The Best Catholic Television on the Internet

… on the internet

“Brief history lesson (and not on the history of Communion in the hand or the history of the Church Herself) about ChurchMilitant.com. (Also tangential reference to an island micronation. Stick with me; it’ll make sense.)

ChurchMilitant.com used to be called ChurchMilitant.TV. The “.TV” suffix (or top-level-domain, for those of you familiar with internet nomenclature) officially doesn’t actually denote television. Rather, it is the ISO 3166 Code of the little Polynesian island of Tuvalu, a former British colony in the Pacific. The general rule for national internet TLDs is for them to follow the ISO Code for the country. Tuvalu realized, quickly, they were sitting on a potential digital goldmine and immediately started selling “.TV” domains to television, rather than Tuvaluan, organizations. “.TV” at the end of a domain quickly came to denote “television.” Tuvalu counted its broadcast dollars and went back to enjoying the Pacific sun.

That was the tangential reference. Now back to history

ChurchMilitant.com has much more than just news

California Pro-Life Centers Challenge Abortion Notification Law

SAN FRANCISCO (ChurchMilitant.com) – Three pro-life abortion crisis pregnancy centers are fighting a California law forcing them to promote abortion.

A brief was filed in federal court Wednesday by the Liberty Council on behalf of three pro-life clinis: His Nesting Place in Long Beach, Pregnancy and Family Resource Center in San Bernardino, and Birth Choice of the Desert in La Quinta. The lawsuit alleges Assembly Bill 775 (AB 775) violates their First Amendment rights of free speech and freedom of religion.

AB 775 — also called the Reproductive Freedom, Accountability, Comprehensive Care and Transparency (FACT) Act — was passed in November 2015 and became law on January 1. It forces all pro-life centers in California to post a notice announcing: “This facility is not licensed as a medical facility by the State of California and has no licensed medical provider who provides or directly supervises the provision of services.”

Arkansas Catholic Schools Quash LGBT Agenda

The diocese of Little Rock, headed by Bp. Anthony Taylor, covers the entire state. As this school year gets underway, Taylor is trying put all Catholic schools on the same page.

The policy makes it clear that students will present themselves in accord with their biological sex in “school athletics; school-sponsored dances; dress and uniform policies; the use of changing facilities, showers, locker rooms, and bathrooms … titles, names, and pronouns; and official school documents.”

If the directives are not followed, the diocesan addendum makes it clear that the student will be expelled.

If the student’s expression of gender, sexual identity, or sexuality … should mislead others, or cause scandal, or have the potential to cause scandal, then the matter will first be discussed with the student and his/her parents. If the issue is not resolved to the satisfaction of the school, whose primary goal must always be to uphold Catholic truths and principles, then the student may be dismissed.

Hungary Forms Gov’t Office to Help Persecuted Christians

“He also remarked, “Somehow the idea of defending Christians has acquired a bad taste in Europe, as if it means excluding other people,” but, according to him, that’s not true. Hungary’s new initiative is meant to set an example for other nations to help Christians.

Orban is one of the few European leaders to take a proactive stand to help Christians and to resist uncontrolled immigration from the Middle East, widely seen as a means to spread Islam and terrorism in Europe.

Orban made a speech in March in which he said that mass migration “is masquerading as a humanitarian cause, but its true nature is the occupation of territory. And what is gaining territory for them is losing territory for us.”

He added that “those who have come here with the intention of changing our country, shaping our nation in their own image, those who have come with violence and against our will, have always been met with resistance.”

Government also opposes unchecked Muslim immigration

Radical Feminist Supreme Court Justice Comes to Notre Dame

“Many Catholics are worried that the September 12 address to the school will be an opportunity for Ginsburg to be lauded for her pro-abortion and pro-homosexual stances. Ginsburg is a longtime advocate of abortion rights and was instrumental in legalizing same-sex “marriage” in June 2015. The 83-year-old justice was once volunteer counsel for the leftwing American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), founding its Women Rights Project, prior to being nominated to the Supreme Court by President Bill Clinton.”

Justice Ruth Bader-Ginsburg has consistently voted to advance abortion
