Catholic Church

By Jules Gomes, Church Militant - Why saddle yourself with a megalomaniac who claims He is the way, the truth and the life and the only way to get to God, when you can hotfoot it with a Higher Committee of Human Fraternity who whistle their way to world peace and a hippie heaven without the need for a savior?... So, inspired by last year's love letter signed by Pope Francis and his compadre the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Ahmed el-Tayeb and sealed by a holy kiss, the Vatican has issued a statement on behalf of the Higher Committee of Human Fraternity to "dear fellow believers in God, the All-Creator, our brothers and sisters in humanity everywhere."

By Dr. Jeff Mirus, Catholic Culture - The mysteries of our faith are not confined to the supernatural realities which are the object of our faith, such as the infinite being of God, the inscrutability of Divine providence, the unfathomable unity of God’s justice and mercy, or the absolute dependence of all creation on God’s continuous will. No, the mysteries also include all the finite persons God has brought into being, both angelic and human.

By Elizabeth Anderson, Crisis Magazine - Like the Japanese saints, we should not allow despair or discouragement to take hold in our souls simply because this desert is miserable, or our situation harder than we’d choose. A dear friend sent me this reminder (after I confessed that I was very crabby about all things coronavirus), from the 2017 March Magnificat Meditation, by Father Tadeusz Dajczer: “The desert is not a dwelling place; it is only a path, a road on which one comes to know the merciful love of God. Everyone who seeks God must pass through it since the experience of the desert is closely related to the deepening of our faith in his mercy.”

By Michael Hichborn, Lepanto Institute - A sixth investigative report on Catholic Relief Services projects, published by the Lepanto Institute, shows that CRS both implemented and promoted comprehensive sexual education curriculums that include pornographic images and the promotion of contraception… The first curriculum profiled by the Lepanto Institute, called Go Girls!, was linked to directly by a CRS copyrighted document about its DREAMS/4Children project in Lesotho titled, “TWO PLUS TWO EQUALS TEN.”
