Thank you Nestor for drawing my attention to the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India (CBCI) Diwali message, in these words: The Hindu festival, celebrated on Wednesday, November 7, this year in India, recalls the night when Lord Rama returned to his palace in Ayodhya with his wife Sita and brother Laxman after a 14-year exile.  This represents the CBCI backing for Ayodhya !!!At the Holy Name Cathedral they usually have a Diwali “mass.”  Regards, John

On October 8, 2018, CRUX news service ran a story on the late Father John Harvey, founder of Courage, written by Opus Dei writer Christopher White. CRUX, as readers who have been following my byline for years know, doesn’t identify its large stable of Opus Dei writers, so until they do, I’ll have to do it for them.

What the Bible Says on Degrees of Sin and Mortal Sin. If God gets “serious” about actual, real sin in heaven, why in the world would He not start now?Dave Armstrong

1 John 5:17 (RSV) explicitly differentiates a mortal sin from a less serious one: “All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin which is not mortal” (KJV: “not unto death”).

Unbelievable. Ireland has gone from the Emerald jewel of the Catholic Church to the barbaric level of insanity. This is what happens when you join up with the E.U. and the Apostate Church.

Since Roe V’s Wade the Religious community of our country have tried numerous ways to reverse Abortions from boycotting clinics, driving up insurance costs, imposing stiff regulations and preaching to the individuals. Some cities have drop off centers where mothers can leave there unwanted babies but this has done little to cut down the abortions. In researching the cost of an abortion I have found that it varies from State to State. Some States are as low as $400.00 to a high of about $1200,00 in the United States.  Those States who charge a low rate makes it unprofitable to schedule abortions with greater frequency.
