Victims describe horror of Christmas Nigerian Catholic church attack
The bomb exploded as Esther Ibu walked out of the church, her five-month-old son in her arms, the power of the blast throwing her and the boy to the ground and leaving death all around her. “Before I knew it, I started seeing dead bodies, people burning into ashes,” the woman in her 30s said, [...]
It is Catholicism that is right, not I.
These opinions I have may not be the most popular or religiously ecumenical, but the fact is I’m quite tired of ecumenism. That was what our most recent conversation was about. Ecumenism, or more specifically, tip toeing around the sensibilities of other religions. He finds it elitist a Catholic’s claim of belonging to the One [...]
A cop’s conversion to Catholicism: All that it should be, and more!
When I entered into the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults program, I did so with an open mind. Every Sunday, my enthusiasm increased. I wanted to discover more about Catholicism. But there were also times I had doubts. There were times when others in class talked of the tragedies in their lives that drew [...]
Liberals vs. Tim Tebow: Seething and self-evident anti-Christian bigotry.
The only explanation for what can possibly be fueling this hatred and contempt for Tebow is that he thanks Jesus Christ at every opportunity. That reality alone is what is driving these self-defined paragons of tolerance into the realm of derangement. And if that seems like too strong of a descriptor, consider the words of [...]
The whole point of Christmas: Jesus Christ came to free the faithful from the “curse” of the Law.
Glory to God in the highest: and on earth peace to men of good will. (Luke 2:14) by Doug Lawrence Days after the annual Christmas celebration, people continue to ask, “What’s the point?” Aside from the modern emphasis on mass consumerism, the main point of Christmas is fairly simple, if you happen to like mysteries: [...]
What did the incarnate Jesus know … and when did he know it?
“The knowledge and love of our Divine Redeemer, of which we were the object from the first moment of His Incarnation, exceed all the human intellect can hope to grasp. For hardly was He conceived in the womb of the Mother of God, when He began to enjoy the beatific vision, and in that vision [...]
The absurdity of a “green” Popemobile
The only truly “green” Popemobile by Doug Lawrence How much time, effort and money should be wasted, merely to make a political point? The Popemobile travels no more than an estimated 200-300 total miles per year. How much pollution and how many tons of carbon could it possibly put out? A modified electric golf cart [...]
Archbishop of Boston Cardinal Richard Cushing’s legacy: Followers include EWTN and SSPX
When I contact the Catechetics and Liturgy Office in the diocese of Sydney they too assume that the baptism of desire and invincible ignorance are an exception to the dogma. So widespread is this issue in the Church. From the liberals to the SSPX Holy Cross seminary in Australia all assume that there is a [...]
The Church Jesus founded is also a great gift to the world
The spirit of Catholic charity — that we help those in need not out of any expectation of reciprocity, but as a pure gift, and that we even help those who might not like us — finds no analogue in classical Greece and Rome, but it is this idea of charity that we continue to [...]
An old fashioned Christmas story that’s worth reading, all the way to the end.
The old man sat in his gas station on a cold Christmas Eve. He hadn’t been anywhere in years since his wife had passed away. It was just another day to him. He didn’t hate Christmas, just couldn’t find a reason to celebrate. He was sitting there looking at the snow that had been falling [...]

Archdiocese of Detroit won’t let Real Catholic TV use the word “Catholic”
Interestingly enough, the Archdiocese of Detroit website doesn’t identify itself as Catholic, either. What gives? Link Editor’s note: Look for an official canonical action coming up, where it’s determined that Real Catholic TV is more authentically Catholic than the Archdiocese of Detroit. Allow 8-50 years for the Vatican decision to come down, plus another similar [...]
Feminists defend abortion with desperate passion because the whole shaky structure of their lives depends upon it…
These three interlocking bad ideas—abortion, careerism, and promiscuity—present a complicated picture, and initially a depressing one. If you’ve ever played the game of pick-up sticks, you know how impossible the task looks at the beginning, when you must gradually and carefully dislodge the first sticks one at a time without collapsing the pile.

30 years ago, on December 13, 1981, martial law was imposed upon Catholic Poland by the communist government.
One of (President) Reagan’s first responses was to call someone he deeply respected: John Paul II. On December 14, he told the Holy Father: “Our country was inspired when you visited Poland, and to see their commitment to religion and belief in God. It was an inspiration…. All of us were very thrilled.” The rest [...]

A key insight into the unique, divine personhood of Jesus Christ
Jesus died over 2000 years ago, yet nobody has ever referred to him as the late Jesus, not even the heathens. Nowhere in history. Nowhere has He EVER been referred to in the past tense! Jesus is truly our risen Lord … and the Living God! Submitted by Robert K.
