‘We’re Always Required to Choose Life’: Paris Archbishop Gives Profound Lenten Pro-Life Homily, by Jeanne Smits

By Jeanne Smits, LifeSiteNews - “(Jesus') third temptation is about love. We always need to know just how far those who love us are capable of going because of that love. Tempting God is not having confidence in Him and putting Him to the test. Jesus will not tempt his Father, even in the paroxysm of anguish. At Gethsemane, at the heart of the most profound dereliction, Jesus will ask His Father to spare Him the horrible suffering of the cross. Yet He ends his prayer in trusting abandonment: ‘Still, not my will but yours be done’ (Luke 22:42).

They have to tell stories. This holds true for any atrocity, including one that has claimed more lives than even the highest estimates of Stalin’s regime.

Patrick J. Buchanan: Is Diversity a Root Cause of Dual Loyalty?

By Patrick J. Buchanan - Yet, allegations of dual loyalty against ethnic groups, even from statesmen, have a long history in American politics... In 1915, ex-President Theodore Roosevelt, at a convention of the Catholic Knights of Columbus, bellowed: “There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism … German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans, or Italian-Americans... “There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is a man who is an American and nothing else.”
