Robinson's aggressiveness divides, becomes issue

Wednesday, August 04, 2004 A New Location for the Ancient Gregorian Mass? It seems so. Archbishop Burke, the ordinary of the Archdiocese of St. Louis, recently visited the seminary of the traditional Institute of Christ the King at Gricigliano outside Florence in Italy. Among the photographs of his visit appearing on the I.C.R. website is this one whose caption reads: "Mgr Gilles Wach, prieur Général de l'Institut félicite S.E. Mgr L. Burke pour sa nomination à Saint-Louis et le remercie pour l'église, dédiée à St François de Sales, qu'il nous a confiée." So it would appear - on the basis...

Wrapped in their own version of cognitive dissonance, the liberal national media will not ask any tough questions of the Kerry campaign. So, I guess I'll have to get totally politically incorrect for a moment and ask a question many people are starting to wonder about: If John Kerry announced tomorrow that he intended to switch to the Socialist or Communist party, how would his platform change? Really, that's not as nasty of a question as it may seem when we study the cold hard facts. After all, let's face it, not only does it look as if the Democratic...

Father Gerald Goesche is a spiritual volcano. But one senses in him, not the sparks and fire of someone angry, bitter, judgmental, but the warmth and fervor of someone on fire with the love of God and his fellow man. To attend one of Goesche’s Masses, and then to spend time with him to discuss the faith and the situation of the Church and world today, is to spend time with a man who seems literally ablaze with the love of Jesus Christ. His face shines with joy as he celebrates Mass and preaches his homily, his arms swing through...

Got Brain? By Donnel Jones, April 20, 2004 Home   Search   Forum   Terms The New York Times hits a new low with coverage of an "experiment" that seeks to determine the activity of a person's brain and how that correlates to their being a Democrat or Republican. Science meets pseudo-science. We might as well have Dr. Mengele use his medical training to ascertain the essence of "Jewishness" using various "technologies." Of course, the researchers here are not sadistic half-man who torture children. Rather, they are wasting their patron's money (who is financing this nonsense, anyway?) with technologies that have proved invaluable in medical...

How To Win Minimum Wage Argument March 3, 2004 BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Fifteen years of service to humanity behind the Golden EIB Microphone, and yet these issues keep coming up. They keep needing to be explained, because there are people that keep tuning in, not just on this program, but getting interested in these issues, who instinctively, because they're very compassionate, think instinctively, raising the minimum wage, why, who's opposed to that? Why would anybody be opposed to raising the minimum wage? Why, you can't even live on it, why not raise it? And that's why it's an easy sell,...

<p>A new report by the Economic Policy Institute, a left-wing, union-oriented Washington think tank, is designed to put heat on the Bush administration but in reality sheds a disturbing light on the group's own political agenda.</p> <p>"In 48 of the 50 states, jobs in higher-paying industries have given way to jobs in lower-paying industries since the recession ended in ... 2001," according to the report. "Nationwide, industries that are gaining jobs relative to industries that are losing jobs pay 21 percent less annually." In California, newly created jobs pay 40 percent less than the jobs that are leaving.</p>

Portrait of a WahhabiBy Stephen Schwartz FrontPageMagazine.com | June 30, 2003 On Thursday, June 26, I testified before the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology and Homeland Security, chaired by Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz).  My topic was “Wahhabism and Islam in the U.S.”  I outlined the outrageous degree to which Saudi-funded Wahhabi extremists, who are supporters of terrorism, have come to dominate Islam in the U.S. My testimony was not greeted with enthusiasm by James Zogby, the phony civil rights leader who heads the “Arab American Institute." Zogby, a Lebanese Christian once known for his moderate camouflage on Israel, but...

LAW OF THE LAND Planned Parenthood ends 'unholy alliance' Pro-lifers' lawsuit forces split with public library system Posted: May 19, 20031:00 a.m. Eastern © 2003 WorldNetDaily.com A lawsuit has forced a Planned Parenthood branch to sever its special arrangement with a public library.

Oppose the Islamists by Supporting the Nomination of Daniel PipesBy Andrew L. Jaffee, 4/24/2003 ACT NOW! - SUPPORT THE PIPES APPOINTMENT In a recent interview Daniel Pipes described Islamism as: a modern, 20th century ideology, arising at roughly the same time as fascism and Marxist-Leninism. It is attractive to a small percentage of Muslims. It is a mechanism, a blueprint, for taking over governments and running societies. It is something very different from Islam. He added: And, by the way, the first victims of militant Islam, or Islamism, are Muslims themselves. We can join together, Muslim and non-Muslim, to...

For those of you who have followed the "war on terror" and peripheral events related to it, you have heard of Professor Daniel Pipes, the director of the Middle East Forum. He, along with Steve Emerson, have been on the point of the spear in the national and intellectual debate and forum in aiding the Bush Administration in forming foreign policy on how to respond to Islamic terrorism. President Bush recently nominated Professor Pipes to the US Institute of Peace. Already, Islamic extremist organizations based here in the US, which ostensibly "defend" Muslim rights but are being found out one...

VATICAN CITY (AP) _ The Vatican said Thursday it was closing its center for Jewish studies in Jerusalem and moving it to Rome _ a move that has been criticized by some Jewish teachers as sending a negative signal about relations between Christians and Jews. The Vatican said it was incorporating the Pontifical Ratisbonne Institute into its Gregorian University in Rome for financial and other reasons, including giving it greater visibility and improving academic quality so that its degrees are recognized elsewhere. ``Beyond serious academic concerns, severe, intractable and increasing financial problems of several years' standing necessitate a change of...
