Pro Life Prescriptions
Today Dr. Frank Joseph lays out the formula for victory for all Pro-Life Politicians running this Fall which is not to shy away from the abortion issue. Rather, take it and run with it right into office because you've got the pro-aborts in a no-win situation as Dr. Frank illustrates in his column A DNAmite Win-Win Opportunity!

 Simply Sheen
In this issue we bring you a short essay by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen which deals with facing responsibility both with our fellow man and especially before God. If we betray the trust we are given, if we offend the moral order, we must make good. We cannot escape that fact which is vital for a smoother ride both here and in the hereafter. He illustrates this in You cannot escape Reparation!

 Traditional Insights
On Friday Mario Derksen will continue with his series on the The Humanism of John Paul II with his 8th installment in which he explains the true Catholic stance on the Death Penalty and how it has been locked up these days by the constant post-conciliarist preaching against it without realizing what the Church really says. In incarcerating the truths they greatly cloud the Pro-Life issue and dilute the force of stopping abortion from the Pope on down. Could it be because it is not politically correct? See what Mario says in On Death and Life (I). For his column last week, see With a Kiss, Like Judas.

 Shears and Tears of a Lamb
Tuesday Catharine Lamb reminded the reader how much has been lost with the loss of Latin. Lex orandi, lex credendi. With the exodus of the official language of the Church out also went reverence and spiritual discipline. A structured, purposeful direction was abandoned. In place of unity of the universal Church there is now division everywhere, created by the confusion of the wholesale changes wrought by the sorry reforms of Vatican II, reforms that fostered a slothful attitude towards the sacred and profound as Catharine explained in her column From Latin to Lazy.

 Traditional Thought
In Tuesday's issue we presented the second part of a two part eye-opening, excellent essay by Christopher A. Ferrara that first appeared in The Remnant and was reproduced here through the gracious cooperation of editor Michael Matt. Ferrara, who has been on the frontlines and seen it all up close and personal, weighed in on why the increased pressure on Traditionalists by Modern Rome as he brought us an account of what really went on during the emergency synod of American Cardinals at the Vatican last month and what should be done in part two of Pulling the Plug

 Christ or chaos
In Tuesday's issue we brought you a piece by Dr. Thomas Droleskey on a subject he is truly expert in, for when he is not devoting his time to the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts, he is at the Mets games - a familiar fixture for years as the "Lone Ranger." He has written an entertaining and faith-based book on this experience titled "There's No Cure for This Condition" which you can read more about at Chartres Communications. He weighed in on the recent controversy over rumors of Mike Piazza being gay after irresponsible remarks by Mets manager Bobby Valentine. Tom took issue with him in his column Bobby V is Not a Theologian!

 White Smoke, Black Fire!
We continued with the seventh episode of chapter seven in Part III - "The Shadowing." Pat prepares for his evening rendezvous with Karel on the Via Magdalena in tracking down the Legion of the Basilisk, while Swiss Guard Riage Benziger saves his strength to find help later in the evening when he can make it to the main gate and confide in one he trusts as the suspense built further in Episode Seven.

 Catholic PewPOINT
On Monday editor Michael Cain illustrated how the domino effect is toppling the post-conciliar Church and the momentum is picking up with the revelations of the modernists' darling Archbishop Rembert Weakland's sodomy tendencies. The American Church is coming apart at the seams and yet the USCCB continues to ignore the pleas for help, to snub their noses at accredited Catholic organizations whose input would truly help. Instead they have gone into bunker mentality while all around them alien forces of the satanic nature abound. In a comparison to the final episode of the X-Files, Cain showed how the facts can be more bizarre than fiction in his editorial Until the Domino effect completes its sordid run, the Dominus effect won't be effective!

 On the BattleLine
In Monday's issue Atila Sinke Guimarães pointed out how we should be indignant instead of tolerant of the "appalling sin" and no amount of rationalization or excuses can justify the grave offense against God and Catholic doctrine for the sin of sodomy that seems so rampant in the post-conciliar Church today, especially here in the United States. He relied on St. Peter Damian's arguments to reveal the vile vice pedophilia is and that there is precedent for dealing with this problem as Pope Saint Gregory VII proved the clergy could be cleaned up. So also today the same measures are needed as he explained in his column The Modernist Spin on Sodomy

 FOCUS
Monday was Memorial Day in the U.S., a time when we honored those who fell in battle over the two centuries this nation has existed. But that dates back only to 1776. The Roman Catholic Church has existed for 2000 years and there is plenty to remember, plenty of fallen heroes to memorialize. They're called saints. Unlike all other entities, only the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church founded by Christ has survived and will continue to survive no matter what the ramparts of hell throw at the True Church. We presented an anonymous essay, sent to us by www.WhyDoCatholics.com, that so well illustrates how faithful Catholics feel and believe. As the Church Militant we cannot shy away from the battle just when it is heating up. It's part and parcel of being Catholic, of carrying the Cross daily as you could see in the article "An Apology for Our Day" which we titled Bring it on!!!

  Doctors of the Church
Monday's Doctor of the Church was born into a wealthy family and used those riches to receive the finest education at the hands of the world's greatest professors in Rome and then employed that wealth of knowledge for Christ's holy Church. He amassed all of the Scriptures and translated them into the Latin tongue, all wrapped up in the magnificent Latin Vulgate. This masterful Doctor, the "Father of the Mother Tongue" who we featured as the eighth on the chronological list was Saint Jerome
