James Comey: A Case for Excommunication

In retaliation for the raids against President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen by Special Counsel Robert Mueller and the FBI, I’m presenting my case why Mueller’s buddy-buddy James Comey should be excommunicated from the Catholic Church. Despite his many flaws, former FBI Director James Comey is a Catholic. Whether he’s a devout Catholic is another story. Comey’s roles in the Hillary Clinton email investigation and the Deep State show that he abused his power in order to undermine and attack the American people. In his years as FBI Director, he made himself the most controversial head of the FBI since J. Edgar Hoover. Comey's downward spiral began in 2016 when he failed to investigate Hillary Clinton for using a private email server to hold classified information, including about her role in the cover-up of the 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi, Libya, which killed four Americans. Any regular American who carried that same information at th...

Local Kansas City parish hosts annual Marian Conference

In “33 Days to Morning Glory,” Father Michael E. Gaitley talks about how Mother Mary wants people to come closer to her son, Jesus, through her. Now, Mother Mary calls us to enter a deeper relationship with her son through the Marian Conference IV of Greater Kansas City. The conference runs from June 22-23 at St. Thomas More Parish, located at 11822 Holmes Rd., Kansas City, MO.  It is the fourth annual Marian conference organized by the volunteers of the Marian Association.  In previous years, the conference was held at St. John Lalond in Blue Springs, MO; Our Lady of Lourdes in Raytown, MO; and St. Robert Bellarmine Church in Blue Springs, MO.   Registration for the conference is free.  Last year’s conference, hosted by St. Robert Bellermine Catholic Church in Blue Springs, MO, received over 400 people in attendance. Julie and Tom Cummings, Promotions Fund Raising Coordinators, expect over 700 people from Kansas a...

Paul Ryan: A Speaker in review

When former House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) made the announcement in September 2015 that he was resigning, Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI) didn't seek to replace him. He didn't ask to be House Speaker. At least not at first. Paul Ryan had to be convinced to accept the nomination for Speaker of the House. His fellow Republicans asked him to run for House Speaker, and he finally agreed. And now he's the unifying leader of the Republican Party. Ryan didn’t seek his position as leader of the House Republicans, but he stepped up into his role like a real man. That statement is bold, but it's true. Ryan was the only person able to unify the different factions within the Republican Party. Yes, Ryan had his work cut out for him. He still does. But he's worked hard to unify a frayed party. Now let's look at some of the things Paul Ryan has accomplished in his two-and-a-half years as House Speaker. 1) Paul Ryan is a pro-life con...

More so-called Catholics that should be excommunicated from the Catholic Church

(This article was originally published on March 16, 2018)  This story is a continuation of my earlier article about so-called “Catholics” whose actions and policies stand against the Catholic Church and its teachings. These people still deserve to be scrutinized for claiming to be good "Catholics" who follow the Catholic faith.   1) Jimmy Kimmel  One thing you might not know about Jimmy Kimmel, the night show host, is that he's Catholic. At least he claims he is. But Kimmel aligns himself with the Liberal Left and alienates conservatives, including Catholics who have conservative beliefs. On August 15, 2017, Kimmel stated that everyone who voted for Trump is an idiot and blamed them for division in the United States.   Kimmel also uses his platform to push forward his own agenda, especially against Catholic beliefs and conservatives, including (you know it) conservative Catholics.  At the 2018 Academy Awards ceremony, whic...
