Anglican Church in North America acting archbishop Julian Dobbs (left) and leader of the Anglican Catholic Reformed Church Bishop Derek Jones (right).The interim head of the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) has filed a defamation suit against the leader of the breakaway Anglican Reformed Catholic Church. Bishop Julian Dobbs, who was appointed acting archbishop of the ACNA in November while Archbishop Steve Wood is under investigation, says accusations he misappropriated $47,862 are false and malicious. Dobbs submitted evidence to the U.S. federal court in Northern Alabama showing the disputed sum is actually $3,750. The money was put into...

We've seen a variety of Democrats make ridiculous remarks since Elon Musk became a trillionaire following the initial public offering (IPO) of his company, SpaceX. They all seemed to think this was the time to talk about how much the government should grab from Elon and/or billionaires to redistribute to those who didn't earn it, and punish success. The Democratic nominee for the Senate from Maine, the scandal-plagued Graham Platner, even said that they should make sure that Musk was the "last trillionaire." California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) said we needed to "democratize the economy." There was Democrat Rep. Ro...

The Episcopal Church headquarters building in Midtown Manhattan. (Photo by Zbig Jedrus Photography) The Episcopal Church, once the spiritual home of America’s founders, presidents and other members of the elite, announced Wednesday that it wants to sell or lease its 12-story New York City headquarters, a sign of the shrinking of mainline Protestantism and institutional religion in the United States as well as the way religious groups are radically reshaping their commercial footprint in the 21st century. The denomination — the U.S. branch of the worldwide Anglican Communion — announced after a meeting of its executive council that the...

The strength to never give up and to continue spreading the message of hope, love, and peace comes from “a deep relationship” with Jesus, the Pope said during this Sunday’s Angelus. This also enables us to face hostility and persecution, just as the early Christians did. On a hot Sunday in Rome, as in other parts of the world, Pope Leo XIX commented during the Angelus on the Gospel (https://www.omnesmag.com/en/resources-2/gospel/sunday-readings-12th-sunday-in-ordinary-time-part-a/) the part of the Mass in which Jesus sends the disciples out on their mission (Mt 10,26-33). the Holy Father said in the Angelus, we should not think of “contemplation”...

"Is it not the rich who oppress you and personally drag you into court? Do they not blaspheme the fair name by which you have been called?" (James 2:6-7). You can’t accomplish God’s purposes by siding with His enemies. Favoritism has a way of blinding its victims to reality. James wrote of Christians who were trying to impress a rich man so they could benefit from his wealth and social status (vv. 2-3). The rich man represented the enemies of Christ, yet they gave him preferential treatment anyway. The poor man represented those whom God chose to be rich in...

Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson taunted Zohran Mamdani over his war on Wall Street — claiming that the Big Apple mayor’s antagonism is accelerating a stampede of businesses down to the booming Texas city. In an exclusive interview with The Post, the Republican mayor of Dallas — the fast-growing metropolis that financiers have branded “Y’all Street” — revealed that the migration of corporate titans out of New York is “only getting stronger” after the first six months of the Mamdani administration. “Mayor Mamdani might be the best thing for Dallas business to ever happen to the city, other than our not...

Daily Readings from the USCCB“Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove that splinter from your eye,’ while the wooden beam is in your eye? You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye.” Matthew 7:3–5It is easy to judge another. A certain satisfaction comes from it; otherwise, one would not engage in such an action. In fact, every sin we commit brings...

John Staddon, professor emeritus of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University, brings unusual precision to a subject that has long been governed more by social convention than by rigorous inquiry in his work, Inevitable Differences: An Inquiry into Human Variation (Academica Press, 2026). His background in experimental psychology and quantitative methods equips him to examine the empirical literature on group differences with a dispassion rarely found in this field. The result is a book that challenges, on both philosophical and empirical grounds, the dominant egalitarian framework shaping contemporary debates on race and inequality.That framework rests substantially on John Rawls, whose...

Socialists claim they haven’t experienced American prosperity. All you have to do is look around. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) wants to confiscate, er, “tax” 50% of the stock of artificial-intelligence companies—the dumbest idea since Karl Marx picked up a pen. Meanwhile, his mind-meld mini-me, millennial Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.), said in 2019 that an entire generation “came of age and never saw American prosperity,” and then whined, “I have never seen that, or experienced it, really, in my adult life.” Really? She must be distracted with only five years to go on her climate-mongering, “world is gonna end”...

There has long been a worry that Russian escalation or miscalculation might see the Ukraine war widen into a broader European one. But what if it’s Kyiv, not Moscow, that starts this process? The flashpoint is Belarus. Minsk’s dictatorial leader, Alexander Lukashenko, is beholden to Vladimir Putin, but not a helpless vassal. On the one hand, he has refused to join Putin’s war directly, saying that he won’t allow Belarusians to become ‘mincemeat.’ On the other, he has been willing to let Russian troops use facilities in his country, and fly drones and missiles through his airspace. There is growing...

Family estrangement is becoming more common, but it carries long-term emotional costs for everyone involved.“All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” That’s the opening line in Leo Tolstoy’s “Anna Karenina.” It’s an eye-catcher, but one wonders if he’d write those words if he were living in 21st-century America. Distinctions marking unhappy families may still apply, but more and more of those families share one thing in common: Estrangement. This phenomenon—siblings breaking all contact with siblings, adult children turning their backs on parents and grandparents, or vice versa—is growing, and growing fast. A 2025...

Polish President Karol Nawrocki has announced that he is stripping his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy of the Order of the White Eagle, Poland's highest state honour. Nawrocki made the decision in response to Ukraine naming a military unit after the controversial World War Two Ukrainian Insurgent Army. In a video posted on X on Friday evening, Nawrocki stressed that the decision to withdraw the honour "is not directed against the Ukrainian nation" and "does not signify a change in the strategic direction of Poland’s security policy". He also underlined that Poland’s support for Ukraine in its war with Russia remains...
