I share with you a letter I wrote to friends in 1999, on the day of my wife's naturalization ceremony Vice President Mike Pence paid tribute to 16 new Americans from 12 different nations Thursday at a naturalization ceremony in Washington. Ken Cuccinelli, acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, gave the oath. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited, and “The Star-Spangled Banner” was sung. No one thought for a moment of taking a knee. On the contrary, the new citizens who immigrated here from a variety of countries – including Turkey, Ethiopia and El Salvador – were all...

Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded. But ye have set at nought all my counsel,...

The Progressive believes in precisely two things: his own magnificence and the constructive power of brute force. In combination, they lead him naturally from the role of pestiferous busybody to brutal dictator. Where the productive man dreams of the things he might create if only left alone by his fellows, the Progressive dreams of the world he could create if only the lives and property of his fellows were at his disposal. The roots of his pathology lie in that oldest and most destructive of all human vices, the desire for the power to rule over other men. As naked...

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took a swipe not necessarily at the city of Boston, but at the men marching in the town's Straight Pride parade Saturday. Commenting on a tweeted video that shows mostly men with a few women marching, AOC said it looks like the men might have a "masculinity" problem. "For men who are allegedly so "proud" of being straight, they seem to show real incompetence at attracting women to their event," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. "Seems more like a "I-Struggle-With-Masculinity" parade to me. Hope they grow enough over the next year to support / join LGBTQ fam next...

[Catholic Caucus] Italian Bishops on Gay Pride and Reparations (squirm, check watches) In Pompeii, a handful of Catholics were led in prayer with a giant Rosary. And in Rome, a few “Catholic fundamentalists” prayed. So… that’s something… I guess…Meanwhile, Marco Tosatti reports: “The bishops of Lazio[1], who did not have a word to say when the Partito Democratico[2] passed some of the anti-family and anti-life laws illustrated in the flyer, and that do not have a word to say about the Gay Pride of what was the capital of Christianity, they have chosen today to make known a kind of...

How Did Sodomy Become “Pride”? In 1969, New York City police raided the “Stonewall Inn,” a “gay bar” in which sodomy, then criminalized, was being committed. The resulting riots by “gay people” in Greenwich Village are regarded as the genesis of the “gay pride” movement.The movement spread throughout the country and ultimately achieved governmental recognition by a supposedly religiously neutral but actually inherently anti-religious federal government. Two presidents, Clinton and Obama, have “officially” declared that June is “Gay and Lesbian Pride Month,” thus committing the “religiously neutral” federal government to a moral position that radically contradicts a fundamental precept of...

Less than half of independents, 42%, are extremely proud. That's down slightly from 48% a year ago,...

St. Augustine on Suffering as a Medicine Msgr. Charles Pope • August 27, 2018 • The feast of St. Augustine this Tuesday provides us yet another opportunity to learn from him. We can ponder his teaching on suffering and its role in preserving us from something far worse.When asked, most people identify their most serious problems as those related to their physical health or their finances; family and career are also often mentioned.Frankly, our biggest problem is pride and all the sins that flow from it. Nothing is more serious than our sins, which can destroy us forever. Worldly...

"If you're looking for a sign... This is it. Our message of PRIDE coming in July. Check us out then join us to 'do what is right and good...' Deuteronomy 6:18,"...
