By Michael Hichborn, Lepanto Institute, (Complicit Clergy) – This article will provide a thorough timeline regarding our discovery of CRS’ direct participation in the spread of contraception in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).  It is a third article in a series exposing CRS’ continued and unchanging tactic of silencing critics by dismissing real evidence, denying any wrongdoing, and characterizing the concerned reports of faithful Catholics as “attacks.”  In part 1, we provided solid evidence and a timeline regarding the way CRS handled theologian Germain Grisez’s true and valid concerns about a condom-promoting flip-chart produced and distributed by CRS in one of its project areas. 

By Michael Pakaluk, The Catholic Thing – The New York Times reported the words, but the Wall Street Journal didn’t.  When Bam Adebayo, two days ago, was asked to describe the moment when he scored 83 points in an NBA game, second only to Wilt Chamberlain’s 100 points, he said, “Man, I wish I could relive it twice.  I credit God, my family, my teammates, this crowd.”… A wag commented that, right after God, he should have credited the Washington Wizards, the team ostensibly defending him. …

Author Don Schwager, Servants of the Word – Luke 11:14-23 – 14 Now he was casting out a demon that was dumb; when the demon had gone out, the dumb man spoke, and the people marveled. 15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of demons”; 16 while others, to test him, sought from him a sign from heaven. 17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls. 18 And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? …..

By Nate Guyear, Catholic Exchange – Have you ever heard someone say that God’s forgiveness removes the guilt of sin? And have you ever wondered why God would punish a person from whom He had removed guilt? In other words, if God forgives me, thereby declaring me not guilty and removing sin from my soul, why does He punish me? This article will elucidate the reasons why punishment following God’s forgiveness is necessary. Let’s begin with sin.

By Frank Wright, Substack – IN BRIEF – Most people are starting to find out how bad things really are… Then they will find out why things are so bad… Finally, they will realise how much they have been misled – all their lives… This means they will no longer know who they are or what to feel or think… The meaning of their lives is being erased by events… This will cause people to go mad in direct proportion to their belief in the supply of official narratives around which their sense of self has been arranged. … Prepare to heal the sick and to help the wounded. Put aside your differences and help your brothers and sisters in their direst hour of need.

By Chris Bray, The Federalist – This is where Talarico becomes especially interesting… The childless man in his late-30s who has never mentioned going on a date with an identifiable woman is deeply invested in the abstraction of other people’s children, who he thinks he loves. And recent reporting suggests that he has certain deeply adolescent habits: “Faith-forward Texas Senate candidate follows porn actors, escorts on Instagram.”

By Dr. Jeff Mirus, Catholic Culture – I find myself attracted by what we call “coffee table” books, and I like having them around the house. Even if they are not often used, they remain a reminder of their subjects, which are in that sense associated with both beauty and attentiveness. This principle is certainly true of two new books from Magnificat by Dominican Fathers Andrew Hofer and Philip Nolan. These books are devoted to what are probably the most important and most-often used prayers among Catholics, namely Our Father: Our Prayer of Hope and Hail Mary: Pondering the mysteries of Love. …

By Almudena Martínez-Bordiú for EWTN News, (Catholic World Report ) – After nearly 900 years, the Trappist monks may be leaving the Abbey of Our Lady of La Trappe in Normandy, France, one of the most iconic symbols of the Cistercian tradition founded in the 12th century… The monks, who belong to the Cistercian Order of the Strict Observance — also known as the Trappist order, which follows the Rule of St. Benedict — reported that they were considering leaving the monastery around 2028 due to “the shortage of vocations and the increasing burden of owning the land.”… For the approximately 20 brothers who make up the community ….

By Elise Winland, Zeale – Report: FBI warns Iran may launch drone attacks on locations in California… An FBI alert circulated to police departments in California warned that Iran could retaliate against the U.S. by launching drone attacks in the state, ABC News reported. The alert, obtained and reviewed by ABC, did not specify which parts of California could be targeted.

By Scott McKay, The American Spectator – John Thune is responsible for an absolutely worthless GOP Senate majority… The Federalist’s Sean Davis did an excellent job of summing up the predicament the Republican Party finds itself in at the moment, with lots of time until the 2026 midterms (but no real indication that will make much difference): Understand what Thune is doing right now. It’s not enough for him to kill the SAVE America Act. Thune has to kill it while also protecting his worst RINO colleagues from being exposed for opposing it. … How does Thune accomplish his? By avoiding a simple majority vote at all…

By Ann Burns, Crisis Magazine – Women are incapable of teaching men how to be men… Not long ago, I opened up an email detailing Catholic events in the area. There, in bright colors, was a men’s conference announcement. A good thing, right? But looking at the keynote speakers, I couldn’t help but wonder why a picture of a young woman graced my screen. Feeling as if I morphed into a nosy old lady, I zoomed in on the picture. Yup! My eyes had not deceived me. Presenting to a room full of men on what masculinity is, would be an ostensibly young lady.

By Sheryl Collmer, Crisis Magazine – Dear bishops, we are tired of the never-ending scandals and your pretending that nothing is amiss. We are tired of being used by you… If a particular bishop is innocent, let him at least address our concerns and give us solid, documented reasons to believe he is truthful. A clean, independent audit report would be the most direct way… Bishops, there are capable accounting firms in every diocese of this country. …

By Mark Lambert, Catholic Unscripted, Youtube – Join host Mark Lambert in a thought-provoking conversation with Reverend Doctor Alexander Lucie-Smith, a Catholic priest, moral theologian, and writer. They dive into the recent release of the Epstein files, exploring its far-reaching implications for the British establishment, the monarchy, politics, and even parallels within the Catholic Church. From Prince Andrew’s controversies to Peter Mandelson’s scandals, they discuss how wealth and power erode moral accountability, leading to institutional rot and societal disillusionment.

By Abigail James,  Catholic Online News – How to Prepare in the Two Weeks Before Ash Wednesday… You don’t need a color-coded Lent planner or a heroic self-denial strategy… You need honesty—and a little intentional space… Here are simple, realistic ways to prepare: 1. Decide what Lent is actually for… Lent is not about proving spiritual toughness. It’s about making room for God. Before choosing what to “give up,” ask what you want more of: peace, prayer, patience, clarity, healing.
