Catholic Church

By Fr. Gerald E. Murray, The Human Life Review - Today the West lives as if God did not exist . . . This estrangement from God is not caused by reasoning but by a will to be detached from him. The atheistic orientation of a life is almost always a decision by the will. Man no longer wishes to reflect on his relationship to God because he himself intends to become God... Let the Divine Light be our guide. No eclipse can overcome God.

By John Zmirak, The Stream - First a crucial caveat: We Catholics hold with most of the broader Church that the public revelation that is binding on all the faithful ended with the death of the last apostle, St. John. Every truth required for salvation was already being taught, and all the crucial events were complete, by that point... When Pope Francis teaches something that contradicts apostolic tradition and/or the Bible, we know it’s heresy... But private revelations still can happen, and if our church’s authorities examine them and find them helpful, we’re free to believe in them.

By Father David Nix, Padre Peregrino Hermitage - Error 1: “The glorious Christ will judge by the love of neighbor that consists in ministering to the hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, the naked, the sick, and the imprisoned, with whom he identifies (cf. Mt. 25:34-36). For Jesus, the good done to every human being, regardless of the ties of blood or religion, is the single criterion of judgment.”—DI #12.

By James Grein, Matthew David, Catholic Confidential - The real cause of the international coverup was the new laws of the 20th and 21st century of the Catholic Church that required bishops, such as Archbishop Vigano, to cover up the crimes of Cardinal McCarrick. ... Today, Catholic Confidential is breaking this silence and arming the lay faithful with the true cause of the abuse crisis from thoroughly Catholic sources. Five bishops provided comment including new order Bishops Joseph Strickland of Texas and Emmanuel Bushu of Cameroon, and three traditionalists: Bp. D. E. Meikle, Abp. Carlo Maria Vigano, and Bp. Donald Sanborn.
