Special Pro-Life Report: Remembering the Life of Josephine Linton

Wed, 13 Dec 2023 13:00:00 -0500

The Texas Supreme Court recently refused to create an exception to the state's ban of almost all abortions for a mother who sought an abortion because her baby was diagnosed with Trisomy 18, a genetic anomaly that can cause a variety of severe birth defects. The news media has unleashed a barrage of stories to attempt to persuade Americans that this mother should be allowed to kill her child because the diagnosis is "fatal" and "lethal" and that carrying the baby to term would be pointless. As a counter to this narrative of gloom, CFN interviews Mrs. Claudia Linton of England. She tells the inspiring story of her daughter Josephine who was born with a very similar condition (Trisomy 13). You will not want to miss this inspiring story of love.

Special Report: Father Hector Bolduc, Defender of the Catholic Tradition

Fri, 24 Nov 2023 11:00:00 -0500

In this special Thanksgiving report Father Terence Finnegan, Tom Summers, and Brian McCall discuss the life and legacy of Father Hector Bolduc. It is important that we never forget the tireless work of the early priests of Tradition who traveled millions of miles to keep the flame of the true Mass burning throughout North America. Father Bolduc established many important priories that flourish today: Dickinson, Texas and St. Mary's, Kansas among them. This interview is filled with fascinating stories about the early days of the Traditional resistance to the New Mass and new doctrine. Father Finnegan shares his personal memories not only of Father Bolduc but also Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. Tom Summers describes the massive research project he undertook to preserve the memory of Father Bolduc's work. His book which is based on interviews of people who knew Father and thousands of pages of Father's diaries and journals is a wonderful way to give thanks to those who made the channels of grace we enjoy today possible. Father Hector Bolduc, Defender of the Catholic Tradition is available for purchase in Kindle, hard cover and paperback editions on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Father-Hector-Bolduc-Defender-Tradition/dp/B0CFCPH855/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3LG1J4BFUE2PL&keywords=father+bolduc&qid=1700691971&sprefix=father+bolduc%2Caps%2C113&sr=8-1

Interview with Kim Zember: A Sign of Contradiction to the LGBTQ Lobby

Mon, 07 Dec 2020 07:00:00 -0500

The LGBTQ lobby (or Lavender Mafia) both in the State and the Church tries to convince us that temptations to unnatural sexual acts and lifestyles are innate and normal tendencies that should be embraced not overcome. Turning truth on its head they argue that resisting such unnatural inclinations is unnatural and harmful. Their work over the past several decades has led to the social and legal acceptance of same sex "marriages" in the State and the toleration and even promotion of this intrinsic evil within the Church. Brian McCall speaks with Kim Zember, author of Restless Heart: My Struggle with Life and Sexuality, about her personal journey to overcome this lie. She shares how, notwithstanding her Catholic upbringing, she gave way to this temptation that was given to her. Sadly she shares how a Catholic priest encouraged this surrender to temptation rather than resistance. Thanks be to God her restless heart eventually found its way back to Catholic truth. The peace that she has found by converting from her former life--that was characterized by unhappiness and disturbance--is evident even in this short conversation. Her story is a sign of contradiction and a stumbling block to the LGBTQ lobby. Due to the subject matter of this interview it is not appropriate for younger audiences.

Father's classical education in Thomistic philosophy and theology clearly enables him to draw the important distinctions between true scientific progress and this evil rebellion against God.
