Fr. Jesusmary is permitted to say Mass privately on the condition that he refrains from writing criticism of the Roman pontiff.(LifeSiteNews) – In a June 4 audience with Cardinal Marc Ouellet, Pope Francis approved the sanctions first laid by Opus Dei upon Father Jesusmary (the pen name of Abbé Janvier Gbénou) for publicly rebuking Pope Francis in response to some of his controversial statements and beliefs. The African priest is now barred from any active ministry, including celebrating the Sacrifice of the Mass in public. He is permitted to say Mass privately on the condition that he refrains from writing...

At the White House Thursday afternoon President Joe Biden awarded Megan Rapinoe, the co-captain of the U.S. national women’s soccer team, the Medal of Freedom. During remarks, he praised her as one of the greatest athletes of all-time. While there's no doubt Rapinoe is one of the best female athletes in the world, she also hates the United States of America. She has repeatedly stood on foreign soil while refusing to participate in the National Anthem before games -- all while representing Team USA. Starting in 2016 and in solidarity with former NFL player Colin Kapernik, Rapinoe stopped saying the...

There are efforts to reduce invasive fish populations on Twin Cities lakes by a process called "electro-shock." "We were catching them by the buckets. Five-gallon buckets. We couldn't even count them there were so many," said Jordan Wein of WSB. Last year, it was open season on goldfish at lakes in Chaska and Robbinsdale. The former pets had been released into the water, where they multiplied and squeezed out native fish. This summer WSB is going after another invasive species -- carp. The engineering company is trolling across Normandale Lake in Bloomington, using their electro-fishing boat to stun the fish...

A coffee shop in Philadelphia known for its LGBTQ brand identity closed its doors after employees revolted against the owners and demanded that they “redistribute” the company. Mina’s World, located in the neighborhood of West Philadelphia, was characterized by Bon Appetit as a business that doubled as a “hangout spot for people of marginalized identities.” Sonam Parikh, who ran the company alongside partner and co-owner Kate Egghart, told the outlet that Mina’s World was the city’s first coffee shop owned and operated by queer, trans people of color (“QTPOC”). The pair had named the company after their cat. Parikh blasted...

A research paper from Ahn Seong-im discusses weddings from a Catholic, ecological, and spiritual perspective A research paper inspired by Pope Francis’ landmark environmental encyclical, Laudato Si, highlighting the merits of "eco-weddings" has received an enthusiastic response from Catholics and environmental activists in South Korea. Helena Ahn Seong-im, 47, a Catholic and a wedding consultant based in the capital Seoul, presented her master's thesis titled "A Proposal for Eco-Spiritual Eco-Weddings" at the Graduate School of Cultural Spirituality, Catholic University of Korea last month, the Catholic Times of Korea reported. The paper, for the first time in Korea, discussed eco-weddings from...

The ideological takeover of my university has ruined academic life for anyone who still believes in freedom of thought. I’m a 62-year-old professor—by academic standards, still young. But I am retiring this summer because the woke takeover of higher education has ruined academic life. “Another one?” you ask. “What does this guy have to say that hasn’t already been said by Jordan Peterson, Peter Boghossian, Joshua Katz, or Bo Winegard?

The European Parliament voted 324-155, with 38 abstentions, to condemn the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade and demand that abortion rights be enshrined in the EU’s fundamental rights charter. Why it matters: The Supreme Court's decision last month to end federal protections for abortion was widely denounced by world leaders and human rights organizations. -In the wake of the ruling, lawmakers in Israel and France have taken steps to shore up their domestic protections for abortion. The big picture: In the resolution, European MEPs expressed their solidarity with American women and girls and called for the U.S....

Following Wednesday’s news that millions of barrels of oil released from America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserves were shipped overseas to China, India, and Europe, it has been revealed that nearly one million barrels of oil were sent to a Chinese energy company in which President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, had a stake as recently as 2015. On Wednesday, Reuters revealed that more than five million barrels of crude oil that were expected to be put into use in the US to bring down skyrocketing prices at the pump were instead sent to European nations, India, as well as China. In...

How can you tell when an organization knows the end is near? They start shredding documents and deleting files. It’s a movie trope that is being played out in real-time right now on Capitol Hill as powerful Democrat Congressman Adam Schiff has just filed an Amendment to the NDAA that will coverup their failures, corruption, and wrongdoing ahead of the midterm elections. It’s arguably the most blatant abuse of power we’ve seen from Congress in years, which is saying a whole lot in an age of J6 inquisitions and unwarranted presidential impeachments. The amendment reads: Notwithstanding any other provision of...

It's high time people start turning out against the Cheney establishment, at the grass roots level. Even if you don't live in Wyoming, you can participate, thanks to this "Boot Cheney" starter pack! Print it out, slap it on your vehicle, or anywhere that gets lots of eyeballs. Even though Cheney looks like she's going down, we can't be lazy. We have to show our displeasure in a very visible way, as much as we can. Here's the FULL COLLECTION...... and some samples to get you started ...

A GOP unwilling to admit that can’t save America. The media is trying to mau-mau Republicans into a selective and unprincipled originalism, and it appears to be working. After the collapse of Roe v. Wade, many Republican pols signaled that they had no interest in overturning other nakedly unconstitutional rulings, such as Obergefell v. Hodges. Never mind that that ruling, which imposed a wholly invented “constitutional” right to gay marriage on all 50 states, was as much an attack on democracy as the Roe ruling. “I write separately to call attention to this Court’s threat to American democracy,” Justice Antonin...

"So even though Gay Pride month is over, pedophiles, lusting over children never ceases." “Even Joe Biden lies about it. He did this again over the weekend. He says ‘Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law takes effect today – and he puts don’t say gay in quotes, folks, it doesn’t exist. They cannot point to you anywhere in the legislation where it says ‘Don’t Say Gay’ because it doesn’t exist. This is the President saying there’s a bill in Florida that doesn’t exist. The ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill literally doesn’t exist. There’s never been anything or any text that says ‘Don’t...

The eyebrow-raising comments were published Thursday in China's government-run newspaper, People's Daily. Taiwan Affairs Office lead Liu Jieyi expressed expectations for China to reclaim Taiwan in the near future due to "growing comprehensive strength" on the part of the Chinese. "Our growing comprehensive strength and significant institutional advantages continue to be transformed into efficiency in work related to Taiwan issues and push forward the process of national reunification," Liu said, according to a translation by South China Morning Post.

(The Center Square) – President Joe Biden on Wednesday touted a federal program to delay insolvency for private unions’ pension funds, but critics say taxpayer dollars should not be used to “bail out” pensions negotiated by unions. Biden spoke in Cleveland, Ohio, about the American Rescue Plan’s Special Financial Assistance program, which will protect more than 10 million Americans in multi-employer plans from seeing their benefits slashed when their plan becomes insolvent, which many are projected to do in the next few years. Biden called the plan "historic." “This was $90 billion, O.K.?” Biden said in his remarks. "But it...
