By  Michael J. Matt, Editor, The Remnant – In this week’s episode of The Editor’s Desk, Michael J. Matt hits the following hot topics: President Biden’s super spiritual Easter message… Pope Francis calls on the IMF & World Bank to establish a global governing body… Matt Damon: The Davos/Great Reset guy… Klaus Schwab grew up in Nazi Germany. So why is he still into eugenics?… Is the Fourth Industrial Revolution the Fourth Reich?

By Rodney Pelletier, Church Militant – The Catholic priesthood is suffering from a homosexual infestation, and it’s negatively affecting how people perceive and understand the Church. For the last 20 years, the Church has been known as a haven for pederasts rather than the dispensary of God’s grace… The damage done to souls is incalculable, and it seems like nobody in a position of authority wants to do anything about it.

Author Don Schwager, Servants of the Word – Mark 16:9-15 – Now when he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept. But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they would not believe it. After this he appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. ..

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews – As expected, a federal judge who has ties to Planned Parenthood permanently blocked undercover journalist David Daleiden this week from releasing additional videos that Daleiden says show evidence of infanticide in the abortion industry… U.S. District Judge William Orrick issued the permanent injunction at the request of the National Abortion Federation (NAF) and demanded that Daleiden turn over the video footage, according to lawyers representing NAF.

By Children’s Health Defense, LifeSiteNews – In a new nationwide online poll conducted by John Zogby Strategies, 32% of respondents said they believe Dr. Anthony Fauci has the “pharmaceutical industry’s best interest at heart,” not the public’s… Among three specific groups, the percentage was even higher: 18- to 29-year-olds (41%), Hispanics (42%) and Blacks (38%). ..

By Eric Sammons, Crisis Magazine – Gallup has been measuring church membership in this country since the 1930’s, and from 1937 until 2000, the percentage of Americans who claim membership in a church (or synagogue or mosque) remained relatively stable around 70%. Yet starting in 2000 (there’s that year again), the percentage has fallen off a cliff, and for the first time ever, is now below 50%. There are now more Americans who deny church membership than claim it. We are officially a pagan nation.

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews – Another Democrat politician has left the party because of its increasingly radical pro-abortion agenda… North Las Vegas, Nevada Mayor John Lee announced his switch to the Republican Party on Tuesday… “When you’re a pro-life Democrat, a pro-gun Democrat, and you’re a very conservative person, that’s not really well known in the Democratic party anymore. And so for me to hang on as long as I did hoping the party would change, it didn’t. It got worse”

By John Zmirak, The Stream – My own Catholic world is being roiled at the moment by Pope Francis’ latest effort to mark himself off as more “enlightened” than any of his predecessors, going all the way back to St. Peter. He’s trying to redeem the good name of the apostle who betrayed Jesus to the Sanhedrin, then ran off and hanged himself.

By Peter J. Leithart, First Things – Water is life. Without the right water in the right proportions, earth would still be “formless and void.” Without water, we are formless and void. We’re roughly 60 percent water, nearly as liquid as Earth. Your brain is more than half water… Masaru Emoto asks, Where would we be if water were not a nearly universal solvent? Answer: In the hospital or dead. We’re microcosms, small waterworlds. Can baptism mean anything less than “new creation” and “new life”?

By Dr. Luke Arredondo, St. Philip Institute – If someone asks you to identify the single most important doctrine in Christianity, how would you reply? It’s probably not the principle of double effect. Could it be the fall of Adam and Eve? Creation itself? The infallibility of Scripture? All of those are fine and well, and very important for Christianity. But according to St. Paul, there is one teaching that stands out above all the rest. If this one teaching is true, it changes everything, and if it is not, then everything is a lie.

By Joy Pullmann, The Federalist – To explain his veto of a bill that would have protected children from transgender genital mutilation, Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson claimed it would be “a vast government overreach.”.. Using language similar to North Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s in vetoing a bill to protect girls’ sports from unfair and irrational transgender male competition, Hutchinson further claimed: I don’t shy away from the battle when it is necessary and defensible. …

By David Carlin, The Catholic Thing – And so we have tens of millions of ordinary Americans, not to mention much of our mainstream media, most of our entertainment industry, and the President of the United States, supporting the really weird idea that an eight-year-old boy can choose to be a girl if he feels like it… We’re passing through a period of collective insanity – let us hope and pray just a temporary insanity. This happened to us once before – in the 1850s when one mad decision after another drove us toward an appalling civil war:

Author Don Schwager, Servants of the Word – John 21:1-14 – After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias; and he revealed himself in this way. Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will go with you.”

Franciscan Media – Some saints’ names are far more familiar to us than others, but even the lives of obscure holy persons teach us something… And so it is with Saint Casilda. Her father was a Muslim leader in Toledo, Spain, in the 10th century. Casilda was a devout Muslim but was kind to Christian prisoners.
