Christ’s Commission and Obama’s Mandate: A Teachable Moment

The big news in American Catholic circles is the Obama administration’s “contraceptive mandate.” This latest unethical intrusion of big governmnet stipulates that employers, including religious institutions, provide their employees with insurance coverage for contraceptives, sterilizations, and specific abortifacients such as Ella and Plan B.

Catholic Action League Executive Director C. J. Doyle summarized the situation: “If this unprecedented aggression against the religious freedom rights of Catholics is allowed to stand, then virtually all Catholic institutions — colleges, universities, secondary schools, hospitals, charities, service providers, fraternal orders, and advocacy organizations — will be forced to pay for procedures, devices, and chemicals abhorrent to the consciences of Catholics.”

Obama Says Social Policies Motivated by Bible and Teaching of Jesus


Brian Kelly

When most of our foreign aid goes to the militarization of bogus allies and population reduction of African nations through so-called health care, one is again stunned to hear the president ignore these facts and pretend that the purpose of foreign aid is to help feed the poor and the refugees and provide medicines for the sick.


Temporary Fruits of Ecumenical Reflection


Brother André Marie

From the Holy Father’s Address to the Participants of the Plenary Session of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith:
Also the study documents produced by the various ecumenical dialogues have great relevance. Such texts cannot be ignored, because they are an important, though temporary, fruit of the common reflection matured throughout the years. Nevertheless, they are to be recognized


Obama and Administration Wage War Against Pro-Lifers Freedom of Conscience


Brian Kelly

By imperial edict, and as a dark insult to pro-lifers who were preparing their annual march to the Capitol to protest Roe v Wade and the ensuing murders of the pre-born, President Obama and self-deluded “Catholic” Kathleen Sabelius of the Department of Health and Human Services  have given new meaning to the word dictatorial. Genuinely Catholic and pro-life employers have been issued an ultimatum. They have one year to decide if they will serve God or the leviathan state. What boldness! What injustice!


Is There Fight Left in Hungary?


The Philosopher

We hope so. Daniel McAdams exposes the reheated communist apparatchiks and their fellow revolutionary travelers who run the European Union, and who are trying to bring the nation of Saint Stephen to its knees. Now the Hungarians are taking to the streets to insist that their government not be cowed by the threats of a despotic EU leadership.
Are the Hungarians at it again? Fifty-six years ago Hungarians landed what was ultimately the fatal blow to Soviet domination of Eastern Europe.


Multiracial Protest against SPLC ‘Bigots’


The Philosopher

Said one black pastor to homosexual activists: “how dare you compare your wicked, deviant, immoral, self-destructive, anti-human sexual behavior to our beautiful skin color.” What merited such a lambasting? The SPLC’s smearing pro-family organizations as “hate groups” for opposing the homosexual agenda.

Wouldn’t it be good to hear Catholic priests speaking with such conviction?


Agribusiness vs. Agriculture


Brother André Marie

Do you know the difference? If not, I suggest a glance at a blog I’ve just come across: Catholic Land Movement. In reply to our question, there is a posting on that site called “An Authentic Agriculture.” Here is the first paragraph:
Today we refer to what the giant monoculture farmers do as agriculture. This is actually a misnomer. What the vast majority of farmers do today is in actuality agribusiness. This is an important and essential distinction.


Hungary Capitulating?


The Philosopher

This, from RT: “Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has promised to revise the constitution that Europeans say has breached EU rules. The European Commission earlier this week mentioned curbs on the independence of the Hungarian central bank, the early retirement of judges and supervision of the country’s data …

Satan is manifesting his hatred of Christ and His Church more openly and more violently as each day passes. He knows his time is short and his rage is fever pitched. The “heel” of Our Lady will crush his head, that we know. Before that happens. however, we have to realize we are at war with the forces of hell. These diabolical powers, Pope Paul VI once said, have managed to infiltrate the Church and disorient it from its mission of saving souls, and they have stirred up persecutions against its members all over the world. God will purify His Church with the blood of many martyrs before the conversion of Russia and the “period of peace,” promised by Mary, takes place. As we look at the ongoing fifty-eight years of Communist persecution in China, and the increasing intensity of the Church’s battle in Vietnam, India, Iraq, Kenya, and several other African countries, there seems to be a global onslaught looming over the horizon. And it’s not just the Moslems and atheistic Communists that the Church must contend with; now it’s the Hindus in India. Europe and the West, meanwhile, are self-destructing, with only a handful of nations resisting the assault on the natural law and everything Christian. The great Catholic, Hilaire Belloc, prophesied that if Christendom fell it would not be replaced by the old paganism, but by a new paganism that would be open satanism. The devil has had enough of being worshiped indirectly through idolatry and false religion; in his last days he will demand direct personal worship. When one reads about the rage of homosexual activists against defenders of marriage and the natural law, their sporting of upside down pink crosses, and their shouting blasphemies against Our Lord and Our Lady, that is in-your-face satanism. When you read about pro-abortion, lesbian “nuns,” practitioners of Wicca, some holding tenure as religion teachers in Catholic colleges, you know you’re witnessing satanism. Be prepared. This is what we are facing.

Hanoi, Nov. 17, 2008 (CWNews.com) – A Redemptorist monastery in Hanoi that has been the focus of a struggle between Catholic activists and government officials was attacked by a mob on Saturday night, November 15. Rather than trying to protect the monastery, police did their best to impede rescue efforts. Read full article here.

    Brian, Your commentary is stirring and all too accurate. I have sent it to others in the hope that they will awaken to the ‘handwriting on the wall’. The fight is ALWAYS against the One, True Faith. Thanks, TIM.
