As reported in today’s New York Times, “The survey confirms findings from previous studies that the most religiously and politically conservative Americans are those who attend worship [...]

Obama’s Advisory Group M.I.A.

By |2011-09-01T20:51:02-04:00June 10th, 2008|Categories: Chatterbox...|

It looks as though Sen. Barack Obama’s Catholic National Advisory Council is still missing in action. No word from his campaign has come forth providing evidence of its existence, and there is still no mention of the group on its website. Beliefnet spoke to one of the group’s members, an unemployed liberal, and she says she [...]

More Condoms, Please

By |2011-09-01T20:52:31-04:00June 9th, 2008|Categories: Chatterbox...|

Here we go again. More bad news about sexually transmitted diseases is followed by more calls for more condoms. They just don’t get it. One in four—26 percent—of adult New Yorkers have genital herpes (compared to 19 percent nationwide). And who is being hit the hardest?  Homosexuals, blacks and women. Look for some politically correct dope [...]

Archbsp. Chaput Misrepresented by RCs for Obama

By |2017-03-20T17:54:29-04:00May 20th, 2008|Categories: Chatterbox...|

The homepage of a group called Roman Catholics for Obama '08 misrepresents Denver Archbishop Charles Chaput's words on whether Catholics can vote in good conscience for a pro-choice politician. The group quotes the archbishop as saying: "So can a Catholic in good conscience vote for a pro-choice candidate? The answer is: I can't, and I won't. [...]

FAIR Fails Again

By |2017-03-20T17:54:29-04:00May 14th, 2008|Categories: Chatterbox...|

Fairness & Accuracy in Media (FAIR), a liberal media watchdog group,  is now challenging our statement of May 2 calling into question the fairness of its story, “Pope Gets Pass on Church Abuse History.” In that report, FAIR accused then Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) of sending “a letter to church bishops invoking a 1962 [...]

Archbishop Joseph Naumann of Kansas City has stated that Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius should not present herself for Holy Communion. The governor, a Catholic who sits on Sen. Barack Obama’s Catholic National Advisory Council, is a long-time supporter of abortion rights. As Archbishop Naumann recently wrote, Gov. Sebelius’ support for abortion can be seen in her recent [...]
