Dear Friend,

Are you concerned with the revolutionary times in which we are living? A well-balanced perspective is critically important as it governs our interpretation of what is happening in our lives.

For weeks now we have witnessed, and continue to witness, the unwarranted anger and frustration levied against Christopher Columbus as well as other long time acclaimed historical figures.

This unwarranted anger has escalated to subsequent vandalization and toppling of statues nationwide. Making matters even worse, many of us are left frustrated having to listen to an onslaught of “revisionist” history being taught with a rather limited rebuttal.

The Catholic Church is an irreplaceable force for good in the world and cannot remain conspicuously absent from public discourse on this matter. We simply cannot afford sit idly by while competing worldviews continue to shape narratives that lead to shifts in public opinion and ultimately public policy diametrically opposed to our beliefs and values…unless we are prepared to pay the price.

Where do we draw the line?

Let’s begin with perspective. It has been said that who controls the context, controls the argument. Setting a productive and ‘mature’ context to move forward, His Eminence, Raymond Cardinal Burke sat down for an exclusive interview with Catholic Action for Faith and Family to delve into the current crises facing America, the importance of restoring and observing the Fourth Commandment and the value of our American Heritage. And of course, don’t miss Cardinal Burke as he sets the record straight on Christopher Columbus and how he was acting in service to the mission of Christ!

I invite you to take a few minutes to listen to his counsel. You will be left with a better understanding of how we must get back on track to honoring and be thankful to those who have gone before us.
