Depending on the survey, there are between 52 and 62 million Catholics in the United States; they make up roughly 20 percent of the population. That’s a significant demographic, made all the more serious given the fact that whoever wins the Catholic vote generally wins the presidential election. Therefore, one would think that a group called Catholics for Kamala would have a rich website, complete with a list of her accomplishments. We would expect a detailed analysis of her public policy positions that are important to the Catholic community. But there is none of this. Indeed, it is a pitiful...

The Betrayal of the Catholic Church in ChinaThere is some historical evidence that suggests St. Thomas the Apostle went not only to India, but all the way to China. At the latest, we know there were Christians in China from AD 600 forward. Since then, they have been few in percentages but great in suffering for Jesus Christ. The persecution of Catholics in China peaked in the 20th century under the Boxer Rebellion and Mao’s Red China.But in 1957, the Communists tried a new move in establishing the “Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association.” This was an attempt to mimic the hierarchy...

[Catholic Caucus] Left-wing nun downplays evil of abortion during virtual ‘Catholics for Harris’ eventSister Simone Campbell made light of the Church’s teachings while backing the Democrat candidate, saying 'Our Catholic faith doesn't require the outlaw of abortion … it’s about protecting life at all stages. We must trust people's conscience' while apparently equating issues like housing and immigration with killing a pre-born child. Dissident Catholics, including heterodox Sister Simone Campbell, made light of the Church’s teachings on the evil of abortion during the inaugural “Catholics for Harris” virtual meeting this week in order to cast Kamala Harris, who has avoided...

The National Baptist Convention of America (NBCA) is one of the largest black religious organizations in the country, often hosting annual gatherings that draw prominent speakers. This year, Louisiana appeals court judge Sharon Wilson took the stage and delivered, unsurprisingly, an inflammatory and politically charged race-baiting speech. Wilson accused Donald Trump of harboring racist motivations and claimed his criticism of Haitian immigrants stemmed from his supposed anger over the Haitian Revolution—an event over 230 years old. Even I was dumbfounded by the sheer stupidity of that claim. The leap in logic here would be laughable if it weren’t so reckless....

With all of the things impacting our inflation-ridden, more racially divided, and public-school-failing society, Steph Curry’s highest priority is … abortion. Tragically, the NBA All-Star and Olympic champion, spared from the violence of abortion himself, doesn’t believe that millions of others deserve the same opportunity to live out their God-given purpose. Curry, an ardent Democrat supporter and celebrity at DNC conventions, recently told CNBC that he endorses Kamala Harris and that abortion is “at the top of the list for me.”A professing (seemingly cultural) Christian, Curry wasn’t always so vocally pro-abortion. In a 2022 article, Curry told Rolling Stones magazine...

As we look at the 6000 years of human history; we find ourselves in this present day, at the accumulative technological EXPONENTIALLY superabounding depot for EXPONENTIAL population growth, technological advancement (in all sciences and warfare), in global depravity, lawlessness, godlessness, and global demonic oppression (Dan. 12:1-4).

Dear friends, in light of our EXPONENTIALLY imploding society; all that is now left to do is to continue to petition our Heavenly Father for our nation in light of our current dire national situation and dilemma that engulfs our land and media; and to call for a Divine RIGHTEOUS REPENTANCE back to the God of our Founders (Psalm 64, Phil. 4:6-7). Without a sincere Divine RIGHTEOUS REPENTANCE, we are truly done here in America! Without a sincere Divine RIGHTEOUS REPENTANCE, we are truly done here in America! I truly believe Almighty God has now allowed the full EXPONENTIAL weight...

What’s wrong with you people? R.C. Sproul asked this stinging question with the kind of directness that our culture so desperately needs today. While Sproul’s question was rooted in a theological context, it has become an icon in Christian circles for wondering out loud: what in the world is going on? It is an apt expression for our broader society—a society that has lost its grip on reality, morality, and reason. So again, I ask: What’s wrong with you people? Look around you—take a glance at the news. We live in a time where left-wing radicals attempt to assassinate a...

Pope Francis said Chinese Catholics will ‘suffer’ under his deal. They areThe Holy See's secret deal with China is due for renewal in a few weeks. Chinese Catholics are still suffering due to it – just as Pope Francis suggested they would six years ago.As official Congressional reports document China’s continued persecution of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis’ suggestion that Chinese Catholics “will suffer” due to his Sino-Vatican deal appears to remain true.With the Vatican’s secretive deal with China likely to be renewed in the coming weeks, Chinese Catholics have already spent six years living under the terms of the...

Beloved; America, which was founded during the Philadelphia Church Age (from about 1700 to about 1900 – the church of the “open door” – Rev 3:7-13), was established on the bedrock of natural and moral laws and foremost acknowledged the RIGHTEOUS Person of Almighty God at its founding. Beloved, just read the Declaration of Independence, our nation's precious birth certificate, and see for yourself how Almighty God was included! Oh, how the haters love to slander our founding and twist the truth of its inception! In the fullness of time, at the end of world history, some 4000 years after...

Catholic Priests from Fujian Mobilized for “Patriotic Education” in XinjiangA delegation led by Bishop Vincent Zhan Silu, a CCP loyalist, went to the region to “see and believe” that all is well there and to preach “patriotism” to local religionists.The law on “patriotic education,” aimed at promoting the most massive domestic propaganda effort in the 21st century, is in force in China since January 1. On January 4, the five authorized religions issued guidelines on how government-controlled religions and clergy are expected to cooperate in this gigantic enterprise.One region where, understandably, “patriotic education” is not highly successful is Xinjiang (which...
