[Catholic Caucus] Rip Down the Pride FlagTwenty years ago few could have imagined that the last stronghold of truth, the Catholic Church, would have fallen to the LGBT lie of "Love is Love."Many years ago, I decided to attend daily Mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. Each morning on my way to Mass, I would drive past a house that flew the flag representing pride in all the different sexual identities that fell under the LGBTQ (this was pre-IA+ times) banner. I didn’t take much notice of it at the time,...

[Catholic Caucus] As a priest, Pope Leo XIV opposed the Western media’s pro-LGBT lies and promoted truthPope Leo XIV has understood what Pope Francis did not: it is precisely the hard teachings of the Gospel that draw people to salvation through Jesus Christ.While there are only a few recorded examples of Pope Leo XIV’s history with LGBTQ issues, his statements stand in stark contrast with those of his predecessor, Pope Francis, who early in his pontificate wondered aloud, “If a person is gay … who am I to judge?” He later allegedly told a young man, “God made you gay.”At...

[Catholic Caucus] Father James Martin and the Tired Leftism of the JesuitsFather James Martin, Society of Jesus, is at it again.Martin, the Jesuit priest who has spent his entire life advocating for left-wing causes, is all over social media preaching that Jesus, Mary, and Joseph were refugees and therefore, good Christians should oppose President Trump’s efforts to stop illegal immigration into the United States.What Father Martin does not wrestle with is the concept of evil. Jose Ibarra, a 26-year-old illegal immigrant from Venezuela, murdered a young woman named Laken Riley during a 20-minute struggle. Ibarra was convicted on a total...

[Catholic Caucus] Joe Hosts a HereticPresident Biden hosted a cadre of heretics at his St. Patrick's Day party, including Fr. James Martin.Joe Biden is a heretic who eats and drinks his own spiritual death every time he unworthily takes Communion, which is all the time.

St. Patrick chased the snakes out of Ireland, and here was Old Joe allowing them to slither into the White House. Joe Biden is a heretic who eats and drinks his...
