By FR. KEVIN M. CUSICK This country has dodged a bullet with the least qualified and most radically pro-abortion and infanticide candidates in history now, we may hope and pray, both permanently sidelined from the country’s highest offices and any possible future political life. And the most anti-Catholic as well. Harris snubbed the Al Smith dinner in a much-publicized political and religious blunder, which may have inevitably served to draw further attention on the part of less aware voters to her long-simmering hostility toward the Church. A new and more intense religious persecution on the ..read more

By DR. DONALD DEMARCO A writer does not need to look very far to find grist for the mill. If he has an open mind he will find abundant opportunities to ply his trade. But if his mind remains open and never closes on anything worth communicating, he betrays his vocation. If one is open for business, he does want to close a sale or two. I was in a drug store waiting for a prescription to be filled. This gave me time to roam the aisles to see if anything else tempted my pocketbook. I came upon an elaborate Halloween display. A row of ghoulish-looking talking heads caught my attention. I activated ..read more

By DEACON MIKE MANNO We’re about two weeks from the election, as this column is delivered, and after watching all the campaign ads, there is something very bothersome that is playing out. It is the preoccupation of Democrats and their candidates that the most important issue on the ballot is the right of a woman to play in Satan’s playground and to rip her unborn child limb-from-limb.                 Besides “Trump is a Nazi,” that seems to be their entire message to voters this year. And what mystifies me most is that ..read more

By KARA THAWMI The Carmelite Hermitage of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a community of three priests and six brothers, located in Lake Elmo, Minnesota, about a 20-minute drive from the state’s capital city, St. Paul. Construction is well underway for a new Chapel of Our Lady of Mount Carmel on the grounds of the Hermitage and soon to be open to the faithful community at large. One way to approach the Hermitage grounds is from a quiet residential road that curves around Lake Demontreville, then turn right onto the slender and smooth Mount Carmel Road which winds through broad fields with well-esta ..read more

By JOSEPH MATT As our national election for president enters the final stretch, a growing constituency of pro-life voters and even conservatives — and, of course, never Trumpers — are indicating their intention to withhold their presidential vote out of “principle” — the pro-lifers largely because of the GOP platform and Donald Trump’s latest softening stance on abortion. Well, first of all, the GOP’s platform is the most baseless of excuses to boycott Trump, which will only benefit Harris. The GOP platform isn’t worth the paper it’s written on and hasn’t been for some time. Can you find me te ..read more

(LifeSiteNews) — Planned Parenthood was “fully booked” with 25 appointments to dispense abortion pills at a mobile center on Monday and Tuesday during the Democratic National Convention (DNC). “Twenty-five innocent human beings whose lives are being ended at the DNC.

By JOSEPH MATT The culture of death was on full display for the world to see this past week in Chicago. The United Center which hosted the Democratic convention this past week is commonly referred to as “the house that Jordan built” – the famous basketball player. Well, this week with all the demonic, godless forces surrounding and within the convention center it could easily be referred to as “the house that Satan built.” For in that house and around that house it was hard to find anything that would indicate otherwise. Just a sampling of the Satanic atmosphere – abortion, the sacred cow ..read more
