Msgr. Charles Pope: The Church Is a Bride, Not a Widow

By Msgr. Charles Pope - Some say that the Catholic Church is hopelessly out-of-date and irrelevant. Some point out that even her own members disagree with a large number of her teachings.

The Church cannot love or admire the world if she is to remain the Bride of Christ

CNA: Massachusetts Bishops Say Action is Urgently Needed on Climate Change

Parishes should integrate Catholic social teaching on the environment in their liturgy and in their religious education program,” they continued. “Action is needed at all levels of government to encourage replacement of fossil fuels with renewable sources of energy while ensuring that the most vulnerable in society are protected from harm during this transition.”

Messori on Church Unrest: Many Are Concerned But Christ Won’t Leave His Church

By Edward Pentin, National Catholic Register - Messori said a kind of “conformism” about Pope Francis exists, which is “palpable” in the Church… “It’s disconcerting that only two or three almost 90-year-old cardinals speak and protest,” he observed, adding that he knows of “many bishops and also cardinals whom I have dialogued with in private who are pulling their hair out in disagreement.”… “But they are afraid, silent, shutting up,” he said… “It’s said this is the Church of mercy, but it’s nonsense,” he said. “Those in command are intolerant of every critical voice.”

VP Mike Pence: Abortionist Keeping 2,246 Babies as Souvenirs Should “Shock the Nation’s Conscience”, by Andrea Trudden

By Andrea Trudden, LifeNews - Vice President Mike Pence took to Twitter yesterday to denounce the abhorrent discovery of more than 2,200 aborted babies in a late abortionist’s home… The horrific discovery of 2,246 fetal remains in abortionist Dr. Klopfer’s Illinois home is appalling & should shock the conscience of every American. While I was Governor of Indiana we took his medical license away & passed a law requiring fetal remains be treated with dignity.
