Pope Frances’ Difficult Legacy
- Details
- By Joseph M. Bianchi
Pope Francis has passed away—and the world mourns.
Prime ministers, Presidents, Kings and Queens were quick to send their condolences to the Vatican and the over 2 billion Catholics who called him their pastor and Vicar of Christ on earth.
But Francis’ legacy is a very difficult one; a legacy that many see him as a trailblazer for progressive causes and the poor, while others bewail what they saw as a Pope with heterodox theological standards.
The real issue for faithful Catholics is: did this Pope represent the Christian faith accurately to the world at large.
It’s Time for America’s Relationship with Ukraine to Change—How about a Divorce?

The war in Ukraine has dragged on now for some three years. The United States has stood by Ukraine and the Zelensky government with both armaments and finances, to the tune of $350 Billion.
For a moment, let’s put aside who attacked who and the reasons for the war. When one ally is helping a smaller ally to help its country to survive, there should be a degree of decorum and thankfulness. Such was not the case when Mr. Zelensky visited Washington this past Friday. Zelensky’s disrespect and lack of thankfulness to America and Trump was on full display to the whole world via the media. In an extraordinary exchange, Trump and Zelensky made their disagreements public. One would have to think that the President knew what was coming, and wanted to be sure the American people saw what he and his administration must deal with.
Why All Support to Ukraine Must Stop

A Ukraine in the Russian orbit that could pose a death knell to Europe. Russian tanks rumbling through the streets of Warsaw on their way to Berlin—and then other capitals. A world held hostage by Russian hegemony.
These are only a few of the absurdities pressed upon a watching American public as the lame duck president Joe Biden rushes to send military hardware and financial help to Zelensky’s Ukraine before the new administration may suspend it.
And why so?
America: Chronicles of a Dying Society
- Details
- By Joseph M. Bianchi
In the twilight of the 18th Century a country was born unique in all the world. From a rag-tag group of settlers and those fleeing religious persecution, came a union of individual states, each with their own culture and identity.
America was born out of ideas and ideals so rarified, that history itself had to be rewritten.
It was not as if there weren’t stresses and strains, debates and conflicts, but all were part of the mix that produced the final product. There were indeed major issues to grapple with as the industrial North and the agrarian South eyed each other warily, until open warfare broke out nearly shattering its soul.
America: Drifting Towards Venezuela?
- Details
- By Joseph M. Bianchi
Now that the elections in Venezuela are over, the anticipated results are final: President Nicolas Maduro has won. Well, that is, he claims to have won, but actual results say otherwise. Reports from the various polling areas say the opposition candidates, Edmundo Gonzalez and Corina Machado, won—and by a landslide, some saying by a 70% margin.
Of course, Maduro denied this, and the police and army were called out to “bring order” back to the country. The Strongman refuses to budge, and by all indications, he isn’t going anywhere soon.
So much for a South American country run by a dictator. Aren’t we glad we live in America where something like this could never happen?
