Pope Leo Denounces “Christian Nationalism”

Last updated on: June 10, 2025 at 2:21 pm By Kermit Zarley

On Sunday, June 8th, Roman Catholic Pope Leo XIV led a Mass at St. Peter’s Square asking God to “open borders, break down walls (and) dispel hatred.” He further denounced “prejudice … we now see emerging also in political nationalisms.” It was obvious that he implied what is called “Christian nationalism” advocated by some evangelicals, Pentecostals, and Charismatics in the U.S. who are strong supporters of Republican President Donald Trump. His spiritual advisor Paula White-Cain is a Charismatic televangelist, church... Read more

Scottie Scheffler Continues to Dominate the PGA Tour Scottie Scheffler won The Memorial Tournament yesterday in Columbus, Ohio, by four strokes over Ben Griffin as a repeat of last year. It was Scheffler’s third win in his last four starts, and Griffin had won The Colonial last week in Fort Worth, Texas. The Memorial is played at Muirfield Village Golf Club.

Mennonite Anabaptists Celebrate Their 500th Anniversary Christian Mennonites are gathering in Zurich, Switzerland, to celebrate the 500th year of their origin, which occurred in that city. Although they number less than 2 million people, Mennonites are the largest church denomination among the Anabaptist movement that they started. Anabaptist means to be baptized “again” (ana) or “re-baptized,” although they did not accept either of those terms. These terms refer to Christians who had been baptized as infants in especially state church... Read more

Is Israel Committing Genocide in Gaza?

Last updated on: May 20, 2025 at 10:18 pm By Kermit Zarley

The present Gaza war started in October 2023 because Hamas—the Muslim terrorist organization that governs the Gaza Strip—foolishly attacked the western flank of Israel on October 7 that year, killing about 1,200 Jews. The Israel Defense Force then invaded Gaza to wage a war in an effort to root out Hamas which was dug into an intricate system of tunnels. The result has been that the IDF has now killed over 53,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Most of them... Read more

Palestinians in Gaza Are Uprising Against Hamas

The war in Gaza continues despite a temporary cease-fire that failed. Donald Trump, the former real estate mogul and now U.S. president, last month called for an outlandish proposal for solving the Gaza war if not the larger conflict between Palestinians and the State of Israel—to remove Palestinians from Gaza and turn the place into “the Riviera of the Middle East.” And this week he has called for them to be removed to Libya. Uprising in Beit Layiha The Wall... Read more
