Catholic Church

By Msgr. Charles Pope - When it comes to our personal and final judgment, after we die, there are many caricatures and distortions that are possible. One is of Jesus as a stern and grouchy judge who is looking for reasons to keep us out of heaven. This is the “sinners in the hand of an angry God” distortion. Or perhaps the Lord is weighing our good deeds against our bad deeds in a kind of impersonal, numerical manner. This is the Pelagian distortion where salvation depends on our earning it.

By  Michael J. Matt, Editor, The Remnant - In this edition of The Remnant Underground, Michael Matt takes a look at current events, including Monkeypox, the crisis in Sri Lanka, and the Great Reset’s war on famers in the Netherlands... As food shortages loom, the WEF is saying “Let them eat bugs,” while Gates and Pope Francis tell the world to “stop eating red meat!” What’s going on here? This looks a lot like controlled chaos.

By Francis X. Maier, The Catholic Thing - The United States is a long way from 1978 Czechoslovakia. . .but not so far as it was four decades ago.  The growing hostility to religion in this country, the disregard for law and its enforcement, the expansion of federal administrative power, the rise of what author Aaron Kheriaty, M.D., calls “the biomedical security state.”  These things don’t end well.  And the only way we change them, the only “power of the powerless,” is by refusing to cooperate with the lies.

By Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture - Four years have passed since Theodore McCarrick resigned from the College of Cardinals. We are still coping with the aftershocks of the scandal he caused... Since that time, Pope Francis has named five bishops from the US to the College of Cardinals. Barring a dramatic last-minute change, Bishop Robert McElroy of San Diego will soon join Cardinals Cupich, Tobin, Farrell, and Gregory. All five have had close connections with McCarrick.
