[Catholic Caucus] Doctor Edmund Mazza: Here’s why I believe the Bergoglian pontificate is invalidIf Benedict believed he could resign administrative duties, but nevertheless, remain papal, then according to the canonists his resignation was invalid. Thus, the conclave that elected Francis would likewise be invalid.Joseph Ratzinger’s 2013 resignation led to a situation entirely unprecedented in the history of the Church. For virtually the next decade in Vatican City, two men wore the signature white papal cassock, two men bestowed apostolic blessings on the faithful, and two men were formally addressed as “His Holiness.” Surely this inspires the question over whether there...

White House climate adviser John Podesta on Monday sought to reassure the world that the U.S. would move forward on combating climate change despite the election of President-elect Trump, who has long cast doubt on the science behind the issue. “While the United States federal government under Donald Trump may put climate action on the back burner, the work to contain climate change is going to continue in the United States with commitment and passion and belief,” Podesta said during a press conference at the COP 29 climate summit in Baku, Azerbaijan. “Here at COP 29 and moving forward, the...

The Army deployed 65 infantry divisions for the Second World War. Each was a small town with its own equivalents for community services plus eight categories of combat arms.

Except for the Purple Heart and the coveted Combat Infantryman’s Badge, recognition often eluded them because, so few came through to testify to the valor of the many. These civilians become warriors confronted the most dismal fate of all whose duty was...

President-elect Trump’s promise to let Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “go wild” on health is demoralizing public health experts, who worry he could meddle with key government agencies, amplify vaccine hesitancy and direct agency funding to favor his preferred views.Those include removing fluoride from public water, promoting a wide variety of unorthodox and unproven treatments and pushing a deep skepticism of pharmaceutical companies and the agencies overseeing them.But with Trump’s victory, Kennedy could soon be in charge of those same agencies. “FDA’s war on public health is about to end,” Kennedy wrote on social media shortly before the election, referring to...

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said on Monday that President elect-Trump “and his transition team are already breaking” a law on presidential transition. “Donald Trump and his transition team are already breaking the law,” Warren said in a post on the social platform X. “I would know because I wrote the law.

Mr. Trump won the White House not only because he turned out his...

Democrats appear confused about why Trump won reelection in a landslide and moved 48 states to the right in the process. The far left argues the party did not move far enough left, while establishment Democrats argue the push for far-left policies failed to attract voters. One far-left House Democrat told Axios that “some real responsibility to be taken” by leadership in the establishment. “Just acting like we’re in a pep rally, saying, ‘You all did a good job. … I think it’s *&**^&^&. Let’s acknowledge...
