The amazing image with the cross that appeared in the sky
The head of the Russian Orthodox Church has suggested the rise of ISIS is partly the result of the world accepting homosexuality.
Patriarch Kirill claimed Muslims may be fleeing to join the terror group in Syria and Iraq to avoid being part of a civilization that holds events like Gay Pride.
The 69-year-old said it was little surprise so many were joining the caliphate and that he could offer more ‘simply frightening examples’ of how the ‘godless civilization’ was growing. MORE

Two sides of the coin on this story
The controversial retired priest who is volunteering at St. Philip Catholic Church told parishioners that news media last week reported “misleading information” about him and “those who know me well would verify that I would not act in those ways suggested.”
“Personally, I believe that some critics did not like the strong stance that I was forced to take in defense of Catholic teachings,” John Nienstedt said, “particularly the traditional definition of marriage, and I think they would like to punish me for those stands.” MORE
Last March 2015, I wrote about what I see as a sell-out by the Vatican of the faithful Catholics of China, the real Bishops and the great Martyrs against Communism. It is a reminder of the Ostpolitik of John XXIII and Paul VI which sold out the great Cardinals Mindzenty and Slipyj and millions of others behind the old Iron Curtain. MORE
