by explaining to the bishops that when they said it was bad to heap honors on rabidly pro-choice pols, what they *actually* meant was “rabidly pro-choice *Catholic* pols”. Obama’s not Catholic, so ND can heap as many honors as they like on him! No! Really! I eagerly await the establishment of the Joseph Mengele Endowed Chair for Excellence in Non-Catholic Scientific Methodologies (awarded each year... Read more

namely, flinging condoms at Africa hasn’t done a damn thing to stop AIDS and has often persuaded fools that if they wear a condom they are safe from getting or giving AIDS. It’s a perfectly reasonable observation, backed by people like Dr Edward Green, Director of the AIDS Prevention Research Project at Harvard. “The best evidence we have”, he says, “supports the Pope’s comments. There is a consistent association shown by our best studies between greater availability and use of... Read more

One of the staples of the paranoid reactionary Catholic circle is the Jewish conspiracy. One is constantly seeing from these people the terrible fear that the Jew is make hugely successful inroads into the Catholic Church, undermining everything, destroying all, virtually omipotent in his successful post-Vatican II campaign to corrupt and destroy the Church. Like some relentless plague, INJEWCON marches forward in its cold and implacable plans for to wipe out Catholic faith–at least in the fertile imagination of the... Read more

I know Iowa is a small state, but perhaps some of your readers will be interested in the campaign to save marriage here with a constitutional amendment(which a majority of Iowans support). I’m sure this movement would welcome any support, and saving marriage in Iowa will help save it in the entire nation.

If you happen to be new to the blog, or are somebody who has always wondered what the Church teaches about Mary and why (and, especially, if you are an... Read more

Whenever some social movement bent on the destruction of the Church or the infliction of great evil on some basic human good arises, it is always going to be salted with true believers who manage to honestly convince themselves that, once the movement achieves the end they are hoping it will achieve, it was stop being toxically anti-Church or inimical to human good and just disband. So, for instance, the Commies assured us that the Comunist state would just “wither... Read more
