My daughter just finished watching “Yours Mine and Ours” in the next room, just as I was giving thought to the culture that contraception has spawned, and the damage it has done to the Catholic Church. It seems an irony that this was the movie she happened to plug in today, because it is about […]

Not too long ago, Joel and I were at Wal-Mart with our usual cartful of family-sized groceries. When we got to the front of the line, nobody was behind us. As we placed our items on the conveyer belt, the clerk chatted with us, with a friendly smile. Then a young couple lined up behind […]

A nurse makes this point atBlogsforTerri: “If you have to starve & dehydrate a person to get them to die, then you’d better ask yourself the following question: Exactly how terminal is this person?! The answer is: They aren’t terminal!” It has been discovered that Michael Schiavo, too, has a terminal health condition and is […]

The latest news on Terri Schiavo is that, despite the supoena from Congress, Judge Greer (may his career rest in peace) has ordered her feeding tube removed. I do believe this signals the end of his career, and I hold out hope that he may even go to jail for this. One can only suspect […]

For those who have been following the Terri Schiavo case, Yahoo! this is important news. Terri was ordered starved to death, yet again, and yet again surprising events have battled against time and Terri’s husband’s desire to marry his longtime adulterous friend. This time, the reprieve came in the form of a supoena from the […]

Back in September, Dan Rather blamed bloggers for bringing his fraud to light. News people should have credibility, bloggers should not — that was his damage control message. But now Dan rather has resigned and “blog” is the most popular word inWebster’s online dictionary. The Internet has brought about a monumental change in the way […]

I know it’s controversial, and I know it will stir up angry passions… I know that many on the right will call me immoral, or claim that my faith isn’t real, but I must say it. I feel too strongly about this to remain silent anymore. The right of every woman to reapportion a car […]

Christine, over at Laudem Gloriae, says “I’ve been accused by fellow Catholics of oversimplifying the ‘very complex’ issue of abortion.” She points out that abortion is no more complex than child abuse. I would add that abortion is only complex if you view it as a political issue. But abortion isn’t a political issue. Not […]

Everyone nowadays knows that the way to have a baby is to have sex. As Snopes points out, we are quick to chuckle at the idea of not knowing this. But it seems as though the reciprocal were some dark, mysterious secret: that the way not to have a baby is not to have sex. […]

As the debate wages on over John Kerry and his relationship with the Catholic Church, we see views increasingly polarizing over such questions as whether he should be allowed to receive Communion while remaining a staunch supporter of abortion. Kerry’s views on not only abortion itself, but everything from stem cell research to the “morning […]
