Somebody posted a billboard in New York pointing out the perfectly true fact that the abortion industry makes a killing (literally) slaughtering the children of the Black community. Black “community leaders” like Al Sharpton, natch, decried this as (wait for it) “demonizing black women” and demanded they be taken down. They were. Hitler managed to turn a few Jews into kapos among the desperate prison population. But Planned Parenthood has actually managed to turn the “leadership community” among African-Americans in... Read more

A reader writes: Please have your readers pray for me. I just lost my job – I was laid off due to income reduction. I don’t know what is going to happen to me. Father, we ask that you would help your son find work quickly and that, in the meantime, he would cast himself upon you and that you will carry him through this hard time. Grant him peace and give your people the power and creativity to help... Read more

…right all the time. But what really shocked me was the Universite de Montreal professor, Dr. Hubert Van Gijseghem, who showed up to tell MPs pedophilia was a sexual orientation just like heterosexuality or homosexuality. The day is coming when the Catholic Church will be condemned, not for failing to act against pedophiles, but for daring to condemn pedophilia. By the way, I think the first thing to do with guys like this professor is to begin taking a good... Read more

A reader writes: I’m a regular reader, occasional commenter. I really appreciate the work you’ve been doing on the Live Action issue. Here in the trenches, I can’t tell you how important is the moral integrity of the pro-life movement. So often when we talk to legislators, they throw back at us every offense ever committed by pro-lifers. In the old days it was acts of violence, but now it’s lies. For example, we’re fighting a bill in NYC that... Read more

confronts the moral reasoning of the profoundly evil (I personally suspect demonically-inspired) Peter Singer. Catholic moral reasoning begins (though it emphatically does not end) with ordinary moral intuitions like “Incest is bad”. Of course, our natural moral intuitions need perfecting by grace (as counter-intuitive commands like “Love your enemies” demonstrate). But you start with nature, not with Singer deeply anti-natural evil. Read more

Bug your appropriate government critter to get off the dime and save this brother in Christ from execution by our barbaric Friends in Kabul. If we’re going to do nation-building then lets use our clout to keep such barbarism at bay. If not, then let’s get the hell out and leave the savages to live out their corrupt and barbaric folkways in this failed narcostate that we are propping up for no good reason of national interest. The ridiculous spectacle... Read more
