By Susan Jones, CNSNews – “This will backfire,” Tacopina said. “Because we’re going to win this case. We will humiliate them and they will pay the price.

By Malcom Muggeridge, The Catholic Thing – It arises simply out of the circumstances that by identifying ourselves with Christ, by absorbing ourselves in his teaching, by living out the drama of his life with him, including especially the Passion – that powerhouse of love and creativity; by living with, by and in him we can be reborn to become new men and women in a new world.

By Elizabeth A. Mitchell, The Catholic Thing – Today, we are in a different kind of battle.  We are in a battle for the soul of humanity itself, and the battle is taking place one household at a time, one neighborhood at a time, one human being at a time.  We are in a fight to retain truth, objective reality, selflessness, and the enduring human spirit… And, in this battle, acts of greatness must be noticed, affirmed, and encouraged.  Why?  Because the younger generation is watching us.  They are watching us to understand how they should define themselves.  They will be as great as the example we give to them. …

He seeks to show this absurdity by suggesting that communion must be akin to pregnancy (either you are or you aren’t), to gender theory that allows for a spectrum, or to critical race theory that requires an unconscious bias. …

By Kylee Griswold, The Federalist – Never underestimate the magnitude of forces ‘seeking to devour’ your children. They will be catechized. Make sure it’s in truth… Lots of people are catechizing your child. Are you one of them?… The tragic death of six believers, including three children and three brave adults, at the hands of an evil mass shooter at a Christian elementary school in Nashville this week was a stark and painful reminder that the battle raging around us is ultimately a spiritual one.

Author Don Schwager, Servants of the Word – John 10:31-42 – The Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of these do you stone me?” The Jews answered him, “It is not for a good work that we stone you but for blasphemy; because you, being a man, make yourself God.” Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, `I said, you are gods’? …

Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) asked Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley on Wednesday at a hearing of the House Armed Services Committee… “Listen, drag shows are not something that the Department of Defense supports or funds,” Austin said, giving a similar answer several times as Gaetz put up a slide advertising a drag queen story hour at Ramstein Air Force Base, bearing “DoD insignia,” he pointed out.

Kennedy, Jr. … “It’s much, much bigger than that.”… Latypova said we have government reports describing the COVID-19 vaccines as a biological weapon. “I have a question to our government,” she said. “What is it that they’re exactly forcing on us?”… The DOD is “fully in charge” of the COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials and the vaccine’s manufacturing and distribution, and it owns the vaccine “until it is injected into a person”…
