A Very Brady Analysis
I am watching “A Very Brady Renovation” on HGTV and pondering why the ratings are so sky high – fifty years after Carol and Mike tied the knot. Many old Tv shows are repeated on MeTV and other oldies stations, but only a few rise to iconic status, remaining beloved throughout the decades. What […]... Read More
Not even loved ones
Love comes in different forms. With regard to sin, love must include admonishment or at least non-support of the moral wrong. What do you do when a loved one invites you to an invalid wedding? When a friend asks you to lie for him? Or when a child of yours tells you he/she has decided to act on his/her (disordered) homosexual desires with unnatural relationships? Does misplaced compassion or fear of being ostracized get the best of you? Or do you choose God's will, communicating it with clarity and charity, and then suffer the consequences?
These questions we all must ask ourselves.... Read More
Ethics and Reason: The Forgotten Bridge Between Politics and Religion
Talking heads are all around us, yakking away about whose political party and whose policies offer the best political solutions to our problems.

To impede life-giving love is an act of death.
Too many people do not make the connection between God Who Is Life-giving Love and how humanity is meant to image Him on earth. Contraception is a grave insult to the Creator and a severe attack on His image, human nature. As the root of our culture of death, it has far-reaching deleterious effects that most people choose not to think about. Hence, Christ through His Church officially teaches it is intrinsically evil and can never be chosen in good conscience.... Read More
Pro-Life is Not Simply Pro-Baby
Let me express a pet peeve of mine I’ve had for a while. In my humble opinion, one of the biggest mistakes the pro-life movement in general has made over the past few decades has been to make their point with pictures of babies and toddlers. I understand the purpose is to get people to […]... Read More
In God We Trust
Why is this phrase placed on our money, and what does it really mean? Can we rightly say that a nation that aborts its children, erodes the family, is confused about what it means to be male and female, and values pets over humans a nation that is trusting God?... Read More
More of Contraception’s Legacy

Our Culture of Death
It's more like 65 million today - and that's only the surgical prenatal homicides. The prenatal homicides performed through hormone pills and the IUD (without the mother ever knowing) are MUCH greater numbers.... Read More
Love is also truth and justice
In our era that emphasizes love as mercy (at the expense of justice), let us not forget that love is also: comparing some people to a brood of vipers (Mt 12:34), knocking over tables of the greedy and whipping their animals (Jn 2:15), comparing your good friend to Satan (Mt 16:23), telling some people they’re […]...
