Catholic Alternative to Boy Scouts of America
Interested persons might look into the Federation of North-American Explorers (FNE). They are affiliated with the Catholic FSE or UIGSE (Union of International Guides and Scouts of Europe). This is a Catholic youth movement. The main page for the movement in North America is www.fneexplorers.com; the page in New Jersey — the first group in the USA, and affiliated with a major traditional Mass center … More →
A Tragic Day for the Boy Scouts
It is a crime against boyhood, manhood, and the honor of a once noble institution. More seriously, it is an obscene gesture sent Heavenward. Homosexual youth will be admitted to the BSA starting January 1 of 2014. The sodomite camel’s nose is now under the Scouts’ tent, and the unholy cause will continue to go from strength to strength as the rest of its malign … More →
Dreadful Misleading Headline of Catholic Online Pins Heresy on Pope
Here’s the headline: Pope Francis says atheists can do good and go to heaven too! “Go to heaven, too?” Yes, but not as an atheist! Pope Francis did not say that an atheist who does naturally good things can be saved if he dies an atheist. Yet that is the impression given by Catholic Online’s half truth headline. This is like taking Saint Paul teaching … More →
Obama’s Month for ‘Gay Pride’ Imposed on US Embassies
The following incisive article by Robert Reilly says it all about the anti-culture imperialism of the globalists’ leading enforcer of self-destruction. We are obliged to know the enemy’s ugly, cruel face if we are to engage him strategically in the arena as militant Catholics. As far as the activist perverts go and the oligarchic hegemony promoting their filthy “conduct,”I haven’t read a better analysis that … More →
Herald’s Margery Eagan Not Confused with Facts
May 17, 2013 Letters, Boston Herald P. O. Box 55843 Boston, MA 02205-5843 To the Editor: With her usual indifference to the facts, Margery Eagan parrots the party line of pro-abortion activists and claims that Savita Halapanavar, the Indian immigrant to Ireland, died in an Irish hospital because she was denied an abortion, (O’Malley goes one step too far, 5/14/2013). The coroner’s inquest found the … More →

Pope Denounces ‘Poverty as an Ideology’
Speaking of Judas’ words on St. Mary Magdalene’s “waste” of spikenard, the Holy Father, Pope Francis, said: “This is the first reference that I personally found in the Gospel of poverty as an ideology. The ideologue does not know what love is because they do not know how to gift themselves.” This passage from the Gospels is a great apologetic for lavishing valuable things on … More →
Robert Hickson on the ‘Vitality of Mammon’
Robert Hickson’s piece, “The Vitality of Mammon in the Decline of a State,” has been archived on the Culture Wars site: The historic Christian Faith and the historic reality of Christian culture – Christendom – from the outset rebuked with severity, and aptly punished, those who “trafficked in spiritual things.” The hucksters of Simony and Usury were condemned and often shunned, because the things of … More →

The interview was conducted on May 3, 2013 with clinic employees located in a different state. Though their descriptions are disturbing, the video images are … More →
Obama’s Scandals
Concerning the recent avalanche of scandal for the Obama White House, Politico ran a story with this unbelievable sentence: “Top GOP sources acknowledge that it’s highly unlikely the White House was directly involved in the IRS mess, but the probe is sure to add to the Republican-spun narrative of Democratic, Big Government overreach.” Can anyone really deny that there is Big Government overreach here? The … More →
Skateboarder Defends Marriage
You can learn a lot from this man. From the TFP: This two-minute unplanned recording was captured during a campaign for traditional marriage in White Plains, New York, by TFP Student Action volunteers. When the man featured in this interview came rolling down the sidewalk on his skateboard, he saw our signs promoting God’s marriage, stopped, and accepted a copy of our handout, 10 Reasons … More →
Boston College Trounced for Honoring Pro-Abort, Anti-Catholic Irish PM
The Catholic Action League of Massachusetts today condemned Jesuit administered Boston College for selecting Republic of Ireland Taoiseach Enda Kenny as its 2013 Commencement Speaker. The university will also confer an honorary Doctor of Laws degree on Kenny during commencement exercises on May 20th. On April 30th, Kenny’s coalition government introduced legislation with the Orwellian title “The Protection of Life during Pregnancy Bill 2013,” which … More →
Newsflash: the Pope is Catholic
Some of the things that Michael Voris points out in this episode of the Vortex have been previously noted on Catholicism.org (here, for instance). It’s worth seeing them all in one place. In brief, Pope Francis is not the pope the liberals modernists and progressivists really want.
