Maybe Our Lord carved into the earth the words of Deuteronomy 17:7 which states (as the well written article mentions) that only two first-hand witnesses to the crime — in this case adultery — would be allowed to cast the first stone Nobody was eager to admit to being an eye-witness to the adulterous encounter. These upright teachers of the Law would no doubt be quite content to say they were first-hand eye-witnesses to Murder or theft, but evidently not adultery. The "eye-witness" would have to divulge why they were there at the event, and who it was that was witnessed with the woman? To people of High Standing such as the Pharisees, it seems that they were more than willing to heap stones upon the woman - but they were NOT so keen to see the Law was practiced correctly, by admitting they were there as the event was taking place. People would wonder what they were doing there? To admit to being a witness, could place the spotlight on themselves, potentially revealing more than they …More

All Saints… you answered once so please don't answer again. … does anybody know if any apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary ever mentioned abortion since it is the greatest evil in the world? I have never heard of any so I assume that she never mentioned abortion although she is the Protectress of the Unborn. If I am correct about this then the apparitions are suspect.

From Father Gordon J. MacRae: It is of deep concern for any faithful and informed Catholic that the current atmosphere of apparent political vindictiveness at the top echelons of the Church in Rome would cause someone of the stature, integrity and fidelity of Washington, D.C. Msgr. Charles Pope to write this candid assessment of our state of affairs: "With the Pope's most recent dismissal of one of his "enemies" (Card Burke, Bishop Strickland, AB Ganswein, et al.) we are left to ponder just how petty this has become. At some point we are forced to conclude that the Pope is behaving like a bitter, vengeful, and intolerant man through his heavy-handed actions. No accompaniment or going to the margins here! It's "Away with you and off to margins with you." Meanwhile many dissenters and others hostile to the Catholic Faith are welcomed warmly at the Vatican. Believers everywhere are perplexed and saddened. I am told that even many of the Pope's allies are growing concerned and fearful. It …More
