By Bradley A. Thayer, Chronicles – Time and again, the Democratic Party’s elites show through their actions, policies, and statements that they are united in opposition to traditional American life, values, and culture… That’s nothing new: it’s been this way for a generation. But it’s worsening. Today, it’s more brazen and openly revolutionary. We all saw a clear example of this at the recent State of the Union Address… “It does not make sense to me,” President Trump said about it during remarks to the Republican Members Conference at Doral, Florida, on March 9. Trump noted that he is perplexed by the Democrats’ behavior.

By Curtis Houck, Media Research Center – Since February 14, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been largely shut down after funding lapsed because Democrats demanded changes to President Trump’s deportation policies, leaving government workers such as TSA agents to work without pay and turn to food banks… A Media Research Center study found that, since the start of the DHS shutdown, only 8% – or 125 seconds – of the 26 minutes and 22 seconds on the shutdown across the flagship evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC have brought up the fact that the long lines at airports are because of the left’s obstructionism.

By James Baresel, Crisis Magazine (2020) – If calls for revolution now provoke fairly limited concern, their gravity is severe enough for them to have been the subject of heavenly warnings as long ago as the 1840s, when the private revelations that made the devotion to the Holy Face known to the Servant of God Sister Mary of Saint Peter called attention to the threat posed by “revolutionary men,” including communists, whom she called by name—this, before The Communist Manifesto was published.

By Fr. Francesco Giordano, STD. Catholic Exchange – Europe is once again rallying around a slogan: My Voice, My Choice. The phrase has recently returned to the center of European political debate, especially as the European Parliament advances initiatives aimed at guaranteeing cross-border access to abortion when it is restricted in a woman’s home country. In the language of EU policy, this is framed as ensuring access to “reproductive healthcare across borders.”

By Madalaine Elhabbal, EWTN News – Bishop Robert Barron and Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone spoke out against the U.S. government’s past targeting of pro-life Catholics in health care at the U.S. Religious Liberty Commission’s fifth hearing… Cordileone, who serves on the commission’s Advisory Board of Religious Leaders, highlighted the ongoing legal battle being fought by the Little Sisters of the Poor over government contraceptive mandates during his remarks at the March 16 hearing… “These are women who deserve our utmost respect and esteem, and I can vouch for this from personal experience,” Cordileone said.

By James Bogle, Crisis Magazine – While at first it might seem unusual for an American to be writing in praise of monarchy, in fact, a scholarly American writer may, ironically, be in a better position than many others to praise this most ancient of institutions… So it is with Charles Coulombe, author of the recently-published book, The Compleat Monarchist; a partly French-Canadian American; and possibly the foremost American writer on the subject of monarchy… His connection with the British monarchy—through his French-Canadian ancestry—together with his American nationality …..

By Scott McKay, The American Spectator – Castro’s crumbling regime nears its end… Monday, something inevitable happened… Officials in Cuba reported an island-wide blackout Monday in the country of some 11 million people as its energy and economic crises deepen and its power grid continues to crumble… The Ministry of Energy and Mines on X noted a “complete disconnection” of the country’s electrical system and said it was investigating, noting there were no failures in the units that were operating when the grid collapsed.

By Emily Chaffins, Catholic Exchagne – Did you know St. Patrick didn’t start out as Patrick at all? His original name was Maewyn Succat—isn’t that a mouthful!… Maewyn grew up in ancient Roman Britain. When he was a teenager, he fell into the clutches of raiders, who sold him into slavery in Ireland. He was cut off from family and friends, living on this island until he successfully carried out an escape seven years later… Instead of falling into despair, Maewyn’s period of slavery drew him closer to Christ, the only one he could rely on in those difficult times.

Author Don Schwager, Servants of the Word – John 5:1-16 – 1 After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Hebrew called Bethzatha, which has five porticoes. 3 In these lay a multitude of invalids, blind, lame, paralyzed.5 One man was there, who had been ill for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him and knew that he had been lying there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” …

By Jordan Boyd, The Federalist – Abortion polling is notoriously deceptive and known to (be) strategically skew and misrepresent public opinion to favor abortion activists’ radical agendas. Pew Research Center’s latest survey appears to be no different… In its 2026 American Trends Panel analysis, Pew uses its January 2026 survey of more than 8,500 U.S. adults to assert that a majority of Americans, 60 percent, “continue to say abortion should be legal in all or most cases.”…

By Anna Callahan, LifeNews – Last week the U.S. Department of Justice moved to dismiss lawsuits brought by Florida and Texas against the Food and Drug Administration – siding with the abortion industry on mail-order drugs against pro-life states for the second time in a week. In response, SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser issued the following statement: “It’s a disgrace that pro-life states like Florida and Texas are having to fight the Trump-Vance administration in court to uphold their laws and that extremists like Gavin Newsom are being allowed to dictate their policy ….

By Bishop Robert Barron, Word on Fire Catholic Ministries – “I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”… The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.” ….

By Rob Marco, Catholic World Report – recently spoke with seven young men about what they are looking for in a potential spouse, the role of technology for Gen Z, and how their faith informs how they think of marriage… As a married Gen-Xer, with kids, who’s been out of the dating world for almost two decades, I wanted to get some insight into how young men are faring in meeting a potential mate. Healthy Catholic marriages that are open to life are important, of course, and I think the topic of issues faced by young men in dating deserves more attention. …

By Aurelio Porfiri, OnePeterFive – In recent days there has been considerable news coverage of the announcement by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X of new episcopal ordinations scheduled for July 1… This announcement has understandably caused quite a stir because, according to some, it signals a schismatic intention toward the Church of Rome… In reality, the Fraternity of Saint Pius X has specified that it does not consider itself schismatic with regard to Rome.

By Michael New Ph.D., LifeNews – Today Pew Research released the results of a new poll on public attitudes on sanctity of life issues. This poll, which surveyed over 8,500 people in late January, contains some good news for pro-lifers… The results show a gain in pro-life sentiment since the last Pew abortion poll in April 2024… Specifically, the percentage of Americans who think abortion should be illegal in all or most cases increased by two percentage points. …
