June 25, 2019 (Steven O’Reilly) – Catholics following the scandals surrounding the ex-Cardinal McCarrick are probably well aware of the seemingly mysterious figure of the “influential Italian gentleman.” This individual met McCarrick at the North American College in Rome and asked McCarrick to ‘talk up Bergoglio‘ in the general congregations, or preparatory meetings for the … More The “Influential Italian Gentleman”
June 17, 2019 (Steven O’Reilly) – As I followed the recent USCCB meeting in the press, I never saw references to any public comments made by any bishop on the recent Open Letter, which accused Pope Francis of the delict of heresy, or any comment on the “Declaration of Truths” (see prior discussion on the … More The USCCB vs. the Declaration of Truths?

May 25 2019 (Steven O’Reilly) – It is becoming clearer every day that the whole origin of the Russian collusion scandal was an orchestrated, illegal spying operation that targeted presidential-candidate Trump and which later developed into an attempted soft coup against a sitting president.
