Free Speech Rights Asserted for Religious Organizations

“The Internal Revenue Service has no legal right to investigate, let alone threaten or penalize, the Catholic Diocese of Peoria for illegal ‘electioneering’ after Bishop Daniel Jenky, C.S.C. referred to policies of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin while delivering a robust, wholly legitimate critique of current federal efforts to quash and curtail religious liberties,” says Tom Brejcha, President of the Thomas More Society.

When ‘Hate’ Isn’t Hate (And ‘Love’ Isn’t Love)

When ‘Hate’ Isn’t Hate (And ‘Love’ Isn’t Love)

You can safely assume you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.” — (Anne Lamott) I came across the above quote recently and was struck by it, though not at all in the way that the author and the person quoting it apparently intended.

Calling a Catholic a Catholic & a Pelosi a Pelosi or Even a Sebelius

It isn’t my place to decide whether Nancy Pelosi remains a Catholic in good standing with the Church itself (or even with God), but it is very difficult not to take note of her very defiant attitude and willingness to show the world how she thinks “she” can pick and choose who speaks for the Church and who defines the rules.
