The Americans dropped a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima on August 6th, and another one on this day, August 9th – just to make sure they got the message, we may presume – thereby obliterating the most Catholic city in all of Japan, Nagasaki, where countless martyrs had been put to death in the 16th century,[…]
Robert Greving’s recent article in Crisis (July 28th, 2022) requires some clarification. Distinctions are essential, and in these confusing times, where even the elect may be led astray, we must, at all costs, keep our wits about us, and avoid at all costs being scandalized out of the Church!
