Norway is stealing children from their parents. The EU government noticed.

October 29, 2019 (The Public Discourse) — In recent weeks, it has been reported that the Norwegian authorities have taken permanent custody of three American children from their Christian parents. Natalya Shutakova, a US citizen, and her husband, Lithuanian citizen Zigintas Aleksandravicius, are now allowed to visit their children only three times per year. Sadly, this is not particularly shocking to those who have been working to protect parental rights in Europe. It seems remarkable that this can be happening in a country that positions itself as a human rights champion. Through its Agency for Development Cooperation, Norway devotes more than $400 million […]

An outrage either way: Pagan idol worship in the Vatican or a nude statue of Our Lady

An event last week with indigenous people from the Amazon along with Pope Francis in the Vatican Gardens caused social media to explode. And rightfully so. We were either witnessing pagan idol worship in the Vatican with the seeming approval of the Pope or else it was a scandalous portrayal of the Mother of God in a crude nude statue. Frankly I don’t know which is worse, but either way it’s totally outrageous. That’s what we’re discussing in this special episode of the John-Henry Westen show stay tuned.

Climate change hysteria’s roots mix with eugenics, homosexual activism

October 7, 2019 (La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana) — Climate scare-mongering serves political objectives by manipulating scientific data. Years of pounding propaganda have disoriented and seriously distorted how we consider reality, ranging from nature’s mechanisms to the relationship between development and the environment, from climate knowledge to the role of human activities. For this reason, La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana is dedicating a series of installments to climate change, aimed at addressing the single aspects falsified in this wave of collective hysteria. It must have come as a quite a surprise to those who are particularly naïve and embarrassed some Catholic journalists […]

Proof the Amazon Synod proposes apostasy

In this episode 29 of The John-Henry Westen Show, LifeSite's Latin American correspondent Matthew Hoffman discusses the heretical working documents being used for the Pan-Amazonian Synod. His conclusion is that a sort of 'eco-socialism' is being introduced into the Church by liberation theologians, and that an apostasy is taking place. The radical changes being proposed would introduce a new religion, he argues.
