REDEEM TEAM: [8:14] – In this video, Fr. Mike Schmitz simplifies the complex theology behind the Immaculate Conception. Mama Buzz just sent this to me and I loved it, so here it is.

Obviously, I want my fellow Catholics to watch it. I taught RCIA for 5 years and I still learned some cool stuff!

But I also hope my precious non-Catholic readers will watch it too. I’m not out to proselytize anybody; I sincerely believe we should each be in the church the Holy Spirit chooses.

I’m not looking for anyone to assent to the doctrine, but rather just to accurately understand it.

There’s far too much “fake news” out there about Catholic doctrine.  I believe this hinders us from being strong allies in this spiritual war we’re fighting.

From Liz Crokin at Townhall –

Donald Trump is a racist, bigot, sexist, xenophobe, anti-Semitic and Islamophobe — did I miss anything? The left and the media launch these hideous kinds of attacks at Trump everyday; yet, nothing could be further from the truth about the real estate mogul. As an entertainment journalist, I’ve had the opportunity to cover Trump for over a decade, and in all my years covering him I’ve never heard anything negative about the man until he announced he was running for president. Keep in mind, I got paid a lot of money to dig up dirt on celebrities like Trump for a living so a scandalous story on the famous billionaire could’ve potentially sold a lot of magazines and would’ve been a “yuge” feather in my cap. Instead, I found that he doesn’t drink alcohol or do drugs, he’s a hardworking businessman and totally devoted to his beloved wife and children. On top of that, he’s one of the most generous celebrities in the world with a heart filled with more gold than his $100 million New York penthouse. Continue reading →

It is important for voting Catholics to understand the difference between these two things.

• Prudential Judgment: The debate on how best to address the issue is open to discussion.
• Intrinsic Evil: This thing is always and everywhere wrong.

Issues involving prudential judgment are NOT MORALLY EQUIVALENT to issues involving intrinsic evil.

How we should address issues like immigration, healthcare, the economy and its solvency, care and concern for the poor, the war on terror, climate change, etc. are matters of prudential judgment.

Abortion and euthanasia are intrinsic evils.
