Catholic Bishops Hide Seminarian Sex Scandal Under Border Crisis

By John-Henry Westen, LifeSiteNews - In a media coup that beggars belief, the bishops in the know managed to have the mainstream media not only looking the other way but in fact cheering them on while at the same time one of the most serious revelations of sexual abuse by one of their senior members garnered little notice… Several bishops were feted in the media for issuing statements slamming President Trump’s tougher standards at the border as “immoral” and calling it a “right to life” issue. One bishop went so far as to suggest excommunication for Catholic border guards involved in implementing Trump’s immigration policy.

Looking for a New Examination of Conscience? Try the Rule of St. Benedict

By Peter Kwasniewski, LifeSiteNews - Catholics are encouraged to prepare themselves for the Sacrament of Penance by prayerfully reviewing an examination of conscience. A multitude of formats for such examinations can be found. Most commonly they are based on the Ten Commandments, but sometimes one will find reference to the Beatitudes, the corporal and spiritual works of mercy, the virtues and vices, or categories of people.

The Priest is Irreplaceable in Preaching the Gospel of Life

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International - Perhaps no other encyclical in the history of the Church has received so much ridicule and caused such controversy as Humanae Vitae. Even today, 50 years later, it still evokes heated discussions and debates… Yet when encouraged to read the encyclical, one quickly learns of its profound teaching and defense of God’s divine plan for human sexuality, marriage, family and life. The Church, in this encyclical, is preaching Good News and is pro-love and pro-life.

Fr. Dwight Longenecker: Rebuilding Western Civilization: A Tale of Two Monasteries

By Fr. Dwight Longenecker, The Imaginative Conservative - Enchanted by the place, I returned some months later to make my annual retreat. I took with me a rosary that a concerned parishioner gave me, and the Protestant boy that I was, felt dismay at such a Catholic devotion. The worship of Mary was a Catholic heresy! Should I really entertain such a practice? Remembering F.D. Maurice’s dictum that “a man is most often right in what he affirms and wrong in what he denies,” I decided to give it a try.
