… Do you ever feel like Catholics are the ones fighting the majority of the battles lately? Maybe it’s because we like to fight about everything, being members of the Church Militant and all. Or maybe it just seems that way because blogging affords me the luxury of surrounding myself with passionate Catholics of the more orthodox ilk. Oh, I know… it’s probably because politicians have no qualms picking fights and hurling insults at Catholics. Yeah, it’s probably that last... Read more
… I think mantillas are lovely and the women who wear them even more so. Yet I do not wear one. This past weekend I gave away the one remaining mantilla I owned because I knew I’d never wear it. Well, the mantilla was white after all and after having a child and going through a divorce I felt silly sitting in church with that virginal white lace gleaming off the top my head. White… who are we kidding here?... Read more
… I once heard it argued that the only people opposed to abortion where fanatical white evangelicals. The common misconception is that typical pro-lifers are white, middle class, right-wing fundies completely out of touch with real urban problems like poverty, crime, and family abandonment. Of course you and I know this is simply not true. The media does their part to intentionally perpetuate this misguided notion that it’s nothing more than a white man’s fight to take away the rights... Read more

These were the faces of people who knew they were supporting... Read more
Obama’s Coup to Overthrow the Constitution . “This is not merely a president running for re-election. This is a wannabe dictator abusing the powers of the Executive branch to seize more power, fill every federal department and agency with radical minions who will use their offices to advance his agenda, and bully his opponents into submission. The Executive Branch is officially being “community organized” into a re-election apparatus for permanently installing a radical Socialist regime. If the military were involved,... Read more
… Well, it looks like CBS Washington found a pair of Spectraspecs. It didn’t take a pair of very observant eyes to notice that when CBS Washington originally reported about the March For Life they failed to capture a photo of a single solitary pro-life advocate. It was astonishing really. I guess, after receiving reader feedback, the editor was prompted to take another look at that film, and oops… there they are. They have now revised their coverage to include... Read more
Photo credit: Stephanie Richer Photography I met this woman at the Brookland-CUA station on the day of the March. She was there with six other pro-abortion demonstrators waiting to greet the crowds leaving morning mass at the Basilica. Stephanie stopped to snap some photos and asked who in the group had ever had an abortion. This lady was the only one who had; however, the other demonstrators with her claimed to have known someone in their lives who had abortions.... Read more
