Multiple exit polls show that President-elect Donald Trump won the Catholic vote by a wide margin in Tuesday’s election – posting the strongest performance among Catholics for a Republican nominee since Ronald Reagan. In the past several election cycles, Catholics as a whole have emerged as an important swing voting bloc – and the candidate who wins their vote has almost always gone on to win the presidency. In 2020, Joe Biden bested Trump among Catholics by five points, per Gallup. One exit poll from The Washington Post (WaPo) found that Catholics across the country backed Trump over failed Democratic...

[Catholic Caucus] Bergoglio Prostrates Himself to the Builders of Evil. By Danilo QuintoThe author is a former and repented high-placed activist of the immoral and inhuman Italian Partito Radicale which works for the de-Christianisation of Italy. On 5 November Bergoglio paid a visit to Emma Bonino, a former leader of that party. Bergoglio called Bonino a ‘great Italian’ (sic) and example of ‘liberty and resilience’ (sic).I too frequented that terrace in Trastevere, in the centre of Rome.Those were the years when strategies were being imagined and constructed to consolidate the results of the divorce and abortion laws, which destroyed the...

R&B singer and songwriter John Legend responded to a video that Christian YouTuber Ruslan made addressing the singer’s views on abortion. Ruslan was reacting to comments Legend made in a conversation with former pro football player and commentator Shannon Sharpe in which Legend shared about a miscarriage his wife, Chrissy Teigen, had. “I was always pro-choice,” Legend told Sharpe in the interview on Sharpe’s podcast, “Club Shay Shay,” on Oct. 23. “Actually, not always. I grew up in the church, and we were taught that, you know, we were supposed to be pro-life.” “As soon as I became an adult,...

[Catholic Caucus] Cardinal Burke: Synodality is not a ‘mark of the Church,’ final proposals are ‘dangerous’In response to the Synod on Synodality, Cardinal Raymond burke said Catholics 'should be devoting our energy to the proclamation of the truth about human life, about human nature, human sexuality, marriage, the family, religious freedom.'Cardinal Raymond Burke has stated that the proposals of the Synod on Synodality’s final document are “extremely troublesome and dangerous.”In a World Over interview with EWTN’s Raymond Arroyo October 31, Burke opined briefly on the final text which has emerged from the recently concluded Synod on Synodality.READ: Synod final text...

The CRCNA (Christian Reformed Church in North America) is a historically conservative denomination in the process of being eaten alive by famished and bad-faith progressives, and they are barely fighting back. Like a wildebeest that quietly lets lions tear chunks out of its hindquarters with half-hearted resistance, so too has the CRCNA been being attacked and put upon by LGBTQ-loving liberals, slowly being drained of the lifeblood of Christ. We saw this defeatism most evidently in 2022, when their flagship school, Calvin University, made a devil’s deal with gay-affirming staff and professors. The school’s board of trustees voted to allow...

We’re down to the final days of the presidential election. I can hear your whoops and hollers of joy from my keyboard! No doubt you’ve grown weary of non-stop campaign ads. We all have. But this suffering is worth it if it would move every Christian to vote pro-life up and down the ballot. I often say I wouldn’t vote a dogcatcher into office unless he or she was pro-life. People usually snicker and roll their eyes, but my point is every politician climbs their own personal ladder to political success. That may be the school board, a member of...

Former President Donald Trump recently reissued his loyalty test to religious Americans, declaring that he can best protect their freedoms while preemptively blaming members of certain faiths should he lose the presidential election in November. Jews and Catholics can vote for him and ace the test, but those who don’t, he says, “need their head examined.” If he loses, Trump added, "Jewish people would have a lot to do with the loss.” Among the Jewish leaders appalled at Trump’s remarks was Rabbi Rick Jacobs. “Your words preemptively blaming Jews for your potential election loss is of a piece with millennia...

Tucker Carlson has astutely analyzed the Democratic Machine as the party of weirdness, envy, hate, resentment, and bitterness. [1]Conservatives, Pastors, and Christian bible study groups really ought to delve deeply into the sin condition called envy because then they would understand and see it at work today in revolutionary and woke politics, ideology, DEI, Critical Race Theory, Queer Theory, Sustainability, all redistributionism policies, Climate Change, Green politics, Darwinism (reduces human to not-human), scapegoating and more. Marxism, for example, is envy reframed as revolutionary politics and science that will create utopia when every cause for envy has been eradicated:“When I say...

Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering. Hebrews 13:3 In 1994, Bill Clinton signed FACE into effect, making it a crime to block abortuary access. In 2021, nearly a dozen pro-life activists participated in a sit-in/rescue at Carafem Health Center in Mount Juliet, Tennessee. They read from their bibles, sang hymns, and in some cases blocked access to some of the doors. When a police officer came to remove them, they peacefully complied and left. As a result of their actions,...

Billy Graham recently penned an op-ed in Newsweek endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris and accusing former President Donald Trump of being "a megalomaniac.""As someone who enjoyed the privilege of growing up around the revered minister Dr. Billy Graham — or as we grandchildren knew him, 'Daddy Bill' — I recognize very little in former President Donald Trump of the Christian faith that has inspired my life," wrote Jerushah Duford, whose mother, Virginia "Gigi" Graham Tchividjian, is Graham's eldest daughter.Duford's op-ed drew kudos on X from figures such as Kellyanne Conway's husband, George Conway, who...

[Catholic Caucus] Meeting the pope as my true self: A transgender man's encounter with Pope FrancisOne of my earliest memories regarding my gender is an experience I had at day care, where all the little girls were given pink blankets at nap time and all the little boys were given blue blankets. As a child in the early '90s, I didn't know anything about LGBTQ identities, but I knew that it didn't feel right when they handed me a pink blanket. Even then, I knew I belonged on "the blue side," and asking for a blue blanket was the only...

Evangelicals have expressed "disbelief" at comments made by the Archbishop of Canterbury in which he claimed that gay sex is not sinful if it is within a committed relationship. Archbishop Justin Welby made the comments on "The Rest is Politics" podcast hosted by former Labour spin doctor Alastair Campbell and former Tory MP Rory Stewart. Campbell used the podcast to pose a similar question to one he had asked Archbishop Welby in a 2017 interview for GQ magazine about whether he believed gay sex was sinful. Asked if he now had a "better answer" to that question, Welby said he...

[Catholic Caucus] Cardinal-Elect Timothy Radcliffe Reveals the Synod’s Revolutionary DNAMost faithful Catholics fortunately have little reason to know much about Fr. Timothy Radcliffe, even though Francis recently named the pro-LGBTQ Dominican priest on the list of Cardinals to be created at the December 8 consistory.However, it is worth examining Radcliffe’s October 21 meditation delivered to the participants on the ongoing Synod on Synodality because it offers us one of the most honest and accurate statements of what is truly going on in Rome today. We can get a clear picture of how the Synodal Church differs from the Catholic Church...
