COMMUNION AND PUBLIC SCANDAL  Archbishop Joseph Naumann has said he is “sad” over the way Pope Francis has handled the controversy surrounding the pro-abortion actions of President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-CA. “It is not pastoral to tell someone they are a good Catholic and can receive Communion as a matter of […]

Did Pope Francis slight Archbishop José Gómez of Los Angeles and Insult the Faithful in America?

The Pope’s recent elevation of progressive and liberal Bishop McElroy of San Diego Diego California to cardinal sent many Catholics’ heads a spinning. Since the Pope bypassed Archbishop Gomez of Los Angeles to raise Gomez’s “subordinate” McElroy, it seems the Pope is making a statement, preferring the very left-leaning political bishop and in so doing […]

“Tales from the Coffin” (Patrick, that is) by Ed Feser PhD

For those who have followed the recent sad state of affairs of a once great media and apologetics personality, you will find this recent post by Feser interesting. Since Patrick Coffin’s arguments are so weak and unconvincing, he has resorted to blaming his opponents of being motivated by money and employs adolescent silliness by substituting […]

Patrick Coffin and his claim that Pope Francis is an Anti-Pope

First, I sadly begin by saying that I have always had great respect for Patrick Coffin and consider him a friend and ally in the culture wars. When he was the host of Catholic Answers Live we probably did 100 shows together. We have traveled together. I consider him a dear friend. However, I do […]

Does God Tempt Us to Sin? Should we Change the Words of the “Our Father” Prayer?

There are a lot of discussions about the Pope’s comments a while ago on the wording of the “Our Father” prayer, especially the line “Lead us not into temptation” (Matt 6:13). He said it gives the wrong impression — that God Himself leads us into sinful temptations. Of course, taken at face value without understanding […]

Two New Books for Catholic Cultural Warriors – which includes all of us!

Emmaus Road has recently published two new books on current culture and how to navigate as Christians in this strange and rapidly secularized world. Both are worth a read. My mom is now 100 years old and told me she doesn’t like the changes in our country. She doesn’t like what America has become: abortion, […]

Does the Bible Contain Errors, or is it Inerrant?

An e-mail I received today with a very important and pertinent question. It involves the inerrancy of Scripture. In short, this means that the Scriptures do not contain errors. I decided to answer the e-mail and share my response. Pope Leo XIII wrote, “For all the books that the Church receives as sacred and canonical […]

St. Justin Martyr (AD 100-165) The Eucharist and Who is Eligible to Receive

  Who is Justin Martyr and why should we care what he says about the Eucharist? He is a second-generation Christian who learned from the successors of the Apostles. He lived from c. 100–c. 165. In other words, he was born about the same time St. John the Apostle died. Look at the timeline chart […]

Are some bishops ‘politicizing’ the Eucharist? Yes, in a perfectly sound, pastoral way

Does excluding pro-abortion rights Catholic political leaders from Communion amount to “politicizing” the Eucharist? Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco does not think so—at least not in a problematic sense of “politicize.” His recent pastoral letter, “Before I Formed You in the Womb I Knew You,” carefully explains Catholic teaching on abortion, holy Communion and the […]
