    "Don't believe your lying eyes"

    "Larry Chapp and Kale Zelden discuss a demoralized Church," is a YouTube conversation that took place on November 24th, a month before Fiducia Supplicans was even published. I believe the conversation captures the frustration that many of us are feeling, both with respect to Pope Francis and...

    How true is Amazon synod video?

    The 6+ minute video talks about the affects of Liberation theology on the Catholic Church. I know that has been very problematic, but I wonder how much of this could be exaggeration etc. from some Catholic Conspiracy theorists etc.

    So it turns out abp. Vigano was correct

    Finally the evidence has been leaked that ex-cardinal ex-priest Teddy McCarrick really was censured and restricted. Like archbishop Vigano said. I'm not surprised. We still have the difference of opinion on whether pope Francis knew archbishop Vigano told him about McCarrick.

    Question for Catholics from an ex-Protestant in search of a denomination

    I was raised Nazarene but I think I'm completely convinced at this point that I can't be Protestant. Now I just have to figure whether I should be Catholic or Eastern Orthodox. I really struggle, as many do, with the current corruption of the Church & the Papacy. I understand that it was the...

    It's Bad When the New York Times Defends the Pope

    I am of the opinion that the New York Times is opposed to almost everything contained within the orthodox teachings of the Church, so when that newspaper defends the Pope, I tend not to think that it's a good thing. It seems to me that in any other circumstance, they'd be castigating anyone...

    Christian Humanism: Replacing The Cross With The Golden Rule

    *This blog post was inspired by conversations I have had lately on these forums. (I have also posted this to my Wordpress blog).* Something extremely dangerous has made its way into the Church. It seems good and right on the surface, but is in fact a diabolical lie and deception that is leading...

    Rumors that Pope Francis will resign

    I have heard this from time to time. Anyone else hear of such a thing? I am fine with it either way -- but I am just curious to know if there is truth to that rumor.

    The Catholic Church needs to wake up about Islam

    May 1, 2018 (Crisis Magazine) – When I first began writing about the Church and Islam, I devoted a lot of space to describing ways that Church leaders could resist the spread of Islam. It seemed only a matter of time until they would wake up to the need to resist. As it turned out, however, that...

    Pope Francis calls for mass in people's own language, not Latin!

    ROME — "Allowing priests to celebrate Mass in the language of the local congregation rather than in Latin allowed the faithful to understand and be encouraged by the word of God," Pope Francis said. Although this has been the standard since Vatican II (over 50 years), many of my Catholic...

    Are you for or against the death penalty?

    On this issue, I agree with Pope Francis who leads the Catholic Church. Too many innocent people have been killed after being wrongly convicted and wrongly sentenced to the death penalty. On top of that, society does not have the right to take life to show that taking life is wrong. It is, to...

    Pope Francis supports undocumented, refugees, and compassion

    On this, I agree with Pope Francis. While I am not Catholic, I appreciate the humanitarian values of this pope and his commitment to Scripture which exhorts us to welcome the stranger, including, yes, immigrants, and to love our neighbours as ourselves including, yes, our immigrant neighbours. I...
