Catholic Church

By Nicholas Wylie, Church Militant - The Spanish government is attempting to prevent citizens from publicly praying the Rosary in protest of the country's socialist government... Spanish officials are targeting Catholics who meet every night in front of the Parish of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Madrid to pray the Rosary in opposition to their corrupt leadership... José Andrés Calderón, the Rosary protest's organizer, posted Monday after being arrested and fined for praying, "We live in a tyranny where we are not allowed to worship God. But if they think that they are going to silence the Spanish people like this, they are very much mistaken. God with us!"

By Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture - Last Saturday, when I read the first report on La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana (found in English as the Daily Compass) that Pope Francis planned to strip Cardinal Raymond Burke of his salary and oust him from his Vatican apartment, I did not believe it. Would a Sovereign Pontiff really take such a vindictive action? My editorial instinct—the sensor that Hemingway talked about—warned me to proceed with extreme caution. So CWN did not mention the report in our headlines that day.

By Kevin Mathewson, Kenosha County Eye - “[Lori Hawkins] is kind of an extremist… [She’s] 100% in favor of and total acceptance of all of those things, and the person that’s writing all these things is pushing the very things the diocese is rejecting,” said Father Gerry Hessel of St. Mark Catholic Church in Kenosha. “These things” that Father Hessel is talking about are the issues that failed political candidate Hawkins supports. Hawkins, like many democrats, supports abortion until birth for any reason, radical LGBT issues, pediatric genital mutilation, pornography in schools, and anti-gun policies

By David Warren, The Catholic Thing - Even before the Batflu lockdowns, which began in 2020, a desolation in the Catholic Church had become apparent... Although statistics must necessarily be inadequate to convey it, we can get a vague glimpse through the surveys. What, we wonder, do Catholics “really” believe?... I say vague because we can’t ask simply who believes and who does not believe what they have been taught. For one thing emerges from the research rather clearly: that “modern” Roman Catholics aren’t taught very well.
