Twenty years ago on Nov. 9, a captive people of a divided continent literally with their hands dismantled the Berlin Wall. This wall represented not merely the totalitarian tyranny of Soviet Communism, but the eternal ugliness and evil of that inherent disposition in man to deny the freedom of another to live his life as he wishes. A whole generation has come of age since then with insufficient memory,...

In a terrific primer for National Review Online, Fr. Thomas Williams, L.C., explains that from a Catholic perspective, the problems with socialized medicine and ObamaCare aren't limited to abortion, rationing/euthanasia, and the violation of conscience. Here's an excerpt: This uncritical approach certainly doesn’t describe all the bishops, and probably not even the majority. If the bills are...

Every once and a while I want to read a novel that is explicitly Catholic in it's telling and plot and that it is not subtle, but hit you over the head Catholicism. A novel that puts itself in the Culture of Death and tells of the story of Catholics dealing with it. The novel Fatherless is very much in this camp. Though unlike many Christian novels with a message it is quite well written with interesting...

Almost three years after Archbishop Thomas Collins took the helm of Canada's largest local church, this morning Pope Benedict named two auxiliaries for the nearly 2 million-member Toronto archdiocese. Canada's first Asian prelate, Bishop-elect Vincent Nguyen, 43, left his native Vietnam at 18, was ordained in 1998, completed a licentiate in canon law last year and, just last month, was named TO's moderator...

P res. Barack Obama has RSVPed “nein” to Chancellor Merkel’s invitation to Germany to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. National Review Online asked a few experts what this snub reveals about Obama. DINESH D’SOUZA I’m glad Obama is not going. Of course it’s a stupid move for him politically, but I’m all for stupid moves by this...

The First Commandment is “I am the Lord your God; you shall not have other gods besides me.” There are many ways of having false gods. Pope John Paul II once wrote that to think we are the ones who decide whether a child should be created is to say that God is not God. [...]

Ahh the EU is at it again. Father Z has It’s our identity, stupid! . I thinkl Pope John Paul the II made a huge tactical mistake in backing the EU. I think it was naive and based in the goodness of the Pope. He believed that after the fall of communism there would be some new Pentecost in Europe. Now the EU is being used to destroy the Church.

During this era of historical revisionism, when former communist fellow travellers such as Charles Clarke and Peter Mandelson occupy the highest seats in government, it is useful to be reminded - and to remind the young - quite how evil communism was and is. As we celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall 20 years ago this week (thanks, let us not forget, to the leadership and bravery of Ronald Reagan,...
