Image: Screengrab of www.dictatorpope.com Last week, I offered a preview of a new book called The Dictator Pope, which bills itself as “The inside story of the most tyrannical and unprincipled papacy of modern times.” In my sneak peek at the book, I said it was important and asked you to consider pre-ordering it, and you rose…
A letter from Pope Francis praising episcopal guidelines that would allow divorced and remarried Catholics to receive Holy Communion in some cases while living in a state of objective grave sin has now been added to the official acts of the Apostolic See, conferring official status on what was formerly considered by many to be…
A remarkable new book about the Francis papacy is set to be released in English this coming Monday, December 4th, after an Italian debut earlier this month that is rumored to have made quite a splash in Rome. Entitled, The Dictator Pope, it is described on the Amazon pre-order page as “The inside story of the most…
I know we have a global audience, and that not all of you will be celebrating Thanksgiving today like we do here in the United States, but all the same, it’s an opportunity for me to express my gratitude to you. For your readership, for your prayers, and for your support of our work here…
Many Fatima devotees were, I think it’s fair to say, disappointed when the centenaries of each of the original apparitions in 1917 came and went with no discernible event taking place to mark the occasion. For my part, I have always believed that God prefers to be less predictable than this, though there is certainly…
Our friends at The Remnant posted a video over the weekend offering 20 minutes of an interview Editor Michael Matt did with Bishop Athanasius Schneider before the recent Catholic Identity Conference. Although the full video is only available to those who have purchased an on-demand pass to the talks of the CIC, what is laid out here…
If it has nothing to do with saving souls, if it’s trendy with the global elite, if it’s humanist or immanentist or keeps our eyes focused here and not heaven, Francis is all about it. Which explains the latest bit of anthropogenic Catholic climate change from His Holiness, conveniently titled (so you don’t need to…
It’s the 15th of the month again, and that means it’s time for our monthly fundraiser. I have just four quick things to say: First, I’d like to thank all of you who have given so far this month, or throughout this year. Your support and generosity have been nothing short of amazing during what…
Yesterday, something very unexpected happened. In their Fall General Assembly for 2017, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) held votes on several items, among them, the chairmanship for their pro-life committee. Faced with a choice between a bishop with a pro-life track record and a reliably progressive cardinal who has made serious compromises on…
Yesterday afternoon, I received word through one of my sources that something would be coming today, at long last, in the ongoing and seemingly never-ending process that would move things in the direction of the highly-anticipated “formal correction” of the pope. I was told that it would not be the formal correction itself, but something…
One year ago today, on November 14, 2016, four cardinals took formal step of publishing a set of five dubia — inquiries about doubtful theological propositions — that they had issued directly to Pope Francis two months earlier. The dubia pertained to the pastoral guidelines for divorced and “remarried” Catholics living more uxorio (engaging in sexual relations) as outlined…
