Cardinal Gerhard Muller: ‘True Reform of the Church Is About Her Renewal in Christ’ In a wide-ranging interview that discusses the Pan-Amazon synod and the Church in his home country of Germany, the cardinal says Western Christianity is experiencing a crisis of faith and spiritual leadership. The thinking behind the much-debated working document for the Synod of Bishops for the Pan-Amazon Region is a “projection” of European theological thought not in accord with Catholic theology and needs to be corrected “in a more Catholic way,” Cardinal Gerhard Müller has said. In comments to the Register to be broadcast on EWTN...

Kassandra saw the news on social media. Her immediate reaction was to call her father. "I told him to be careful out there," she said. They were talking about what has been called the "family op," according to The Washington Post: an Immigration and Customs Enforcement plan to conduct a mass roundup of migrant families that have received deportation orders. Federal agents originally planned to target at least 10 cities, including Houston, where Kassandra lives.

Paris's deputy mayor has revealed the city is working to stop tourist buses causing "total anarchy" in the city. Emmanuel Gregoire said the town hall is working on regulations to limit bus traffic, and would introduce parking areas outside the city. "Buses are no longer welcome in the very heart of the city," said Gregoire. The deputy mayor spoke of the measure as part of a number of initiatives designed to mitigate the impact of overtourism in the French capital. While the problem has not reached the levels of Venice or Barcelona, Gregoire believes that Parisians are wary of issues...

It’s a sad existence when you can’t even let go of political divides on a holiday like the Fourth of July. For many leftists suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome though, holidays usually only crank the political divisiveness up to 11. “Avengers” director and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” creator Joss Whedon took to Twitter on America’s Independence Day and decided to do what Hollywood celebrities typically do best when it comes to politics — spread fear and misinformation. “We have a racist, fascist president who’s using armed thugs in law enforcement & illegal militias to keep us cowed & hopeless &...

With protests moving into summer, summer in France of course is a time for vacations and disruption of normal routines. As we look into the numbers coming in from the protests Saturday July 6th we may have to take that into consideration. Meanwhile, there's an investigation by the inspector general of France's National Police into the death of an elderly man in his 80's, Zineb Redouane, near the scene of a Yellow Vests protest last December. There's already visual evidence of CRS riot police firing tear gas at the building in which he lived and of Redouane shuttering his window...

Guess what happened today, folks. I woke up and found out that President Trump didn’t take over the country via a military coup. I was astonished because everyone was telling me that this was a prelude to a coup. Anyone with a scintilla of cognitive function knows this was straight trash, but the media has their marching orders from the Democratic Party: ‘Orange man…bad.’ There could have been zero tanks; the media still would’ve criticized Trump. Why? Because he’s president and that loser Hillary Clinton is not. She will never be president. They still have yet to get that through...

“Excuses, Excuses, Excuses!” (Luke 14:15-24; Isaiah 66:10-14) Recently I read this quote from an observer of the American church scene: “15 years ago, 40% of church members attended four times a month. In 2018, only 10% attended four times a month, a 37% drop in worship attendance. So you could have the exact same membership church, and on Sunday mornings it looks like you’ve lost over a third of your members.” Now a certain amount of this can be attributed to aging. There are people still on membership rosters, but now they are homebound and no longer able to make...

SEATTLE -- The double-deck Alaskan Way Viaduct spells disaster in the event of a massive earthquake in Seattle. It's a warning that played out in real life in Oakland, Calif., 30 years ago. The Cyprus Street Viaduct Collapse killed 42 people during the Loma Prieta Earthquake. The stark similarities between that and our own viaduct in Seattle had experts sounding the alarm back then. Then in 2001, the Nisqually Earthquake hit at a 6.8 magnitude. "In 2001, during the Nisqually quake, the Alaskan Way Viaduct was damaged on the north end of the Alaskan Way Viaduct," said tunnel expert Red...

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome, referred to America's birthday this week as "swamp day." In Washington, DC, Trump celebrated Swamp Day by: 1.) Making July 4th an ode to himself; 2.) Diverting $2.5 million in Park funds to pay for it; 3) Taking $750,000 in fireworks from a donor; and 4) Postponing tariffs on China the same day, as the donor wanted.

Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger celebrated when the California Transportation Commission voted, despite a host of warnings, to pay a contractor more than $1 billion to build two tunnels and a stretch of road outside San Francisco nine years ago. Schwarzenegger said the project’s new approach, which aimed to cap public expenses and shift responsibility to the private sector, would serve as a “shining example” of an innovative way to improve the state’s highways while saving taxpayer dollars. Now the project, known as the Presidio Parkway, is more than two years late and $208 million over budget. When the commission approved...

Cortez and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich engaged in a put-down battle over her recent visit to the US-Mexico border. “Profoundly vicious, cruel and dishonest,” Gingrich said of the freshman Dem from NYC in a Fox News op-ed. “When you despise American values … lying is perfectly natural.” “Ah yes, now Newt & the GOP are resorting to calling me a liar,” AOC tweeted Friday. “I’ll take it as a compliment. Thanks,” she wrote, pointing to climate scientists and #MeToo survivors who, she said, Republicans have also accused of lying.

PROVINCETOWN, Mass. — Presidential hopeful and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg — who has made history as the first openly gay presidential candidate — hosted a town hall-style meeting and attended a private fundraiser in Provincetown, Mass., known as one of the gayest ZIP codes in America. And the importance of the moment was not lost on the many LGBTQ fans who showed up to give him a hero’s welcome. “In my lifetime — as someone in his 50s who came out at 18 — I never thought I’d see a viable, openly gay presidential candidate,” Jay Coburn, who...

A public interest advocacy group has identified the country’s “most wasteful and pointless” transportation projects, which are costing taxpayers $25 billion. The U.S. Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) cites among “the biggest boondoggles” a $2.2 billion widening of Interstate 81 in Virginia, a $7 billion interstate project in Houston and a $802 million “Connecting Miami” redesign of city highways. According to PIRG, widening highways to reduce gridlock fails for several reasons. Multiple studies show that more road space over time leads to further congestion because of a phenomenon called “induced demand.” “We’re stuck in a car-centric rut in the United...
