By Trey Blanton, Church Militant – Prominent doctors and scientists injected a bit of truth back into science… Dr. Richard Urso, America’s Frontline Doctors: “And we are not one doctor. We are 17,000 doctors… Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of mRNA vaccines: “Saint Augustine, a doctor of the Roman Catholic Church, famously said, ‘The truth is like a lion. You don’t have to defend it. Let it loose; it’ll defend itself.'”
By Casey Chalk, The Catholic Thing – [B]ased on what Mencken said about the liturgy, I think I can guess. In that same 1923 essay, he wrote: “A solemn high mass must be a thousand times as impressive, to a man with any genuine religious sense in him, as the most powerful sermon ever roared under the big-top by a Presbyterian auctioneer of God. In the face of such overwhelming beauty it is not necessary to belabor the faithful with logic; they are better convinced by letting them alone.”
By Douglas Andrews, Patriot Post – Outrage does seem to have died these days — at least among those who most ought to feel it. How might we conservatives feel if our president, the standard-bearer of our party, was found to have received some $31 million from our foremost geopolitical foe and the greatest threat we face to the American way of life? Because that’s apparently what Joe Biden and his family have received in recent years from the Communist Chinese …

Listening Must Give Way to Love, and Hearing to Sacrifice, by Dr. Jeff Mirus
By Dr. Jeff Mirus, Catholic Culture – Sorry, my cork has just popped—after reading Pope Francis’ insistence that we “learn to listen” in his statement for World Communications Day… Francis himself has never given the slightest evidence of listening to those throughout the Church who have pleaded and prayed that he would help the Church to combat the infection of worldly values in her highest offices, her dioceses, her parishes, her religious communities, and her universities.
God Is Calling You To Become a Better Version of Yourself, by Alan Scott
By Alan Scott, Catholic Exchange – In your quest for a better version of yourself, never forget that all that God expects of you is that you begin today to fight against the lies and negative thoughts instead of giving in to them. Having struggles, whether they’re obstacles, fears or phobias, is not the worst thing in the world. The worst thing is to remain a prisoner to them when we have the grace and skills to overcome them. To give up the freedom that God has given us… Dig deep within yourself to find out what is holding you back. What are you struggling with that is preventing you from being the best version of yourself? Perhaps you already know what it is…
Saint of the Day for January 26: Sts. Timothy and Titus
Franciscan Media – What we know from the New Testament of Timothy’s life makes it sound like that of a modern harried bishop.

Unchaining Our Health, by Suzan Sammons
By Suzan Sammons, Crisis Magazine – The worldwide COVID-19 phenomenon has been nothing if not enlightening… A veil has dropped… Just one example of this awakened understanding is the recognition of the broken trust we have with the medical-pharmaceutical industrial complex (MPIC). We’ve seen safe, low-cost, effective treatments for COVID banned for political reasons.

By Jeremy Loffredo, Children’s Health Defense – Former New York Times and Wall Street Journal writer Bari Weiss’ remark last week that she’s “done with COVID” drew praise from some, and harsh criticism from others… During an appearance on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” Weiss told the comedian and political commentator the pandemic countermeasures — implemented at the direction of Dr. Anthony Fauci and others — are “going to be remembered by the younger generation as a catastrophic moral crime.”
Fr. Nnamdi Moneme, OMV: Enter Into a Joyful Communion With God
By Fr. Nnamdi Moneme, OMV, Catholic Exchange – God wants a joyful communion with us. This is the message that the priest Ezra has for the rebellious Israelites who had returned from their banishment, “Today is holy to the Lord your God. Do not be sad and do not weep…Do not be saddened this day, for rejoicing in the Lord must be your strength.” No matter their infidelity to God’s law in the past and the disastrous consequences of their actions, God’s word were not condemning but inviting them again to find their joy and strength in Him.
GOP Pushes a Parents’ Bill of Rights, by Douglas Andrews
By Douglas Andrews, Patriot Post – As part of their midterm agenda, congressional Republicans highlight five key areas of parental concern over their children’s education… “Think about this,” said Joe Biden at his disastrous one-year anniversary presser. “What are Republicans for? What are they for? Name me one thing they’re for.”… Okay, we’ll bite: Republicans are for undoing everything Biden has screwed up. And the list is long.

Saint of the Day for January 25: Conversion of Saint Paul
By Franciscan Media – Saint Paul’s entire life can be explained in terms of one experience—his meeting with Jesus on the road to Damascus. In an instant, he saw that all the zeal of his dynamic personality was being wasted, like the strength of a boxer swinging wildly. …
Archbishop Cordileone: ‘The Solution to Building a Culture of Life is Being True Christians’
By Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, EWTN News – There is an old saying, a question really, that is a sort of a self-assessment of faith, a way of gauging where one is at in terms of walking with the Lord Jesus: “If you were arrested for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?”… Just what is that evidence? The readings we just heard proclaimed in our Mass today give us the answer: the Beatitudes. A simplistic way of looking at the Beatitudes might see them merely as a list of efforts with corresponding rewards. But that’s not really the point.
Fr. Jerry Pokorsky: Heretics
By Fr. Jerry Pokorsky, Catholic Culture – A heresy is obdurate false teaching. Some heresies distort the purposes of the intellect, will, emotions, and the body, and some even deny history. Heresies prevent us from following Jesus and undermine human dignity, even if we are not formally guilty of sin. But we all sense our failures in seeking the truth, so we’re all heretics to some extent.
