Catholic Church

By David Carlin, The Catholic Thing - We Americans, I contend, are in the middle of a great revolution, comparable in many ways to the Communist Revolution in Russia and the Nazi Revolution in Germany.  One of the great differences between earlier European revolutionists and our present-day American revolutionists is that our Americans, having profited from the mistakes made by Communists and Nazis, proceed gradually, not suddenly.  If, for example, you shoot priests and nuns and ordained ministers, you may wake the Christians up, and they may fight back.

By Fr. Paul D. Scalia, The Catholic Thing - Saint John Henry Newman once observed that men always think of their own day and age as the worst. In every time, he said, “serious and anxious minds, alive to the honour of God and the needs of man, are apt to consider no times so perilous as their own.” Indeed, we see this from Cicero – O tempora! O mores! – to Thomas Paine – These are the times that try men’s souls! – to today’s political hyperboles.
