Excerpts from Politicians and Holy Communion –
Most Reverend Rene Henry Gracida, DD The controversy over denying Holy Communion to pro-abortion politicians has generated a lot of heat and very little light. Sacred Scripture and the Magisterium of the Church have spoken clearly on the subject, but some either do not understand what has been said, or worse, have chosen to ignore […]

Abraham Lincoln, letter to Joshua Speed, August 24, 1855
“I am not a Know-Nothing. That is certain. How could I be? How can anyone who abhors the oppression of negroes, be in favor of degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we begin by declaring that ‘all men are created equal.’ We […]

Are there not many truly Christian passages in his writings such as “Armed resistance can in no way be reconciled with Scripture”? But he […]
