Homosexual and Transgender Activists Seek to Re-Construct Social Order

July 24, 2019 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

trans-activism

Homosexual and trans activists intend to reconstruct the social order—that’s the bottom line. Their key tools for bringing this about are the indoctrination of children in public schools, the media and film industries, political influence, sympathetic legislators, and judges who will enshrine their relativistic agendas into law. But that’s not all. Their trump card is a hyper-sexualized culture.

Sit at The Master’s Feet, as Did Mary, and Choose The Better Part

July 20, 2019 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

Sit at the Master's Feet

Sit at the Master’s feet, as did Mary. She chose the better part because she is seated at the feet of Wisdom Incarnate, Jesus Christ, who is not only the source of all truth but is Truth Itself.

Is The Papacy A Human Invention?

July 10, 2019 by Deacon Frederick Bartels 1 Comment

John Paul II in 1979

Independence Day: The Battle for Freedom Continues

July 4, 2019 by Deacon Frederick Bartels Leave a Comment

America and Freedom

America’s celebration of its victory in the battle for freedom and independence should serve to remind us all that true freedom is under attack today. Secular humanism and the “culture of death” continue to undermine an authentic human freedom.

Pope St. John Paul II:

Jesus Christ meets the man of every age, including our own, with the same words: “You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” These words contain both a fundamental requirement and a warning: the requirement of an honest relationship with regard to truth as a condition for authentic freedom, and the warning to avoid every kind of illusory freedom, every superficial unilateral freedom, every freedom that fails to enter into the whole truth about man and the world.  (Redemptor Hominis No. 12)
