We Are Catholic

With all that's going on in the world, do you need a pick-me-up? Remember what it means to be Catholic.

Deacon Bears Arms

What do you get the deacon who has everything? How about a sidearm? If you're puzzled by this statement, just check out the latest photo and commentary on Fr. Z's Blog.

I always knew Deacon Zak would take a bullet for me if necessary, but I'm more relieved to know he won't have to with his new liturgical accessory.

Komen Reverses Its Decision

For a mere 48 hours the Susan B. Komen for the Cure foundation seemed like it was getting out of the business of death and its entanglement with Planned Parenthood. Not extricating itself from the abortion giant for moral or pro-life reasons, Komen ostensibly decided to cut its ties with Planned Parenthood after 2012 to cease ever-increasing boycott efforts.

Komen had been giving generous grants to Planned Parenthood for years and Catholics and pro-lifers were not going to cooperate with such evil in their parishes or schools. However, after 22 Democratic senators sent a letter to Komen's founder and CEO imploring it to reverse its decision, Komen did just that. Komen says that Planned Parenthood will still be eligible to receive its grant monies in 2012 and beyond.

What was in this letter? Threats? Bargaining? Who knows? But it shows the love many have for abortion and the funding of eugenicist and racist organizations like Planned Parenthood, purveyors in utter perversity.

Why does Planned Parenthood need federal funding? Why does Planned Parenthood need connections to things like Komen? It's an organization so reprehensible, so evil, that it would absolutely falter without federal monies (your tax monies) and its collusion with "honorable" organizations like Komen. Without either, people would see it for what it truly is: the nation's biggest abortion-provider and destroyer of chastity.

As time goes on, the forces of Christ and the forces of antichrist seem to grow more and more distinct. Indeed, one cannot remain neutral: Either we are moving towards Christ or away from Him. There is no middle ground.

Antichrist on the Rise?

Without a doubt the Rev. George W. Butler is heir to the finesse and perspicacity of Bl. John Henry Newman, so it would be worth your time to read his latest article on the assault on our religious freedoms in the United States and the rising antichrist.

Media Ignores the March for Life Again

LifeSiteNews.com has put together an excellent piece detailing the absence of media coverage of the 2012 March for Life in Washington, DC. This year is certainly not an exception. The media has long ignored the hundreds of thousands of pro-life marchers or gravely and deliberately misconstrued the numbers of marchers. Read the article but especially watch the video clip from CNN. It's truly laughable. I was there and didn't see any pro-abortion protesters but notice who gets "equal" coverage and the hilarious attempts by CNN and those mentioned in the article to make it seem like lots of pro-abortion people were there and very few pro-lifers ("anti-abortion" in the media lexicon) except old and angry ones. That was not my experience. Around 400,000 pro-life people were there, despite the mud and rain, and the vast majority of them were youth and young adults. Could anyone who attended missed these facts? Yeah, I suppose 400,000 pro-life marchers were hard to see with the 11 pro-abortion protesters in front of the Supreme Court. It's easy to see how complicit the media is with abortion. Just click here for the whole article.
