St. Michael the Archangel, Defend Us in Battle: Pope Francis Takes on the Devil By Deacon Keith Fournier | May 16, 2014 Now the new People of God is the Church. That is the reason she considers him her protector and support in all her struggles for the defense and expansion of the kingdom of God on earth. It is true that \"the powers of death shall not prevail\", as the Lord assured (Mt 16:18), but this does not mean that we are exempt from trials and battles against the snares of the evil one.In this struggle the Archangel Michael stands alongside the Church to defend her against all the iniquities of the age, to help believers to resist the devil, who \"prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour\" (1 Petr 5:8).\" This battle against the devil which characterizes the Archangel Michael is still going on, because the devil is still alive and at work in world. In fact, the evil that is in it, the disorder we see in society, the infidelity of man, the interior fragmentation of which he is a victim, are not merely the consequences of original sin, but also the effect of the dark and infesting activity of Satan, of this saboteur of man\'s moral equilibrium. - St John Paul II Continue Reading... Pope Francis on the Spiritual Gift of Fortitude and the Hidden Saints Among Us By Pope Francis | May 15, 2014 Let us thank the Lord for these Christians who are the hidden saints among us. It is the Spirit within who carries them forward and it would do us good to think of these people. If they do this, if they can do this then why not me and we ask the Lord to give us the gift of fortitude. - Pope Francis Continue Reading... Kianna's 'friend' makes his intentions clear - Part III By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | May 16, 2014 Kianna found herself on the leather car seat of her newfound friend's Mercedes, a man as old as her lost father.

Homosexual Activists, the Anti-Marriage Movement and the Rise of the Freedom Loving Dignitarians By Deacon Keith Fournier | May 16, 2014 I am joining with Christians from across the confessional spectrum to defend marriage and the family and society founded upon it because our cause serves the common good of society.We have common roots and a common task in this urgent hour. We are emerging as a new freedom movement. It is truth which sets men, women and Nations free. A truly free society must be committed to core moral principles or it loses its freedom, even if it still mouths the word. It actually forges its own shackles while purporting to be breaking them. History books are filled with the sad stories of Nations and civilizations who no longer exist as a result of this error. We are Freedom Loving Dignitarians. Our defense of life, like our defense of marriage, is rooted in our conviction concerning human dignity and true freedom. It flows from our conviction concerning the necessity of connecting freedom and objective moral truth. Continue Reading...

Starving and destitute, Kianna meets a very special 'friend' - Part II By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | May 4, 2014 Kianna made her way to the marketplace, walking unpaved, dirt roads. It would be here she would spend the day panhandling for coins in order to buy food for her brothers and ailing mother. She had taken to stealing bits of food from stalls recently, but she knew that this was wrong. If she was to be caught, angry shopkeepers would beat her as an example to all the other street urchins. Kianna reached the main part of the street, and saw lots of familiar faces - there were untold other children just like her, all vying for the same limited amount of money doled out by shoppers.
