If you’ve been following the litigation challenging the now-infamous Health and Human Services mandate requiring employer-provided group health plans to cover abortifacients, sterilization, and artificial contraception, you may be aware that a company named Eden Foods has filed one such lawsuit. Eden Foods is an organic food company that began as a co-operative venture with [...]
In light of the bombing in Boston today, a lot of people are feeling shock, anger, outrage. The news media is circling the scene of the crime like vultures, feeding on the ratings that such a sensational event will inevitably generate. Many Americans are experiencing feelings of fear, vulnerability, and helplessness. The few who actually [...]
The Strange World of European Post-Christian Christianity
In this edition of the New Evangelization Series, Michael Voris talks about politics, the Church, and how we Catholics need to realign ourselves with the teachings of the Magisterium. Tune in for a hard-hitting, no holding back interview! Here is the link to the show: http://bit.ly/VN9dMl Listen to internet radio with The Warrior Catholic on [...]
Living in Europe (and more specifically, Portugal) has been tough in terms of politics lately. I would venture to say even tougher than in America, even with this thorny election. Today is another day in many recently when Portugal is on strike or protesting in the streets. Today is a “general strike” when all are [...]
The campaign is finally over! Whether your guy won or lost, it’s time to take a deep breath and relax, maybe even mend some strained relationships. But, here’s the bad news: the fight isn’t over; it’s only just beginning. The responsibility we have as citizens and Catholics only begins with voting. In fact, what we [...]
“We may never be faced with the big decision for or against Christ, but we are faced fifty times a day with the little decisions for or against Him.” – Dr. Kevin Hughes Recently I was talking to a friend and we were lamenting the appearance of brochures in parishes that are “Voting Guides for [...]
In our current election cycle, perhaps more than any other in the last forty years, we have two candidates for President with stark, contrasting views about the role of government in the working of society. The differences, one would think, would leave a very clear choice for Catholics to make in going to the polls. [...]
I recently joined Twitter and have found that it’s a good way to discover and follow the work of interesting organizations, writers, and artists. Also, I follow an account called Shire Reckoning that tweets events from Lord of the Rings on the days they happened throughout the year. Awesome, right? But connecting to Twitter has also connected [...]
This fall I have been working at CatholicVote.org. While we do a lot of different things, one of the things we are best known for are the videos we put out. Starting in 2008 we have launched several videos about politics, voting, cultural issues, and the Catholic Church. This year, we wanted to produce a [...]
As of this writing, no deaths have been reported. No one has been hospitalized. However, many (myself included) have experienced various common symptoms due to an extremely contagious condition that overcomes our nation in the autumn of every fourth year. I speak, of course, of election fever. The most common symptom associated with election fever [...]
As you’ve likely heard by now, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney announced this weekend that Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin would be his running mate. Ryan, a practicing Catholic, is best known for his work as chairman of the House Budget Committee; his proposals have made him a favorite of conservatives and a despised enemy [...]
This month, hundreds of college students and recent grads — many of them aspiring politicians — will flock to the nation’s capital for coveted government-related internships. To welcome them to town and prepare them for political careers, I’ve written a brief guide: How to succeed* in DC. The cardinal rule of political success is believing [...]
The USCCB is at it again: they’re telling us how to vote. Without actually telling us how to vote. Since 1976, the nation’s bishops have issued a voting guide prior to every presidential election cycle. Last week they released the guide for 2012 — surprising Church-watchers by merely re-issuing the pre-2008 document, “Forming Consciences for [...]
Living in Italy (and by extension, the European Union) puts a lot of perspective on things. For instance, we were told in our orientation for school that in Italy, if you are accused of a crime, you are presumed guilty until proven innocent. To that particular law, I really have no comment. I have never [...]
Q. How do you pronounce “ignitum”? A. Well, you have some options. The Romans would have said ig-NEE-toom. In church, we’d say “in-YEE-toom.”
Why?
