Where Peter Is discusses the vile apologetics for child-torture and hostage-taking now being offered in the name of Jesus Christ by Raymond Arroyo in defiance of both the Holy Father and the Magisterium (click the link to read the whole thing): Can someone explain to me why Raymond Arroyo still has a show on EWTN? Bad enough that whenever Arroyo hosts Kevin Appleby, from the Center for Migration Studies and a longtime staffer on the issue at the bishops’ conference,... Read more
A reader writes: This family belongs to our parish in Atlanta. The Go Fund Me page (link below) has the details, but they were in a horrific car accident over the weekend. The two youngest children were killed and Mom is in critical condition. Eldest son is special needs, eldest daughter was driving (and is crushed with guilt at having caused the crash), and there is no father. Please rally your followers for prayerful and, if able, financial support. https://www.gofundme.com/wolwark-tragedy... Read more
and continue beating children with his belt in order to extort funding for his wall: The torture of children–condemned by the Pope, the bishops, all actual disciples of Jesus, and all people of good will–shall continue. Only the lying diabolical cult of Christianists and the Alt Right white supremacists who are their soulmates still defend this. Trump is hoping that this head fake will take the pressure off. Don’t let it. RESIST! Read more
He writes: This is Friar Roderic Burke from the Franciscans of the Immaculate. I am glad you are still writing so productively, calling people away from the extremes. I started a new video series called “Mary to the Moon” that has the same themes but linking it to the false dichotomy between faith and science, rather that both are needed for true human progress. This, in turn, is related to the false dichotomy between left and right and to the larger false dichotomy of... Read more

Over at The Catholic Weekly, I noodle a claim that is taken for granted whenever the subject of guns comes up–and which is then immediately contradicted by the Gun Cult itself: the idea that technology is “morally neutral”. Check out the argument and let me know what you think. Here’s a taste, but please read the whole thing: One common theme heard, especially in the gun-besotted United States, is the old saw, “Guns don’t kill people. People kill people.” Prescinding...

The Hydra of Lies from the Trump Machine on their policy of kidnapping children at the border: Family Separation isn’t happening (Nielsen yesterday) Family Separation is my genius idea (Stephen Miller) Family Separation is the Democrats’ fault (POTUS) Family Separation is happening intentionally as a deterrent (Kelly) Family Separation is God’s will because of Romans 13 (Sessions) And the audience of mouthbreathers who support Trump both approve of the policy and blame the Democrats for it. Because they really are... Read more
As you knew would happen, the Cult of Trump is hailing his meeting with Kim Jong Un as a triumph of biblical proportions and announcing Peace in Our Time. The Cult of Trump has already forged one nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize and gotten caught. Now a couple of far right Norwegian pols have nominated him again. And Trump, of course, is ballyhooing his genius and declaring that “there is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea.” Let’s be... Read more
