In defiance of her own Archbishop’s decision to deny her communion because of her aggressive promotion of abortion, new reports indicate Nancy Pelosi received communion yesterday at a liberal Catholic church in Washington. As LifeNews reported, Cordileone said he formally notified U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi this week that she can no longer be allowed communion because she is no longer in communion with the Catholic Church by virtue of her repeatedly promoting abortion. Cordileone, who serves Pelosi’s home district of San Francisco, said he informed the congresswoman of his decision Thursday after repeated attempts to speak with her about...

Earlier this year, Nye took on creationist Ken Hamm in a debate pitting evolution against the idea that God created the Earth and everything in it without any outside scientific influence.

"I mean, we all believe in something that we can't prove, I should hope, "" Nye says. So if you get the feeling and you...

CHRISTIAN protesters demonstrated outside the Welsh Assembly today against a poetry reading by a controversial writer. About 250 people gathered in Cardiff Bay as Patrick Jones was preparing to read his work inside the Assembly, after being invited to appear there by two AMs. Their objections, and those of several politicians, have not been able to stop the reading from going ahead.

Mr Bourne said: “I have great concern about the home of Welsh democracy being used...

Chris Matthews is currently interviewing Sister Jeannine Gramick, a former nun who was booted out by then-Cardinal Ratzinger. Matthews said her 'crime' was ministering to gays, but obviously there is nothing inherently wrong with ministering to anyone, so I have to assume her actions went well beyond that. She has started a new sect called "New Ways Ministry." In any case, Matthews was clearly in a quandary.
