Dylan Mulvaney/Instagram [ https://people.com/bud-light-controversy-everything-to-know-7547159] The  recent survey  of 1,000 Catholics conducted by EWTN News/RealClear Opinion Research revealed that " male Catholic voters favor Trump 49% to 43%."  In a discussion on mainstream pollsters, Mark Wauck  says that there appears to be "skewed" polling that favors Kamala Harris demographics:  Harris "polling, such as it has been, was achieved by outrageously skewed poll demographics. One poll I saw showed a sample that was nearly 2/3 Dems. Obviously, Dem insiders know better what the real numbers are. Perhaps Dem insiders are looking at the numbers that Nate Silver just came up with. Silver shows the polling numbers from just this past week, and compares them to the numbers from mid-August, before the Dem convention. The numbers show Trump’s position slightly improving, and no 'bump' for Kama." [ https://meaninginhistory.substack.com/p/briefly-presidentia

du Maurier @Somethi65907719 Pure moral relativism from the Feser. Trying to question an election because there was likely fraud (mail-in vote shenanigans by Dems using COVID as excuse, etc.) is not in any way or in any universe the equivalent of the Dems’ lawfare tactics. Ludicrous. Quote Edward Feser @FeserEdward · 8h What Trump tried to get Pence to do on January 6, 2021 was a grave affront to the rule of law, but the Democrats’ cynical lawfare tactics are also a grave affront to the rule of law.

 Bishop Strickland: Women who veil at Mass remind us that church is a ‘sacred place’

‘Transgender’ males in conservative Indonesia praise Pope Francis for pro-LGBT ‘message’ Pope Francis this week visited the Archdiocese of Jakarta, which in recent years has been ‘welcoming’ and baptizing gender-confused men who in many cases do not appear to have converted from their transgender lifestyles.

St. King Fernando III just before he was to marry the Princess Beatrice spend the night in prayer to become a Knight. "Kissing the cross, he prayed, ' Christ, my Lord, I am in Thy hands, the same way this sword is in mine. Show me, my King, what Thou wantest of this Thy knight.'"... ... Fernando heard the intimate voice of [Jesus Christ answer him] in his soul that was absolute in absence of all else. 'I want to make your whole life like a representation and marvellous parable so that the coming centuries may contemplate the war that I, Eternal King and Universal Lord, wage against the powers of darkness, to conquer the entire earth for my Father.   Fernando, you will be the noble and considerate king who leads his vassals in this great enterprise, the courageous and mortified King who, above all others, charges ahead in the midst of danger and endures the strain of hard work and the fatigue of battle.  You will be the generous and magnanimous King who in victory

Nashville school shooter’s ‘manifesto’ highlights the destructive nature of porn, sexual confusion

One of the great pleasures and honors of publishing the Catholic Monitor is the interaction in the comment section with good and intelligent Catholics who know philosophy and theology.  Below is a sample of a discussion we had on:  Was Pope John Paul II a Thomist or a Kantian   Phenomenologist?   This discussion is from the  comment section of the September 23 post "John Paul II, Taylor Marshall & Francis' Apparently Pure Kantian/Modernist 'Catholic... Freemasonic Naturalism'": MEwbank  said…  While John Paul ii was, in fact, a very intelligent man, I think his fundamental flaw lay principally in his presumption that his personality and charm could nullify all ill-will and erroneous presumptions in others. However, it is not correct that Gilson's understanding of St. Thomas' acknowledgement of the 'act of being' as the 'act of all acts, the perfection of all perfections' [St. Thomas' own words!] implies that Gilson was an 'exist
