My friend Michelle Arnold writes a beautiful memorial…

Last updated on: August 29, 2019 at 8:56 pm By Mark Shea

…as the anti-semitic Freak Show disgraces American conservative Christianity in so many places: Nearly a dozen years ago, I noticed an advertisement for introductory classes on Judaism at local synagogues that were open to the community. Interested non-Jews were invited to learn a bit about Judaism. The first three-week session was informative, but somewhat disappointing because the rabbi seemed to have a very large chip on his shoulder about Christians. Had I not already been signed up for the second... Read more

Francis and the Schismatic Wannabes

Last updated on: September 4, 2019 at 10:20 pm By Mark Shea

Recently, Michael Sean Winters warned that the Francis-haters want schism: Last week, a friend called my attention to a website called “Faithful Shepherds” that was launched a year ago by LifeSiteNews. They state that their purpose is to provide a “one-stop database” about where Catholic bishops stand on certain issues and to “encourage bishops to be faithful to Christ.” The website considers a range of issues, including homosexuality and liturgy: “Does your bishop encourage Communion on the tongue while kneeling?” is one...

A Prayer for 9/11

Last updated on: September 11, 2019 at 7:20 am By Mark Shea

Father, grant eternal life to all the victims of 9/11, living and dead. Give us the grace to forgive the murderers, to abandon fear as a way of life, to reject violence and hatred as the path to greatness, and to embrace your way of the cross as the path to life. Help us to love our country with true patriotism, not by embracing nationalism, but by rejecting it as the demonic lie that it is. Give us hearts like... Read more

If Trump Were an Airline Pilot

Last updated on: September 3, 2019 at 4:35 pm By Mark Shea

Back in 2016, the Right Wing Lie Machine published a famous essay ginning up hysteria among the suckers who have been trained by years and years of Right Wing Lie Machine Panics du Jour to fly into a terror about everything the Lie Machine commands them to fear and lose their sanity about. (Who can forget the Tan Suit Panic du Jour, the Latte Salute Panic du Jour, or the Paper Clip Panic du Jour?). Indeed, here are a mere... Read more

Cdl. Burke Dissents from the Church’s Teaching

Last updated on: September 3, 2019 at 5:03 pm By Mark Shea

Mike Lewis, over at Where Peter Is, writes: Recent remarks by Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke, captured on audio, prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Burke explicitly rejects the revised teaching on the death penalty in Catechism #2267 and urges catechists not to accept or teach the change that Pope Francis has mandated. On this site, we have long been tracking the views of those with extremist viewpoints who criticize Pope Francis. We have also noted a more mainstream contingent whose... Read more

The Silence of the “Prolife” Cult of Trump on Euthanasia

Last updated on: September 9, 2019 at 7:52 am By Mark Shea

Back in the day, we were instructed that among the Five Non-Negotiables was Euthanasia. Of course, that did not count the euthanasia of people conservatives want put out of their misery on death row. As ever, the Most Wrong Demographic in the Church is passionately in favor of that and is willing to fight the Church to kill even innocent people in order to unnecessarily kill the guilty. But they at least said that they opposed the murder of the... Read more

The Cult Where Accusation is Always Confession

Last updated on: August 31, 2019 at 9:19 am By Mark Shea

One of the most notable (and diabolical) features of the Cult of Trump is it’s constant habit of using accusation as a form of confession. What it declares its enemies guilty of is, again and again, a confession of its own deepest desires and evils. So, for instance, the great rallying cry of the Cult was the accusation that Clinton was a menace to national security. So it elected a dolt who hands classified information to Russian spies in the... Read more
