Read MoreThe critical condition of our heart
By Chaplain Tom Maly James — what is this—no more readings from Ephesians? For the next 5 weeks, we hear from the book of James, a “minibook” (a mere 5 chapters) which is said to be of the “parenesis” genre! Don’t you just love it — another fancy new word! As best…
Read MoreThe politics of Catholic principle
Paul Ryan is a heartless bastard. That’s the message you’re hearing from the media, Nuns on the Bus, and a whole bunch of “social justice” Catholics. The gripe: his budget rolls back some poverty programs to Clinton-era levels. Not so fast, suggests the bishop in Congressman Paul Ryan’s diocese …
Read MoreWhy don’t Catholics condemn divorce as passionately as gay marriage?
A Quiner Diner’s reader asks: “Why don’t Catholics condemn divorce (especially no-fault divorce) the same as same-sex marriage? Jesus never spoke of homosexuality (and even Paul’s stand can be debated). Jesus spoke out several times against divorce – he saw it as adultery.” Here’s the answer …

By Karen Quiner Baltimore Archbishop William E. Lori went on the record at the annual Knights of Columbus convention in California stating: “The question to ask is this: Are any of the candidates of either party, or independents, standing for something that is intrinsically evil, evil no matter what the circumstances? If that’s the case,…
Read MoreNew York Times criticizes Lolo Jones for virginity
The Left reviles Christian values. We saw what happened to Chick-fil-A when their boss, Dan Cathy, said he supports traditional, Christian marriage. Their target this week is Lolo Jones …
Read MoreThe “hocus pocus” of liberalism
What do you think of this e-mail I received: “A Christian is a person who behaves as Christ behaved and recommended for others. It has nothing to do with some sort of hocus-pocus salvation. And if Roman Catholics (I’m a Catholic) believe that good works are necessary we have a long ways to go. Conclusion? It is impossible to be both a Christian and a Republican.”
