Two Videos - Catholic and Evangelical - One Message

Before November's election, one of the following videos should be on every Christian website in America.  Before we "vote our values," however, Americans must "humble themselves and pray and seek His face and turn from their wicked ways."  Having done that, America will rekindle her light to the world and renew the covenant of two centuries.

On the Chick-fil-A Front of the Culture War

By Patrick J. Buchanan

Two weeks ago, Dan Cathy, CEO of Chick-fil-A, an Atlanta company famous for its juicy chicken sandwiches, appeared on "The Ken Coleman Show" to air his biblical belief that those who champion same-sex marriage are risking divine retribution upon us all.

"We are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say, 'We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,'" said Cathy. "I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to define what marriage is about."

What Can We Do to Help Our Christian Brethren in the Middle East?

Praying for them, and the invocation of Saint Charbel, may be a good way to start

From The Catholic Herald (UK)

By Father Alexander Lucie-Smith

Over the next few Sundays the gospel readings are taken from the sixth chapter of St John, which is usually known as the Eucharistic Discourse. This means that for the next few weeks every priest in the land will have to preach about the Holy Eucharist and allied topics, and as I myself contemplated this task I thought of all the saints who, in various ways, have deepened our understanding of the Eucharistic miracle.

The first that came to mind was, paradoxically, for he is not very well known in England, Saint Charbel (sometimes spelled Sharbel) Makhluf. I first came across devotion to saint Charbel in Lebanon, his native land. Wherever you go in the Christian parts of Lebanon, there you see Saint Charbel’s picture. The iconography is unmistakeable: he is wearing his monk’s habit, and his eyes are cast down.
