Thanks Be to God

After a 7-month investigation, the Manhattan district attorney has announced that the accusations against Fr. George Rutler were unfounded and had no legal standing. All charges have been dropped.

Good News?

I have early word that, after a seven-month probe, the Manhattan DA has declined to charge Fr. George Rutler in any way in response to the sex-assault accusation against him.

If this is confirmed, Catholic commentators who presumed Father's guilt must be held accountable.

Fr. Rutler on the Election

A Populist Election and Its Aftermath

What will the frightened half-adults do when they leave their safe spaces and enter a society where there is no one to offer them hot chocolate during their tantrums? Christ formed his disciples in a more practical way: “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves” (Matt.10:16). We are here today because those disciples did as they were told, and were not shrewd as doves and innocent as snakes. It is not racist, or any other unchristian form of phobia, to recall that the Apostles are Dead White Guys. If that was a liability, they managed well. Their Master, who wills that none be lost and that all be saved, was a Dead White Guy for just three days. That haunts those huddled in safe spaces and hallows all who court danger to follow him.
