- With respect, Mr. President, this is a mistake: 1) Unions have made American ports among the most inefficient in the world. 2) The costs of unions' Luddism are borne by all Americans in higher costs. 3) Why are we privileging 85,000 union members over 330 million American

- Happy 545th birthday to Sir Thomas More: lawyer, Renaissance scholar, statesman, husband, father, martyr and saint who stood firm when all but one of Englandโs bishops succumbed to a tyrant. Fidelity to the Truth made him a free man.
- I am not a Latin Mass attender and am well aware of the unhealthy views of a small minority of Latin Mass attendees, but one wonders why a similar papal response has not been unleashed upon the outright heresies of numerous German bishops. 1/ #TraditionisCustodes

- As I keep saying, French Catholicism is one of the most dynamic forces in Western Christianity these days. Note how young these people are.PARIS - Priรจres de rue devant Saint-Sulpice : les fidรจles demandent la rรฉouverture des รฉglises malgrรฉ le confinement. #COVID19

It only sows death and destruction, increases hate, multiplies vengeance. War erases the future. I exhort believers to take only one side in this conflict: the side of peace โ not in word, but in prayer.
- Barbarism. Nothing more, nothing less.VIDEO: Thousands of supporters of Islamist parties take to the streets of Karachi to protest Asia Bibi's acquittal and call for her beheading. Bibi, a Pakistani Christian woman who spent eight years on death row for blasphemy was freed from jail
00:00 - In itself the popeโs statement about America and immigration is unobjectionable. But @Pontifex has a serious consistency problem. For example: 1. He has said nothing about the persecution of Catholics and other believers in Communist China, and has done a shameful deal with a
- Dear @EmmanuelMacron This is the Oxford and Cambridge philosopher Elizabeth Anscombe. She is widely considered one of the greatest 20th century philosophers. She had seven children. #PostcardsforMacron
- Yesterday at Mass, I prayed for all priests and bishops who havenโt betrayed their flocks; who live humble lives; who arenโt sophists or careerists; who are faithful to their vows; who are unafraid to defend the Faith; and who have dedicated their lives to the Lord.
