Pope Francis: Church Must Learn to Abandon Old ‘Traditions’, by Thomas D. Williams

By Thomas D. Williams, PH.D., Breitbart - The Capuchin priest, Father Thomas Weinandy, whom Pope Francis himself named to the Vatican’s International Theological Commission in 2014, listed five points that illustrate the “chronic confusion” that seems to characterize the Francis pontificate, namely, intentional ambiguity, disdain for doctrine, the naming of heterodox bishops, sowing division in the Church, and vindictiveness in the face of criticism… The Pope’s guidance “at times seems intentionally ambiguous,” the theologian stated…

Father-Son Bond is ‘Civilization’s Keystone,’ Expert Says, by David Nussman

By David Nussman, Church Militant - Having a strong relationship between a father and son is essential to Christian civilization, says one family researcher… This was the thesis presented by Dr. Patrick F. Fagan on May 4 at the 2019 Family and Life Conference at St. George's Cathedral in London… Fagan noted that Marxists and radical feminists in the 1960s set their sights on dismantling family life and "the patriarchy" by normalizing various sexual sins.

What the Church Teaches by Saturating Liturgy With the “Glory Be”, by Meg Hunter-Kilmer

By Meg Hunter-Kilmer, Aleteia - The Liturgy of the Hours has a distinct rhythm that becomes familiar over time.
