Years ago, on a flight to Chicago to visit an old friend, I found myself seated next to a young woman wearing a t-shirt identifying herself as a proud member of the pro-choice generation. “How lucky for you,” I wanted to tell her, “your mother wasn’t a member.” But I said nothing, a moment of…
While the Biden-Harris administration can be blamed for opening the border to allow more than 10 million migrants into the country, the truth is that none of this would have been possible without the assistance of state officials—including some Republican governors—who not only facilitated the migration but also encouraged it in a misguided attempt to…
Pope Francis’ recent comments during an interreligious meeting with young people at Catholic Junior College in Singapore regarding the smorgasbord of different “paths to reach God” – “[s]ome Sikh, some Muslim, some Hindu, some Christian” – encapsulate the poisonous ideology that has permeated the Catholic Church over the past several decades.

On August 25th, six hundred faithful solemnly processed to the bronze apotheosis of Louis IX which stands in the city’s largest park. The event marked the culmination of the fifth annual Festival of Saint Louis,…
Perhaps there is no better test of the health of a culture than the way that it treats its children. The Canaanites sacrificed their own infants to Moloch; the Carthaginians slaughtered children to Baal; and the Aztecs and Mayans sacrificed children to feed their demonic gods until the Christian conquistadors put an end to the…
On Friday, September 13th Pope Francis delivered a speech to the youthful students at Singapore’s Catholic Junior College, a group which included many non-Christians.
