Recovering from feminism.
Catholics must lead in truth and charity.

Firefighters in Serbia found an icon of the Virgin Mary completely untouched in the ruins of a family home that burned to the ground.

Officials called the 2025 discovery a miracle after almost everything else was lost.

How Female Grievance Prevents Adulthood
The delayed-motherhood debate asks why women were sold a lie. The harder question is why so many were ready to believe it.

“Feminism is built upon two principal vices: the condemnation of men, whom Genesis tells us are made in God’s image and likeness, and the promotion of envy to prod women to become like the very men for whom they feel profound contempt. It is, in essence, an envy-driven Marxism for women, which means it is inherently sterile.”https://t.co/Tz0zsXacie

A STATEMENT ON LEBANON: A CRY FOR THE INNOCENT

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

My heart is heavy as I look toward Lebanon – a land long marked by faith, suffering, and perseverance.

Lebanon is not merely another nation in conflict. It is home to one of the oldest and largest Christian populations in the Middle East, where the name of Jesus Christ has been professed continuously since the earliest centuries of the Church. In that sacred land stands the shrine of St. Charbel Makhlouf, a humble monk whose life of prayer, penance, and Eucharistic devotion has borne extraordinary fruit. Known as the “miracle monk of Lebanon,” countless souls have testified to God’s healing through his intercession – a sign that even in suffering, God has not abandoned His people.

And yet today, Lebanon bleeds.

Reports continue to emerge of relentless bombardment in densely populated civilian areas – families, children, the elderly – lives shattered without warning. What we are witnessing is not simply warfare, but a grave assault on human dignity. The deliberate targeting or reckless endangerment of innocent life is never justified. NEVER.

The Church has always been clear: War itself is a tragedy – but the intentional harming of civilians is a moral evil that cries out to Heaven.

We must not grow numb to images of destruction. We must not allow political narratives to dull our conscience. Every child killed, every home destroyed, every mother weeping over her son – this is not abstract. This is human suffering. This is Christ crucified again in His people.

Lebanon has already endured decades of instability, economic collapse, and the exodus of Christians from the region. To strike this nation again – especially in ways that devastate civilian life – is to deepen wounds that may take generations to heal.

I call upon all leaders involved to remember this: power does not grant moral permission. Military strength does not justify the loss of innocent life. There can be no lasting peace built upon the graves of the defenseless.

And to the faithful, I say this: do not remain silent in your hearts. Pray. Fast. Offer sacrifice.

Pray for the people of Lebanon. Pray for the conversion of those who wield power without mercy. Pray for true peace – not the fragile silence of ceasefires, but the peace that comes from justice rooted in truth.

Through the intercession of St. Charbel Makhlouf, may God bring healing to the wounded, comfort to the grieving, and repentance to those who act without regard for the sanctity of life.

And may we never forget: Every human life is sacred, from conception to natural death, in every nation, without exception.

In Christ Our Hope,

Bishop Joseph E. Strickland
Bishop Emeritus

“God will permit this great evil against His Church. Heretics and tyrants will come suddenly and unexpectedly. They will break into the Church while bishops, prelates and priests are asleep. They will enter Italy and lay waste Rome. They will burn the churches and destroy everything.”

The word "anti-Semitism" is a monstrous monument of the great nineteenth-century blunder, the habit of talking sham science in order to avoid talking real religion.

On June 18th, I had a text exchange with Charlie Kirk. He said he was spending two full days at the White House trying to persuade President Trump not to initiate a war with Iran.

Given that Charlie was close with the President and that he represented a large constituency essential to Trump, and given that many proponents of the war with Iran saw a U.S. attack as urgently necessary to the survival of Israel, it is reasonable to wonder if his refusal to back down from his steadfast opposition somehow resulted in his murder.

A good investigation could have settled the matter. What we got only increases the reason for concern.

Asking this question may be unforgivable, but it is in no way unreasonable. Charlie was in a strong position to keep us from doing what we have now done, and the timing of his death removed him from the equation and likely changed the course of history--as Charlie himself worried it might.
