Asking Tough Questions in the Wake of Tragedy
There is no shortage of disturbing images in the trial of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell. The grand jury report is not for the faint of heart. And while I ardently disagree with the decision by most news organizations to – at least initially – not cover the trial, I can still understand why they wouldn’t [...]
Why the Media is Afraid of Dr. Gosnell
There has been an outcry against the media silence of perhaps one of the most horrific, under-reported story in modern times: Dr. Kermit Gosnell and his abortion clinic now known as “The House of Horrors.” The only national TV source has been Fox News while the three major networks, ABC, NBC, and CBS continue to [...]
Daily Catholic Quote from Archbishop Charles Chaput
“Let me tell you why I believe abortion is the crucial issue of our age. First, because abortion, too, is about living within the truth. The right to life is the foundation of every other human right. If that right is not inviolate, then no right can be guaranteed. Or to put it more bluntly: [...]
Daily Catholic Quote from Pope Paul VI
“Responsible men can become more deeply convinced of the truth of the doctrine laid down by the Church on this issue if they reflect on the consequences of methods and plans for artificial birth control. Let them first consider how easily this course of action could open wide the way for marital infidelity and a [...]
Where does the Christian West go from Here? Five Crucial Truths
“Do not be saddened this day, for rejoicing in the Lord must be your strength!” Many today do not feel much like rejoicing. Maybe you don’t either! But you have to admit that you would really like to feel better, be happier and have confidence. So what’s up with all the disappointment and anxiety around [...]
When I Was “Pro-Choice”
There was a time in my life when I was “pro-choice.” I was raised by parents who were adamantly pro-life members of the Baptist church in the small Georgia town where I grew up, but their passion for this cause had little effect on me at the time. When I left the Baptist church as [...]
Daily Catholic Quote from Blessed John Paul II to America
“America the beautiful! So you sing in one of your national songs. Yes, America, you are beautiful indeed, and blessed in so many ways… But your greatest beauty and your richest blessing is found in the human person: in each man, woman and child, in every immigrant, in every native-born son and daughter. “For this reason, America, [...]
The Price of Saving Lives: An Interview with Monica Migliorino Miller
In my parish, our associate pastor often serves Mass while his mother looks on from the congregation. Last week, he went to Rome to defend his doctoral dissertation and was awarded the highest honor, summa cum laude. He is brilliant, speaks seven languages, and yet, is gentle, kind-hearted, and down-to-earth. This priest’s mother spoke publicly for the [...]
Daily Catholic Quote from Blessed Teresa of Calcutta
“Many people are concerned with children of India, with the children of Africa where quite a few die of hunger, and so on. Many people are also concerned about the violence in this great country of the United States. These concerns are very good. But often these same people are not concerned with the millions [...]
The Abortion Culture’s Assault on the Temple of God
“Forty years ago in 1973, the Supreme Court of the United States ‘legalized’ abortion on demand and this country has never recovered from the damage inflicted on our moral fiber as tens of millions of children have been sacrificed on the ‘altar of self’ out of expediency and delusion.” St. Paul tells us in 1 [...]
