A Message from the Editor

Dear readers,

Our editor-in-chief, John-Henry Westen, was delighted to have the opportunity last week to present Cardinal Raymond Burke with our petition of 30,000 signatures thanking His Eminence for his stellar service at the Vatican. The cardinal has always been a stalwart and fearless defender of life and family, a man we deeply admire.

Make sure to take two minutes to watch the brief, moving video of John-Henry presenting Cardinal Burke with the petition. You can find it here.

We have eight days left in our Christmas fundraising campaign, our most crucial of the year, and so far we’ve raised about 35% of our $200,000 goal. Thank you to all who’ve donated! If you haven’t yet, please do consider offering even a small amount to support our mission of spreading the truth on the most crucial issues of our day. The donation page is here.

God bless you!

Patrick Craine
