‘Truly, I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise’ (Lk. 23:43). From the moment that Our Lord spoke these words, the Church has lived in this present time frame.

Read MoreOver at OnePeterFive, columnist Matthew Plese, who, according to his by-line, is a Third Order Dominican and an official catechist, claims as Church dogma that unbaptized infants cannot enter heaven, and, hence, are doomed to hell.

Read MoreHilaire Belloc warned of Man’s re-descent into a ‘new paganism’ nearly a hundred years ago, in 1931, and thought the process already well advanced back then.
