  • Kolbe Report 2/20/21

    Download MP3 Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, Glory to Jesus Christ! The sickening tendency of consensus medicine and natural science to favor the elimination of the “less fit” members of society so that mankind can “evolve” reflects the extent to which the myth of the “survival of the fittest” has been imprinted on our collective consciousness.  In this newsletter we will briefly examine this myth and show that it has no foundation in reality. The full title of Charles Darwin’s book Origin of Species was On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.  This title reflected Darwin’s belief that the evolution of a one-celled organism into a human being was primarily driven by competition—that the struggle for existence elicited favorable changes in the biological make-up of plants and animals and that these favorable changes gave their beneficiaries an advantage in the struggle for survival which allowed them to prevail and pass on their acquired characteristics to their offspring. In reality, a “race” is not a “new” population of a species, with new functional biological information that was not possessed by the parent stock.  Rather, a “race” …

    Download MP3 Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, Glory to Jesus Christ! In this newsletter, I would like to highlight the fact that the true Catholic doctrine of creation is not only the foundation of our Faith; it is also the foundation for all effective evangelization, including the evangelization of Muslims.  As an example of how the doctrines derived from the sacred history of Genesis have the power to convert devout Muslims, I would like to share a brief excerpt from the spiritual autobiography of a devout Iranian Muslim which is now available as an e-book on the Kolbe website.  The author describes how she was stranded in London after the Ayatollah Khomeni Revolution in Iran and was exposed for the first time to devout Catholics—including her future husband, Gregory Clovis—and to Catholic teaching.  While staying at San Marino, a house for Catholic students in London under the spiritual care of a holy Jesuit priest named Fr. Hugh Thwaites, Maria’s life was transformed by the teaching she heard at a Legion of Mary Patricians group meeting that focused on the Creation and the Fall of Adam and Eve: Now that I was back in England and immersed in an English-speaking …

  • Kolbe Report 2/6/21

    Download MP3 Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, Glory to Jesus Christ! This newsletter is dedicated to the memory of Hugh Rowland Miller, affectionately known to the Kolbe Center family as "Hugh the Elder," who entered eternity after suffering a stroke and a brief illness on Septuagesima Sunday, the Feast of St. John Bosco, January 31.  I met Hugh the Elder (henceforth, “Hugh TE”) for the first time twenty years ago when we organized our first Kolbe Center conference in Manassas, Virginia.  Hugh was already 70 years old when we met, but he exuded an irrepressible enthusiasm for all kinds of practical projects that would vindicate the sacred history of Genesis and prove that evolution was, in one of his favorite sayings, "a fairy tale for adults." The Making of an Orthodox Catholic Iconoclast Hugh TE was born on April 22, 1931.  After his father’s death when Hugh TE was 10 years old, Hugh was raised by his Great Aunt Marie Montgomery and her protestant husband.  As a devout Catholic, Aunt Marie saw to it that Hugh the Elder was educated at St. Aloysius Gonzaga high school, but her husband also exerted a profound influence on his great nephew by …

    Download MP3 Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, Glory to Jesus Christ! The global push to impose the molecules-to-man evolutionary mythology as the only “scientific” account of the origins of man and the universe has advanced to the point that efforts are now being made here in the United States to deny accreditation to colleges and universities that do not teach the “science” of evolution.  According to the website “Evolution News and Views”: In its Blueprint for Positive Change 2020, the Human Rights Campaign proposes that the U.S. Department of Education in the next presidential administration adopt new regulations to “Ensure Nondiscrimination Policies and Science Based Curricula Are Not Undermined by Religious Exemptions to Accreditation Standards.” The document explains: Language regarding accreditation of religious institutions of higher education in the Higher Education Opportunity Act could be interpreted to require accrediting bodies to accredit religious institutions that discriminate or that do not meet science based curricula standards. The Department of Education should issue a regulation clarifying that this provision, which requires accreditation agencies to “respect the stated mission” of religious institutions, does not require the accreditation of religious institutions that do not meet neutral accreditation standards including nondiscrimination policies and scientific …

  • Eva

    I wasn't raised Catholic and viewed the Catholic Church and the notion of God and submission to the Church as any other atheist: an authoritarian, intrusive obstacle to my liberty. Raised in public school, this notion was rooted deeper throughout the years in my soul. Convinced, in my feminist pride, I even went and took a 4-year B.Sc. (called a licentiate) in Biochemistry, and was ready to use it against religion. Besides, I was close to satanism. I hated the Catholic Church. Contrast this with the fact that all this happened in Portugal, a land of Catholic roots. Nowadays most young people are atheist or at best indifferent. In Portugal, there are only two options: either you're Catholic or you're an atheist. I know very well what atheists mean when they say that "God did it" doesn't explain anything. When reason doesn't work, that's what you get - they have no clue who God is. Nor does it matter to them, because they are only interested in pleasures. Having always had an attraction for philosophy, I began to thirst for truth and realized that even though Catholicism was all around me, my family and some friends were Catholic, my country …
