On Monday we released one question from the forthcoming national Cato 2017 Free Speech and Tolerance Survey of 2,300 Americans conducted by the Cato Institute in collaboration with YouGov.
The national survey finds that a solid majority, 61 percent, of Americans oppose firing NFL (National Football League) players who refuse to stand for the national anthem before football games in order to make a political statement. MORE
It’s not really bad news for the NFL, but it’s not great timing. On Friday night, U.S. president Donald Trump chose to target the league during an Alabama rally, saying that players who don’t kneel during the National Anthem should be fired. Those players, many of them black, have done so in protest of the treatment of people of color by the police. MORE
It saddens me to have to write this letter, but obviously you are either ignorant or don’t care about the Greatness of this Country.
I really need your help. As most of you already know, I am running for Congress in Idaho’s first congressional district, and because there is no incumbent the race is totally wide open. I announced that I was running on July 4th, and so September 30th is my very first FEC quarterly reporting deadline. All over the country, prominent Republican donors and key conservative organizations will be judging the strength of my campaign based on how much money I raise this quarter. MORE

It is more than twenty-five years since we were startled by strange and unsettling pronouncements from Rome. We were now to have a “dialogue” with the leaders of hundreds of erring sects. A liturgy for all in common was proposed at the first session of the Council. No objection was made by pope or bishops. Radical changes in the Mass and in the forms of the Sacraments followed, and in the teaching manuals. The infallible, the indefectible Church had admitted herself to have been mistaken in past centuries. The bishops and parish priests said, “Nothing essential is being changed.” Continue reading
“Mr. Rouhani! No need to give them positions in your administration — just allow them to have a mosque to perform the Eid al-Adha prayer.”
Reformist parliamentarian Mahmoud Sadeghi addressed these words to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in a Twitter post from Sept. 1, while communal prayers marking the major Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha were being performed all over the country. Sadeghi attached an image to the Twitter post showing Sunni worshipers standing in a long line on a street in Tehran’s Sadeghiyeh district. A few days later, Hojjat Nazari, a newly-elected member of Tehran’s City Council, said in a speech, MORE
More than 60 Roman Catholic theologians, priests and academics have formally accused Pope Francis of spreading heresy after the pontiff opened the door last year to allowing divorced and civilly remarried Catholics receive Communion.
In a 25-page letter delivered to Francis last month and provided Saturday to The Associated Press, the 62 signatories issued a “filial correction” to the pope — a measure they said hadn’t been employed since the 14th century. MORE

The perfect definition of AntiChrist is a “God against God.” This comes mainly from St. Paul (The Man of Sin) and St. John. St. John is the only one who uses the word AntiChrist. It is generally accepted that the AntiChrist’s would be a high priest. 1. The first true AntiChrist’s were Annas and Caiphais, but it was Caiphais who plotted Christ’s death. Caiphais represented God the Father who has God the Son killed, hence A God against God. (AntiChrist). You will find that most of the symbols of AntiChrist is a reflection of the Jewish faith, the two horns (Moses) The two horned miter or head covering the priests wore.

If this latest move in shifting power over to the Bishops on Liturgical reform he’s saying in-effect, see, we can all be popes, so you don’t need me except in an emergency. So now I can begin my move to Jerusalem.
Pope Francis, who has used his absolute authority in the Vatican to decentralize power from Rome, made a widespread change Saturday to the ways, and words, in which Roman Catholics worship by amending Vatican law to give national bishop conferences greater authority in translating liturgical language.
