The decree approving the "Fundamentals of State Policy for Preserving and Strengthening Russia's Traditional Spiritual and Moral Values," which introduces a mechanism of moral censorship, should be signed in the near future - this is a matter of national security. The idea was supported by a number of political and public figures, from Peter Tolstoy, deputy speaker of the State Duma, to film director Nikita Mikhalkov, at a public convention in Moscow's Balchug Hotel. Against the backdrop of an open information war with the West and a special operation in Ukraine, the sabotage of a healthy initiative of the country's...

ROME — Pope Francis said Thursday he worries about the day there are not enough priests, proposing the formation of laypeople as the remedy. Addressing a delegation from the Order of Augustinian Recollects in the Vatican, the pontiff commented on their falling numbers of vocations, urging them to entrust their charism to the laity. From eight provinces of Augustinian Recollects there are now four, the pope noted, meaning that “in terms of numbers, we are going downhill. And this is a reality that we cannot ignore.” “There are thousands of explanations,” he continued: “That young people today do not see...

Russia demanded that Ukrainians in the besieged city of Mariupol lay down their arms Monday in exchange for safe passage out of town, but Ukraine rejected the offer. Russian Col. Gen. Mikhail Mizintsev said it would allow two corridors out of the coastal city, heading either east toward Russia or west to other parts of Ukraine. Mariupol residents were given until 5 a.m. Monday to respond to the offer, which included them raising white flags. Russia didn’t say what action it would take if the offer was rejected. But Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Irina Vereshchuk said no. “There can be...

One of the reasons Hitler's military success was so short lived was because he took on too many enemies. If he had not attacked Russia, his brand of evil would have been much harder to beat in Western Europe. If The West thinks it is invincible and can keep the peace everywhere and win wars, then the West is hastening its decline instead of preserving what its got. Putin is leading a rechristianising Russia. The Muslim countries where Western treasure and lives have been wasted in unwinnable wars, are profoundly devoted to their way of worshipping God. The PRC is...

The execution is ostensibly a “revenge" killing for a death that occurred decades ago. The group killed the Christians and danced over their bodies. Upon returning to their village, they were greeted by songs, celebrations and cries of “Allah Akbar”. The three brothers who were killed had nothing to do with past events.Cairo (AsiaNews) – Three Christian Coptic brothers were brutally killed by a group of six Muslims, who allegedly acted in revenge to “cleanse” the blood of a relative who died about 70 years ago. At the time of the attack, 1 March, the victims – Youssef Youssef Youssef,...

Cupich: Mum's the wordTranscriptA Chicago priest famous for his flamboyant liturgical style and leftist activism is openly endorsing a pro-abortion candidate for the Illinois House. Church Militant's Martina Moyski explains that even though the priest's public support flies in the face of Catholic teaching, the chancery keeps silent. Fr. Michael Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina's parish on Chicago's south side, is backing state senator Jacqueline Collins for the 1st Congressional District. Collins is a run-of-the-mill, radical Dem with connections to Jesse Jackson's pro-LGBT Rainbow Push program and a long history of voting pro-abortion. Anonymous Priest: "And for Pfleger to endorse...

Nowruz, the Persian New Year, is celebrated by multiple Middle Eastern groups. In a statement from his office, Newsom said that California’s Iranian community contributes to the foundation of cultures throughout the state.

The modern GOP is now willing to empower and reward a rapist and his family if it means they can control a woman’s body, end abortion rights, and implement minority rule for white Christian men.

[Catholic Caucus] A Message to “Cancelled” Priests by Archbishop Héctor Aguer To “Cancelled” PriestsArchbishop Héctor AguerI am told that this is how they are referred to, with the horrendous adjective that I print as the title of this quasi-letter. In good Spanish, to cancel means “to annul,” “to erase from memory,” “to abolish,” “to repeal.” Honestly, I had never heard that this would happen until now. I venture, then, an interpretation.General Juan Domingo Perón, three times president of Argentina, coined a formula that expresses not only what he himself practiced, with a cynicism difficult to match, during his accidental...

The LAPD said a driver of a rented 2018 Tesla S-BLM performed a dangerous stunt near the intersection of Baxter and Alvarado streets around 12:10 a.m. The video shows the Tesla headed toward an intersection at a high rate of speed when it suddenly catches air and then comes down hard on its front wheels. The vehicle then crashed into several trash cans and two parked cars, the LAPD said. The driver of the Tesla abandoned the car and fled the scene.

You know that moment in every Bond movie where the supervillain is confident that Bond is about to meet his end, and starts explaining the genius of his evil plan? It’s the kind of scene that’s become a spy movie trope. The super-villain is confident that there is now nobody and nothing standing in the way of his evil plot taking shape, so that overconfidence causes him to start bragging about it. He’s often got some kind of sinister-sounding voice made more exotic by having a heavy foreign accent, most likely from one of the Warsaw Pact nations of the...

resident Joe Biden and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg were roundly mocked by conservatives last week for suggesting that working-class Americans struggling to pay the ever-climbing prices at the pump should consider simply buying an electric vehicle instead. It was the Biden-era equivalent of Marie Antoinette’s (admittedly apocryphal) adage, “Let them eat cake.” Yet this simple solution floated by Democrat elites might just be even more fantastical than expecting average Americans to be in the financial position to switch to an EV as they struggle to afford groceries. Turns out, the U.S. doesn’t only rely on Russia for oil imports —...

President Biden was photographed biking at Gordons Pond State Park in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, on Sunday as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned of a potential "third world war." Biden has faced criticism before for retreating to his home in Delaware as geopolitical tensions continue to rise amid the Russian onslaught against Ukraine.

Virtually all Americans believed, until the inauguration of Donald Trump as president on January 20, 2017, that when someone became president, he could begin to implement his agenda. Certainly Old Joe Biden’s handlers have done so with a vengeance since they took over; but when Trump became president, he immediately began to encounter resistance from entrenched members of the government bureaucracy who refused to do as he ordered. Some worked actively against Trump, while the establishment media assured us that these self-appointed “deep state” saboteurs were the courageous guardians of “our democracy.” At his South Carolina rally Saturday night, Trump...

Ukraine rejects Russia’s demand to surrender the besieged city of Mariupol. Ukraine’s deputy prime minister, Iryna Vereshchuk, tells Russia that Ukraine will not surrender the city. “There can be no talk about surrender and laying down weapons,” she says. “We have already informed the Russian side about this,” she says.

Dominion voting machines were used across the country in various states and counties. Yet, since the 2020 Election, not one single independent, objective and complete audit of the Dominino machines used in the 2020 Election has taken place. Dominion voting machines were used across the country in the 2020 election, not in all states but in many. But these machines have not been completely audited by independent and objective experts at any location since the 2020 Election. We reported today that in the small audit of the county in New Mexico, the state is threatening the county with having to...
