[Catholic Caucus] Finally Cornered, Archbishop Paglia Chooses Both Sides“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.” Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass In February 1994, Pope John Paul II founded the Pontifical Academy for Life “to study and provide information and training about the principal problems of law and biomedicine pertaining to the promotion and protection of life, especially in the direct relationship they have with Christian morality and the directives of the Church’s Magisterium.” Members of the Academy did just...

[Catholic Caucus] Assisted suicide: Paglia's OK destroys MagisteriumThe president of the Pontifical Academy for Life Vincenzo Paglia has given his OK to the assisted suicide law from the columns of Renzi's newspaper Il Riformista. In a plethora of heresies and leaning on the liberalist drifts of current social conditions and widespread pluralism, the bishop openly contradicts the Magisterium and the pronouncements of the Italian Bishops' Conference, even going so far as to say that the Church does not own the truth on these issues.Bishop Paglia is open to the assisted suicide law” read the front page of Il Riformista [The...
 

Parents, Put Some Clothes On Your Daughter! When teenage girls dress in booty shorts or extremely revealing tops, they are, as feminist Camille Paglia put it, sending a sexual signal.

As the seasons change and the weather warms, American adults are yet again being subjected to the uncomfortable spectacle of teenage girls wearing outfits more befitting a runway show than a school, a store, or any other public setting. Every winter I hope the trend loses steam or reverses, but every spring it returns worse than the previous year. I wish there were a way I could word this in a less tawdry manner, but I can’t, so I’ll just be blunt: Mom and Dad, we can see the bottom of your teenage daughter’s ass. And we shouldn’t be seeing...

[Catholic Caucus] Paglia And His Academy Attack the Entire Sexual MoralThe Pontifical Academy against Life run by Archbishop Paglia is propagating a “radical paradigm shift” [= apostasy] that rejects the Church’s condemnation of contraception, Monsignor Livio Melina stated at a conference of Catholic Jurists in Rome (December 8-10).Melina was a co-worker with Cardinal Ratzinger at the CDF and then professor and president of the John Paul II Institute. Because he is an outstanding moral theologian, Francis dismissed him in 2019.The hijacked academy opposes the Church’s condemnation of contraception as “intrinsically evil” and labels this rebellion as “theological progress,” Melina explains.The...

Homosexualist Paglia Advocates the Murder of ChildrenHomosexualist Vincenzo Paglia, head of the Pontifical Academy against Life, has justified the appointment of the atheist and abortion activist Mariana Mazzucato as member of his academy (TheTablet.co.uk, November 10).With thousands dying of hunger, it is essential for Paglia to talk about economics ("an economist is indispensable"), as if there were no decent economists apart from the abortion activist Mazzucato.Using word cosmetics to fool the stupid he called Mazzucato “rather pro-choice [= pro-abortion] than pro-abortion [= pro-choice].”For Paglia, the term "pro-life" does not refer to abortion but to "war", "hunger", "poverty" or "suicide". His...

Paglia case: how to destroy Catholic moralityRecent statements, in Italy, by the president of the Pontifical Academy for Life on abortion have caused scandal and controversy. But these are not extemporaneous remarks, rather there is a precise intention to transform the entire moral doctrine of the Church. Monsignor Paglia is only carrying out the task entrusted to him.In recent days on Italian public television channel Rai 3, Monsignor Vincenzo Paglia, president of the Pontifical Academy for Life, made statements that provoked a heated controversy. Speaking about abortion, and in particular Law 194, which made it legal in Italy in 1978,...

In the last several years, Americans have been sensing that something is seriously wrong with the current crop of young people. True, they are likely to have the most education credentials any generation has ever received. They also are technically-savvy, and as such, have a wealth of knowledge at their fingertips.But in spite of these factors, today’s students seem to exhibit a character that is high in sensitivity and low in knowledge. What gives? Why are our students turning out like this?Camille Paglia recently revealed the answer to that question. Paglia, a long-time Democrat, feminist, and college professor, believes the...

Paglia’s Revolution: How to Destroy Catholic Morality In an interview with the American website Crux, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, president of the Pontifical Academy for Life, denies the existence of non-negotiable moral principles and accuses those who use the right to life as a voting criterion of political exploitation. The implicit reference is to the American elections, but Paglia’s affirmations are consistent with an approach, by now consolidated, that distorts the fundamental foundations of Catholic moral theology. In his most recent interview with Crux (here) Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, President of the Pontifical Academy for Life, corrupts the sense of Catholic moral theology...

[Catholic Caucus] Judie Brown reacts to Paglia's support for assisted suicide Judie Brown reacts to paglia's support for assisted suicide By Judie BrownDecember 12, 2019 We have learned that "Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, president of the Pontifical Academy for Life, said Tuesday that he would be willing to hold the hand of someone dying from assisted suicide, and that he does not see that as lending implicit support for the practice." It is unclear why Paglia would say such a thing given the fact that the act of assisted suicide, a form of euthanasia, is an assault on the dignity of...

The cultural critic and 'Provocations' author laments the end of the bombshell and asks why only drag queens and ‘Hustlers’ star Jennifer Lopez still possess "Hollywood's most brilliant artifact." Who killed the sex symbol? It's no mystery that in the era of #MeToo, the rules of combat have changed on the sexual battlefield. Women will no longer tolerate condescending or degrading treatment that was once business as usual in the workplace or dating arena. But in this long overdue push-back against sexual coercion and exploitation, has something valuable been lost? The sex symbol was arguably Hollywood's most brilliant artifact, propelling...

Using puberty-blocking drugs on pre-pubescent children in order to stultify their sexual development “is a crime against humanity,” said Camille Paglia, professor of humanities and media studies at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Paglia highlighted left-wing denial of the biological origins of sex, including left-wing framing of sex as an arbitrary and subjective social construct. “These ideas aren’t based on any actual study of biology,” she said. "I think that experiments of unproven drugs — drug protocols — on children is a crime against humanity, and it should not be tolerated. It amazes me there is hardly any...

(snip) As the firebrand cultural critic Camille Paglia puts it in a new interview with The Wall Street Journal's Tunku Varadarajan, Americans take our unprecedented freedom of choice and wealth of consumer goods for granted. They are desperately in need of a richer, deeper context for the very era they are denouncing. "Everything is so easy now," Ms. Paglia continues. "The stores are so plentifully supplied. You just go in and buy fruits and vegetables from all over the world." Undergrads, who've studied neither economics nor history, "have a sense that this is the way life has always been. Because...
 

Academia's rabid left taking new swings at leading intellectuals who don't conform - Paglia, Scruton

The rabid left has been rampant on college campuses since the 1960s, but never has it been as emboldened as it is now, not content to just spew crazy things, but to censor conservatives and independent thinkers. What's standing out now is that they are no longer going for the small fry - students, untenured assistant professors, conservative academics who really do say malapropistic things ... they're going for the bigs now. According to AEI's estimable Christina Hoff Sommers - they went after Camille Paglia, a powerful, influential, somewhat libertarian-leaning, and very independent intellectual, who, based on her familiarity with...
