Steven Ertelt: Democrats Pass First Bill After Taking Over House: Forcing Americans to Fund Planned Parenthood

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews - In a vote late tonight, House Democrats passed a bill attempting to end the partial government shutdown that also funds the Planned Parenthood abortion giant. The vote on the bill came just hours after Democrats took over the House and installed abortion activist Nancy Pelosi as Speaker...

By John Binder, Breitbart - Illegal aliens enrolled and eligible for President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program helped surge the Hispanic vote in the midterm elections, which resulted in historically GOP counties turning blue for Democrats... A study by the Latino Policy & Politics Initiative reveals that the country’s Washington, D.C.-imposed policy of mass illegal and legal immigration — whereby more than 1.5 million foreign nationals are admitted every year — has aided in not only demographically shifting the American electorate but also turning once-Republican counties across the country over to Democrats.

Msgr. Charles Pope: Don’t Be a Liar

By Msgr. Charles Pope - Therefore, away with sophistry, rationalizations, and intentions. Our faith must become flesh in the way we act and move. God’s love for us in not just a theory or idea. It is a flesh and blood reality that can be seen, heard, and touched. The Word of God and our faith cannot simply remain on the pages of a book or in the recesses of our intellect. They must leap off the pages of the Bible and the Catechism and become flesh in the way we live our life, in the decisions we make, and in the way we use our body, mind, intellect, and will.

Discernment: Mental Illness or Diabolical Attack?

By Fr. Paolo Carlin, Catholic Exchange - Distinguishing between mental illness and a diabolical attack — two realities with similar manifestations — is a complex and delicate task. For this reason, the priest exorcist must be very diligent in making use of the human sciences of psychiatry and psychology. The enemy is strong when he is hidden, and psychological or psychiatric illnesses are a realm that, in the exorcists’ view, is easily infiltrated by him and where he is difficult to discover.
