Pope Leo XIV has spoken warmly about the relationship between Muslims and Christians and downplaying fears of Islamization.

During his recent international trip to Turkey and Lebanon, the Pope gave a speech at an interfaith meeting held at Martyrs’ Square in Beirut.

“Dear friends, your presence here today, in this extraordinary place where minarets and bell towers stand side by side, yet both soar toward the heavens, testifies to the enduring faith of this land and the persistent dedication of its people to the one God,” Leo said, speaking about the relationship of Christianity and Islam in the country.

“Here in this beloved land,” the Pope continued, “may every bell toll, every adhān [Islamic call to prayer], every call to prayer blend into a single, soaring hymn – not only to glorify the merciful Creator of heaven and earth, but also to lift a heartfelt prayer for the divine gift of peace.”

Former Abortion Clinic Worker: Women Deliver Fully Formed Babies, Flush Them Down the Toilet– www.lifenews.com

A former Planned Parenthood director who spent 17 years working at abortion clinics has come forward with harrowing accounts of women delivering fully formed babies after taking abortion pills.

She says they are told to flush the remains down the toilet, confirming the abortion procedure’s deadly toll on unborn children and its devastating physical and emotional harm to mothers.

Mayra Rodriguez, who directed Planned Parenthood clinics in Texas and New Mexico, shared her experiences in a video testimony released Thursday by the group Stop Coerced Abortion. Rodriguez, now a witness in a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz accusing the state of coercing women into abortions in violation of their 14th Amendment rights and the Equal Protection Clause for unborn children, described the abortion pill regimen. She said mifepristone, followed by misoprostol, starves the unborn child to death by cutting off nutrients before inducing labor to expel the remains of the baby.

The Supreme Court heard a case today involving First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, a pro-life Christian ministry in New Jersey that has spent four decades serving women facing unplanned pregnancies.

In First Choice Women’s Resource Centers v. Platkin, the state’s attorney general tried to force First Choice to disclose how it applies its statement of faith to employees and volunteers, trains its staff to interact with expectant mothers consistent with its religious mission, collaborates with churches to support its ministry, relates to other pro-life organizations, and how it explains what God is doing in its ministry—without a single complaint or any evidence of wrongdoing.

What’s more, New Jersey insists that First Choice has no right to federal court review before being forced to expose its mission to state scrutiny. Becket filed a friend-of-the-court brief asking the Justices to protect religious ministries like First Choice from invasive government efforts to interrogate them because of their religiously inspired ministries.

Texas Governor Accuses Islamists of Running Illegal Sharia Courts

Republican Greg Abbot of Texas is calling for a criminal investigation into Islamists operating Sharia courts illegally on Texas soil. Abbot wrote to Texas AG Ken Paxton and relevant law officials, “It has come to my attention that certain entities in Texas—including in Collin and Dallas Counties—may be masquerading as legal “courts” staffed with “judges” issuing orders that purportedly carry the authority to bind individuals to Islamic codes, thereby preempting state and federal laws. Such practices appear to cross the line from permissible internal religious decision-making to violations of state criminal laws.”

We applaud Governor Abbott for addressing this oppressive, parallel government operating in our midst. Under Islamic law, there is no equality for all before the law.

Muslims are the only immigrant group who come to the West with a ready made model of society they believe to be superior to Western law and they work furiously, by all means, to impose it. Under Islam, shariah (Islamic) law supersedes Western law. Anywhere Western law and Shariah law conflict, it is always Western law that must give way. What those of us working in defense of freedom did not expect, was the craven capitulation and cowardice by Western left elites to Islamic supremacy.

The North Dakota Supreme Court on Friday restored a near-total ban on abortions, delivering a major victory for pro-life advocates who hailed the decision as a critical step in safeguarding unborn children across the state.

In a 3-2 ruling, the high court found that the state’s pro-life law banning abortions, enacted by the Legislature in 2023, remains constitutional, rejecting a lower court’s earlier decision to strike down the law.

The measure, Senate Bill 2150, classifies killing a baby in an abortion as a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Exceptions are permitted only to save a patient’s life or protect their health, and such rare abortions must occur in hospital settings.

New York Times Houston bureau chief J. David Goodman sounded aggrieved in his Texas-based story in Wednesday’s paper, “Texas Declares Muslim Civil Rights Group a Terrorist.” This is how liberal papers routinely describe leftist agitators. They’re “civil rights groups.”

As for the phrase “Muslim Civil Rights Group,” the Times is actually talking about the Council for American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Hamas-linked Islamic pressure group. “Civil rights group” should not describe a radical group whose national executive director Nihad Awad declared himself happy about the October 7 massacre by Hamas — a story covered by the Times in December 2023 but ignored in this new story. “I was happy to see people breaking the siege and throwing down the shackles of their own land,” Awad said.

Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas declared on Tuesday that one of the nation’s largest Muslim advocacy and civil rights groups is a foreign terrorist organization, saying the move will prohibit the organization from acquiring land in Texas and authorize the state attorney general “to sue to shut them down” in Texas.

In his declaration, Mr. Abbott said that the group, the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations, had direct ties to Hamas, which has been designated as a terrorist group by the U.S. government. The nonprofit, known by its initials, CAIR, has denied having any such ties.

The mainstreaming of LGBT ideology on the big and small screen was not accidental.

Without mentioning U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration by name, 216 of 224 bishops voted in favour of releasing the message that condemned the “vilification” of migrants and expressed concerns over the fear and anxiety immigration raids have sown in communities, as well as the denial of pastoral care to migrants in detention centres.

Speaking to reporters late Tuesday as he left the papal country house south of Rome, Leo urged Catholics and all people of goodwill to listen to what they said.

“I think we have to look for ways of treating people humanely, treating people with the dignity that they have,” he said. “If people are in the United States illegally, there are ways to treat that. There are courts, there’s a system of justice.”

Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway filed a federal lawsuit Thursday challenging the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of a new generic version of the abortion drug mifepristone.

Hanaway is arguing that the decision endangers women by allowing unchecked mail-order distribution without basic medical safeguards.

The suit, joined by Kansas and Idaho, seeks to block the September 30 approval of the generic product from Evita Solutions and restore pre-2016 safety standards for the drug, including requirements for in-person medical evaluations to detect life-threatening conditions like ectopic pregnancies.

Hanaway, a Republican, said the lawsuit supports Missouri’s ongoing multi-state challenge against the FDA’s rollback of safety protections mandated by Congress for mifepristone, which is used in the abortions. The abortion pill has killed multiple women and injured countless thousands.

TST, based in Massachusetts, has made it very clear that they view abortion as a religious right and a “sacrament.” In Idaho, they filed suit against the state’s anti-abortion laws on the grounds of religious freedom. According to the Idaho Statesman, the suit claimed “The ban extracted economic value from pregnant women’s wombs, in violation of the Fifth Amendment; effectively made pregnant women slaves, in violation of the 13th Amendment; gave unconstitutional preferences to rape victims, in violation of the 14th Amendment; and violated Idaho’s religious freedom statutes.”

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the German theologian and fierce anti-Nazi, a man so dangerous to the Nazi movement that he was one of the last people they killed lest he taste liberation, was a man of extraordinary moral courage. For Tucker Carlson, however, he was a failed Christian for having dared to stand up to Hitler (and, probably, for having rescued Jews).

One of the problems with being your own boss is that there’s no one around to stop you when you go too far. Another problem with being rich, famous, and your own boss is that the sycophants in your world will encourage you to go too far, since their entire being is dedicated to saying “yes,” in the hopes that they’ll benefit from your wealth and fame. Maybe that explains Tucker Carlson’s latest madness in attacking Dietrich Bonhoeffer as a bad Christian.

UMich faculty senate urges school to continue performing sex changes for minors

The Faculty Senate at the University of Michigan passed a resolution at its Nov. 3 meeting that pushes the university to resume performing sex changes on minors.

The resolution argues that because “cisgender” patients receive hormone blockers, the university is discriminating against transgender-identifying individuals by refusing to give them care. The resolution does not elaborate further, but could be referring to treatments for precocious puberty, a condition in which young children go through puberty at a very early age.

The university paused “gender-affirming care” at Michigan Medicine for patients under 19 on Aug. 25, due to federal pressure. President Donald Trump signed an executive order in January that threatened loss of federal funding for institutions that failed to eliminate the practice.

The fight is between two people who never married but whose daughter now is nearly a teen. And the coming decision by the Maine Supreme Court will determine if judges in that state can simply overturn the constitutional religious rights of parents.

The battle has been outlined by Liberty Counsel, which explained the judge’s trial court ruling in the dispute between mother and father is well into the extreme range, or beyond.

For example, the judge ruled that the custodial mother “is a fit parent EXCEPT for the fact that she is a Christian.”

The war erupted over the non-custodial father’s opposition to Christianity, specifically demanding to ban his daughter’s attendance at a Christian church.

But, based on the “counsel” to the court from a “Marxist former sociality professor,” the judge said the daughter “cannot associate with any of her church friends or any member of Calvary Chapel Portland.”

“If Ava meets a new friend outside of Calvary and that person begins attending Calvary, Ava must cut ties with that friend.”

Ava cannot attend ANY Christmas, Easter, or any other Christian event or celebration at ANY church, including any wedding, funeral, or even hospital visits with anyone associated with Calvary Chapel.”

A federal judge smacked down a Texas law that ordered every public school classroom to display the Ten Commandments, ruling the mandate unconstitutional and handing a win to the groups that sued to block it.

U.S. District Judge Orlando L. Garcia said Senate Bill 10 trampled the Establishment Clause, which bars the government from endorsing religion. His order forces the districts named in the lawsuit to strip the displays by Dec. 1.

Plaintiff Lenee Bien-Willner, a Jewish parent, said she was “relieved” by the decision. “I am relieved that as a result of today’s ruling, my children, who are among a small number of Jewish children at their schools, will no longer be continually subjected to religious displays,” she said. “The government has no business interfering with parental decisions about matters of faith.”

The ruling covers the Comal, Georgetown, Conroe, Flour Bluff, Fort Worth, Arlington, McKinney, Frisco, Northwest, Azle, Rockwall, Lovejoy, Mansfield and McAllen districts. But the ACLU, the ACLU of Texas, Americans United for Separation of Church and State and the Freedom From Religion Foundation are urging all schools to ignore the state’s order.

STORY-AT-A-GLANCE

  1. The proposal to institutionalize informal relationships in Poland would not solve any real social problem – all the necessary legal instruments for such relationships already exist.
  2. In Western countries, interest in same-sex civil partnerships is extremely low, which proves that it does not stem from a genuine social need but from an ideological agenda.
  3. Granting unmarried couples marital privileges constitutes an injustice toward married couples who raise children and bear the social costs of procreation.
  4. The goal of the draft bill announced by the governing coalition is not so much “protecting relationships” as the weakening and relativization of the institutions of marriage and the family.
  5. Introducing an alternative to marriage leads to a further decline in the birth rate and a blurring of the concept of the family.
  6. This is only the first step toward granting same-sex couples the right to adopt children, and then toward recognizing all forms of cohabitation, including “multi-parent” families, where a child may have, for example, three “fathers.”
