Was barring Pelosi from Communion right?
'Catholic' politicians for far too long have taken anti-Catholic stands while touting themselves as Catholics. One archbishop has finally done something about this. But is there a moral difference between support for abortion and support for other so-called life issues? Let's go beneath the surface.... Read More
The Father is greater than Jesus??
Today’s gospel reading at Mass is a little mysterious. In the Gospel of John, after Jesus reassures His disciples that He and the Father are One (Jn 10:30), that when you see Him you see the Father (Jn 14:9), and that He is in the Father and the Father is in Him (Jn 14:11), Jesus […]... Read More
State Weaponization of Mental Health
Psychology literally means the study of the soul. The state, which has completely taken over the mental health industry, has eliminated the soul and has made the human person to be a purely material entity, to be manipulated by ego-gratification and psychiatric medication.

Moral Truth, Not Political Ideology
When the importance of loving your enemies, the stringent principles of just war doctrine, or the imprudence of capital punishment is mentioned, conservatives attack. When the need to follow natural law and to respect the sacredness of human life from conception to natural death is mentioned, liberals attack. But when fornication is mentioned as an […]...

Sexual Bulimia
The term “unprotected sex” is irrational. Procreation is a sign of health. It’s like saying “unprotected eating” when referring to eating without purposely impeding digestion and nutrition. Procreation and nutrition are natural ends of food and sex; whereas contraception and bulimia are not protection, but abuse. The fact that this simple logic of natural law […]... Read More
Clash of World Views
If you were to ask any child who has even a rudimentary understanding of life, he or she would be absolutely horrified by the notion of abortion; and terrified that anyone could possibly consider doing it. Only in adolescence, when one dabbles in moral evil and is formed by it, does this attitude begin to […]... Read More
What is a Person and Why is Abortion Murder?
What is a person? 1) Basic personal attributes include reason, free will, and self-consciousness. 2) Human beings are living organisms that possess these three superbiological powers. 3) These capacities can be rendered inoperative in humans by two conditions: disability or immaturity. – Disability (disease, deformity, etc.) can hinder operation of these personal powers permanently.

The Roe Leak and Its Response
The Roe Leak and Its Response There seems to be two basic reasons for the hysteria now being witnessed in Leftist women over the potential overturn of Roe vs. Wade: fear and anger. Fear reigns in those who can’t imagine not being part of a fornication culture with abortion as a way out of being […]... Read More
What and Why?
What and Why? By PAUL MURANO, published in Valley Patriot on September 5, 2021. Babies illustrate for us what it means to be fundamentally human. Anthropologists tell us that the first word a baby speaks, ‘mama’, is based on the mother representing food. It’s the sound they make with their mouth when wanting milk. It’s related to the […]...

Light in a Darkened World
Many people see Christian morality as a set of rules that apply only to the faithful. This is false. Christ didn’t come to create a new arbitrary morality, but to lead humanity back to happiness despoiled by sin and selfishness. For those who accept Him, Christ becomes a flashlight and Christian morality the path back […]... Read More

Why do we call it the “passion” of Christ?
Today, on Passion Sunday, its reasonable to reflect on why we call Jesus’ suffering and death the “passion” of the Christ, when the word today is used to mean intense emotion for something or someone. Both meanings come from the Latin root ‘pati’, meaning to endure or undergo hardship. In ancient times this word was […]... Read More
