I went to Keene, N.H. to run errands. On the way, I said a chaplet of the Rosary. While carrying out my errands and on the trip back, I clicked on the local NPR affiliate to see if there was any news worth hearing. It would have been better had I prayed ... ...Read More »]]> http://catholicism.org/fr-thomas-keating-on-npr-heresy-as-mysticism.html/feed 5 Martin Luther: ‘A True Heretic’ http://catholicism.org/martin-luther-a-true-heretic.html http://catholicism.org/martin-luther-a-true-heretic.html#comments Fri, 02 Dec 2011 15:42:36 +0000 Brother André Marie http://catholicism.org/?p=25259 The words are not mine, but the Pope’s. In his bull condemning the errors of Martin Luther, Exurge Domine, Pope Leo X described his subject as “one whose faith is notoriously suspect and in fact a true heretic.” Yet Catholics are not ashamed to speak well of this heresiarch who wrought such havoc in Christendom. ... ...Read More »]]> http://catholicism.org/martin-luther-a-true-heretic.html/feed 0 The Real Gospel of Life http://catholicism.org/ad-rem-no-172.html http://catholicism.org/ad-rem-no-172.html#comments Mon, 21 Nov 2011 18:35:48 +0000 Brother André Marie http://catholicism.org/?p=25124 The moral teachings of the Church are of a piece with her teachings on faith. Christ’s supernatural revelation to the Church, along with the natural law also entrusted to her, constitute a “seamless garment”1 of truth about God, man, and the destiny of man in God.

A group of academic pedophile lobbyists — i.e., “scientific” activists who think child molestation is OK — are trying to redefine perversion as normalcy.
