Thank you, thank you to those who have responded! Please join them with your donation today. There are some very significant stories today. About a month ago Fr. George Rutler wrote what I believe is an article of exceptional insight and frankness regarding our cultural situation today. Quoting Alexander Solzhenitsyn, he presents a big picture overview of a world, and a Catholic Church, in great crisis made worse now by the re-election of Barack Obama to the presidency. Rutler calls for “freeing the Church from the deadweight of a self-perpetuating bureaucracy myopic to threats on the horizon”. That bureaucracy especially grows from faith-undermining Catholic episcopal conferences (USCCB in US, CCCB in Canada) that have been a huge source of the problem of poor support from Catholic bishops, and Catholics in general, in the culture wars. See also Part V of John Jalsevac’s series on pornography and Hilary White’s further revelationtoday about the hoax of Savita Halappanavar supposedly asking for and being denied an abortion in Ireland that would have supposedly saved her life. And there is much more that I strongly encourage you to read. Steve Jalsevac
