Catholic Bishop on Pro-Abortion Joe Biden Holding a Rosary: “He Brags He’s Catholic When It’s Convenient”

By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews - Several Catholic bishops have emerged as vocal critics of President Joe Biden as he “brags” about being Catholic while advocating for the most radically pro-abortion, life-destroying policies in U.S. history... On Tuesday, (Bishop Rick Stika, of Knoxville, Tennessee) lamented that Biden touts his faith often and publicly but does not practice what he preaches... “So sad that the President likes to pull out his rosary and touts his devotion of Our Lady of Guadeloupe as he forgets another title for her: ‘Our Lady of Life,’” Stika wrote on Twitter. “He likes to brag on his Catholic background when convenient. So very dishonest!”

The Origins of Woke Madness, by Jonathan B. Coe

By Jonathan B. Coe, Crisis Magazine - What’s becoming obvious to even the casual observer of public life is that the Woke are more than happy to sacrifice the truth on the altar of power. If you can exert inordinate influence in the major institutions of America, including on the President of the United States, why let the facts get in the way? If the main thesis of The New York Times’ 1619 Project has very little historical support but wins a Pulitzer Prize, then why recant when eminent historians reduce that thesis to rubble?
