All the Christians Stand Up

Last updated on: October 2, 2015 at 3:09 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

If a shooter said All the Christians stand up to you, what would you do? Sadly, this is not a hypothetical. It happened yesterday in Oregon. What would you do, if this happened to you? I wrote about this for CatholicVote. Here’s part of what I said. A shooter says, All the Christians stand up. Would you stand? Would I? I’ve lived long enough to learn a few things about myself. One of them is that when I am under physical attack, I tend... Read more

How many of these people understood what they were signing? By the way folks, this “petition” is a ruse. The man getting signatures is a comedian. However, the fact is, quite a few people signed the thing. Did they understand what they were doing???? Read more

6 Things I Saw in Cecile Richard’s Testimony Before Congress

Last updated on: October 1, 2015 at 1:49 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

6 Comments

I watched several hours of Cecile Richards’ testimony before Congress last night. Here are six take-aways that pro life people need to understand. 1. When a grown man, who is a member of Congress, begins a Congressional hearing by making random statements about his family members’ health in order to “prove” his own sincere intentions, and then this guy cries on cue, he’s acting. Either that, or he’s crazy. Or both. American politics has become wacko. The men get on... Read more

It’s Synod Time Again. That Scares Me.

Last updated on: October 1, 2015 at 10:26 am By Rebecca Hamilton

2 Comments

It’s almost Synod time again. After last year’s Synod on the Family, I almost wish they would all stay home. I’m afraid of what craziness the cardinals and bishops are going to cook up concerning marriage. We need leadership from our Church in this time of upheaval. What they tried to give us last year was theological experimentation that walked off from the Gospels into their personal wish list for Jesus as they would like Him to be so their jobs would...

Public Catholic Reader Shares Bird’s-Eye View of Papal Mass in NY

Last updated on: October 12, 2015 at 2:36 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

9 Comments

Public Catholic reader Manny — the lucky dawg — got to go to Pope Francis’ mass at Madison Square Garden (or “the Garden” as he says New Yorkers call it) to assist in the mass officiated there by the Holy Father. He wrote a detailed and touching post for his blog, Ashes from Burnt Roses, describing his experiences. Manny is a good person — even though he is a Yankee and a Republican — and his goodness shines through this... Read more

Is Speaker Boehner Going Home, or Is He Going to be a Millionaire?

Last updated on: September 29, 2015 at 2:56 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Is John Boehner going home, or is he going to be a millionaire? Speaker Boehner stands on the edge of a new beginning in his life. He can turn the page, leave Washington and begin a different life than the one he has known. Or, he can accept one of the mega-lucrative opportunities lying there in front of him, just waiting for him to pick up and make his own. He possesses high dollar skills that can only be acquired...

Planned Parenthood has wiggled and wormed its way around the hideous truth revealed by the videos of its executives, contracting to sell the body parts of babies it has murdered. Among other things, it has claimed that the videos were edited to change the truth of what was said. It has persisted in this lie despite the fact that each time a new video came out, the entire and unedited version of the same video was released along with it. Another lie... Read more

Catholic Vote produced a beautiful video, Dear Pope Francis, Welcome to America. It contains the lovely prayer that God would make Americans worthy of the gift of liberty and justice for all. That is a uniquely American prayer and a good one. I was so proud of my country last week as I watched Pope Francis visit us. I was also so proud of my pope. After I watched him get on the plane to leave, I went outside where... Read more
