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. How many talk shows discuss and debate morality and what it means to be human? Why is that? Why is everyone focusing on the more shallow questions while ignoring what fundamentally matters? […]...

The Meaning of Liberty
This nation was built on the notion that all people ought to enjoy freedom and liberty. But what does this mean? Have we slowly changed the mening of liberty without realizing it? Let’s delve beneath the surface: Click Here... Read More

Ideology without God
Human ideas alone without divine assistance have accounted for countless millions of innocents killed - just in the last century. When will learn... and happily submit?... Read More
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

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 […]...

What’s Wrong with Designer Babies?
We are at a moment in time when the prospect of designer babies still seems horrid to many people. As genetic engineering gets closer to becoming mainstream, the prospect of designing one’s own babies – their sex, hair color, eye color, body type, etc. – is still met with moral indignation. My bioethics students confirm […]... Read More
Marriage and the Eucharist: Why are They so Challenging?
It’s unfortunate, but not surprising that believers have had problems accepting Christ’s teachings on Marriage and the Eucharist. Along with the obvious poor catechesis, here are 3 reasons that may shed a little light on this phenomenon: 1) These are the two teachings in the gospels that Christ’s disciples had problems accepting (Mt 19:10; Jn […]...

Hypocrisy at its Worst
If the good people killed in El Paso were killed by a suction machine before their birth there would be NO outrage and NO calls for suction-control by the Media-Democratic Party Supremacists. In fact, they would support their deaths. It is clearly projection to claim Trump wants to exterminate Latinos while supporting the extermination of […]... Read More
