An open letter to President Trump

Dear Mr. President, To be honest, I'm not sure you'll ever see this letter. You probably get thousands of letters every day, from supporters and obstructionists alike. You probably have an entire staff sorting and reading the letters themselves. I'm sure you're busy dealing with real-life problems facing our country. But there is another evil threatening America from within. It is the legalization of the killing of unborn children commonly known as abortion. This systematic killing of human beings, the most innocent of all humans, is our modern-day version of the slavery that plagued our nation during the 1800s. Then, just as now, half of this country declares that a number of the people living in this country (yes, I believe wholeheartedly in the sanctity of unborn children) are subhuman; they claim these persons have no value, whether it's by their skin color or their circumstances in life. Planned Parenthood is the greatest ...

Ireland: The Next Rebellion

In 1916, Irish nationalists started the Easter Rebellion as a sign of Irish's strong determination against British tyranny. While they failed, their sacrifice eventually led to the formation of the Republic of Ireland and an end to British rule over the Irish. Now, a hundred-and-two years later, another dictatorship threatens to enslave the Irish people again.  Six days from now, the people of the Republic of Ireland will vote on whether to repeal or keep Ireland's Eighth Amendment on May 25. This law makes abortion illegal in Ireland by recognizing “ the equal right to life of the mother and the unborn child,” except in certain cases when the mother’s life is in danger, according to the National Catholic Register. Already, people have come forward supporting repeal of the Eighth Amendment, including the music band U2 . Others have organized a day of prayer for Ireland on May 13, the Feast Day of Our Lady of Fatima, ...

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...
