Nigerian Christians call for peace, not vengeance. They even talk of forgiveness. The Nigerian Christians I have corresponded with have — every single one of them — asked for prayer. Our resolve to help them and stand by them must not falter. What that means — among other things — is that we must not allow ourselves to bullied into silence by personal attacks against us from those who want to turn a blind eye to Christian persecution. We... Read more
I can’t imagine me being able to choke out any words at all if the pope shook my hand. But if I could manage to speak, I think what I would like to say is just “thank you for your life of service to our Lord,” and “God bless you.” What would you say? Read more

The Southern Baptist Convention has joined dozens of other religious organizations by filing suit against the Obama adminstration’s HHS Mandate. Southern Baptists are the second largest denomination in America, with over 16 million members. My question: Where are you Marymount Loyola? From the CBN News: The Obama administration has said churches and a narrowly defined category of religious organizations are exempt.

Precious in the sight of God is the death of His saints. Psalm 116 Christian persecution is a deadly worldwide plague. The evidence of massive, international Christian persecution is abundant. What, exactly, causes some groups of people to be so vociferous and ugly in their denial of Christian persecution?

In March 2012, the Human Rights Campaign, which is a gay rights organization that supports gay marriage, publish the National Organization for Marriage’s 2008 tax returns. That, my friends, is clear evidence that somebody somewhere committed a felony. Yet, no one has charges have been brought... Read more
Slander is murder with words. It can lead to the social death of the person who is slandered, which is exactly what its perpetrators are trying to accomplish. I am not talking about venting to your best friend or your spouse about your dreadnought of a boss. I don’t mean idle chit-chat gossip that intends no harm. I also am not referring to slander as an actionable legal term. I am referring to the deliberate, malicious use of lies... Read more
Did the House of Representatives stenographer crack, or is she a modern-day Jeremiah? Tom McDonald, who blogs at God and the Machine, followed up on the story, and what he gives us is another story altogether. His is a story about a woman who felt called by God to speak out. According to a Daily Beast interview with her husband, Dianne Reidy experienced a mega dose of what all the rest of us got as she watched the shutdown shenanigans. “This... Read more
To join the discussion of Pope Francis: Why He Leads the Way He Leads, or to order a copy, go here. Pope Francis has set the world spinning around the Catholic Church in a way that hasn’t happened for a long time. Like all great leaders, he has also inspired criticism from some quarters, most of it, ironically, from devout Catholics who fear change. I understand these discomfited change-fearers. When it comes to the Church, I’m a bit of a... Read more
