Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II is like the land she rules: Both of them are built for endurance. I put together a few photos of the Queen and her many visits with many popes. I hope you find them as enjoyable as I do. Read more

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius — or someone — has pre-announced that she’s going to announce her resignation from President Obama’s cabinet. One story I read said that Secretary Sebelius asked the president if she could step down about a month ago. The speculation about her reasons for doing this are all about the bumpy start-up of Obamacare. Did she ask the president if she could step down? Or did the president ask her? We probably won’t...

“No individual loses his ability to speak as a private citizen by virtue of his public employment.” That comes from a 2011 opinion of the 4th Circuit US Court of Appeals decision on a lawsuit filed by Dr Mike Adams. Dr Adams is a professor in criminology at the University of North Caroline-Wilmington. He filed suit when university officials refused him a promotion to a full professorship. The suit claimed that this was due to his change of personal... Read more
Fear God, and you will have no need of being afraid of mortal man. What can anyone do against you by his words and injuries? He rather hurts himself than you, nor can he escape the judgement of God, whoever he be. Keep God before your eyes. Thomas a Kempis It’s getting crowded under the bus. I would imagine that it’s also lonely and a bit shattering for the people who are under there. First, we’ve got Mozilla, throwing... Read more
Bishop Peter Jugis has finally issued his long-awaited statement concerning the trashing of Sister Jane Dominic Laurel at a meeting held in one of the Catholic schools in his diocese over a week ago. I’m not sure why it took the bishop so long to issue this statement, since it says nothing. Here’s the gist of it: The bishop is “shocked” at the “lack of charity and respect” at the meeting. The bishop calls for “healing.” The bishop assures... Read more
Recent arguments about euthanizing children, those with dementia and healthy adults pulled the mask off the death-dealing death with dignity movement. Advocates of medical murder tossed the pretense that only those who were fatally ill, in irremediable suffering and could give informed consent would ever be subject to euthanasia over the side of the political ship without a fare-thee-well. All of a sudden, the arguments morphed to a question of choice, as in the notion that people should have... Read more
A federal appeals court upheld a ban on renting public school facilities to religious organizations for religious services. In my opinion this ruling is clearly discriminatory. The reason I say it is discriminatory is that it is aimed at one group of people only. The city evidently allows rental of their school facilities to other groups for their private purposes. This ruling singles out religious groups and applies a prohibition to them that is not applied to other groups... Read more
It turns out that the LifeSiteNews story that I quoted in this post got things wrong. Bishop Jugis did not make a statement in support of Sister Jane through his spokesperson, David Hains. David Hains made a comment to that effect in Public Catholic’s com boxes earlier today. I called Mr Hains and he actually did leave the comment. He told me that Bishop Jugis will issue a formal statement concerning what happened to Sister Jane soon. As soon as... Read more

Her mother is Naomi Barber King. Her family home in Birmingham, Al was bombed during the Civil Rights Movement, as was... Read more
The age of miracles is not over. I’ve personally encountered the story of one young woman from India who had Jesus come to her in a vision. This young woman had never heard of Jesus before he visited her. She is now a missionary in India. Stories of Jesus appearing to people in parts of the world which are most hostile to Christianity keep coming. From Charisma News: A Christian revival is touching the northernmost reaches of Africa. In a region... Read more
