Results of Medical Exam Builds Case for ‘Incorrupt’ Body of Sister Wilhelmina, Says Bishop, by Tyler Arnold

By Tyler Arnold, CNA - The results of a medical examination of the body of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster, OSB, have confirmed that there were no signs of decomposition when her body was exhumed last year, according to a statement from Bishop James Johnston of the Missouri Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph.... Johnston added that there is no official Catholic Church protocol for determining whether a body is incorrupt and noted that “incorruptibility is not considered to be an indication of sainthood.” At this time, he said, there are no plans in the diocese to initiate a cause for sainthood.

Changing the World, One Outfit at a Time, by Anna Davis

By Anna Davis, Crisis Magazine - From public streets, restaurants, and yes, our beloved Catholic parishes, nothing is sacred anymore.

What that even meant is still open for interpretation.

By Fred Fleitz, American Greatness - Trump and Vance’s speeches at Asheboro contrast Trump’s strong mastery of the global threats facing this nation and Harris’s profound national security inexperience and incompetence... Donald Trump and J.D. Vance gave compelling speeches on the urgency of returning to Trump’s approach to U.S. national security to reverse the Biden/Harris administration’s disastrous foreign policy... “Foreign policy is where the Vice President’s unknowns are most troubling… (the Wall Street Journal editorial stated) Ms. Harris hasn’t explained her security views on much of anything… She hasn’t explained to the public what her core principles are, or even who she relies on for foreign policy advice.”

Can We Citizens Beat the Machines That Steal Our Elections to Serve Ruthless Elites? by John Zmirak

By John Zmirak, The Stream - What makes a myth enduring? According to J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, the genuine power of fictional stories, especially fantastical ones, comes from the deep truths they tell — the more powerfully because they’re defamiliarized, disguised, and stripped of the cliches that might have encumbered them in the culture.
