Would Jesus Use Razor Wire at Borders? Would He Gaslight People with Dishonest ‘WWJD’ Arguments?
You’re seeing it already: the attempt to snap Christians’ spines and render us invertebrates, to leash us via our heartstrings, to shame us into silence about the Biden regime’s lawlessness ...
Pope Francis’ Top Doctrine Cop Echoes Occultists Aleister Crowley and Margaret Sanger on the ‘Mystical’ Power of Sex
Editor’s Note: This article contains sexual language. This is grim stuff, so let’s start off nice and easy. With a challenging little puzzle, like those silly “test your knowledge” posts ...
How Do You Solve A Problem Like Bergoglio?
No, reader, I’m not asking for a practical answer for Catholics heartbroken, confused, or outraged by Pope Francis’ anti-Catholic statements and actions. While in centuries past, a Catholic emperor or ...
The Gay Persecution of Pastors Has Begun and It Will Only Get Worse, Thanks to Pope Francis
Well, that was quick. I wrote some 48 hours ago that Pope Francis had intentionally opened the floodgates of abuse against faithful Catholics — especially pastors — with the Vatican’s ...
Pope Francis Opens Door to Blessings of Same-Sex Couples and Persecution of the Church

Pope Francis May Have Just Accidentally Saved My Church by Bankrupting It
Imagine if a drug company had released a new medicine — let’s say, a vaccine — that turned out to have horrible side-effects such as (for the sake of argument) ...
Can the Blood of Christ Wash Away White Guilt?
Sitting down to write about this topic, I’m dealing with a feeling that’s alien to me: ambivalence. You really might be shocked if you knew how rarely I feel torn ...
Francis Crony: Learn to Repent of ‘Racism,’ as Jesus Did
We’ve reached peak Woke church, my friends! We’ve actually gone and done it, and I think we deserve to celebrate somehow. Maybe a really monster rave around a Golden Calf, ...
Have You Accepted Antichrist as Your Personal Lord and Savior?
It’s not often I agree with progressive Christians, especially those chosen by Pope Francis as leaders in the U.S. church — from the “short list” drawn up by Francis’ longtime ...
Three Prophets Pass from the Scene: Pope Benedict, Pat Buchanan, and George Neumayr
I’m feeling … lonely. With the deaths of Pope Benedict XVI and courageous Catholic journalist George Neumayr, and the retirement of Patrick J. Buchanan from writing his column, I feel ...
Anarcho-Tyranny in the Vatican
Those who read me regularly will recognize the term “Anarcho-Tyranny.” In blunt, stark terms it means “Anarchy for me, but Tyranny for thee.” So the BLM rioters who trashed American ...
WATCH: Is the American Church Caving in Like the German Church Under Hitler?
Stream Senior Editor John Zmirak joined his old friend Eric Metaxas to talk about Metaxas’ new book, Letter to the American Church. At a time when panicked pastors are warning ...
Is Robert Barron a Bishop of Baal?
Did God punish Elijah for destroying the prophets of Baal, as Bishop Barron suggests? The latest pastoral reflection from Robert Barron might shock the reader, assuming he hasn’t been jaded ...
A Weary World Rejoices
I suppose it’s a kind of privilege, of the kind one never asks for: We now live in times of an uncanny similitude to the very first Christmas in history ...
Why Churchmen Who Demand the Vaccine Are Literally ‘Tyrants’: The Ultimate Resource
As I did yesterday, I’m eschewing originality this time in favor of usefulness. Imagine me leaning much too close to you, and speaking like some Palestinian used car salesman when ...
Caesar, Mammon, and Sodom Unite in the Great Reset of Churches
Is Pope Francis laying down breadcrumbs for LGBT groups to sue his church into compliance with same-sex unions? Last week, Jason Jones interviewed theologian John Gravino about the “Great Catholic ...

With so many “conservatives” and fainting-couch Christians tripping over themselves to shine the shoes of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, I’ve decided to launch a contest. The prize in contention? ...
Did U.S. Bishops Make a Deal With the Democrats, Like the Vatican’s Alliance With China?
We Catholics were deeply scandalized when Pope Francis sent then-Cardinal McCarrick (yes, the child molester now hiding from reporters) to negotiate a deal with Communist China. Its terms remain partly ...
LISTEN: The Treason of the Clergy: ‘Woke’ Prelates Begging for Head-Pats From Arsonists and Looters
Angry, larcenous mobs organized by radical terrorist groups roam America’s blue cities at will. The same mayors like Bill de Blasio who threatened to seize church and synagogue property six ...
Tide Pod Vestments and Child Abuse
Today I’d like to talk about something that might seem a bit trivial. Tacky religious vestments. But if you’ll bear with me, I think you’ll see that in something this ...
