A Prophet Among Bishops
As U.S. bishops gathered at their annual meeting, Bishop Strickland stood outside and decided to pick a fight; he confronted the expanding Babylon.
Synodal Fallout: Putting Light Under Bushel Baskets
Where Christ once declared victory in the red blood of His Cross, the Synodalists bleat in the pastels of accommodation.
Who Will Safeguard the Sheep?
The open lesion that can’t heal is the realization that our shepherds despise or entirely disregard us. Will any of them break out of lockstep in Baltimore this week?
Toying with the Holydays
The latest installment of episcopal follies just exploded over this year’s status of Immaculate Conception. Is it a Holy Day of Obligation or not? It depends.
TwitterPope vs. Master Catechism?
A new catechism tool could help even Vatican officials better understand the Catholic Faith.
The Unserious “House of Luce”
I expect heresy and moral scandal to blight the Church from time to time. What distresses me more is the utter lack of seriousness, the lack of appreciation for the awesome responsibility which Church leaders bear.
The Future of American Catholic Schools Lies in the Past
The future of American Catholic schools lies in operating as independently of the state as possible while still remaining financially feasible. Is this possible?
A Jacobin “Synodality”
Don’t be fooled. Just because hot-button issues are not on the Synod’s agenda, it doesn’t mean that the revolution is not in full swing.
The Legacy of Pope John Paul II
Pope John Paul II is the most dominant figure of the post-Vatican II Catholic Church, shaping the Church in ways positive and negative. What is the overall legacy of this celebrated pope?
Solipsism and the Synod
The Synod on Synodality largely consists of men and women unable to look beyond their own noses but able to look down their noses at everyone else.
Opus Dei: Monsters, Dupes, and Slaves?
Gareth Gore’s new book “Opus” is full of malevolence and divides Opus Dei into three parts: monsters, dupes, and slaves.
Synodality: Institutionalized Self-Interest and Selfishness
A new form of religion has come into being— masquerading as Catholicism—in which selfishness has been institutionalized. This new religion has called itself Synodality.
Bishop Athanasius Schneider: The Church’s Conscience
Much of that to which Bishop Schneider feels compelled to respond (and that to which the Church ought to) is a “dis-ease” dividing the world in its struggle with itself and with God.
Beyond the Field Hospital
The analogy of the Church as a “field hospital” can easily lead pastors to an abdication of their duties.
An Open Letter to the Bishops of Canada
I beg our Canadian bishops to follow in the tradition of saints like Jean de Brébeuf and defend the Church from spurious attacks by the State.
The Synodal Comedy: Act II
In the Synodal Sessions, the Faith’s majesty is trampled upon, then traded for the cheap trinkets of the best psychobabble money can buy.
The Lessons of Louvain
Pope Francis was invited by the University of Louvain to celebrate its 600th anniversary, and a gaggle of feminist idealogues swarm all over him to demand an immediate “paradigm change” on all issues relating to women.
Love for St. Peter and His Successor
My love for Peter endures because he is like me, fragile flesh and blood, but also unlike me, in that he became holy, despite his sin. I must love the successor of Peter, even when that successor causes me to suffer.
Homeschoolers vs. Goliath
It is apparent that there is real division in the Church; banning the homeschoolers from church property has revealed that division far more than allowing them to use the space ever could have.
The Mystery of the Stigmata (Guest: Paul Kengor)
