What can we do … when the machinery of death has been put in action? How will you say no, in this week, when an appropriations bill is going to be considered in Congress? We ask — for the love of God and the love of human beings, which can’t be separated — vote against renewing funding for such a lawless organization. Cardinal Joseph Tobin We paid for the bullets. We paid for the guns. We paid for the kevlar.... Read more
Thank you Bruce Springsteen for using your talent to defend America’s democracy and speak out for the innocent murder victims of this regime’s brutality. (By the way, Mr Springsteen is a Catholic.) Read more
Call your senators. Tell them to vote “no” on extending funding to ICE. That was the message Cardinal Joseph Tobin of Newark, NJ, issued to faithful Catholics. He spoke at a gathering of faith leaders to mourn the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, A National Faith Call to Action. The National Faith Call to Action was a gathering of faith leaders to mourn the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Tobin asked “Father what can we do... Read more
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me. St Patrick It helps me to read Scripture and think about it. It centers me and, when chaos reigns, it sustains and calms me. I’m not a sophisticated Bible scholar. I just read through the Bible, from In the beginning, all the way through to, the grace of the Lord Jesus, be with you, every year.

We the People can’t go one weekend without Trump and his regime dumping a new fresh hell on our heads. The week before last, Trump’s ICE thugs murdered Renee Good in cold blood. Then Trump, Vance, Noem, Bondi and Trump’s entire right wing media lying machine lied about it to justify the murder. Trump’s “justice” department refused to investigate Renee Good’s murder. Instead, they tried to investigate her family and friends, and to smear her. Her killer was hidden and... Read more
John Allen, longtime Vatican correspondent and founder of CruxNow.com, died this week from stomach cancer. He was 61 years old. I followed his stories and bought his books. He was a trusted source of information. If John Allen reported it, you could be sure it was the truth. Pablo Kay, of Angelus News, said, For anyone with a remote interest in Catholic news — not to mention for readers of the news site he founded, CruxNow.com, and Angelus — the... Read more
Evidently, Trump has decided that he’s going to take the use of military force off the table where Greenland is concerned … for today. Now, he says he wants to “negotiate” a settlement. If he’s talking about an agreement that Norway freely enters into for America to buy Greenland’s resources for a fair price, all I have to say is he could have done from day one. However, if he’s talking about one of his shows where he comes out... Read more
Archbishop Timothy Broglio, Archbishop of the Archdiocese for Military Services, says that it would be morally acceptable for American troops to disobey an order to invade Greenland. He said that he cannot see any circumstances in which an American military operation to take control of Greenland or another ally’s territory would fulfill the criteria for a just war. His comment was: “I am obviously worried, because they could be put in a situation where they’re being ordered to do something... Read more
People who support the murder of Renee Good don’t have any business at the Walk for Life. Those who support Trump threatening a world war because the Nobel Committee didn’t give him a Nobel Peace Prize probably belong in a mental ward, but they ALSO don’t belong at the Walk for Life. People who think it’s A-OK for their Mad King to order America’s military to fire on shipwreck victims hanging off the side of a boat in the ocean... Read more
Three of America’s Catholic Cardinals have spoken out against Trump’s repeated threats of global war directed against — of all people — our stalwart allies Norway, England, France and the other NATO nations. Cardinals Blase Cupich of Chicago, Robert McElroy of Washington DC, and Joseph Tobin of New Jersey issued a joint statement based on Pope Leo’s recent address in which the Holy Father said that “war is back on vogue” and condemned “diplomacy based on force.” Their statement said...
