By Msgr. Charles Pope - St. Thomas Aquinas reflected on this question… Now in order to manifest the truth of the Resurrection, it sufficed for Him to appear several times before them, to speak familiarly to them, to eat and drink, and let them touch Him. But in order to manifest the glory of the risen Christ, He was not desirous of living with them constantly as He had done before, lest it might seem that He rose unto the same life as before … [For as Bede says] “He had then risen in the same flesh, but was not in the same state of mortality as they.”

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International - This global pandemic is no different. For this reason, pro-life and pro-family individuals—and lovers of faith and freedom—have every reason to be suspicious when longtime anti-national globalists, sympathizers with China’s communist and authoritarian government, and enthusiastic supporters of population control and legal and government-funded abortion and contraception step forward to suggest that they have the solution to our current problem… For example, Bill and Melinda Gates have made it quite clear that population control is at the very tip-top of their priority list.

By Michael Morris, Crisis Magazine - Trading in a sober view of our final ends for raw power has almost certainly been the Faustian transaction of our time. Then again, it truly is baked into the human experience, terminating with that infamous serpent who hoodwinked our first parents with his somatic wager to recast us as gods.  The payout was anything but—paving the way for sickness, death, and divorce from the Almighty.  In this sense, we live in a time that has done little but simply doubled down on the sins that withdrew us from paradise.
