…is that a sane request not to doom 23 million poor people to suffering and death such as this one: I wanted to touch base to let you know that the faith community is doing all it can to protect health care for millions of people who are slated to lose coverage should the American Health Care Act become law. The faith community is especially concerned about proposals to Medicaid. Right now, the AHCA contains changes that would undermine this already... Read more

Due to a bunch of scheduling thingies, it looked for a while like Jan was going to have to go to St. Pius up the street while I would have to go to Blessed Sacrament alone. But at the last minute, we figured out we could both go to St. Pius, which really meant a lot to me. Jan wore a lovely summer dress and her adorable purple hat, all fitting on a beautiful summer day. Mass was good (duh!)... Read more
Go here to help. She has raised less than a third of what she need in four months. Less than a third. I get these pleas all the time from readers trapped in our third world health care system. It is criminal that this poor woman needs to busk on the internet in order to obtain the health care to which she has a right, but that is how it is in a country in which Christians have divorced the right...

over at First Things We obviously don’t see eye to eye on everything since he is Dutch Reformed, but it’s a good precis of his work. He has been particularly useful in answering the New Atheists, whose work so often makes me feel embarrassed for atheists. The biggest challenge to the Faith is, as ever, the behavior of Christians. But once you grasp that the sins of Christians, while massively scandalous, are no disproof of the claims of Jesus Christ,... Read more

A reader writes: Could you please pray for my daughter. She is close to being homeless and has been involved with dark things. She needs a miracle to get her self out of this predicament. I am praying a novena to Our lady undoer of Knots but need more people of prayer to help out. Thanks so much. Father, hear our prayer for this woman that she can overcome the evil one, repent the sins that she needs to reject,... Read more
Religious tests are wrong when Democrats perform them too. Sorry, Bernie, but you are way the hell out of line here. This has nothing to do with the guy’s duties in office. As a Catholic, it quite on the cards that he thinks I stand condemned too. Evangelicals often do. My only question is: can he do the job he is being asked to do? He will not be deciding my eternal destiny. He’ll just be counting beans at the... Read more
and he graciously gave me permission to re-post it here: I don’t use Facebook Messenger, but somehow today I ended up on a page that listed nearly a hundred old messages to me–messages that I hadn’t been aware of, most of them several years old. One of the newer ones, from January 2016, was from the son of a once-fairly-prominent professional anti-Catholic whom I knew years ago. I even appeared in a debate with the man. The son wanted me...
