British body modification artist spends thousands to transform - into THE DEVIL

By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | February 13, 2014

Spending thousands of dollars to get his tongue forked, his teeth turned into razor-sharp fangs and horns that poke from his forehead, 43-year-old Diablo Delenfer from Kent has spent thousands of dollars, or £10,000 to transform him into a living, breathing minion from hell.

New theory from scientists now say that Turin Shroud could be REAL

By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | February 13, 2014

Carbon dating tests conducted in 1988 on the Shroud of Turin suggested the cloth was only 728 years old, and therefore the faint apparition of a crucified man - believed to be Jesus Christ, was likely to be a forgery. Now, scientists say an earthquake back in 33 A.D. may have confused carbon dating techniques - and the released radiation could be responsible for the image on the cloth.

Can Barbara Comstock Explain Her Abortion Vote?

By Deal W. Hudson | February 13, 2014

I removed my original article on Comstock from Catholic Online in order to give myself time to consider her "veto session" explanation. Having considered it, I find it not only inadequate but a sad reminder of the kind of explanation used by Rep. Bart Stupak when he backed down on his opposition to abortion funding in the health care bill.I've been told, publicly and privately, that I'm making it easier for a Democrat to win the 10th Congressional District, that Comstock is "electable," and so forth. As a Catholic commentator on politics, my obligation is to press hard on precisely these kinds of inconsistencies in the records and platforms of Catholic politicians.

We Need Faithful Catholics To Run for Office Who Are Morally Coherent and Courageous

By Keith A. Fournier | February 13, 2014

Those who know that there is a moral basis to a free society - and that we have lost our moral compass - know that the economic crisis has a moral foundation. There are few Catholics, or other Christians, in public life who still have the courage to say so. After all, saying so opens one to the perfidious attacks of a chattering media class, taken with themselves, who love to disparage those who do not buy their propaganda. It takes courage to stand up to bullies.

Are you a good Samaritan? Here's a simple test

By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | February 12, 2014

How many people really care? Are you a caring person? Pope Francis spoke last year about the Good Samaritan as a person who cared. We'd all like to think we fit into this category, but how many of us combine 'Prayer and Action' to truly fill the role the proverbial role?

The Mass as Theophany: Pope Francis Speaks on the Beauty of the Liturgy

By Deacon Keith Fournier | February 12, 2014

Among the critical assessments of the young papacy of Francis is one which claims that he is some sort of liturgical minimalist. In its more judgmental versions, it comes close to implying that he may not does not fully appreciate the beauty of the Liturgy. It is sometimes accompanied by an effort to contrast his style of presiding at Holy Mass with his predecessor, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI as some sort of proof of the claim.I not only reject it, it offends me. Pope Francis celebrates the Liturgy with the simplicity which characterizes his demeanor and points to his charism. He is a man of deep communion with the Lord and his celebration of the Liturgy is beautiful.

Study; Christians are the world's most persecuted religious group

By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | February 10, 2014

A new study by the Pew Research Center found that restrictions, harassment and intimidation towards people of faith increased in every major region of the world in 2012 with the exception of the Americas. Interestingly, the study found that Christians are more likely to be persecuted worldwide than any other religious group.

Putting the Catholic Back in Catholic Action: Bishop Kagan Shows Episcopal Courage

By Deacon Keith Fournier | February 12, 2014

We stand in a social justice tradition which is not left or right, but pro-life, pro-family, pro-freedom, pro-poor and pro-peace. That is why we will never be fully comfortable in any political party. Catholic Social Doctrine is prophetic. In this age of political confusion and cultural collapse, Catholics must put the Catholic back in Catholic Action.

Pope Francis makes a special plea! Are Catholics deaf or will they listen?

By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | February 9, 2014

Pope Francis continues to call for aid to the poor as the holiday season ends. The Holy Father has set a goal to eradicate global hunger by distributing food more equitably around the world and he has called on all faithful Catholics to help. It's a call that can't be answered by a single second collection at Mass.
