ITE MISSA EST: How modernizing the Church gave rise to ChristophobiaThere can be no dispute that the mission of the Church is to glorify God, to seek the Salvation of souls, to serve the poor, and to Evangelize – to spread the good news of the Gospel to all corners of the World: to build the Kingdom of Christ on earth. But among the chief duties of the Catholic Church is to hold the powerful in society to their duty to the welfare of the citizenry, to protect those human rights which derive from Divine Law, and to demand that...

Traditional and iconic American brands have been doing some pretty bizarre and self destructive things that make no sense , lately.

Here's how it and Net Zero all time together.

Olympic bosses dramatically doubled down on their decision to allow two boxers who failed a gender test to compete in Paris - after the opponent of one withdrew from their bout in tears after just 46 seconds.

White America has long sought to define racial categories — and who can belong to them.

Sometimes you have to go with your gut instincts, and I wish I'd stuck with mine yesterday. Wednesday morning it was my happy duty to report on the assassination of Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Iran, the night before. "My first thought was that a Mossad assassination team had snuck in, done some dirty work that needed doing, and then snuck back out," is what my gut assured me had happened. But then reports came in that Haniyeh had been killed in a precision airstrike. But no. "Never trust first reports." I'm going to write that on a...

Vice President Harris has reversed her 2019 campaign position on fracking, signaling a move to the center on the issue. The rightward shift comes as she tries to court swing voters in states like Pennsylvania. “Fracking is a central part, a foundational part, a significant portion of Pennsylvania’s economy. The economic argument is going to be extremely significant nationally, and in the States, it’s the top issue on voters’ minds,” said Jon Reinish, a national Democratic strategist. Others disagreed, saying they don’t believe her stance on fracking will have major implications for the race. Her path to victory in key...

Green Day went beyond the lyrics of its songs to send a message earlier this week. The legendary punk rockers who’s music is the soundtrack to many children of the '90s played a concert in Washington, D.C. Monday night at Nationals Park. Normally the home of MLB’s Washington Nationals, it became the setting of a political statement from the group’s lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong. Green Day’s longtime front man held up a rubber Halloween mask of former president and second-term hopeful Donald Trump at the show to reveal the word “idiot” written across the forehead. The moment was captured...
