The Bishops, the Pope and Fr James Martin. Sheesh.

Last updated on: November 13, 2024 at 12:18 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Here’s the story. A group of American bishops from what news reports characterize as the American Southwest had a lengthy audience with Pope Francis. I am assuming that there was at least an implicit understanding that this conversation was off the record. One would assume that a bunch of bishops would be discreet and trustworthy participants in such a meeting. But, as it turns out, one would assume wrong. Evidently, one or more “unnamed” bishops hustled off after the meeting... Read more

Is Coronavirus Getting Out of the Box? How Long Before a Vaccine?

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

Tick-tock, tick-tock. The pandemic clock is ticking on the Coronavirus. For several weeks now, all the king’s horses and men of international cooperation have managed to keep the virus more or less confined to a regional outbreak. China has taken most of the hit, with only a few other cases scattered around the world. Now, the number of cases in locations outside China is slowly building. It’s like a spark that becomes a blaze and then, if the winds change,... Read more

Be Pro Family. Help Young Couples Pay for Childcare.

Last updated on: November 13, 2024 at 12:25 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Bernie Sanders has come out with an expensive but absolutely necessary 1.5 trillion child care plan. Senator Elizabeth Warren also has a plan to provide for child care costs for working families. Affordable child care would go a long, long way toward allowing working families to have babies again. Most of today’s responsible young couples are like the guy in the movie who got his arm stuck between two rocks and couldn’t get loose. They are so in debt on... Read more

Poor in Spirit, Mourn, Meek: What Does that Mean? Following Jesus, Part 6.

Last updated on: February 24, 2020 at 11:27 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Jesus didn’t cancel the Ten Commandments. They are still the spine on which all our morality stands. Jesus completed the Ten Commandments. If the Ten Commandments, the thou shalt nots, are the spine on which morality stands, then the Sermon on the Mount and the Beatitudes are the arms, legs, and beating heart of that morality. You cannot follow Jesus and ignore everything He taught and said. You cannot label the Beatitudes and the Sermon on the Mount as “impractical... Read more

Don’t Become the Evil You Oppose, Part Four

Last updated on: November 13, 2024 at 12:31 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. I came to accomplish their purpose. Jesus Christ Jesus Christ did not cancel the Law and the Prophets of the Old Covenant. He fulfilled them. The old law called for atonement through repeated blood sacrifice. Mary and Joseph engaged in blood sacrifice when they offered two turtledoves at the Temple as ransom for Jesus. Notice what I said. They “ransomed”... Read more

Cardinal Pell’s Final Appeal Will be Heard March 11-12.

Last updated on: February 20, 2020 at 6:31 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Cardinal Pell’s petition to overturn his conviction for sexual abuse will be heard in the High Court of Australia March 11-12. The Cardinal’s first appeal was dismissed in a two to one decision last August. If the upcoming appeal fails, the Cardinal has no other appeals left and will have to serve at least the remaining minimum of his sentence, which would keep him behind bars for another three years and eight months. Cardinal Pell’s conviction created controversy around the... Read more

The former United States Congressman who Julian Assange’s attorney said offered Assange a pardon from President Trump in exchange for Assange covering for the Russians has confirmed that he did in fact make such an offer. The former congressman, Dana Rohrbacher, says that he contacted Assange and offered to go to President Trump and ask him to grant a pardon to Assange if Assange would say that the source of the Wikileaks attacks that helped elect Trump did not come...

“The devil is real,” Pope Francis Says in Italian TV Interview

Last updated on: February 21, 2020 at 12:15 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Pope Francis is an Italian tv star. He has his own series, an eight-part series of interviews in which the Holy Father will offer his thoughts on the Nicene Creed. During the first installment, which aired Monday, Pope Francis affirmed what Catholic and other Christians have always known: The devil is real. “Some say: ‘No, Satan does not exist: we have something bad inside, because of our material, spiritual or psychological diseases, and thus we have this tendency to evil,’”...

Baby Boy with Down’s Syndrome is the New Osh Kosh G’Gosh Model.

Last updated on: February 20, 2020 at 5:50 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

It looks I’m going to be buying Osh Kosh for my grandkids. Eighteen month old Asher Nash, who has Down’s syndrome, is going to represent Osh Kosh in one of their ads for baby clothes. Couples are routinely pressured by doctors to kill their children with Down’s syndrome by aborting them. This is one of the excuses used to “explain” why late-term abortions are necessary. In truth, there is no reason for an abortion after 20 weeks. If the mother’s... Read more
