He’s my confirmation saint because of his defense of the tenets of the Catholic faith early in church history. I returned to the Catholic Church after 30+ years as a reformed Protestant after studying early church history. It’s hard to deny that early Christianity was Catholic when you read the writings of the earliest leaders of the church espousing the basics of Catholic theology while facing death! So many Protestants say the just want the faith of the early church. I say, Then go to mass!

This is the biggest government scandal of my lifetime, and the legacy media refuses to cover it.

The FDA knew that COVID injections were causing severe adverse events, including sudden cardiac death, pulmonary infarction, and Bell’s palsy.

Americans had the Right to Know, and those affected deserve justice.

EXCLUSIVE: Bishop Barron tells Fox News Digital he'll confront what he calls the 'true threat to democracy' at Trump's massive prayer event on the National Mall this Sunday — not political opponents, but the marginalization of God from American life.

Barron, one of America's most prominent Catholic leaders, argues that core founding ideals like equality and inalienable rights collapse without a Creator. His address at the 'Rededicate 250' event will frame wokeism and radical self-invention as direct consequences of removing God from public life.

Trump, White House Cabinet members, and major faith leaders expected to attend.

The images coming out of Fatima tonight are truly breathtaking.

While the world burns, devout Catholics join together as one to pray for the intercession to the glorious white lady of peace—Our Lady of Fatima.

In the end, her Immaculate Heart will triumph!

"Pope Leo gave a special award to Iran's ambassador!"

He didn't, of course. The Iranian received the same decoration all other diplomats in his position receive.

Virtually everything you read re the Iran war—or any war—is the product of intense propaganda. Practice discernment.

He sold his Bugatti to build a Church (and a university, and a small town.)

Tom Monaghan founded Domino’s Pizza and became a billionaire. He bought yachts, private jets, and the Detroit Tigers.

Then he read C.S. Lewis and had a massive reversion to his Catholic faith. He took a "millionaire's vow of poverty," sold the Tigers, sold his fleet of classic cars (including a $8M Bugatti), and gave away his fortune.

He used the money to build a Catholic university (Ave Maria) and a massive Church in Florida.

He proved that you can serve God or Money, but not both. But he also proved money is not evil, and as any tool can be used for good in the right hands.

Thousands of pilgrims are gathering in the Shrine of Fatima tonight to commemorate 109 years since the apparitions of Our Lady. This is how the shrine looks on the eve of her feast day, which is May 13th. In this place, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to three shepherd children in 1917.

@BillMelugin_ @FoxNews Happy Anniversary! You are doing a great job! Keep it up!

[Deacon Richard @CatholicDeacon]

I prayed for over a year.

Not loudly.

Not dramatically.

Quietly.

As a Catholic father, I watched my son date someone who did not believe in God.

I loved him.

I supported him.

But inside, I was struggling.

I had raised my children in the faith, and I wondered if I had failed.

So I did what Catholic parents have done for centuries.

I prayed.

I offered Mass.

I asked Our Lady every day to guide my son and bring someone into his life who would share his faith.

Last year, that relationship ended.

It hurt him.

And it hurt me to see him sad.

But I trusted that God was working.

Then he met a young Filipino woman on campus.

She had been away from the Catholic faith for many years.

Then she started going to Mass with him.

Then she joined our family Rosary on Sunday evenings.

She had never prayed the Rosary before.

Tomorrow, she receives Confirmation.

My oldest son will be her sponsor.

And she will receive the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ.

This is what grace does.

It moves quietly.

It works through prayer.

It heals what we cannot control.

Parents, keep praying.

Our Lady is listening. 🌹

Mel Gibson shared a powerful reflection on Joe Rogan:

He talked about God’s mercy, pointing out that the very first canonized saint wasn’t a perfect person — it was Dismas, the criminal crucified next to Jesus. Unbaptized, guilty, dying on a cross… and Jesus still told him, “This day you will be with me in paradise.”

Mel’s takeaway: “The lawmaker is above the law. So there’s a lot of mercy.”

In a world that loves to cancel people and keep score of every mistake, this reminder of radical mercy and last-minute redemption feels incredibly relevant.

This one hit me. I’ve always found the story of the thief on the cross beautiful — it shows grace isn’t earned by being perfect, it’s given. Mel delivered it in such a raw, honest way.

What’s your take — does the story of Dismas give you hope, or does it challenge how you think about justice and mercy?

FACT: science shows that couples who pray together daily reduce their risk of divorce to just 1 in 1,500.

Compare this to the national average of 1 in 2

This is one of the most stunning marriage statistics I’ve ever seen.

[FBI Director Kash Patel @FBIDirectorKash]

Another alleged 764 member charged - excellent work @FBIAlbany. Recall back in February the Albany team released information calling on the public to stay on alert for Nihilistic Violent Extremism and online networks who target kids - these alerts work and it’s why we do them. Thanks to our investigators and partners for stepping up and protecting kids.

Servant of God Paulus Nagai Takashi was a Japanese Catholic physician, radiologist, author, and survivor of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki whose life of quiet faith amid unimaginable suffering earned him the title “saint of Urakami.” Born in 1908 in rural Shimane Prefecture to a family steeped in traditional Confucian and Shinto values, he grew up with a sharp mind and a skeptical spirit. As a medical student in Nagasaki, he embraced the fashionable atheism of his professors while boarding with a devout Catholic family. There he encountered the hidden Christians of Japan, descendants of those who had preserved their faith through centuries of persecution. The gentle witness of that household, especially the daughter Midori Moriyama, slowly dismantled his materialism. In 1934 he was baptized as Paulus, taking the name of the Japanese martyr Paul Miki, and soon married Midori.

Nagai became a pioneer in radiology at Nagasaki Medical College, training young doctors and caring for patients even as he knew the invisible rays were poisoning his own body. By the early 1940s he had already contracted leukemia from prolonged exposure to radiation. When war came he served twice as an army doctor, returning each time more disillusioned by violence. On August 9, 1945, the second atomic bomb exploded less than a mile from his hospital. The blast killed his beloved wife Midori as she prayed at home and destroyed much of Urakami, the Catholic heart of Nagasaki. Nagai himself was badly wounded yet rose immediately to treat the flood of dying and burned victims. For weeks he worked without rest among the ruins, offering both medical skill and spiritual comfort to a community reeling in grief.

In the years that followed, confined to a small wooden hut built over the rubble of his former home, Nagai lived as a contemplative in the midst of desolation. He wrote books and poems that reflected on the bombing not as meaningless horror but as a call to deeper trust in God’s providence. He comforted thousands of pilgrims and visitors, including the Emperor, urging forgiveness, reconstruction, and fidelity to Christ. Despite worsening illness he continued to teach, to pray the Rosary with his surviving children, and to see the hand of God even in atomic fire. His gentle acceptance of suffering, his refusal to hate, and his insistence that the Church must rise again from the ashes inspired Catholics worldwide.

Takashi Nagai died on May 1, 1951, at the age of forty-three. Twenty thousand people attended his funeral in a city still struggling to rebuild. His cause for canonization, opened together with that of his wife Midori, received the title Servant of God in 2021. In an age marked by technological power and moral confusion, his short life stands as a quiet testimony that scientific brilliance, cultural rootedness, and radical Christian love can meet in one person. Paulus Nagai Takashi did not seek greatness; he simply offered his broken body and faithful heart to the God who had first sought him. In doing so he became a light for Nagasaki and for the world.
