Like many others, I have been alarmed by the success of certain politicians in our country who identify as extreme socialists or communists.

This is not a matter of classical liberals triumphing over standard-issue conservatives; this is the victory of people who stand athwart the fundamental principles that undergird our country.

There are many reasons why I detest Communism, but I want to draw attention to just one issue of supreme importance.

Karl Marx said that the first critique is the critique of religion. He meant that, before a complete re-working of the politics and economics of a society can take place, religion has to be taken down.

This is because religion, as he saw it, is the “opium of the masses,” a drug taken to dull our sensitivity to the suffering caused by economic exploitation. As long as the suffering populace is lured into complacency by fantasies about God's providence and the promise of eternal life, they will never rise up and throw off their chains.

But there is a second reason why the elimination of religion is of paramount significance for Marx.

Communism aspires to be a totalizing system, involving the government's control over education, entertainment, communication, politics, and especially economics.

What stands resolutely athwart this ambition is religion, which declares that all of these societal expressions are finally under the judgment of God. So, if you want Communism to succeed, religion has to be stamped out.

If you doubt me on any of this, I would encourage you to read the recent histories of China, Russia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Venezuela. Revisit those histories and tell me I'm wrong about the attack on religion.

Might I encourage my fellow believers in God not to be complacent in the face of this very troubling development in the American body politic?

Very grateful to President Trump and the First Lady for joining the Catholic faithful and the bishops of the United States in dedicating the nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

I used to believe in birth control as a means to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies and abortions, but I changed my mind. Here’s why.

In 1968, Pope Paul VI wrote Humanae Vitae and was mocked for it. He saw exactly where we were headed.

He predicted that widespread contraception would open the door to more infidelity, a lowering of moral standards, and men viewing women as something to use instead of someone to honor and protect. This is what happens when we separate sex from commitment and from the possibility of life.⁠
⁠​
Contraception didn’t reduce abortion; it helped build the mindset that made abortion inevitable and provided another opportunity to profit off women’s bodies.

When society is told that it is possible have sex without consequences, the baby is viewed as a failure.

A child is not a failure. We shouldn’t be surprised that a child results from a procreative act. 

We fail ourselves by dividing sex from the goodness God created it for.⁠​ We fail our children by viewing them as accidents.

🚨TRENDING: #Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh has reportedly donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to pro-life organizations.

Jim has called abortion “the most horrendous thing I could possibly conceive.”

Harbaugh is an extremely religious man and continues supporting these causes.

He's passed the fewest bills in the modern era, and he won't force a talking filibuster

Former Irish WR Miles Boykin says that going to Notre Dame and playing Football is the hardest thing he's ever done in his life.

"Playing in the NFL is hard. It's not harder than going to ND. I promise you."

He said he can do anything the coaches ask of him in the NFL because he first went to Notre Dame.

Choose Hard — and life pays you back 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳.

Catholics are erecting Sacred Heart billboards across the United States, proclaiming June as the Month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

[University of Notre Dame @NotreDame]

This June, the USCCB will consecrate the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Notre Dame joins in this act of devotion as we look to the Heart of Christ as the source of all hope and the model of a love that embraces every person.

This is one of the greatest photos in Catholic history.
Despite his greatness, Fulton Sheen had been ostracized and cast away by the powers that be in the American Church by the time he was an old man. When Pope John Paul II came to St. Patrick’s Cathedral in 1981, Sheen was relegated to a far off side section.
As everyone was applauding and greeting the pope, he kept looking around, and finally asked: “Where’s Fulton?”
The pope embraced Fulton and said: “You have written and spoken well of the Lord Jesus Christ. You are a loyal son of the Church!"

This makes me cry with love.

Soon-to-be Blessed Fulton Sheen…Pray for us. 🙏

I will fight abortion until my dying breath. For years, people have told me to tone it down, be quieter, and stop speaking so directly. I won’t. When innocent children are being killed, silence is not compassion. I will continue speaking for the unborn because it is right.

Coach would mail a weekly letter to us when we were home between graduation and summer school. He would frequently include a short motivational story or share a poem. Here is one of the poems he shared.

Did Catholic Church leadership go on 60 Minutes and say one word about Catholics being put on lists by Biden's FBI?

How about when pro-lifers were being arrested en masse?

Where was all this Big Bishop Energy for that?
