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.”

College President’s Letter to NH Legislators on HHS Mandate


Brian Kelly

The following is an open letter that Dr. William Fahey sent to New Hampshire’s senators and Congressman Guinta voicing his outrage over President Obama and the HHS  mandate requiring submission of all employers to provide contraceptives, sterilizations, and abortions under so-called health insurance for employees.


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?

In the early days at Saint Benedict Center Brother Francis Maluf gave nine talks to a class on Saint Paul’s Epistle to the Hebrews.

The last of Saint Paul’s fourteen epistles was written around the year 62, from Rome and sent to all the Jewish Christians in Palestine. The content of the letter is extremely theological, whereas most of the Apostle’s other epistles were pastoral.  Clearly, as Brother Francis points out in these fascinating lectures, it was St. Paul’s intention to also reach the unbelieving Jews. Those being addressed by the writer knew the scriptures and they had to have known them well. Brother Francis guides his listeners, chapter by chapter, on a delightful journey of “Biblical” proportions. For the unfamiliar, the Old Testament is made much more understandable. One who has a basic knowledge of the Old Testament can read this epistle on their own and learn much, but, as the inquiring eunuch of Queen Candace said to Philip the deacon concerning the book of Isaias, “How can I [understand] unless some man show me?”  Our interpreter of this enlightening but mysterious epistle, is Brother Francis.  He seems to enter into the persona of St. Paul as he makes his inspired words come alive.  One could say that Brother’s audience joins the Catholic Hebrews in spirit as it relishes the wisdom of God as He gradually prepares His people by types, figures, and rituals for the advent of Christ, the Lamb of God, and the Holy Mass.   This epistle provides the keys by which we can discover Christ in all the figures and prophecies of the Old Law.
