POPE BONIFACE VI AND POPE STEPHEN VI
By Debra Booton McCoy
We last left Pope Formosus in a desperate situation. He had been pressed into crowning young Lambert, son of Duke Guy of Spoleto, emperor.

The New York Times are A-Changing

I recently read a book about the D-Day invasion of Normandy, one of the major turning points of World War II. On June 7, 1944, the day after D-Day, the New York Times ran a lead editorial, which read in part, “We pray for the boys we know and for millions of unknown boys who are equally a part of us….We pray for our country.” Then the editorial said the cause for which the U.S. military was fighti

Hypocrisy In The Pews
By Margaret LaCovara-Reveira
During the confirmation hearings for Justice Brett Kavanaugh, I perused through my Facebook newsfeed and was grieved to notice that a worship leader at my husband’s non-denominational church...one who deliberately inputs the theatrical in public expressions of praise...had cheered on a leftist New Jersey senator in his dramatic rantings.
