Catholic bishops forget that Biden is President-elect, not Pope-elect

This article contains news and liberal commentary. Joe Biden is about to become America’s second Catholic president.

What a Trumper thinks of Biden voters

The author of this Facebook post (photo below) was a dean and professor of business at a private college, Virginia Wesleyan University, but no longer works there. Read story here and here. As for me, a Biden voter, if this man has any standards I’d like to know what they are, because the man h[...]

SUNDAY REVELATIONS:Of Nuns And Popes

Is Pope Frank for Real? In 2012, the Vatican accused U.S. nuns of taking up  such “radical feminist themes” as social welfare and political action.  The Romans saw  income inequality as a distraction from Roman Catholicism’s issues of contraception, abortion and same-sex marriage. There[...]

Paula White’s rant for the ages (video)

Don’t miss this classic rant by Trump’s spiritual adviser! Question, though: Is God on her side? She isn’t the first person to blithely make that assumption (details here). Return to The-Ave.US Home Page[...]

SUNDAY REVELATIONS: Has Jesus Been Reborn?

Has Jesus been Reborn? About six years ago a 10-year-old girl was raped. This “Maria” may have fulfilled the prophecy of a virgin birth since she was too young for normal birth and was forced to give birth via C-section. We do not yet know if Maria’s son is the second coming.  CHU[...]

SUNDAY REVELATIONS: HYPOCRISY IN STATUES

DOES INERRANCY REQUIRE HYPOCRISY? The Vatican unveiled its first new statue for St. Peter’s in 300 years.  To be honest the statue seems to me to be fairly ugly .. a monstrous brick of bronzed poor people, crowded together amidst the glorified statues of saints and popes.  The message, to me[...]

“Defeat the Right in Three Minutes” by Conceptual Guerilla

Introduction: This article is a classic I first read many years ago. It’s still on the internet, but getting harder to find, so I decided to archive it on this blog to help preserve it. I hope the author doesn’t mind (I’m pretty sure he won’t). This version came from a third-[...]

Report: Trump mocks evangelicals behind their backs

Trump counts evangelicals among his staunchest supporters, but mocks them behind their backs. Asked about it, a White House flack said, “The president is … well known for joking and his terrific sense of humor.” Huh??? Trump has a sense of humor? Trump refers to evangelical leader[...]

Public supports Roe v. Wade

An NBC News/Survey Monkey poll that asked people whether the Supreme Court should completely overturn Roe v. Wade found support for that was fairly weak even among Republicans, while the rest of the public strongly opposes doing away with abortion rights (read story here): General Public Yes —[...]
