By Regis Martin, EWTN News - Are the two pieces of news connected in any way? Of course they are. Which is why, at the end of the day, the real crisis we face in this country is not about abortion — it’s about adoration. It is not about the womb, where babies live, but about the worship, where God lives. It is a crisis of faith, not of morals. Restore the one and you will soon remedy the other. It is that simple.

Fr. Francisco José Delgado (Archdiocese of Toledo in Spain)... criticized Jesuit Father James Martin for a controversial post on Twitter... Martin tweeted “Pete Buttigieg is married,” commenting on a tweet from the Catholic League, which read that “it is true that Peter Buttigieg is legally married, but that is a legal fiction.”... Martin posted: “Surprised this got so much attention. Like it or not, Pete Buttigieg is legally married.”

By Philip F. Lawler, Catholic World News - Another month, another papal interview, another spate of confusion. In a lengthy session with the AP, Pope Francis made a series of puzzling and/or misleading statements about topics including homosexuality, priestly abuse, the Vatican’s policy toward China, and papal resignation... the headline focused on the Pope’s statement: “Being homosexual isn’t a crime.” Most secular media outlets seemed to agree that this was the most noteworthy statement in the interview. But what the Pope said was not news.

Complicit Clergy, by Staff - Beloved Pope Benedict XVI passed away at the age of 95 on New Year’s Eve but left a warning behind. A book of essays penned by the Pope was published in the wake of his death but largely suppressed in the West, likely because it issues a grave warning regarding propaganda and woke ideology infiltrating the West. Benedict’s essays were written to warn people, and Catholics in particular, about a “radical manipulation of human beings” and “the distortion of the sexes by gender ideology.”
