I just had to share these words of Pope Benedict from earlier this week. So good! Especially the last part. Answering a query about the current secularization of Portugal, a once profoundly Catholic country, the Holy Father replied that Portugal “has carried the faith to all corners of the world; a courageous, intelligent and creative [...]
Here’s the latest from the front lines of the battle between Religious Freedom and Government Kingdom. Last year I posted on the effort to remove the Mojave Cross veteran’s memorial from public land. This week the Supreme Court finally ruled on the case.
Archbishop Chaput is pretty darn awesome at speaking on this topic. In this video (below) he addresses the misrepresentation of Church teaching by irresponsible politicians (like Pelosi and Biden), Vatican II, vocations, progressives/conservatives, the legislative process and much more. I also have his book, “Render Unto Ceasar,” that I hope to read sometime very soon.
“Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports…And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion…reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.” – George Washington Even (especially) George Washington [...]

In fact, the government cannot continue [...]
There are two trends in America that anyone of religious faith (actually everyone) should be very worried about. And the danger is that when seen by themselves these two trends may not seem all that alarming. But together they spell the end of your religious freedom. Sounds like I’m exaggerating, right? Using hyperbole to make [...]
In today’s world, there are few things that inspire hatred like Christians living their faith. One good example of this was Rosie O’Donnell’s remarks responding to a Supreme Court decision to uphold a ban on partial birth abortion back in 2008. On her daytime talk show at the time, The View, Rosie commented, “You know [...]
