Magazine: The Mercy of God, Summer 2016, Issue 1
Take the word mercy back from the liberals! Last year, when Pope Francis announced the Jubilee Year of Mercy, we all saw the glee and reactions of liberals in the news. Surely, everyone remembers the “All are Welcome” and “On the Margins” being flamboyantly heralded by liberal Catholics to convey the idea that somehow, through the…
Do Scientists Make Bad Arguments for God’s Existence?
I’ve seen an article making the rounds on social media that claims that a scientist has found definitive proof for God. It is full of phrases like “primitive semi – radius tachyons” purporting to show that science has finally proven that God does exist. I’ve seen many well intentioned Christians share this article; I’m sure in…
The Impact of God – The Evangelical Mission of St. Anthony of Padua
Today is the feast of St. Anthony of Padua! He was a man who was extraordinarily blessed by God and given numerous charisms, all of which he used to build up the Church. He had the gift of preaching, teaching, prophecy, knowledge, faith, healing and mercy. Such was the level of sanctifying grace within his soul that he…
Do You think they are kidding? Alinsky’s Demonic Ends Aspired
The Forum has been warning people about Alinsky for over twenty years. I saw this floating around on the Internets and it’s a good summary of the many things we discuss from time to time. Regular and long time readers will recognize it, but is there more? I am always amazed at the disconnect that seems…
We Have Everything Through Mary
On the Feast of Mary, Mediatrix of All Graces… One of the great difficulties we face today is a dearth of Marian devotion. It is not uncommon to walk into a Church and find it devoid of any images of our Blessed Mother. The great Marian feasts no longer involve processions in honor of the Blessed Virgin…
The 1 Root of Liberal Violence, Progressivism, Liberal Journalism, Griswold Contraception, and Police State
What does the combination of liberal journalists, modern “liberal violence”, the Federal Government imposing its will on States, schools, and hospitals, American progressivism, and Griswold vs. Connecticut have in common: animosity, or, specifically: dialectic and historical materialism? Historical materialism sees the world as a process based on modes of production, specifically within capitalism. Dialectic materialism…
Who Else Wants to Hear a Story about Mary’s Care For Us and People We Can’t Stand?
In Mary’s Immaculate Heart, all things about Our Lord are magnified. She truly does make it easier to understand the essences of God and the form of the mysteries of our faith. That’s not a cliche! Let me illustrate by talking about that one thing we all know: that guy you can’t stand. Everybody has one. You know who…
Heart to Heart on the Sacred Heart
I have to admit that my favorite time in the liturgical calendar is the Summer/Fall Ordinary Time. After celebrating the High Holy Season of Easter, we come upon Pentecost. Every year on Pentecost Sunday at the Pantheon in Rome, the Church celebrates the ancient tradition of rose petals descending from the “Holy Ghost” hole (video below) in the…
Would “Loud Praying” Exclude Charismatics?
When you see instructions like this in old Catholic texts, it makes you wonder how rowdy Mass was back then… this from a Catholic book published in 1894. I posted this little tidbit on Facebook and I had to share it here. Remember! Try to keep the spitting down when at Mass! And watch out for…
Finish May, the Month of Mary, with an Indulgenced Bang
At the end of our Rosary, we pray the mystery of the Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth. May is a month dedicated to devotion to Mary. Traditionally, on the old calendar, today, the last day of May, is the feast of the Queenship of Mary. Fr. Hardon gives the history of the Litany…
