Repubs Dump Platform. Go to List of Priorities.

Last updated on: November 8, 2024 at 7:06 am By Rebecca Hamilton

draft For the first time in history, Americans are being asked to vote for a nominee of one of the major political parties whose political party has no platform. The Republican Party of 2020 has decided to forego a platform that is based on principles that were hammered out in a democratic fashion by its active members.

Christian Web Site has Raised $200,000 for Kenosha Shooter.

Last updated on: November 8, 2024 at 7:22 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Yet I have left me 7,000 in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed down to Baal, all the mouths that have not kissed him. God. A Christian web site has raised almost $200,000 in individual donations for Kyle Ritenhouse, the teen-aged shooter who murdered two demonstrators in cold blood and injured one other last week. I hope that the remaining Christians in this country will not allow this behavior of their fallen brethren to damage their faith in... Read more

Biden Needs to Campaign. Now.

Last updated on: November 8, 2024 at 7:25 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Joe Biden needs to campaign. I’m going to excerpt an article below that is just one of a type. I’ve read several articles like this, all written by people who are trying to convince themselves and us that Joe Biden can win this election while staying home. They tell us that direct voter contact doesn’t matter. But direct voter contact does matter. I know it does. Biden needs to campaign the battleground states in a direct and highly personal way. He...

Archbishop Coakley, USCCB, Issue Statement Against Racism

Last updated on: November 8, 2024 at 7:30 am By Rebecca Hamilton

You can not, with any integrity or ability to persuade, say that you are pro life and then turn around in the next breath and deny the basic humanity and essential human dignity of whole groups of people. Archbishop Paul Coakley, who is our archbishop in the diocese where I live, was one of the seven authors of the USCCB’s statement on the murder of George Floyd that made this clear. That statement said in part: Too many communities around... Read more

Pray the Seven Sorrows of Mary

Last updated on: November 8, 2024 at 7:48 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Our Lady appeared to school children in Rwanda a few years before the Genocide. She told them about the coming genocide in very powerful language, telling them that the ground on which they stood would be red with blood. She also told them a way out. “Pray the Seven Sorrows” she told them. I had never heard of the Rosary of the Seven Sorrows of Mary until I read this story about the Rwandan genocide. The Marian visitation to Rwanda... Read more

Vatican Invalidates Thousands of Baptisms Going Back Decades. What About the Unintended Consequences?

Last updated on: August 24, 2020 at 12:09 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Anytime you make a law, issue a ruling or give a legal opinion that constitutes law, you are setting events in motion that will have unintended consequences. The more absolute the language you use in making this law, the more harsh the unintended consequences are going to be. That statement is a simple fact of lawmaking. It expresses the hard and unavoidable reality of governance of any sort, including governance of the Catholic Church. A secondary reality of lawmaking is... Read more
