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.”

Restore Communion On The Tongue Only


Brother André Marie

Two priests, Fr. Andrew Wise and Fr. John Speekman, have started a petition effort on their blog called “Restore Communion On The Tongue Only.” They, and the 2484 (so far) signatories to their petition, are asking the Pope to restore the ancient and traditional Roman practice of reception of Holy Communion that was obligatory until Pope Paul VI approved the 1969 Vatican Instruction, Memoriale Domini.

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?

    Homosexuals not so ‘gay’ in California

    Catholicism.org

    Judge Roy Moore writes about the queer rage over Proposition 8. Here is the critical paragraph:

    The homosexuals’ response to the passage in California of Proposition 8, a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman, has been marked by violence, hatred and anti-religious bigotry. Earlier this year, the California Supreme Court struck down Proposition 22, a law passed in 2000 wherein the people of California had declared marriage to be only “between a man and a woman.” Once again voicing their support for traditional marriage this Nov. 4, Californians approved Proposition 8, joining 29 other states where, by an average vote of 67 percent, the biblical definition of marriage has been protected in state constitutions. Proving to be the sorest of losers, thousands of angry homosexuals took to the streets to protest Proposition 8, even attacking Mormon and Christian churches in the process.

    • Mary Ann

      So, tell me Brother Andre where is yore christian compassion and love who really are the sore losers? As for myself I have been living in anythig but sin for 28 years and that is a lot more then I can say for more my father who was in a traditional marriage with my mother and found it neccessary to scare the heck out of me constantly with his vulgar tirades and turn my beautiful mother into an emotional wreck a shell along with the rest of us.

    • Brother André Marie

      Mary Ann: On this issue, I would say my Christian compassion and love consists in two things. First, in telling the truth. “Charity rejoices with the truth” says Saint Paul. Homosexuality is a grave moral problem and its acts are objectively mortally sinful. Holy Scripture could not be more clear, and the infallible teaching of the Catholic Church only affirms it. Second, my compassion and love consist in telling the person who sins that, with the grace of God, he can change, finding his true happiness in Christian faith, hope, and charity — which will ultimately bring him to heaven if he perseveres to the end.

      I am sorry about your father and your upbringing in an apparently dysfunctional family. The fact that some “traditional marriages” (i.e., REAL marriages, or those between a man and a woman) are not happy, does not rule out the fact that marriage is defined as the union of one man with one woman. The abuse of a thing does not rule out its proper use (abusus non tollet usus). Police brutality does not argue against the institution of law enforcement. Governmental corruption does not justify anarchy. So, too, bad marriages do not rule out marriage, which was instituted by God as the union of one man with one woman.

      Brother Andre Marie: Your response to Mary Ann is the best I have ever heard on this matter. You are the only person I know of besides me who has put in writing that homosexual acts are mortal sins. I think that communicating that is of the utmost importance. I cannot tell you how many Catholics cannot comprehend this, and many are actually shocked when I use the terms “homosexual act” and “mortal sin” in the same sentence. Again, thank you for this post. I hope many will read it.
