Richard ” Big Will ” Williamson, owner of BW Security Services, in Riverside, CA The recent murder of Richard ” Big Will ” Williamson, owner of BW Security Services, in Riverside, CA., once more serves notice about the very real threat decent Black men and private officers face in urban settings. He died after exchanging shots with gunmen firing into the crowd at a skating rink he secured. Believe it or not, skating rinks have become high risk venues for private officers and police. This case brought back memories of the heavy police and security presence at the one back...

Pope Benedict XVI has sacked two Vatican officials over the readmission of a British Holocaust-denying bishop to the Roman Catholic Church. He also abolished the Vatican department responsible for the lifting of the excommunication of Richard Williamson, who is one of the leaders of the Society of St Pius X. The rehabilitation, in January, threatened to undo decades of work to heal rifts between Catholics and Jews. The German-born Pope was forced to apologise to Jewish leaders and atoned by visiting the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial in Israel in May. The incident made Pope Benedict, one of the most admired...

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (CNN) -- Bishop Richard Williamson, who last month denied the existence of the Holocaust in an interview with Swedish television, was ordered Thursday to leave Argentina within 10 days, the Ministry of Interior said. "The bishop has repeatedly forged the true motive for his stay in the country, having declared that he is an employee of 'La Tradicion' Civil Society when, in reality, his true activity was as priest and seminary director of the Society of Saint Pius X in the neighborhood of Moreno," Interior Minister Florencio Randazzo said in a written statement. Williamson and three other...

In his homily at his inaugural Mass as Pope, Benedict XVI asked Catholics to “Pray for me, that I may not flee for fear of the wolves.” The media firestorm over Benedict’s decision to lift the excommunication of the four bishops consecrated without papal approval in 1988 by the late Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre provides a perfect illustration of how modern wolves attack and what they attack, and thus might be of interest to non-Catholics as well as Catholics. Lefebvre, the former archbishop of Dakar, Senegal, became increasingly disenchanted by the doctrinal confusion that followed in the wake of the Second...

In the early 1980s, when I had the privilege of serving on President Reagan's senior staff in the White House, my colleagues and I often felt like firemen rushing to put out the flames of this crisis or that.

The other day President Bush reminded us that America has a mission, an opportunity and a moral obligation...
