(LifeSiteNews) — Forty-nine years ago this week, having just completed my freshman year in the Architecture Department at Carnegie Mellon University, I went to Confession with our parish priest. In many ways it had been a great year: I was finally living my dream of becoming an architect, I had earned my private pilot’s license, and I spent many weekends traveling first class to Hawaii, Beverly Hills, and London just to have a quick break from campus life. But I knew deep down inside that I was leading an escapist’s life, and so when the spring semester ended, I found myself at a critical juncture. I had experienced same-sex attraction for as long as I could remember – as early as when I was five-years-old – but had never acted on my impulses. My resistance was weakening. I couldn’t keep my secret bottled up much longer. I unburdened my soul to my parish priest, Father Vincent Gatto, on a Monday evening in June 1976, just a couple weeks before the U.S. bicentennial. His words to me …
NFL kicker Harrison Butker reacted to the controversial opening ceremonies of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, which featured what’s being seen as a parody of The Last Supper recreated by drag queens. The 29-year-old previously went viral in May for sharing his thoughts on the role of women during a commencement speech at a Catholic college in Kansas. Butker published his reactions on social media. “This is crazy,” he wrote on social media, following that with a Bible quote. He also quoted scripture on X, writing, “Be not deceived, God is not mocked. For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap. For he that soweth in his flesh, of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he that soweth in the spirit, of the spirit shall reap life everlasting.” Advertisement The clip he shared included a clip of the performance, which has been slammed on social media and eventually was removed from the official Olympics YouTube page following intense backlash. Besides the Last Supper …
It's who has the best policies not personality. However, when Trump wins, the Democrat-socialists will go into hyper drive in attempting to undermine and hamstring his administration with frivolous lawsuits, espionage and leaks from gov agency hacks, and fomenting riots in American cities. Just be prepared.
@Father Karl A Claver... Excellent Father. Here is the wording... ""Man may never obey a law which is in itself, immoral and such is the case of a law which would admit in principle, the liceity of abortion. Nor can he take part in a propaganda campaign in favor of such a law or vote for it. Moreover, he may not collaborate in its application. "Declaration on Procured Abortion"
"'Fetus' is Latin for offspring. I don't know why we're speaking Latin. I speak English." Powerful testimony from a father whose daughter was aborted against his will.
This was an extremely moving and sorrowful experience. The original of this video was even more moving and with no jump edits. My only concern was that in the original he said he doesn't hold the abortion against his wife. Not my reaction, no way pal. God Bless the man and his amazingly moving testimony.
Daryl Davis was once an aspiring and successful musician. He had played with Chuck Berry, B.B. King, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Muddy Waters. However, his true claim to fame, the legacy he has forged came in a very different way. He went out of his way to befriend KKK Grand wizard, Roger Kelly. He spent years building trust between them and laying the foundation of what became a friendship. They broke bread at each other’s tables. They welcomed each other into their homes. Davis even went as far attending Klan rallies as a guest of Kelly. Most importantly, Davis cultivated an atmosphere of listening. He didn’t hate Kelly because Kelly hated him. Instead he listened to Roger Kelly. And eventually, Kelly started listening to him. This lead to the two realizing they had far more in common than not. In the end, Kelly denounced his ties to the KKK. So much so, he handed his hood and robe to Daryl Davis. In total, Davis has seen over 200 klan members walk away from the KKK and hand over their robes …More
Cardinal Gregory publicly pointed out that Biden embodies the phrase, "Cafeteria Catholic", especially with the life issues. It's important that Bp. Gregory be clear and unapologetic if he is to be a shepherd to his flock.
Well from the highly edited clip - the Cardinal said many correct things, so it was good to hear. It would be better if he'd call out Biden in his role as local ordinary bishop and tell him not to approach Holy Communion until he has repented of his obstinate dissent from Catholic doctrine like the archbishop of San Francisco did in the case of Pelosi.
The fire alarm went off as Mass started this Easter morning. Some say it was triggered by the incense. I think it was anticipating Fr Martin's homily that was ON FIRE! (begins at 21:30)
Just another revolutionary modernist bishop being championed as a good guy. 1Peter5 must really be demoralized to be praising such types. Keep this article in the back of your mind when reading anything else they write, as they’ve shown their own semi-modernist inclinations..
Back when I was in high school in the 70s we had a coach who was a great mentor & a big-time evangelical Prot. He led many student players to Christ. I suspected that many young men were persuaded by him due to their admiration of his coaching. Years later I heard he became a self-styled pastor.
Synodal Church scriptural justifications - "Donut be afraid"; "Whatsoever you do the yeast of these..." The above photo is from part of the rite from the revised Traditional Latte Mass. By the by, henceforth the term 'clergy' with be replaced by the more liturgically accurate 'calorie-gy'. There will be no clarifications.
