Gender Theory

This past December Pope Benedict XVI warned about the dangers of Gender Theory. Many people may be unaware of the various theories of gender and how each of them is in its own way an attack on reality. Part of the problem is that the theories are not logically consistent, and contradict one another. While the theories […]

The Pewsitter’s Guide to Parish Renewal

Jan 11 13 • Heidi Hess Saxton • 2 comments

Recently on Facebook, I came across a rather heated discussion about Vacation Bible School (VBS), summertime faith formation programs hosted by many parishes across the United States. These parishes are taking a cue from other Christian communities by offering this kind of special outreach – and at times are even using programs produced by evangelical […]

Secular Second Thoughts on Sexual the Revolution

Jan 11 13 • Russell Shaw • 1 comment

The disruptive results for individuals and society spawned by the revolution in attitudes and behavior regarding sex, marriage, family, and childbearing that erupted a half-century ago have become too obvious to ignore. These things were predictable–in fact, some people actually predicted them from the start–but by now their impact has grown so painfully apparent that […]

Poem: “I am the Seed…”

Jan 11 13 • Pavel Chichikov • 0 comments

I am the Seed… I am the seed that fell among the stones, Heedless sowers, yet a stem I grew, A twig, a leaf, and then stood up alone – Child of wastelands, growing I was new I was a seed among the brambles bruised, A tangled shade laced-up above my head, What lived beneath […]

No-Look Typing: Put All Your Brain Power on the Subject

Jan 10 13 • Katherine Andes • 2 comments

I write copy for commercial clients to help them make more sales from key web pages. My process always includes writing a detailed creative brief with my clients before starting a project. I debrief both owners and sales staffers. But no matter how deep my brief goes, I still need to ask my clients questions […]

New Title X Amendment Would Cut Planned Parenthood Funding

Jan 10 13 • Elizabeth Charnowski • 1 comment

Planned Parenthood is the biggest abortion provider in the U.S., performing a third of a million abortions each year. It treats babies like toxic waste. It should be defunded, once and for all. According to their annual report abortions took up the vast majority of their pregnancy services and for every adoption referral, they performed 145 abortions. […]

Five Steps to Take This Year to Become a Better Parent

Jan 10 13 • Marybeth Hicks • 2 comments

This year, rather than making resolutions to lose weight, read more books and floss for more than just the few weeks after a dental cleaning, America’s mothers and fathers should resolve to do better to raise our next generation of citizens. The result? A resurgence of skilled and solid parenting could be the key to […]

Maternal Health Argument for Abortion Persists, Despite Evidence

Jan 9 13 • Rebecca Oas Ph.D. • 1 comment

Advocates for legal abortion in all circumstances continue to make their case in terms of reducing maternal mortality, despite a growing body of evidence showing that dramatic improvements in maternal health worldwide have been achieved without the liberalization of laws restricting abortion. In the November issue of the UK-based journal Reproductive Health Matters, two reports […]

Family, State, and Union: Pope Leo Was Right

Jan 9 13 • Jason Hall • 0 comments

Imagine you are the pope. The previous half-century has seen the rise of many radical political movements and systems of thought hostile to the Church. Major societal upheaval is well underway, disrupting the basic order of civilization that had persisted for centuries. The territory that had for a millennium been politically controlled by your predecessors has […]

Scott, Jr., president of LDI, […]

Men Without Chests, or, What C. S. Lewis Made Me Think About

Jan 9 13 • Leila Marie Lawler • 1 comment

“We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.” ~ C. S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man Sometimes you do your best and things don’t go right. That’s parenthood in a nutshell, I suppose, even when it’s done properly. […]

Les Mis: Movie Review

Jan 8 13 • Sr. Helena Burns, fsp • 1 comment

The musical Les Miserables begins and ends with the sung words “Look down!” That is, look down at the suffering, the poor, those who are told to look down, those who don’t dare lift their eyes to dream. There is a feeling of the socially-conscious Dickens’ work to Les Mis. The nemeses are introduced early: […]

Human Rights or Human Wrongs?

Jan 8 13 • Judie Brown • 0 comments

This past year has witnessed an escalation in the redefining of human rights. For example, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) stated in its Annual Report that contraception access is a “universal human right.” Implying that the use of contraception improves the overall health and financial status of women, the UN report fails to point out the deleterious effects that […]

Al Gore Profits from the Stealth Jihad

Jan 7 13 • Frank J. Gaffney, Jr. • 3 comments

Let’s call it Al Goreera. That seems a fitting title for the new network that former Vice President Al Gore is launching with the jihadists’ favorite television outlet: Al Jazeera. The effect will be to create vast new opportunities for our enemies to propagandize the American people, a key ingredient of their “civilization jihad” against […]

Federal Stem Cell Research Funding: Why You Need to Know About the Dickey Amendment

Jan 7 13 • Rebecca Taylor • 1 comment

In an attempt to stop the federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, two researchers sued the Obama Administration saying that the administration’s funding of research that requires the destruction of a human embryo violates the Dickey Amendment. Unfortunately, while a lower court agreed that using tax-payer money to fund embryonic stem cell research is […]

Why Gun Control is Not the Answer

Jan 7 13 • Thomas Whittaker • 16 comments

In 2012 America saw some of the worst mass shootings in the history of the country — the massacre at Oikos University in Oakland, California, the tragic shooting in an Aurora, Colorado theatre, the more recent heartbreaking incident in Newtown, Connecticut, and subsequent string of shootings which have erupted since. Understandably, people are asking questions […]

The Hopes and Fears of All the Years

Jan 7 13 • Jordan J. Ballor • 0 comments

At some point, sooner or later, all new parents experience that moment when they realize that this new little life is their unique responsibility. It can be a bit surreal. Holding your little one, it strikes you that a tremendous gift has been given to you, a gift that brings with it significant and life-altering […]

Slipping Away

Jan 7 13 • Denise Smith • 0 comments

I was warned. My mom used to complain how “time flies” the older she got. In my youthful mind, with three little ones under my feet, I scoffed. Silly me. Today, January 4, 2013, would have been her 82nd birthday. I guess that has gotten me to thinking of all she wisely told me. […]

Adventures with Twitter

Jan 7 13 • Terry McDermott • 1 comment

One day, my 17 year-old strolled into the kitchen after a long day at school, leaned against the kitchen counter and, between mouthfuls of food to appease his growling stomach, said, “Hey mom, did you know that the Pope has Twitter?” “So, I hear,” I replied absentmindedly while chopping vegetables for dinner. “Do you have […]

Poem: “The Fuse”

Jan 7 13 • Michele Marie • 0 comments

The Fuse One fist clenches Discharging the universe What thunder! Heavenly bodies hurled! Journeying, spinning, Eternal directed movement. You, the Alpha You make it happen Why do they hide? Why do they cry tears? Tender saplings Shallow and green Long to be Great knotted oaks, Blackened Proven Sentries of love You, the Alpha You make […]

Distributism and the Local Organic Food Movement

Jan 5 13 • Kevin Ford • 1 comment

Great change for the good often comes slowly. It creeps up through the cracks in a broken system, and begins to take the place of its previous forms. Slowly, public opinion, public actions, and individual sentiments begin to be formed in a new way. This is exactly what is happening in America today. The Local […]
