Pope Francis advances sainthood cause of Filipino bishop known for bilocation, levitation, healing miracles…

Priests were also known to seek out Camomot to hear their final confessions before they died. After he became Coadjutor Archbishop of Cagayan de Oro, Camomot founded the Tertiaries of the Blessed Eucharist, today known as the Daughters of Saint Teresa. Carmomot died in a car accident on the feast of St. Vincent de Paul on Sept. 27, 1988. Pope Francis also approved the canonization of Blessed Giova...

We need a new Pentecost. Remember that. Give your lives to that…..

The following essay is adapted from keynote remarks delivered to graduates at the St. Charles Borromeo Seminary 185th Concursus. I’ve been retired now for two years. Retirement gives you a lot of time to think. And lately I’ve been thinking that if an Oscar were given each year for “Best Catholic Performance in the Role of a Reformation Protestant,” half the Catholics in Congress, not to mention t...

The men who wrote Roe v. Wade…

Several years ago, while doing some investigative reporting on the history of the feminist movement for my book Subverted, I traveled from California to the U.S. Library of Congress to read the Harry A. Blackmun Papers. During previous research, I’d discovered that a little-known book titled Abortion — containing many historical, social, legal and theological errors — had been used as a foundation...

Roe v. Wade was never a ‘law’ in the first place…

The Supreme Court is not a legislative body — while it can make judicial rulings, it cannot make law. “Roe v. Wade is the law of the land.” This phrase has been uttered millions of times since Jan. 22, 1973. Whether they want Roe upheld or struck down, Americans largely agree with that assertion. Problem is, the statement is 100% wrong. Roe was not law in 1973. It is not law now. Judge Harry Black...

The reactions to Cardinal Zen’s arrest were notable — and for different reasons…

In the 10 days since Cardinal Joseph Zen was arrested in Hong Kong, interrogated for hours and then released on bail, pending charges, there have been a variety of reactions — on the global scale and my own.  Who Stands With Cardinal Zen?  The Holy See Press Office noted the arrest of Cardinal Zen with “extreme attention.” The secretary of state, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, pronounced himse...

Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Communion Ban: 5 Key Takeaways…

Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco has formally barred Speaker Nancy Pelosi from receiving Holy Communion “until such time as you publically [sic] repudiate your advocacy for the legitimacy of abortion and confess and receive absolution of this grave sin in the sacrament of Penance.” His decision was communicated not only via a direct letter to Speaker Pelosi, who resides in the arch...

Archbishop Cordileone teaches Pelosi and the world: If abortion is not wrong, then nothing is wrong…

When Lady Astor first went to the Soviet Union back in 1931 in the hope of meeting Josef Stalin, she committed a cardinal breach of protocol by asking the dictator, “When are you going to stop killing people?” A perilous question, one would think, to put to someone who already had enough blood on his hands to rival Attila the Hun. Her membership in the British Parliament, however, provided suffici...

San Francisco Archbishop Cordileone Bars Nancy Pelosi From Receiving Communion Over Her ‘Advocacy for the Legitimacy of Abortion’…

“I asked her to repudiate this position, or else refrain from referring to her Catholic faith in public and receiving Holy Communion,” he wrote. “I also advised her that if she refused to do this, I would be forced to make a public announcement that she is not to be admitted to Holy Communion.”  He said that he received no response, but contacted Pelosi again a month later when she described ...

Sigrid Undset saw modern man’s false hope, and became a Catholic…

COMMENTARY: The Nobel laureate discovered that ‘only a supernatural intervention can save us from ourselves. The Christian Church teaches that Christ was Himself this intervention.’ It’s a “This, not that” kind of convert story. Sigrid Undset entered the Church in 1924, having already become famous for the novel Kristin Lavransdatter, a profoundly Catholic story set in medieval Norway. She receive...

The Order of the Holy Sepulchre denies Italian media reports that the Four Seasons Hotels group has been finalized as the manager of its hotel property in Rome. VATICAN CITY — The Order of the Holy Sepulchre has said it is still considering which company to choose to run a hotel in a renaissance-era building it owns just outside St. Peter’s Square, casting doubts over Italian media reports that it...
