Msgr. Charles Pope: Why Was Christ Crucified Between Two Thieves?

By Msgr. Charles Pope - We are all sinners and thieves. How are we thieves? One who takes what belongs to another is a thief, but so also is one a thief who uses what he received from another in a way contrary to his will. In this way we are all thieves, for we have used the things of God in ways contrary to what He wants… Consider our bodies, which belong to God.. How often do we use them in ways contrary to what God, the true owner of our bodies, wants? We often use our bodies to sin. We use the gift of speech to speak words of malice and deceit rather than those of truth and encouragement. We allow our eyes to look upon things that violate what God would have us see. We use our ears to listen to gossip, hatred, and impurity.

Opinion: Big Business and Climate Cronyism, by Lewis Morris

By Lewis Morris, Patriot Post - The Climate Leadership Council (CLC) is made up a who’s who of Republican and Democrat lawmakers, consultants, and policy wonks who have supposedly come up with a plan to develop a “revenue neutral” carbon tax that would provide dividends to low- and middle-income Americans to offset the inevitable higher energy costs that would be produced by said tax… The CLC plan has the support of several energy producers, including ExxonMobil, BP, ConocoPhillips and other oil and natural-gas companies. It might sound intriguing at first glance, but as with all things revolving around climate policy, it’s necessary to drill deeper.

By Lianne Laurence, LifeSiteNews - Canada’s largest newspaper threatened Catholic schools in an editorial that unless they get in line with homosexuality and transgender “rights,” support will only grow for an end to their public funding… Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) trustee Mike Del Grande… along with Teresa Lubinski, Garry Tanuan and Nancy Crawford — voted November 7 after months of bitter debate not to add “gender identity, gender expression, family status and marital status” to the TCDSB’s code of conduct as prohibited grounds for discrimination.

Do You Think That a Man Can Change? by Jennifer Hartline

By Jennifer Hartline, The Stream - Do you think that a man can change?... That little question came back to me as I read David’s cry of remorse to God. Marvel for a moment at David’s abiding trust in God in that Psalm. Knowing all the evil he has done, knowing how gravely he has sinned against God, knowing he has no right to ask pardon, he still believes that God will hear him and show him mercy… He dares to ask for what he does not deserve. He has the audacity to go to God with blood on his hands and ask to be washed clean. He has the nerve to ask God to restore in him what has been broken. And He believes God will do it.
