Reflecting the Trinity
Love begets truth, which together produces life. Likewise, truth is the form of love, which is inherently life-giving. This eternal paradigm of the Blessed Trinity reflected in creation corresponds to the truth of our being, i.e. human nature. Acts that contradict the truth of human nature can never be love, despite any subjective desire or […]... Read More

Salvation for the 3 Levels of Life
Water, blood, and spirit are the 3 sustaining elements for earth’s 3 levels of life – vegetative, animal, and rational – all of which are constituent of the human person. It is no mistake that the God-man gave His water, blood (Jn 19:34) and Spirit (Mt 27:50; Acts 2:3) on the cross in order to heal, […]... Read More
The Eucharist is at the Heart of Divine Revelation
A proper interpretation of the word of God sees the Eucharist at the very center of man’s creation and redemption: ⦁ It is the new fruit of the tree of life (Gn 2:9) that was rejected by Adam and reoffered by the new Adam (Christ) on the cross. ⦁ It is the new Passover meal […]... Read More
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 […]...

Is it less grievous to abort in the first few weeks?
a) He wants to legalize abortion – up to nine months! b) Terrible. But why are you mentioning the gestation age and maturity of the child? a) That’s all the way to birth. A baby is able to do so much by then! b) Do we value human beings on how much they can do? […]... Read More
Why the Kansas abortion vote wasn’t shocking
The Kansas referendum on abortion (Aug. 2, 2022) shouldn’t be surprising. In the dawn of our post-Roe era, we’ve had 50 years of brainwashing and social reconstruction that has desecrated marriage, broken down the family, and left society utterly confused about what it means to be human as male and female. In such a unique […]... 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
