The Catholic ThingShould Catholics Expect to Find a 'Political Home'?By Daniel B. Gallagher.
But first a note from Robert Royal: Friends, e made a good start towards our end-of-year funding goals yesterday, and I'm deeply grateful to all of you for your support. It's a great encouragement to all of us at TCT to see donations coming in from every state in the Union, and in countries from New Zealand to Switzerland. But we're only at the beginning and still have a distance to go. And in the meantime, the work needed is essential. As Professor Gallagher makes clear today, it's not just that the Catholic Faith can't...

Inside The VaticanHas Pope Leo’s honeymoon ended? U.S. Catholics push backPope Leo is drawing criticism from some U.S. Catholics over his consistent pro-life ethic, particularly after responding to questions about Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich’s plan to honor Senator Dick Durbin with a lifetime achievement award, despite Durbin’s support for abortion rights.
While he said he was not familiar with all the details, Pope Leo expressed confidence in Cardinal Cupich’s judgment and emphasized that being truly “pro-life” means opposing not only abortion but also the death penalty and the “inhumane treatment of immigrants.” Senior Vatican correspondent Gerard O’Connell notes on “Inside the Vatican” that the pope’s “hon...

The Best of the WeekBishop Thomas Paprocki and the Lessons of a Declined Award (The Drew Mariani Show)In September, Cardinal Blase Cupich announced that the Archdiocese of Chicago would be giving a Senator Dick Durbin a lifetime achievement award at their Keep Hope Alive celebration on November 3rd. Cardinal Cupich stated that the award was being presented to Senator Durbin for his work in immigration, but many responded by pointing out that he also has a long history of supporting legislation protecting abortion. After this announcement, Bishop Thomas Paprocki of the diocese of Springfield responded, stating that this decision to present an award to Senator Durbin risked causing grave scandal and confusing the faithful...

Stoking the EmbersDoes Pope Leo Disappoint with Comments on Cardinal Cupich, Durbin Award?This podcast is accompanied by an article, for those who are here to read, and aren’t interested in podcasts.Description: I respond to Pope Leo XIV’s comments about Cardinal Cupich’s decision to honor Senator Dick Durbin with an award. The Pope urged Catholics to look at Durbin’s “overall record” — a fair point rooted in Catholic moral tradition — but his remarks raised bigger questions about clarity, consistency, and what the faithful need from their shepherds. I explore why the Church’s message can’t afford to blur moral lines, why abortion and immigration are not...

Dick DurbinThe Pope’s statement on the Durbin award: wrong, and irrelevant; if Pope Leo is quoted here accurately (and I have no reason to think otherwise), it’s a terribly disappointing statement for several reasons; Durbin’s decision to decline the Chicago award has the ‘look and feel’ of a negotiated solution; Pope Leo describes American immigration policy as “inhuman.” Well…Dick Durbin says h...

The Simple TruthCardinal Cupich Honors Pro-Abortion Senator and America's Catholic Bishops Have Had ENOUGH! (Fr. Stephen Imbarrato) - 9/26/259/26/25 - We'll unpack the growing backlash against Cardinal Blase Cupich's decision to honor Senator Dick Durbin, a politician with a long record of supporting abortion. With seven U.S. bishops now speaking out against the award, this controversy raises urgent questions about scandal, unity, and the Church's public witness. Jim and Father Imbarrato bring a strong pro-life perspective to the discussion, examining why honoring a pro-abortion leader undermines Catholic teaching, how the bishops are responding, and what faithful Catholics can do to defend life and truth in a culture of confusion.

What a tool of all of the demonic powers that be, and as such, he is a perfect representation of the ape, intruder church. It should hearten the awake and the authentic Catholics that, while absolutely sinister, these boomer-fruitcake prelates are equally moronic and inept. Paper tigresses, as it were.

Is there any sane person on earth who loves nuclear bombs? As such? If so, I've never met one. And I've certainly never encountered any good argument for them, as such. Ronald Reagan, the American president whom I heard many Europeans back in the day describe as a warmongering "cowboy," hated nukes and seriously negotiated with the Soviets to limit their spread. His "Star Wars" plans were defensive not offensive, however much the mere notion of missile defense inspired not only that derisive label, but also fear and loathing among the professional nuclear gamers. Nukes are...

A pro-LGBT agenda is on the rise, climate alarmism has taken place of sound reason, and the Traditional Latin Mass is banished into the fringes. Pope Francis has removed faithful priests and bishops while honoring LGBT advocates such as Fr. James Martin, Cardinal Blase Cupich, and Cardinal Joseph Tobin.

Holy SmokeHow the Vatican tried to suppress criticism of the new presidentCardinal Blase Cupich, the ambitious left-wing archbishop of Chicago, must have imagined that Joe Biden's inauguration last week would be a moment to savour.

They thought they'd succeeded.But then things went spectacularly wrong. The president of the US bishops' conference, Archbishop José Gomez of Los Angeles, drafted a statement on behalf of his colleagues that n...

Saying “human dignity is at center of all we say and do,” Cardinal Cupich explains how the Church’s commitment to action on the death penalty fits into its broader teachings about social justice and the sanctity of life. “Let’s be honest,” he says. “No life t...
