To the accolades of the leaders of a Cultural Revolution - and the shock and despair of most parents - Governor Jerry Brown signed California Assembly Bill 1266 into law. It mandates that restrooms in public schools, from kindergarten through the twelfth grade, no longer be limited to boys or girls, young men or young women. Students who self identify as transgendered will now be able to choose which restroom they use. This legislation is a part of a movement to discard the truth that gender is a given, a gift.

Maximilian Kolbe was born in Poland in 1894, became a Franciscan friar as a teenager, and was later ordained as a priest who served a small parish community. But when the Nazis invaded Poland in 1939, tragic events of human suffering where set into motion in which Kolbe's destiny would be sealed and his holiness revealed.

By Fr. Roger J. Landry | August 14, 2013

In response to the disciples' question, "Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven?," Jesus called a child over and said, "Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven." For us to live the Year of Faith well, we must be more childlike in our practice of the faith.

Taxes, Citizenship, Discipleship, Freedom and Faith
By Fr. Stephen B. Reynolds | August 13, 2013

The disciples enjoy "the freedom of the children of God" (Romans 8:21). Far from being as exercise in human willfulness, this freedom orients a person's life to the willing and whole-hearted embrace of the will of God.

Abortion, an unspeakable moral crime, is now a centerpiece of one of our National political parties, and a priority of our Citizen-in-Chief.
