Kansas City Chiefs Coach Andy Reid Defends Harrison Butker, by Steven Ertelt

By Steven Ertelt - Reid said he had no reason to have a special talk with Butker about the remarks... Listen, I talk to Harrison all the time … I didn’t talk to him about this. I didn’t think we needed to. We’re a microcosm of life here. Everybody’s from different areas, different religions, different races and so we all get along. We all respect each other’s opinions and not necessarily do we go by those but we respect everybody to have a voice. That’s the good thing about America and, like I said, we’re a microcosm of that. My wish is that everybody could follow that.

Neo-Modernism & the DDF’s New Apparition Guidelines, by Julia Meloni

By Julia Meloni, OnePeterFive - The Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF)—in what has been described as a “crackdown”—recently released new norms for discerning apparitions. Revising a 1978 document on the topic, the updated norms, as a general rule, suspend judgment on the miraculous nature of alleged apparitions—arguably reflecting a neo-Modernist discomfort with the supernatural.

Saint of the Day for May 23: St. Gregory VII (c. 1025 – May 25, 1085)

By Franciscan Media - The 10th century and the first half of the 11th were dark days for the Church, partly because the papacy was the pawn of various Roman families. In 1049, things began to change when Pope Leo IX, a reformer, was elected. He brought a young monk named Hildebrand to Rome as his counselor and special representative on important missions. Hildebrand was to become Gregory VII.

Msgr. Charles Pope: Harrison Butker’s Commencement Address Is a Necessary Part of our National Conversation.

By Msgr. Charles Pope - ... most all of us have heard of the uproar regarding Harrison Butker’s commencement address at Benedictine College. Of course he also has many supporters, of which I am one... The negative reaction on the “woke” left is, sadly, more of the same “cancel calls” from those who so often shout, diversity, equity and and Inclusion. As is most often the case, they don’t really mean “DEI” for those who oppose their views. Theirs is a very qualified and limited diversity and inclusion. It is one thing to oppose what Harrison Butker said, but it is another to demand he be sanctioned, fired, or severely fined. In effect, too many of the “woke” demand that he must not be allowed any access to the public square, the NFL or any public forum; he must be silenced.
