NEA Funds Anti-Christian ‘Jerry Springer’ Play With Taxpayer Money
Deal W. Hudson January 30, 2018 Once again the National Endowment for the Arts is in hot water, and deservedly so. A musical entitled, “Jerry Springer, the Opera,” is now being performed in previews at an off-Broadway theatre, The New Group. The musical is ferociously and deliberately anti-Catholic, while The New Group receives substantial NEA…

Archbishop and Trump May Have Much in Common
Deal W. Hudson November 28, 2017 A few days ago, the archbishop of Canterbury, the Rt. Rev. Justin Welby was asked if he understands why Christians in the U.S. support President Trump in such large numbers. “No, I don’t understand it,” said Welby. “I really, genuinely do not understand where that is coming from.” Nevertheless, there…

Mass Hysteria Driving Attacks on the President
Deal W. Hudson August 30, 2017 I know I am not alone in being bewildered by the daily pummeling of President Trump throughout the media. We are witnessing something more than the usual criticism any politician can expect. Instead, it’s become a kind of madness, where the president can be depicted with his head cut off, standing…

Some Don’t See Blessing in Trump’s Protecting Religious Liberty
Deal W. Hudson May 17, 2017 Some conservatives were less than pleased by President Trump’s May 4 executive order on religious liberty. I guess they didn’t read it very closely. Had they done so, they would have realized that it was a promise of welcome changes to come. It doesn’t declare any new rights, but…

Deal W. Hudson April 5, 2017 President Donald Trump’s executive order to defund the United National Family Planning Agency (UNFPA) sends a message to political foes both on the political left and the right.

Vatican Stance on Procreation Appears at Odds With Church Teaching
Deal W. Hudson March 7, 2017 On March 3, many Catholics were shocked to read that Vatican conference speaker, Peter Raven remarked, “Pope Francis has urged us to have fewer children to make the world more sustainable.” The notion that the Pope would say such a thing strained credulity. However, the clarification published three days later does not put…

Catholic Professor Declares ‘Trumpism’ a New Heresy
Out of the stunned disbelief of the Catholic Left at Donald Trump’s victory comes the serious suggestion that Catholic supporters of Trump’s “America First” should be considered heretics. For all you non-Catholics, I will explain that to be declared a heretic means to become ex-communicated, that is, separated from the Church, God, and salvation. In other words,…

Bishops Losing Their Moral Authority With Trump Rhetoric
Deal W. Hudson February 6, 2017 During the 2016 election, I watched with disbelief, as all but a few Catholic bishops said nothing — in complicit silence — as Hillary Clinton, aggressively pro-abortion, ran for president. All the bishops did was attack Donald Trump on immigration and his promise to build a wall on the Mexican border.…
