Pro-life Necessarily Means Anti-Contraception

Being pro-life necessarily means being anti-contraception. History and psychology demonstrate moral acceptance of killing the baby-making act precedes moral acceptance of killing babies. It’s often the case with individuals and invariably with nations. It’s no coincidence Griswold v. Connecticut was decided just 7 ½ years before Roe v. Wade. In many nations the birth control […]...

Building a Spiritual Second Floor without a Foundation

Every good parent (and good authority figure in general) in the beginning spells out with clarity what the boundaries are.  Analogously, when children know the acceptable area on which they can play, they then may be free to play to their heart’s content.

Choosing a False Marriage over the Eternal One

Whoever chooses an invalid marriage over God rationalizes temporary satisfaction at the expense of true happiness and eternal joy. To the baptized who become members of Christ’s bride, freely and knowingly choosing the false marriage is a rejection of one’s everlasting marriage to Christ.
