[Catholic Caucus] Pope Francis: ‘I like to think of an empty hell’Pope Francis said that although 'it's not dogma,' he likes to think hell is 'empty.' Our Lord Jesus Christ and Our Lady of Fatima very clearly attest to the reality of hell, where the devil, his angels, and 'many' souls have gone.In a Sunday interview on Italian television, Pope Francis said that he likes to think hell is empty. The statement reflects what Francis has said in numerous interviews previously on the subject, with famous atheist author Eugenio Scalfari in the left-wing newspaper La Repubblica.In March 2015 Scalfari asked...

Is there a Satan? Is there Hell? Is man’s inhumanity toward his fellow man, just part of his “animal nature”? Or is there something greater? Is there a higher power and a lower power that are battling each other? It says in the Bible that our fight is not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Man’s inhumanity to his fellow man started when Cain murdered his brother Abel and the hatred and murder have not ceased. You would think...

Some say the road to Hel is paved with good intentions — but the bus that gets you there certainly isn’t. That’s according to some conservative Christian groups, who say the “666” bus to Hel, Poland, has devilish intentions since its route number represents Satan and it goes to a place that sounds like “hell.” The local bus operator PKS Gdynia has responded to the complaints by announcing its decision to change the route number from 666 to 669. “This year we are turning the last 6 upside down!” the local bus company wrote on social media Monday. […] While...

Marxism, Progressivism, Leftism, Socialism, and Transhumanism are utopian ideological elements of Satan’s world system. Among utopianism’s most enduring modern myths are man as ape, the product of void, matter, and evolution; chosen apes will evolve into gods; and the self-refuting notion that apes of evolution are born good despite being instinct-driven apes of the void (nothingness) and its evolutionary energy supposedly working on matter.

Time for Bergoglio to scandalize the Church and the world once again.The Vatican’s New Age Freelancer in Chief chooses Lent and his 10th papal anniversary (10 years of our own Bergoglian hell) to announce to the world that Hell is not a place but a “state of the heart and a “posture in life.” What in the hell!In another full throated effort to destroy the teachings of the Catholic Church, Bergoglio, the humble and merciful one, boasts that “Hell is not a place— If one goes to attend the Last...

Lame duck Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot got a tongue-lashing at a raucous city council meeting Wednesday, with a longtime critic telling the controversial pol to “get the hell out of my city.” Journalist William Kelly, a frequent adversary of Lightfoot, berated the outgoing mayor for her botched leadership, including her response to the COVID-19 pandemic, during a public comment portion of the meeting. “You shut down our schools, you shut down the churches, you shut down the businesses,” Kelly railed, according to a video posted by Forbes. “You did the one thing that I thought could never happen,” he said....

KYIV, Ukraine ― The crowd at G-Versace Club ― mainly queer men, but also a sizable proportion of young women ― went as wild for every performer as the audience might at a Beyoncé or BTS concert. The Feb. 11 show opened with “the Go-Go GIANNI Boys,” a troupe of scantily clad, svelte men who danced choreographed numbers. Then, six drag queens with names like Gina Smile or Alcodiva took to the small stage, lip-syncing to both Ukrainian and international hits. While all were eager to forget the war for a few hours, it wasn’t ignored, either. Toward the end...

A lack of so-called ‘scientific evidence’ in the existence of the personal God Who spoke is not the true reason why godless Westerners reject belief in Him. Their rejection is due to a desire to live free of the moral constraints God requires. (Psalm 14:1):

Moderna said Thursday that its cost of sales jumped nearly a billion dollars to $1.9 billion in the final quarter of 2022. That included a $400-million “catch-up” payment to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for a new agreement on future royalty sales of the COVID-19 vaccine. In the U.S., COVID-19 vaccines will be sold commercially for the first time later this year when the federal government stops buying the shots.

From the time of Cain, violence has been perpetrated by proud, truth-hating, self-centered individuals and organized groups as a way of attaining their selfish objectives. In our own age individuals such as Alinsky and his disciples, and organized groups such as Globalists, Democrats, LGBTQ+, BLM, and antifa are just a few examples of proud, truth-hating, violence prone, individuals and organized groups.

Stephen Colbert once again roasted House Republicans on Wednesday’s “The Late Show” for their ongoing inability to elect a Speaker of the House now for two whole days. But the host went a bit deeper and more pointed than usual during his ribbing, taking an amusing couple of seconds to imagine what it might be like for Republican hero Ronald Reagan in Hell. On Wednesday House Republicans failed, for the second day in a row, to elect a Speaker of the House. Leading Candidate Kevin McCarthy is bitterly opposed by the extremist “Freedom Caucus” of Trump supporters, who have been...
