Archdiocese of Milwaukee Leads the Way on the Catholic Church and Gender Theory

Last updated on: August 16, 2022 at 5:38 pm By Dennis Knapp

The archdiocese of Milwaukee leads the way for the rest of American Catholic Churches regarding gender ideology in the United States. The recently released document, Catechesis and Policy on questions Concerning Gender Theory, provides the single most concise Catholic position on gender theory currently available. Furthermore, this document should serve as a framework for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ response to the gender identity crisis in the Church. Personally, speaking as a youth volunteer at my local parish,... Read more

Baby Formula, Abortion, Mid-Term Election 2022 and Beyond

Last updated on: August 16, 2022 at 5:37 pm By Dennis Knapp

What is worse: a national shortage on baby formula or limited abortion rights? How you answer this question will determine how you vote in the mid-term 2022 elections. Interestingly, the national media (and the president of the United States) remains largely silent on the shortage. In place of the inability to feed the nation’s infants due to a baby formula shortage, national news coverage focus is on the potential loss of the ability to kill other babies in utero. This...

Anti-Catholicism, SCOTUS, and Abortion

Last updated on: August 16, 2022 at 5:36 pm By Dennis Knapp

Anti-Catholicism is not new to the United States. America has a long history of anti-Catholic rhetoric dating back centuries. Today, anti-Catholicism again rears its ugly head. Catholic Churches across the US are poised to be set upon by pro-abortion activists. The target? Catholic moms on Mother’s Day. Whether you’re a “Catholic for Choice”, ex-Catholic, of other or no faith, recognize that six extremist Catholics set out to overturn Roe. Stand at or in a local Catholic Church Sun May 8....

Affirming Identity: Disagreement or Personal Attack?

Last updated on: August 16, 2022 at 5:36 pm By Dennis Knapp

Is my Catholic identity invalidated by non-Catholics who cannot accept that which I hold to as ultimate truth and makes up a large part of my interpersonal identity? Should I consider hateful anyone who does not support my lived Catholic experience and denies it even as possible that my beliefs are true? Such questions may seem absurd, but this line of questioning is what those who disagree with transgender ideology deal with on a regular basis when discussing transgenderism in... Read more

The Apostle Peter Deconstructed: Re-Crucify Peter to Discredit the Pope

Last updated on: April 24, 2022 at 1:43 pm By Dennis Knapp

Did you know that, according to Church tradition, the apostle Peter (the apostle Roman Catholic hold as their first pope) was crucified upside down? Tradition teaches he felt unworthy to die in the same fashion as his Lord. Sadly, some theologians wish to re-crucify Peter to discredit the papacy. They undermine his importance among the twelve apostles and highlight his failures to demonstrate that he is NOT “the rock” Jesus referenced in Matthew 16:18 (even though Peter literally means rock...

Jesus “Banned” from Twitter

Last updated on: August 16, 2022 at 5:34 pm By Dennis Knapp

Would Jesus’ comments on gender and sex get Him banned from Twitter for “hate speech?” Would Jesus find Himself in the same situation as the Babylon Bee for affirming the reality of biological sex? And before you excuse Jesus as a byproduct of His time, know that Christians believe Jesus the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). *All bible verse are taken from the English Standard Version (ESV) Jesus On Sex and Gender Below are verses that show Jesus’...

Why I am Catholic: My Long Journey to Rome

Last updated on: April 14, 2022 at 7:03 am By Dennis Knapp

Why am I Catholic? Today marks the twenty-first anniversary of my admittance into full communion in the Catholic Church. At the Easter Vigil on April 14th, 2001, I ended my long journey to find Christ’s Church, a journey that began on August 28th, 1988. From Absence of Faith To say I had no idea who Jesus was, and what he did for me, would be an understatement. My family was highly dysfunctional. Early in my life I witnessed alcoholism and...

What Happens When the Existential Vacuum Stares Back at You?

Last updated on: April 11, 2022 at 7:59 pm By Dennis Knapp

What happens when the existential vacuum stares back at you? This may seem like an inauspicious question, but as our youth and Western society experience an identity crisis, the answer to this question is of the utmost relevance. Previously, I wrote about the identity crisis experienced by our youth. In this article, I further explore the causes of the current crisis in the West drawing upon the wisdom of Viktor Frankl, Fredrick Nietzsche, and Blaise Pascal. I will also present... Read more

It’s Not What You Define, but Who Defines It: The Truth Behind Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Refusal to Define the Word “Woman”

Last updated on: August 16, 2022 at 5:33 pm By Dennis Knapp

It’s not what you define, but who defines it… Recently, President Biden’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, was asked to define the word “woman” during questions regarding an opinion Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote that included the word “woman.” Below is the account taken from the Washington Post: “I’d love to get your opinion on that, and you can submit that,” Blackburn continued. “Do you interpret Justice Ginsburg’s meaning of ‘men’ and ‘women’ as male and female?” “Again,...

Election 2020: The Victory Ensured by Big Tech and Big Media’s Manipulation of the American People

Last updated on: August 16, 2022 at 5:32 pm By Dennis Knapp

Was the 2020 election fair? Were both candidates given the same opportunity to win? No. One side held an unfair advantage, an advantage set in motion by America’s elite. Now, I do not think there was rampant voter fraud. I also DO NOT support whatever happened at the capital on January 6th. Full discloser, I did vote for Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020. I did so because the alternatives (Hilary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020) were... Read more
