Which Ecumenism? + Wins Against Trans Ideology

Rise Right

September 21st, 2026 - Happy feast of St. Matthew! The Trump administration’s crackdown on fraud recently identified tens of millions of taxpayer dollars misused in what officials dubbed the “homeless industrial complex.” Alliance Defending Freedom and CatholicVote thanked senators for revising the Protect College Sports Act to address concerns that the bill could override state laws barring men from competing in women’s sports. An ICE agent was involved in a shooting in Texas. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that it is investigating the circumstances of the non-fatal incident, while the illegal alien who was shot awaits deportation in federal custody. In addition to Biship Barron, President Trump nominated Protestant Pastor Andrew Brunson to the US Commission on International Religious Freedom. Brunson spent 23 years as a missionary in Turkey before being detained for 2 years on false charges, and finally released after diplomatic pressure. Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri is calling on officeholders and candidates from both parties to sign a new “Declaration for Life” affirming human dignity from conception to natural death and calling for a national ban on mifepristone. The Department of Homeland Security's top lawyer sent a pointed letter to the American Immigration Lawyers Association, laying out a legal justification for tightening asylum standards and warning attorneys that those who file weak or fraudulent claims could face fines and are responsible for creating the 3.5-million case backlog.
