Against Refugee Parasites

I am sick and tired of the bad press the Egyptian government is getting for guarding their sovereign borders. Why did “Saint” Joseph take his wife and infant son on a dangerous trek to another country instead of staying home, being a courageous Spiritual Warrior and Patriot, raising an army and fighting to free his […]

The Gun Cultist as Horror Movie Villain

A Christian believes that life is sacred from conception to natural death.

Because I am a patriot, I post this today

If you are neutral, you are an accomplice to the gravest domestic threat our country–and the American Church–has faced in my lifetime. The threat to the Church is not persecution.

Pope Francis on the error of the Christianist “prolife” enemy of human life

In his terrific letter Gaudete et Exsultate, Pope Francis perceptively diagnoses the disease now raging through the Christianist Freak Show of “prolife” zeal for cruelty to children at the border and racist targeting of the poor, brown, and desperate that so passionately animates the Greatest Catholics of All Time as they march in the MAGA […]
