Pope Francis displayed St Peter’s bones at the closing mass of the Year of Faith. These pitiful shards of bone are all that’s left of the earthly body of St Peter. But the Church which Christ built on his efforts is vast and growing. Read more

Warning: Rant ahead. Dan Bongino, a former Secret Service agent, is now running for Congress. I have no problem with that. But he’s evidently written a book about and is now going around discussing the people he guarded while he was in the Secret Service, including both Presidents Bush and Obama. I have a bit of advice for Mr Bongino, as well as other Secret Service agents: Keep your mouth shut. The same goes for priests, nuns, counselors, therapists, doctors... Read more
Albuquerque voters recently came out in support of late-term abortion in all its grizzly inhumanity. Why? The only explanation offered in the comments on an earlier post about this vote was a bogus bit of nonsense about how late-term abortion was “necessary” because of a “medical emergency.” I say this is bogus, because, well, it is bogus. Look at the video below and tell me how the procedures these people describe are in any way medically better for the woman than simply... Read more
Would John Kennedy have kept us out of war in Viet Nam? Any reply is conjecture. However, he had actually been to war. That is a far different perspective from the one we find in the long string of draft dodgers and never-serveds we’ve had in recent years. My friends who’ve seen war are far less eager to commit American troops than my other friends who view combat from an armchair perspective. There was a time when the sons... Read more
This video is not a speech, but it gives a good idea of how President Kennedy was presented to the world back then, through the eyes of a more current journalist. I have always found it difficult to comprehend the gulf between the fairy-tale photos of President Kennedy’s family life and the sordid tales of his personal sexual behavior. I think the overall effect of learning that their beloved president had lied to them in such a fundamental way... Read more
JFK will be remembered long after the other dramas of the twentieth century are as obscure as the Hundred Years War is to people today. The reason? This speech and the actions that followed it. For the first time in history, human beings left this planet and stood on another part of the universe. It was a baby step, since where we went was our own moon. But it was the beginning of something that, if it plays out in... Read more
My mother’s comment after this speech was “the president taught the nation a Sunday school lesson.” The question which I wonder about all these years later is whether or not President Kennedy would have been able to pass the 1964 Civil Rights Act if he had lived. President Johnson used the grief of Kennedy’s assassination to help pass the bill. Also, President Johnson’s many years in the Senate leadership gave him enormous legislative skills and power that came into play... Read more
I’m going to post several of President Kennedy’s most important speeches. I think that’s a better way to remember him on the 50th anniversary of his death than going back through the assassination. The question I want to look at was what kind of president he was, and what effect his presidency had on history. I already have my opinion, but I’m interested in hearing yours. This is a video of his Inaugural Address. Read more
What if President John Fitzgerald Kennedy had not been assassinated? 1. Would he have gotten us out of Viet Nam? 2. Would his philandering have been exposed while he was in office? 3. Would Jackie have divorced him? 4. Would he and Jackie have had more children? 5. Would his bad health have killed him while he was in office, anyway? 6. Would he and Bobby have broken the Mafia in America? 7. Would Richard Nixon ever have been president?... Read more
To join the conversation on Sex and the Single Christian Girl, or to order a copy, go here. Our culture teaches young girls to look at themselves as meat. I could dress that up by using less harsh language, but the dressing-up would be a lie. From the time they are babies wearing trollop fashions, to the days when they sit in sex education classes that push dangerous contraceptives on them, including the morning after pill, young girls are taught...
