…that an Islamic Revolution in Egypt would lead to persecution of Christians–or that the western media would turn a blind eye to it?Life is full of surprises. God help the Christians in the Islamosphere once the old secularized tyrants are gone and new Islamic tyrants take their places.

Q: How can any missile crewman know that an order to twist his launch key in its slot and send a thermonuclear missile rocketing out of its silo—a nuke capable of killing millions of civilians—is lawful, legitimate, and comes from a sane president?

Then Dale Ahlquist, our Executive Producer, heads off to LA (Los Angeles, not Live Action) for gabbing with sundry possible distributors.

Hard to believe it was two years ago today that we were in... Read more

ESCR may have finally gotten the break it needs in order to claim the right to cannibalize the unborn so that Cher and other baby boomers bent on staving off age can batten on them and feed.

I hope our descendants will forgive us and remember that not everybody... Read more

A) Steve Greydanus loves it, which is good enough for me. B) A priest friend in Ireland writes: It is a superb movie Mark!! Very moving, indeed I spoke to our local Benedictine superior (an Irishman, though he entered the French monastery of Bec) about it. He told me that the Diocese of Amiens organised a showing of it and it was packed out. Indeed it won the French Oscars recently. I saw it twice. Brought a number of college... Read more

I’d like to ask youse guys to pray for two dear friends who are grappling with depression. Also, a reader writes: May I ask you and your readers to pray for my good friend, Brother Clarence? Brother Clarence is a Theatine seminarian whom I met when he was living at St. Albert’s and studying with the Dominicans. While there, he suffered a stroke, but managed to make a full recovery.
