  • BISHOPS CONFERENCE Press Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE To the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB): "What we hope for from the National Conference Assembly of Bishops in Baltimore on November 12-14, 2018." Leadership from Baltimore area Catholic churches are heartened by the three goals Cardinal Daniel DiNardo announced in his 16 August statement on the measures to be taken by the USCCB and the Holy See to address the moral catastrophe that has overtaken the Church. An open letter created by the St. Ignatius "Women of the New Testament Ministry" has now been sent to DiNardo, Archbishop William Lori, and his auxiliary bishops which proposes further steps in increased accountability and transparency we believe necessary for restoring trust in the bishops and for advancing the reform of the clerical culture of the Church. That letter can be accessed here. We would appreciate your support in this effort as the USCCB gathers in Baltimore on November 12–14 to discuss "stronger protections against predators in the Church and anyone who would conceal them, protections that will hold bishops to the highest standards of transparency and accountability." If you agree with what is proposed in the open letter, would you please share it with friends at parishes and ask them to support this effort? This can be accomplished by doing the following: 1. Print out letter (upload letter) 2. Sign it 3. Mail it to Cardinal DiNardo at the address listed in letter. For the maximum impression, the letters should be received by Cardinal DiNardo before the Conference begins. The Conference will be held at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront.

  • Letter of His Holiness Pope Francis to the People of God
    Letter of His Holiness Pope Francis to the People of God August 20, 2018 “If one member suffers, all suffer together with it” (1 Cor 12:26). These words of Saint Paul forcefully echo in my heart as I acknowledge once more the suffering endured by many minors due to sexual abuse, the abuse of power and the abuse of conscience perpetrated by a significant number of clerics and consecrated persons. Crimes that inflict deep wounds of pain and powerlessness, primarily among the victims, but also in their family members and in the larger community of believers and nonbelievers alike. Looking back to the past, no effort to beg pardon and to seek to repair the harm done will ever be sufficient. Looking ahead to the future, no effort must be spared to create a culture able to prevent such situations from happening, but also to prevent the possibility of their being covered up and perpetuated. The pain of the victims and their families is also our pain, and so it is urgent that we once more reaffirm our commitment to ensure the protection of minors and of vulnerable adults. 1. If one member suffers… In recent days, a report was made public which detailed the experiences of at least a thousand survivors, victims of sexual abuse, the abuse of power and of conscience at the hands of priests over a period of approximately seventy years. Even though it can be said that most of these cases belong to the past, nonetheless as time goes on we have come to know the pain of many of the victims.

  • THE VORTEX Moving the Needle September 2, 2014
    THE VORTEX Moving the Needle September 2, 2014 Hello everyone and welcome to The Vortex, where lies and falsehoods are trapped and exposed. I’m Michael Voris. It is the duty of every Catholic these days who considers himself faithful to try and move the needle—to become a counter-revolutionary INSIDE the Church. If you are the sort of Catholic who has been asleep in the pews at any point during the past fifty years—as everyone who works here at ChurchMilitant.TV once was themselves —don’t feel bad or weirded out. You are like the vast majority of Catholics who have been lulled into a sense of complacency and indifference by leaders in the Church. Among many of these leaders, the older ones were the revolutionaries, or the disciples of the revolutionaries, and they have taken control of many aspects of Church life. That was a generation or so ago—stretching back to the 1970s to 1990s. Their names are well known: men like Cardinal Joseph Bernardin of Chicago, Cardinal Roger Mahony of Los Angeles, Archbishop John Quinn of San Francisco, Cardinal John Dearden of Detroit, Archbishop Rembert Weakland of Milwaukee (an openly active homosexual), Bishop Howard Hubbard of Albany, New York, Bishop Matthew Clark of Rochester, New York, Cardinal Theodore McCarrick of Washington, DC. These were the marquee name destroyers of Catholic tradition, but they had MANY other allies in the US episcopate and lower clergy in those halcyon years. In diocese after diocese, they tore the Church apart, introducing innovation after innovation meant to dislodge the Church from its traditional moorings.

  • Report on Key Findings in Correspondence Concerning Theodore E
    Report on Key Findings in Correspondence Concerning Theodore E. McCarrick “Follow the Path of Truth Wherever it May Lead” May 28, 2019 he former Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick ordained me to the priesthood 25 years ago today. TI served as his personal secretary in the Archdiocese of Newark (September 1994 – June 1995) and also assisted him in a secretarial capacity during his many visits to Rome in my 19 years of ministry there. After long consideration, I have made the decision to place in the public domain some of the correspondence and other information related to McCarrick that I possess in my many years of service to him. I have spent time in prayer and discernment about the moral basis for revealing these. My decision follows attempts since September 2018 to share and discuss these with the Holy See and other Church leaders. Realizing full well that the debate about McCarrick has become highly politicized, I wish only to present facts that will help the Church to know the truth. From the outset of this report, I pledge my unswerving affection, loyalty and support for Pope Francis and his Magisterium in his tireless ministry as the Successor of Peter, as I manifested also to Pope Benedict XVI, grateful for their paternal solicitude and efforts to address the scourge of abuse. Indeed, my actions in releasing this report at this time are encouraged by the Holy Father’s motu proprio “Vos Estis Lux Mundi” (“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” Mt 5:14), based on the overriding principle that it is imperative to place in the public domain, at the right time and prudently, information that has yet to come to light and impacts directly on allegations of criminal activity, the restrictions imposed on my now laicized former Archbishop, and who knew what and when.

Cardinal O’Malley has been a member of the foundation’s board for 12 years.

The Philadelphia-based Papal Foundation gives grants in support of projects and proposals recommended by the Holy See. Since 1990, the foundation has given over $100 million in grants in service to the Catholic Church. Cardinal O’Malley praised the work of the foundation, through whose grants, he said, “families and individuals in underserved areas around the world have experienced profound improvements in their lives.” “Churches, education and health care pro- grams, evangelization and vocation efforts all have been made possible through the extraordi- nary generosity of the women and men who work closely with the Holy See in providing funding for our brothers and sisters in need,” he stated.
