The Return of AmChurch? – New York at Center of Suspension of Sheen’s Cause
With recent news from New York it is strange that today the Most Reverend Daniel R. Jenky, CSC, Bishop of Peoria and President of the Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Foundation, announced that the Cause for Sheen’s beatification and canonization has for the foreseeable future been suspended. Just two years ago, on September 9, 2012, a…
Not So FAST… It really is about politics.
The website of the Episcopal Church of the Good Samaritan in Clearwater, Florida carries information about Faith and Action for Strength Together (FAST), which is a congregation-based community organization in Pinellas County, Florida, operating within the DART network. The page concerning FAST states: “The organization is not political but rather, it is biblical.”(1) This assertion…
From Under the Rubble…The August Avalanche
Over the years, August has not been good to us. But Mom always said, “try to find something nice to say about everybody.” So, to paraphrase Richard Nixon, “let me say this about that.” Congress goes on recess in August. That’s good. Thanks, Mom! And now, getting back to Nixon, and August. My southern liberal…
The Forensics of an AmChurch hit on a Good Parish – Our Savior NYC fits
I read the news about Our Savior church in New York city, and I pour over emails I’ve received in the past year and it reminds me of the other times I’ve watched a successful traditional parish destroyed. Let’s not pull any bones here — when you read the letter Fr. Rutler wrote when he was…
Who Needs Isis? AmChurch Meat Grinder Hitting Our Saviour Church NYC?
Another thing I’ve seen over and over for the past twenty years and more is the politely stated, politically correct, and sensitive velvet glove that is worn on the outside of a giant destructive machine known as AmChurch. These guys come in with a smile and speak of pastoral needs, concern for the poor, and…
‘Mass mob’ reveals the Truth about AmChurch
For years, at least 10, more like 20, I’ve been astounded at how few people are at Mass. I’ve lived in Big cities. I’ve seen a few parishes with high attendance, but been scandalized by the degraded carnival-like parade of busybodies to which some of those had devolved. In the middle of all of that, there is something…
Did We Turn a Corner? No, no. Not to worry…the Catholic Campaign for Human Development remains true to its founding mission.
The Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) is an annual collection that has, for the past 45 years, funded Alinskyian community organizing and other progressive political-advocacy. This has always troubled pro-lifers whose own advocacy to protect the child in utero is systematically undermined by CCHD grants. Although CCHD claims to support a “seamless garment” approach…
“The Ambiguity of Islam”–Members of ISIS are Authentic Muslims
I commend to the readers of the Bellarmine Forum, a most excellent explication on the truth of Islam by one of the Holy See’s experts on the issue, Fr. Samir Khalil Samir, S.J. His book, 111 Questions on Islam, is not only timely, but it is essential reading for anyone who not only wishes to understand the current resurgent…
White Privilege Conference 2014: Government Funding to Reeducate the Educators
A fascinating discussion of racism, as a long-standing institution of “systemic, race-based privilege in America,”[i] has been conducted for the past 15 years in education circles at an annual event called the White Privilege Conference (WPC). WPCs are attended by “high school and college students, teachers, university faculty and higher education professionals, nonprofit staff, activists,…
Crawling to Church for the Feast (from The Pappas Post)
The faithful on the Greek Island of Tinos celebrating the Feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary today, thousands of pilgrims visit the church, many crawling in reverence to the Virgin Mary.
