My grandmother used to say, “A man born to hang, ain’t never gonna drown.” Evidently, 16-year-old Mackenzie Wethington was not born to die in a 3,000 foot fall out of an airplane. Read more

Kathy Schiffer, who writes at Seasons of Grace, published a post today about one feminist’s list of things she’d like to see Pope Francis do. Kathy does a fine job of critiquing this To Do List — which was written by Angela Bonavoglia — from the viewpoint of a faithful Catholic. Predictably, there was not one thing on this list that would help, or that even addresses, the real problems that endemic misogyny foists on real woman in the real... Read more
The United Nations Committee on the Protection of the Child has issued a report on the Catholic Church and the child sex abuse scandal. The report goes off the rails. Instead of dealing with the issue of sexual abuse of children in the serious and concentrated manner that it deserves, the committee used the report as an opportunity to demand that the Church change its teaching on abortion and homosexuality. I have a hard time when I see people using... Read more
Speaking of child abuse, legislators in Belgium are moving toward passage of a law that would allow doctors to euthanize children. It all began in 2002 with a law that allowed doctors in Belgium to kill their patients who were (a) at least 18 years old, (b) of sound mind, and (c) gave their consent. Left out of this (of course) was just how questionable “consent” becomes when families and medical practitioners go at a sick person who is probably... Read more
Nobody hates pedophiles more than the Rich and Shameless. At least, they hate pedophiles when the pedophile is a priest. Pedophile priests should be — and are — burned at the stake of public opinion, and their pedophile-enabling bishops along with them. That’s the verdict of the R&S set. However, when the pedophile is a powerful director of successful films — who might conceivably be of benefit to their careers — we are reminded of the cinema “art,” these directors... Read more
“A Christian murderer…It’s not me saying this, it’s the Lord. And there is no place for nuances. If you speak ill of your brother, you kill your brother. And every time we do this, we are imitating that gesture of Cain, the first murderer in History.” Pope Francis I want to tell you two stories, both true, and both of which happened to me. Back when I was running for office the first time around, I held a fund-raising party... Read more
Photo Source: Reuters A lot of French people joined marched for the traditional family on February 2. Estimates of the numbers of marchers vary so widely that it appears the estimators were either at different marches, or they are deliberately giving politically-slanted numbers. Despite this, a few things seem clear. There is little doubt that large numbers of French people are continuing to resist government-mandated changes in the family. It also appears that French government officials have no problems disrespecting... Read more
Kevin Durant answered a simple question with his direct testimony to the power of Christ in his life. The reporter’s response? Watch, and get a look at what Christians face more and more, even when they are famous athletes being interviewed by “professional” reporters of major cable networks. Read more
Sign carried during a rally organized by the pro-marriage La Manif Pour Tous organization on May 26, 2013 in Paris. Hundreds of thousands of people participated in the rally.– Antoine Antoniol/Getty Images According to the National Catholic Register the msm is “largely” ignoring the story of large demonstrations in favor of traditional marriage throughout Europe. Ignoring a story they don’t like would be consistent with the behavior of today’s “journalists.” In my opinion, the media is not just biased in... Read more
