Headlines Does Pope Francis Really Support Liberation Theology? By Catholic Online | January 10, 2014 According to one Telegraph reporter, Pope Francis is somehow bringing Liberation Theology into the mainstream of the Catholic Church. Is Pope Francis a secret part of a leftist movement or is this one more example of a media which simply does not take the time to actually listen to what this Pope says? Continue Reading... Obama Administration Continues Efforts to Stop School Choice in Louisiana By Deacon Keith Fournier | January 10, 2014 Governor Jindal is a hero to many because of his courageous defense of the rights of parents concerning the education of their children. Every parent should be able to choose where to send their children to school, not just those who are wealthy. This is not a liberal or conservative issue; it is an issue of what is right, for our children, for our parents, and for our Nation. Continue Reading... Pope Francis makes special plea, but will Catholics really listen? By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | January 9, 2014 Pope Francis continues to call for aid to the poor as the holiday season ends. The Holy Father has set a goal to eradicate global hunger by distributing food more equitably around the world and he has called on all faithful Catholics to help. It's a call that can't be answered by a single second collection at Mass. Continue Reading... Solidarity and Subsidiarity: Take Back Government and Reframe the Language of Political Action By Keith A Fournier | January 10, 2014 We are in a midterm election year and the shaping of the contest is already underway in the political word-smithing which is all around us. President Obama was the first out of the gate, using the phrase income equality in his undeterred effort to reshape the American polity by proposing an increasingly large Federal government which controls the both the economic marketplace and the marketplace of ideas. My sincere hope is that those who are gathering together to try to stop the slide into such a larger Federalized governing model do not make the consistent mistake of espousing and using language which feeds the caricature painted of them by their opponents. The caricature is to paint anyone who opposes centralized, federalized governance as being anti-Government. The caricature is to cast anyone who disagrees with the rhetoric of top down federalized governing as being against the poor and against fairness. This is untrue. Continue Reading... Fr. Paul Schenck: Learning the Way of Love From the Jesus Who Still Reaches Out to Us By Fr. Paul Schenck | January 10, 2014 There is only one way out of this threatening storm of lovelessness: to reach out to the God-who-is-love-himself and ask Jesus into our hearts and lives and let him calm that storm of emptiness and take us into his own truly loving embrace. That alone will meet our deepest need, answer to our nature and fulfill our longing. Those in the boat, who had failed to recognize the Lord of Love in the Eucharist, whose hearts were hardened and had lost all hope, were completely astounded, when Love himself personally came to them and calmed their fears. We too will find true and lasting, everlasting, Love - when Jesus personally comes to us. Continue Reading... Culture, Its Delights and Distractions: How a Sport Benefits the Culture By Deal W. Hudson | January 9, 2014 Many golfers still remember the scene at the final hole of the 1995 Masters Golf Tournament-Ben Crenshaw weeping for joy, bent over, head in hands, while his caddy Carl Jackson comforts him. In that image, many of us noticed something almost lost, nearly extinct, in American manners-the gratitude of a pious man who loves his game. Among professional sports, golf is the last outpost for such a sensibility. Continue Reading... Obama Administration Asks Supreme Court to Force Little Sisters of the Poor to Pay for Condoms, Sterilization and Chemical Abortions By Deacon Keith Fournier | January 9, 2014 The Little Sisters correctly insist that sterilizations, abortifacient chemical birth control and artificial contraception are all immoral. They are not only against the teaching of the scripture and Christian tradition but, as Catholics, the Sisters also maintain that they violate the Natural Moral Law.The Obama administration has asked the Court to compel these Little Sisters of the Poor to do indirectly what they refuse to do directly. They asked the Court to force Catholic nuns to sin, to act against conscience, to pursue an immoral course of action. The nuns are placed in a situation reminiscent of other times in the history of the Church when unjust rulers sought to compel the Church to bend the knee to Caesar. Continue Reading... Culture, Its Delights and Distractions: Culture and the Search for Happiness By Deal W. Hudson | January 8, 2014 Nearly ten years ago I published a book entitled, Happiness and the Limits of Satisfaction (Rowman & Littlefield), the product of ten years research into the history of happiness as an idea. The issue I explored was straightforward: Why had the notion of happiness changed over the course of Western history, from a moral concept as it was from ancient times to the Renaissance, to a psychological one.

A Glimpse of Obamacare to Come: When Good Intentions Make Very Bad Laws By Dr. Frederick Liewehr | January 8, 2014 2014 is an election year, and it is incumbent upon every voting American to become aware of what is happening. Your health care system is being destroyed, and your future experience with Obamacare will make you long for an experience like mine at the VA today. The American people have always been caring and generous, and they want to see healthcare for everyone. The problem is that the system proposed cannot possibly work, and its implementation will cause the existing system, imperfect as it is, to crumble. Bear this in mind as you consider whom to support this fall. Continue Reading... The Emptiness of Post Abortion Healing By Theresa Bonopartis | January 8, 2014 I do not think that anyone can really know what the emptiness of post abortion healing feels like unless they experience it. There is a huge void in your heart, which becomes filled with feelings of guilt, shame, abandonment, and loneliness. I could go on and on, but if you are post abortive you know exactly what I mean. Continue Reading...
