We love our pets so much that we go to great lengths to spoil them, protect them, and sometimes, even save them. And, all of this care can become expensive, really expensive. The toys, food, and veterinary visits rack up quite the tab. MORE

NAIROBI, Kenya (RNS) – Eritrean Christians and human rights advocates are cheering the release of 35 Christian prisoners as a new peace pact between Eritrea and Ethiopia takes hold this month.

Israeli Druze feel abandoned over new Nationality Law
In the week when hundreds of people from the Druze community were massacred in Syriaby Islamic State terrorists on July 25, their Israeli peers are struggling for their status in the state following the passage of the Nationality Law. According to the Druze, the Nationality Law, anchoring the Jewish character of the state, hurts them. And they feel particularly hurt because many members of the community are loyal citizens who serve in the army. MORE

Dear Friend of MassResistance
Dear Friend of MassResistance,
We know that you are bombarded with solicitations for funding … but hardly ever from MassResistance. Why is that? Because our small but dedicated staff is too busy producing reports and providing guidance for activists. So we have little time for fundraising! But we are in serious need of your help now.
Just look at our recent cutting-edge reports below, and ask yourself: What other group informs you so thoroughly on such a broad range pro-family issues? What other group has the courage to speak the truth so directly? What other group has published the unpleasant facts about the Health Hazards of Homosexuality?
PLEASE donate HERE to help us continue our fearless work!

Recently the Australian Navy began taking part in the ‘100 Days For Change’ campaign. According to a Navy spokesperson: “To encourage gender equality and diversity in the workplace, personnel in Sydney painted their pinky fingernails pink as a visual indication of support.”
Sadly this is not a joke. It is the Australian Defence Force under Marise Payne and Malcolm Turnbull. Pink fingernails are yet another tragic sign of PC-capability being put ahead of defence capability.
Churches may have to pay taxes, and members of Congress may pay politically
WASHINGTON Members of Congress should be able to work together to protect houses of worship from having to pay taxes, especially in an election year when both parties want to earn the faith community’s vote. MORE
Is America’s birth rate about to start booming?
Sometimes a society’s values change sharply with almost no one noticing. In 1968, according to a Gallup survey, 70 percent of American adults said that a family of three or more children was “ideal” — about the same number as Gallup surveys starting in 1938. That number helps explain the explosive baby boom after Americans were no longer constrained by depression and world war. MORE

Dear Reader:
One of our readers asked a question about the commentary two weeks ago that should be answered: You wrote . . . : “Adam, as head of the human race, chose to reject God knowing it would be the cause of death spiritually and physically for himself and all posterity.” I can’t recall any other writings that say Adam knew the effect of his sin would pass to all his posterity, and for my own information I’m just wondering if you can provide me with a reference source. Thank you! Continue reading
Explaining Sede Vacante & Sede Vacant-ism Anti-Popes & AntiChrists
Impugning the known truth is a mortal sin against the Holy Ghost
The definition of Sede Vacante is not defined correctly. It is an adopted word to explain an empty chair as a result of a death or resignation of a pope. The problem with this definition alludes to the state of the church to be headless. Our Lord said “Thou art Peter . . . . and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.” This implies that no matter what happens to the pope there will always be someone to act in the place of the pope who will run the church until another pope is elected. Hence we have the term “perpetual successors”. The Church has always taught that St. Peter’s successors to be in an unending, an unbroken chain. So up until the Vatican II Council, there has never been a break in the line of successors (Vatican Council I).What I wish to state is up until the Vatican II Council, the proper understanding of Sede Vacante is really Sede Transition for, as I pointed out, the Church is never without its delegated authority.
