By Craig Bannitster, MRC TV – Nearly three-fourths of American adults want Disney to stop sexualizing its shows and “return to wholesome programming,” but Democrat supporters and the wealthy are less in favor of Disney removing LGBTQ+ sexual indoctrination from its content for kids

By M.D. Kittle, The Federalist – The state Medicaid office spokesman says the department is mandated to provide voter registration under the federal Voter Registration Act… As South Carolina law enforcement investigates allegations a state agency is handing out voter registration forms to foreign nationals, an agency official tells The Federalist that federal law has tied the state’s hands.

Author Don Schwager, Servants of the Word – John 16:12-15 – “I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. ….

By Robert Lazu Kmita, The Remnant – Today’s reality doesn’t allow us any escape: things are as we see them. So the Savior’s statement that the “gates of hell” will not overcome the Church can only mean one thing: just as it happened during His first coming to earth, the faith revealed by the heavenly Father to Peter will remain unbeaten – until the end of the world – in those unknown and disregarded true Christians (disregarded by both Church hierarchs and political leaders). When I think about our current situation, the words from the Gospel according to Matthew come to mind: “They were distressed, and lying like sheep that have no shepherd” (Matthew 9:36).

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International – By the end of the year, Kitty had been raped multiple times. She also had been repeatedly subjected to sexual violence, of a sort that has become shockingly common… Ultimately, Kitty blamed her disturbing sexual encounters on the easy accessibility of online pornography, in which men “can scroll through an endless stream of videos in which women are hurt and humiliated, in which men are aggressive and entitled and physically abusive. The existence of these videos on porn sites suggests that these things are sexy.”

By Francis X. Maier, The Catholic Thing – A lot of our Catholic people think that being a good Christian boils down to loving everybody, embracing and not judging them, and being inclusive and welcoming.  If we did that, we could just limp along, try to make everyone happy, and keep them in the fold at all costs.  The trouble is, that’s not Christianity.  It’s not the faith of the Catholic Church.  It’s not the truth Jesus taught.  As a Church we need to get back to apostolic mission; to preaching and living the whole Word of God.

By Peachy Keenan, The American Mind, The Claremont Institute – We don’t have to fight the Left; they are dying out all by their lonesomes… It’s time for me and the other “far-right” natalists to admit defeat. Liberals are committing genetic suicide and going extinct, despite our efforts to talk them out of it. They are running right off the cliff and into oblivion. New baby data shows that last year saw the lowest American birth rate ever. It’s the lowest since they started tracking it. Yikes! …

By Jason Scott Jones, The Stream – Last week, in an interview with CBS News, Pope Francis called skeptics of massive power and wealth grabs by Malthusian Western elites “climate deniers.” That echoes the manipulative rhetoric of the American left, which smears those who point to election fraud as “election deniers.” The intent there is clear — to associate political enemies with disgraceful Holocaust deniers, who in Europe can end up in prison.

By Peter Pinedo, Catholic News Agency – United States abortion law is “far more permissive than the vast majority of the world,” according to a study recently released by the pro-life research group the Charlotte Lozier Institute… Released on April 30, the study found that out of the nearly 200 members of the United Nations (U.N.), the U.S. is one of only eight with no federal limit on abortion.

By Courtney Mares, CNA – The Vatican’s doctrine office will publish a new document next week on discerning Marian apparitions and other supernatural events… Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, the prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF), will unveil new norms for discernment regarding “apparitions and other supernatural phenomena” on Friday, May 17… In an interview with the National Catholic Register, CNA’s sister news partner, last month, Cardinal Fernandez said that the document will provide “clear guidelines and norms” for discernment. …
