Missouri bishop Robert Finn is an excellent shepherd, teaching truth in an area with many liberals and secularists. They don’t like him and their media works incessantly to undermine him at every opportunity.

Nuns Defend Their Bishop

Thank God for the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles who have spoken out strongly in support of this holy man. LifeSiteNews covers the story very well. BTW, you may know of the nuns from their very popular CDs:

When I hear the phrase “death with dignity” I think of how congress names bills. Often the bills do the opposite of what their titles suggest. This is the same. True death with dignity is remaining in God’s hands and is the opposite of suicide. Christopher Stefanick produced this new video:

We are making a lot of progress in prosthetics, in the range of motion, the compact size and control. This project at John Hopkins is one of several which will control limbs by thought. Yes, reading the person’s mind sufficiently to interpret their intent.

Prosthetics are for species other than human too. Derby was born with deformed front legs but has been helped by 3D printed prosthetics. Such technology will work its way up “the food chain” and help people too.

RACIST. Now that the mid-term elections are over, let’s talk about this. To be honest, words fail me to adequately express how I feel about someone’s belief that others, fully equal in human dignity in the eyes of God, are lesser souls because of their skin color. It seems to me that to call someone a racist is to judge them in a most serious manner. What is more, upon a little reflection, those who do so – objectively viewed – may want to reflect a tad more upon themselves and their motives in this charge that should transcend politics.

Where I stand, liberals and conservatives are EQUAL in their intent toward humanity, all their brothers and sisters. They differ very deeply in how to achieve what, at the end of the day, is the same thing.

The heavily socialist World Social Forum is organized, funded and promoted by socialist and communist governments and organizations. Of course, it is deeply committed to both abortion and homosexuality.

This is bad, but the really bad part is the role the largest Catholic social justice organization plays in WSF. Caritas Internationalis has long been, and continues to be, a member of the WSF governing body. American Life League has done a detailed investigation, producing a 76 page report and summary video on the scandal:

Newman Guide 2015

Choose wisely, the colleges your children attend. Secular and many “Catholic” colleges are places many will loose their faith, replacing it with modernism and relativism. Authentic Catholic colleges exist, but how can you tell? The Cardinal Newman Society publishes an excellent (and honest) annual guide. See their comparison chart of the top 20 colleges for a quick summary.

What do you know about “Common Core”? It is a massive “educational” program being wholeheartedly embraced in many public and private schools. It will change education and the product (our children) of education, yet it was developed outside of the public eye by very private interests. Specifically, by powerful liberal private interests. The result seems less education and greater indoctrination. You should be concerned.

A new documentary has been released on how this has happened – Building the Machine:

Komen

Judy Roberts explains in this National Catholic Register piece why you should NOT support Komen. Supporting research to defeat breast cancer is wonderful and there are worthy organizations who do exactly that. Komen is not one of them. They have been corrupted by Planned Parenthood and re-gift a portion of your donations to the abortion giant.

ISIS has been in the news a lot lately, with all the beheadings, rape, murder and pillage. Not everyone agrees however that they are the greatest threat to world peace. Here, students at an elite liberal university share their enlightened insights:
