What St. Thomas Aquinas Didn’t Say, by Michael Pakaluk

By Michael Pakaluk, The Catholic Thing - It was most likely on December 6, 1273, one might surmise from the best accounts, that a brother in the Order of Preachers (the Dominicans) named Dominic of Caserta, who was serving as sacristan at the priory at Naples, snuck into the chapel of St. Nicholas, to see if he was there once more — that is to say, Thomas Aquinas, who, as this brother had many times observed before, liked to leave his room secretly before Matins, and quietly descend the stairs to the church, in order to pray before the others arrived.

Appeals Court Panel Appears Likely to Block Abortion Pill or Ban Mail-Order Abortions, by Steven Ertelt

By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews - A federal appeals court appears likely to either block the abortion pill nationwide or at least ban mail-order abortions...

The vote was 7-2, with Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissenting.

If she feels called to, and if circumstances allow for it, a mother should feel zero guilt in seceding from the marketplace in order to devote her full attention to her children. She is, after all, doing the most important work in the world: shaping human souls.

Church Militant: Catholic Bishops Exploit Faith to Promote Woke Christianity

By Church Militant - There are fewer things in the Church more revolting to listen to or see than woke bishops. They are just the latest evolution in the class of men who began as social justice warriors and simply morphed into the next phase.... Take, for example, the archbishop of San Antonio, Texas, Gustavo García-Siller... And before we get into specifics about him, consider that all of these terms are nothing other than dog whistles for communism: woke, social justice, socialism, equity and any other substitute word that comes to mind. It's communism, plain and simple.
