If a nation has no children, it has no future. The West chooses replacement through migration, we choose our families and our children. That is why we dedicate every possible economic resource to supporting them. Our future will not be imported from abroad. 👶🇭🇺

Regarding Pope Leo’s controversial words and actions this week, many people are either overreacting or underreacting, with both hysterical extremes feeding off of one another. The cycle is routine on social media, and tiresome. The reality, I would say, is this. On the one hand, the impromptu answer the pope gave in response to the question about the Durbin affair was manifestly bad and scandalous. It gave aid and comfort to those who want to minimize the intrinsic and uniquely grave evil of abortion by treating it as merely one of several “life issues,” no more urgent than any other. And in seeming to equate abortion and the death penalty, it gave aid and comfort to those who claim that the death penalty is intrinsically wrong, a position which contradicts scripture and tradition and the adoption of which by the Church would thus undermine her credibility. Even though the pope’s remark was off the cuff and has zero magisterial significance, the average person doesn’t understand that. Popes need to be extremely careful whenever they say anything that touches upon doctrine. It is perfectly legitimate, then, for faithful Catholics respectfully to note the problems with what he said. On the other hand, it is quite absurd to suppose (as some worried Catholics and critics of the Church alike are doing) that this episode in any way casts doubt on Catholic claims about the papacy. Papal statements are infallible only when they are issued ex cathedra, i.e. when in a solemn act a pope formally declares and defines a doctrine as absolutely binding on all Catholics for all time (or, naturally, when he is simply reiterating something that has already been taught infallibly by the Church, as when he discusses Christ’s divinity or original sin or whatever). Ex cathedra statements are very rare. They don’t typically occur even in official teaching documents like encyclicals or catechisms, and they certainly never occur in off the cuff remarks to reporters. So, the fact that the pope said something bad in such a context, while highly regrettable, has exactly zero relevance to questions about papal infallibility. It is also rash confidently to conclude that such off the cuff remarks show how Pope Leo is going to teach when he does issue official magisterial documents (which are all that ultimately matter where doctrinal issues are concerned). Yes, it is possible that the documents that emerge from Leo’s pontificate will be problematic in the way some of the documents issued during Pope Francis’s pontificate were (such as Amoris Laetitia, Fiducia Supplicans, and the 2018 change to the catechism). But this is far from certain, and indeed, I doubt it will happen. Official magisterial documents are of their nature much more cautiously formulated than remarks made in interviews, press conferences, or even homilies and other official public addresses. They are thought through over a long period of time before being promulgated, with multiple people having a hand in composing them, suggesting alterations, and the like. That does not guarantee that they will be unproblematic, as Francis’s pontificate showed. But it does make it more likely that they will be. Much depends on a pope’s personal temperament and vision, and on who he appoints to the DDF. Pope Francis had little patience with theological precision and was keen to shake things up. And, especially later in his pontificate, he appointed people to positions of influence on doctrine who shared these traits. Pope Leo appears to be different. He seems genuinely concerned to restore to the Church the unity that was damaged during Francis’s pontificate, and he seems to have at least a somewhat more academic temperament. That doesn’t mean everything he says off the cuff is going to be well thought out. He was not trained as a Scholastic theologian, and the era in which he was formed was in general not conducive to producing priests and bishops habituated to thinking in a theologically rigorous way. The effects of that era are, regrettably, going to be with us for some time, until the subsequent generation (whose theological formation was generally better) comes to dominate leadership positions in the Church. It does suggest, though, that Leo will be more cautious about who he appoints and about what gets issued by way of official magisterial documents. His appointments to offices relevant to doctrine will be much more indicative of the direction of his pontificate than any impromptu remarks. We will see. What is certain is that while respectful criticism has its place, right now the pope needs our prayers more than such criticism.

I will never forget Charlie’s beaming face, joyfully greeting us backstage at rallies, celebrating this movement and this country. Just seeing him brought such faith and happiness to everyone around him. Charlie personified America. Some of my fondest memories from after the election were working with Charlie in the transition office planning for the new Trump Administration. He was filled with an endless joy and optimism, and an unshakable, iron conviction. He was the rarest combination of talent, character, charisma and unflinching moral resolve. I am so fortunate to have known and worked alongside Charlie, and to have counted him as a treasured and cherished friend. The time I was gifted with him in this world is a blessing for which I am forever grateful. Our hearts ache with the deepest sorrow for Erika and their precious little boy and girl. What they have lost, what they have suffered, is a pain far beyond measure. For as long we live, for all the days that have, we will honor Charlie and uplift his family. And we will turn our anguish into a righteous thunder of action. While Charlie is now in God’s Kingdom, we will complete his life’s noble mission on this earth.

I first met Charlie Kirk about four years ago when I was in Phoenix for a speaking engagement. He reached out and invited me to breakfast. I was deeply impressed by him that day. He was a man of great intelligence, considerable charm, and real goodness of heart.   I reconnected with him just last year, after I saw him debate twenty-five young people who were, to put it mildly, hostile to his views. I texted him that I was so struck by how he kept his cool and his charitable attitude in the face of some pretty obnoxious opposition. I then asked him to appear as a guest on my interview program, “Bishop Barron Presents,” and he eagerly accepted my invitation. He was scheduled to come to Rochester, Minnesota in about ten days. The last contact we had was two nights ago. After I appeared on one of the evening news shows to talk about the Religious Liberty Commission, he texted me and told me how much he appreciated what I said and then added, “I’m excited to join you on your show soon. God bless you.”   That last sentence shows what was most important to Charlie. He was indeed a great debater and also one of the best advocates in our country for civil discourse, but he was, first and last, a passionate Christian. In fact, when we had that breakfast in Phoenix, we didn’t talk much about politics. We talked about theology, in which he had a deep interest, and about Christ. I know I’m joining millions of people around the world in praying that he rests now in the peace of the Lord.

We've been stuck in a connundrum here. Our comics haven't been availlable on digital for about 5 years. There's definitely a way to grow your audience there. But we also haven't been getting pirated because of that (pirates are lazy these days. They just capture digital files). So people have to go physical if they like our brands....

Alexander Hamilton, a Founding Father of the United States and an immigrant himself, literally warned us about future leaders allowing mass immigration… Reads as if he wrote it for today: “The consequences that must result from a too unqualified admission of foreigners… The safety of the republic depends essentially on the energy of a common National sentiment; on a uniformity of principles and habits; on the exemption of the citizens from foreign bias, and prejudice; and on that love of country which will almost invariably be found to be closely connected with birth, education and family. The mass influx of foreigners must, therefore, tend to produce a heterogeneous compound; to change and corrupt the national spirit; to complicate and confound public opinion; to introduce foreign propensities. In the composition of society, the harmony of the ingredients is all important, and whatever tends to a discordant intermixture must have an injurious tendency. The United States have already felt the evils of incorporating a large number of foreigners into their national mass; it has served very much to divide the community and to distract our councils, by promoting in different classes different predilections in favor of particular foreign nations, and antipathies against others. It has been often likely to compromit the interests of our own country in favor of another. To admit mass foreigners indiscriminately to the rights of citizens, the moment they put foot in our country, would be nothing less, than to admit the Trojan Horse into the Citadel of our Liberty and Sovereignty.”

Today, it was my great honor to sign an Executive Order banning the chemical castration and medical mutilation of innocent children in the United States of America. Our Nation will no longer fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support so-called “gender affirming care,” which has already ruined far too many precious lives. My Order directs Agencies to use every available means to cut off Federal financial participation in institutions which seek to provide these barbaric medical procedures, that should have never been allowed to take place!

Here is the entire passage from the Catechism. Underlined in red are the bits people tend to leave out.
RE immigration, Catholic sites tend to quote the first part of CCC 2241, about the duty of rich countries to welcome immigrants, while omitting the second part, which is about rulers and the duties of people migrating (or wanting to migrate). IMO separating these is very bad.

Our Country is a disaster, a laughing stock all over the World! This is what happens when you have OPEN BORDERS, with weak, ineffective, and virtually nonexistent leadership. The DOJ, FBI, and Democrat state and local prosecutors have not done their job. They are incompetent and corrupt, having spent all of their waking hours unlawfully attacking their political opponent, ME, rather than focusing on protecting Americans from the outside and inside violent SCUM that has infiltrated all aspects of our government, and our Nation itself. Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to happen to our Country. The CIA must get involved, NOW, before it is too late. The USA is breaking down - A violent erosion of Safety, National Security, and Democracy is taking place all across our Nation. Only strength and powerful leadership will stop it. See you on January 20th. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
