Everything wrong with the Church of England in one photograph. The Dean of Canterbury (a homosexual in a civil partnership with another man) installing the fake Archbishopess on St. Augustine's chair as a gaggle of female clergy watch on.

Oh, if only Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford (1550-1604), alias “William Shakespeare” were alive, what a tragicomedy he could write today.

The Great Abdication: Male Surrender, Social Ruin, and the Testimony of Scripture and the Fathers
## I. The Charge Against Men
This is not an attack on women. It is an indictment of men.
The disorder of the last century is not, at its root, the fault of women who stepped into vacated authority, or children who ran wild without formation, or institutions that hollowed out from within. These are symptoms. The disease is male abdication — the systematic surrender by men of the governing offices they were constituted by God and nature to hold.
Scripture does not flatter men on this point. The first catastrophe in human history is narrated with a detail that the tradition has never allowed to pass without comment. When the serpent comes to Eve in the garden, Adam is standing beside her and says nothing. St. John Chrysostom observes directly:
> "The woman was deceived; the man was not deceived but sinned with open eyes... He stood there and said nothing, when he should have rebuked the enemy …More

Lincolnshire Church of England primary school allegedly forced 7-year-old children (none Muslim) to perform full Islamic prayers to Allah in RE lesson. “We did prayers to Allah yesterday,” one girl told her father. Pupils were shown a demonstration video then told to kneel, bow heads & copy the movements themselves.

Former UN weapons inspector and independent journalist Scott Ritter said Citizens Bank abruptly closed his checking and savings accounts this week without explanation, leaving his family without immediate access to their money. “I’ve been de-banked,” Ritter said, after his debit card was declined and his wife found both accounts had been “zeroed out” on their banking app. A letter dated January 13, 2026, said the bank had “elected to discontinue its account relationship” and is “under no obligation to disclose” the reasons.
Ritter said the closure may be linked to cash withdrawals tied to travel to Russia in 2025, which he said were fully disclosed to his local branch and funded by supporter donations. “I did nothing wrong,” he said, adding that he needed cash because “Russia is disconnected

When developing the compact disc technology in the 1980’s, industry leaders Sony and Phillips wanted to make sure not to repeat the VHS/Betamax fiasco. So they worked together to assure that the new digital CD format would be uniform for all manufacturers. They ultimately agreed that the circumference of the discs should be 12 cm, which enables them to hold 74 minutes of music. Why 74 minutes? Because that is the length required to fit all of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony onto a single disc.
Born in Bonn, Germany in 1770, Beethoven was the son of an overbearing alcoholic father, who had ruined his artistic career as a singer by heavy drinking. Hoping to see his son Ludwig, whose musical brilliance was evident at a very young age, achieve the same kind of childhood music fame that had come to Mozart, the elder Beethoven subjected him to a grueling and abusive schedule of practices and performances.
Fortunately for Ludwig (and for posterity), his love of music enabled him to endure and …More

11 Truths Every Father Should Pass Down to His Son About Marriage
Son, before you head out to build a life of your own, sit down. There are 11 things about marriage and partnership that no textbook will ever teach you:
1. Watch the red flags. If you’re spending your hard-earned money on a woman and she accepts it all without ever asking about the grind or the sacrifice it took to get there—she’s looking for a provider, not a partner. Don't make her your wife.
2. The "Greatest Hits" Woman. You’ll meet women who are born to be incredible partners, and others who are natural-born mothers. But if you find one who manages to be your best friend and a nurturing soul to those around her—don’t you ever let her go.
3. Check the Vibe, Not Just the Bank Account. When you become the head of a household, don't obsess over the size of your 401(k) or your paycheck. The true metric of your success is whether or not your wife is still smiling when you walk through the door.
4. The Budget Rule. If you …More

You know, I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, especially now that we’re approaching Palm Sunday again.
Is the Palm Sunday Gospel (The Passion Narrative) still chanted or dramatized in your parish?
Because if you’ve been around long enough, you’ll notice something… some places have quietly stopped doing it. Instead of the full, solemn, almost theatrical proclamation of the Passion, it just gets… read. Straight through. No different voices. No chanting. No sense of that dramatic weight. Just another reading, and then we move on.
Now look, I get it. I really do. There are practical reasons. Time constraints. Fewer clergy. Maybe not enough trained people to chant. Maybe the parish is trying to keep things “simple” or “accessible.”
But here’s the question that keeps bothering me: since when did practicality become the standard for how we worship God?
Because if we’re honest, the chanting or dramatized Passion Gospel isn’t just some extra decoration. It’s not like optional …More

An elderly man was walking home in a heavy mood. The doctor had just told him, in a matter-of-fact tone, that the situation was clear and not encouraging. There was nothing to be done. Take some vitamins, maybe. And really, what had he expected? At your age, Mr. Robert Williams?
Seventy-five. Robert knew exactly how old he was. And, truthfully, the doctor wasn’t wrong—though he’d been blunt. Seventy-five is a long life. You’ve had your turn. Make room for the next generation. Don’t ask for miracles.
Robert wasn’t a wealthy man. His Social Security check was modest, and he still had to pay rent for a small room.
His daughter had sold her condo when she urgently needed the money. She promised she’d buy something else—at least a small place. But things hadn’t worked out yet. Expenses piled up. Life abroad was expensive, far more than back home. Back home, you could stretch a dollar and live simply, even on a small retirement income.
Robert nearly tripped over a puppy.
The little dog …More

Why is Dolan so annoying and fake? Whenever you see or hear him he reinforces this image of him as a clown who can’t be trusted or taken seriously.
