"By David Gibson| Religion News Service, Updated: Wednesday, November 30, 5:12 PM

And so it has come to this.

Newt Gingrich, the career politician and millionaire “consultant” for the health care and mortgage industries, a twice-divorced and thrice-married convert to Catholicism, may be the last great hope of the religious right."

Catholics for Israel

What do we mean by Catholics 'for Israel'?

Catholics for Israel is an apostolate faithful to the Magisterium, the living teaching office of the Church to whom Jesus has entrusted the task of authentically interpreting the word of God (DV 10). This means that official magisterial teachings of the Catholic Church, most especially chapter 4 of the declaration Nostra Aetate and theCatechism of the Catholic Church, form the core of our beliefs concerning Israel and the Jewish people.

Top ten misleading slogans

 from Simple Catholicism (blog)

Slogans are “discussion stoppers.” Once they are trotted out, the conversation is over. Or at least it is supposed to be. I’d like to use them as openings:

10. “Against Abortion? Don’t Have One.”
9. “We are the Church.”
8. “Overpopulation causes scarcity.”
7. “Dialogue.”
6. “Old celibates have nothing to say about sex.
5. “Dogma divides.
4. “The Priest Shortage.”
3. “Just follow your conscience.
2. “All Religions teach the same thing.”
1. “God is Love.”
