Catholic Church

By Michael Ippolito, Crisis Magazine - St. Augustine once commented on the distinction between the heavenly city and the Earthly city, writing, “Two cities have been formed by two loves: the earthly by the love of self, even to the contempt of God; and the heavenly by the love of God, even to the contempt of self. The former, in a word, glories in itself, the latter in the Lord. For the one seeks glory from men; but the greatest glory of the other is God, the witness of our conscience.”... Biden is not a faithful Catholic, and Easter confirmed his apostasy. We will never have an authentically Christian culture when we have leaders whose “faith” is a matter of convenience. We need leaders who care about building up the city of God, even to the contempt of self.

By Stephen P. White, The Catholic Thing - Next week, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith will publish a document titled Dignitas infinita. According to the prefect Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, the text will include, “a strong criticism of moral questions such as sex-change surgery, surrogacy, and gender ideology.”... There’s no little consternation about the forthcoming document. The chaotic and confused rollout of Fiducia supplicans... just before Christmas, including that document’s varied reception... and the Vatican’s hurried attempts to clarify and qualify, did not bolster confidence in the DDF’s ability to handle divisive issues well.
