What triggered the worst riots on the streets of Dublin, Ireland, in decades? The rioting, as it should be, was condemned for its destruction and hooliganism in the wake of a shocking stabbling incident in Parnell Street by a man identified as a naturalized citizen born abroad. The motive for the stabbling, which injured three children and a woman, was not clear. But mainstream media and the Irish government and local police, pinned the blame on right wing extremists. Is that it? The reality could point to something more sinister, a state of affairs given only curt attention, or dismissed in the popular media narratives. On this episode, we'll offer some context and more credible reasons for the mayhem in Dublin.

Here's how the Guardian newspaper covered the riots:

"A strange duality characterised Thursday’s riots in Dublin: the level of violence caught most people by surprise, and yet there was also a feeling of inevitability about it. Ireland’s Booker prize-winning novelist Paul Lynch captured the mood in his acceptance speech on Sunday, when he said he was “astonished” by the disturbances but that the possibility for such disquiet to break out is “always under the surface.

"Few expected to see the capital descend into a violent hellscape during evening rush hour. But factcheckers like myself who monitor Ireland’s far right – as part of our work verifying online content and debunking misinformation – have witnessed how the movement instigated city-wide destruction after building on anti-immigrant sentiment over the past year."

Long accused of racism and “white flight,” the ethnic Americans driven from their homes and neighborhoods—the author JACK CASHILL included—finally get the chance to tell their side of the story.
“A startlingly honest and poignant look at ‘white flight’ from the white perspective. A necessary and overdue corrective.” —Brent Bozell III, founder and president of the Media Research Center wrote of JACK CASHILL'S latest book, UNTENABLE. The True Story of White Ethnic Flight From America's Cities. (Post Hill Press)
CASHILL, a native of Newark who now lives most of the year in Kansas City, once asked a lifelong friend, a rare Democrat among the displaced, why he and his widowed mother finally left our block in the early 1970s, twenty years after the first African-American families moved in. He searched a minute for the right set of words, and then simply said, “It became untenable.” When I asked what he meant by “untenable,” he answered, “When your mother gets mugged for the second time, that’s untenable. When your home gets broken into for the second time, that’s untenable.” In researching this project, I found myself repeatedly stunned by the failure of self-described experts on white flight to ask those accused of fleeing why it was they fled. The reason the experts didn’t ask, I discovered, is that they were afraid of what they might learn. Website: Cashill.com

Also known as Archduke Eduard of Austria, he is a diplomat and social media personality. Eduard and his wife, Baroness Maria Theresia von Gudenus, have six children. Eduard is the author of several books, including the children’s book Dubbie: The Double-Headed Eagle; volumes on Thomas Aquinas, James Bond, and Harry Potter; novels; and screenplays.

It's a standoff between the left and right. On the left, sitting US President JOE BIDEN is facing serious allegations of influence peddling and pay for play, as more details and allegations emerge on his son HUNTER BIDEN'S business affairs. On the right, former President DONALD TRUMP faces multiple charges of wrong-doing, and conspiring to defraud the US following the results of the 202 election.

Who's right, who's wrong? That may be less important, oddly enough, than the question on the rule of law. Yes, the biggest test here is the future of American democracy. What matters is the US still stands as a beacon of hope and as a strong democracy for the world to admire, just as despots and crazed leaders outside America roam the world.

Communio, a national nonprofit organization that works with churches to strengthen families and develop stronger faith lives, has released its new Nationwide Study on Faith and Relationships showing that a forty-year decline in marriage and fatherhood has fueled the public health crisis in loneliness and driven the national decline in Christian faith.

The conclusions are drawn from a nationwide survey of 19,000 Sunday church attendees conducted during worship in 112 evangelical, Protestant, and Catholic congregations.

In the wake of the US Surgeon General’s May 2 advisory on loneliness, this study found just 22 percent of church goers were considered lonely. Single church goers were more than three times more likely to be considered lonely than the married. Men and women who had never married in their 30s were more likely to be lonely than the loneliest group of widows.

The collapse of resident fatherhood through the decline in marriage is fueling the direct decline in faith. The study found 80 percent of all Sunday church attendees – single or married, young or old -- in the United States grew up in a continuously married home with both biological parents at a time where this is increasingly rare. This trend held across age groups.

Roughly 1 in 5 married churchgoers struggle (have a satisfaction gap) in their marriage. Women are 62 percent more likely to struggling than men. Cohabiting women were 76 percent more likely to struggle than married women and twice as likely to struggle than cohabiting men.

“To effectively evangelize today, we must address the declining number of marriages, poor marital health and improve the effectiveness of fathers in those marriages,” said J.P. DeGance, President of Communio. “By addressing these three issues, we can end the loneliness epidemic as well as spark a sustained revival in Christian faith and active church attendance. The link between marriage and faith is clear, yet 85 percent of all churches in the United States report spending zero dollars annually on marriage and relationship ministry.”

Communio is a nonprofit that equips to evangelize through the renewal of healthy relationships, marriages, and families.

RUSSELL CROWE stars in this year's demonic thriller, The Pope's Exorcist—a true story displaying the life of chief exorcist for the Vatican, FR. GABRIELE AMORTH and his battles against Satan and his demons. Coinciding with this release, The Pope's Exorcist: 101 Questions About Fr. GABRIELE AMORTH, was released in April. See, https://sophiainstitute.com/product/32003/ The editors at Sophia Institute Press—publisher of three best-selling books by FR. AMORTH—separate the fantasy from the facts surrounding what really occurs in exorcisms. They share examples of demonic obsession and possession from Fr. Amorth’s experience. The editors also lay out the alarming cause of most cases of possession (you will never guess the origin!), what exorcism really is, how it is performed, and its biblical history. JORDAN BURKE, featured in this interview, is a spokesman for Sophia Institute Press. About JORDAN BURKE After a little over half a decade protecting and serving his community as a Police Officer, JORDAN BURKE traded in his badge and gun for a bible and a rosary. Falling deeply in love with the Church and Her teachings, he dove headfirst into the writings of the saints and all aspects of spiritual theology and hasn't stopped learning since. Combining his love of The Truth, history, and tradition with practical application, Jordan turned his life motto, "Do The Harder Thing," into a program of acquiring virtue and overcoming habitual sin for all who seek to become who God has called them to be. When he's not writing, researching, farming, and praying, he is, most importantly, a loving father of a beautiful little girl and a zealous defender of souls.
