Most faithful Catholics in the pews know there’s a place for social justice — the “preferential option for the poor” instantly recognized in persons such as Mother Teresa or Pope John Paul II vs. the preferential option for the state so cherished by needless bureaucrats and six-figure directors who hold the poor of our society hostage for greater government funding. So is it any small | Read More »
This time, it’s bold faced. From LifeSiteNews: So what happened? Was the pledge of reform just smoke and mirrors? Good intentions that dissipated over time? Or perhaps it’s just that a few problematic documents have slipped through the cracks? Overall, CRS’ programs seem to have a clear emphasis on abstinence and fidelity. But the organization undermines that strong message when they mention condoms as a | Read More »
What I cannot believe still is why Catholic Relief Services continues to defend some very un-Catholic positions — and now it seems, the positions of their employees — while attempting to explain away the institutional rot festering in the name of the Catholic bishops. Of course, why are you reading this here on RedState? The simple fact is this sea of counter-Catholic bureaucrats — including | Read More »
Virginia’s conservative bloggers have had enough. The Jeffersoniad Blog Alliance has issued a letter to Republican Party of Virginia chairman Pat Mullins demanding that the WaPo’s Laura Vozzella — who wrote a bizarre article attempting to link Republican U.S. Senate nominee George Allen with a judicial appointment — have her press credentials to the Republican National Convention revoked: 082112_Letter to Pat Mullins_FINAL Vozzella is no stranger | Read More »
Catholic Relief Services is doing the typical backpedaling when one’s hand is caught in the cookie jar — this time blurring the lines between sitting on a board and paying membership dues to an organization opposed to your own mission statement. Catholic Relief Services’ membership in MEDiCAM — an un-Catholic organization totally committed to expanding access to abortion, abortion training, and propaganda about abortion services | Read More »
Folks, these are some of the most painful articles I’ve ever had to put to pen. Yet the institutional rot at Catholic Relief Services is so deep — and the outrageous defense of CRS’s activities so blithe and numb to reality — that CRS is the new poster child for the epic political leftism eating away at the soul of faithful Catholicism in America. A | Read More »
For those who haven’t been watching, there’s another scandal brewing in the Catholic Church — this time with Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and the promotion of some very un-Catholic things. The good folks over at Life Site News just uncovered a rather unsettling relationship between CRS and an organization called the CORE Group, but there seems to be more to the story than a simple working | Read More »
Man oh man… did the Republican Party of Virginia drop a bombshell tonight! The target? The Richmond Times-Dispatch’s much applauded Politifact, which now seems to deserve a taste of its own medicine: For quite some time we’ve had growing concerns regarding PolitiFact Virginia’s approach towards Republicans in general, and in specific, “separating fact from fiction” against Republican candidates, officials and committees.
What justifies 9/11 and Islamist terrorism against the United States? Mentally unstable guys putting their trucks into mosques 10 years ago in Florida… that’s what. Of course, that’s the point the Virginia Anti-Shariah Task Force chief Jim Lafferty was making at a rather warm (someone turned the air conditioning off in a packed room of about 150 CPAC attendees — wonder why?) presentation at CPAC | Read More »
From the diaries by Erick It was Pope John Paul II’s great wish that the Church would learn to “breathe with both lungs.” I couldn’t help but notice the sturm-und-drang over the national personhood movement, most especially by Steve Ertelt in the following post. Arguments against are legion: it bleeds cash and resources, it’s not politically viable, and worst of all, it deprives Republicans the chance | Read More »
