One Reason that Abuse Accusations are as Few as They are …
… is this approach to addressing them. The article calls him a “former … priest” and “ex-priest,” but that’s not really possible. He’s presumably not serving in his capacity as priest, however. Apparently, he will be in jail for the next 15 years. The full story of his abuse and the Roman hierarchy’s actions in…

Don’t Mention God’s Law, Because It’s About the Gospel!
True antinomians would simply deny that God’s law has any force. Homiletic antinomians would make a comment like the title of this post. Those who have been influenced by a Lutheran division between “Law” and “Gospel” may even go so far as to suggest that preaching God’s law is actually detrimental to preaching the gospel.…

Just as Expected …
I wish this were only a April 1st hoax, but sadly Muslims have killed completely innocent men in retaliation for the burning of a Koran on another continent (link). And, of course, Muslims were the first to burn the Koran (apparently), as explained in the following video which, though a little tongue-in-cheek, also has a…

Kermit Gosnell
Apparently Dr. Gosnell has been charged with murder on the basis that 7 of the children he was paid to kill were born before he killed them (link to story). As far as I know, the mothers of the children have not been charged. To God be the Glory!

World’s Worst Serial Killer

Murder Update – Tiller Receives Justice
Apparently George Tiller, a notorious murderer of children, was himself murdered by an unknown assailant. It was wrong of the assailant to do this, and yet I rejoice that this killer of children has received substantive (though not procedural) justice that he would not have received under the laws of the place where he was.…

The Editor-in-chief of the Vatican newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano said it, so it must be true
The Editor-in-chief of the Vatican newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano has claimed that President Barack Husein Obama “is not a pro-abortion president.” (link) If this is where Benedict XVI is getting his information about the American president (and I’m sure folks will assure me that the pope has other sources than the Vatican newspaper), then it would…

>Archbishop Rino Fisichella and Excommunication for Abortion
>In a letter that certainly surprised me, Roman Catholic Archbishop Rino Fisichella criticized the equal application of his own church’s law in the case of a young Brazilian girl who received an abortion (link to story about letter). Apparently, Mr. Fisichella believes that excommunication should not be automatic, since he believes that the murder of…

Death of a Non-Martyr
There is some very deplorable and evil violence taking place in India. Non-Christians are attacking and killing people and institutions that they believe are Christian. Some time ago I had mentioned that simply being a nun didn’t make one a Christian, and that consequently I would not automatically consider a nun who was apparently killed…
