Catholic Church

Fr. Calloway - Hi everyone. You are probably wondering where I went for several days. I've been in a state of torturous agony over the book. I can't give details, but I BEG YOU TO PRAY for my book. I'm more serious than I've ever been. Please, I beg you as your brother and priest, pray for me and for the book. The evil one wants to destroy the book. I have cried so hard and entered into such a place of pain over recent developments. From the depths of my soul, PRAY FOR ME AND FOR THE BOOK TO BE PUBLISHED. Thank you.

By William Kilpatrick, Turning Point Project - One would assume a radical pope like Francis would at least keep a few token conservatives in his entourage. On the contrary: many of his appointees are well to the Left of his own public image. Much can be gleaned about the Holy Father's mind by studying the men he entrusts with power and authority… Take the appointment of Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia to head the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Marriage and the Family. The regime-change took place two years ago; now, as expected, Paglia is conducting a Stalin-style purge of the Academy.
