Why Politicians Don't Understand Ideology

By Deal W. Hudson | March 26, 2014

Make no mistake, the National Women's History Museum will use its historic account of women's "equal rights" to glorify and propagate the abortion movement with all the bad arguments that have been used to justify it. There are far too many Americans who reject this narrative of the American woman, and Rep. Eric Cantor should know that. It will take informed, articulate women to keep this museum from being funded: Leaders such as Penny Nance, president of Concerned Women of America, or Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, and Lila Rose, president of Live Action, can make the kind of arguments the men in Congress must listen to.

By Deacon Keith Fournier | March 26, 2014

Whether you frequent the Sacrament of Reconciliation or you have been away from Confession for years, we are here to provide you with easy-to-read and easy-to-use resources to help you learn about the sacrament, understand how to go to Confession, and, most importantly, learn how practically to live out the priest's words in the confessional to 'go and sin no more.'

Radical Catholicism: The Table Turning Jesus

By Fr Dwight Longenecker | March 26, 2014

Pope Francis has been called a reforming Pope, but the Spirit of reform is always present in the church. Every good pope has been a reforming pope in one way or another. This is as it should be for Christ calls his church to a constant and frequent reform. To put it another way, the church, and every one of the baptized are called to constant conversion. Jesus doesn't come simply to turn over the tables in the temple, or the Jewish religion of his day. He also comes to turn over the tables of complacency, self righteousness, greed and compromise in the Catholic Church today, and in my own life.

Catholic Online and Common Good, Friends of the Court in Supporting Hobby Lobby at the Supreme Court

By Deacon Keith Fournier | March 26, 2014

We have witnessed an ominous trend in the United States. Classical, faithful Christians who uphold the unbroken teaching of the Church and the scriptures concerning the dignity of every human life and the truth concerning marriage as solely between one man and one woman and formative of family, are being squeezed out of commerce.

Fr. Peter M. J. Stravinskas on the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord

By Rev. Peter M. J. Stravinskas, Ph.D., S.T.D. | March 25, 2014

As we think back on how the greatest event in human history occurred, we stand in awe of the fact that the omnipotent God wanted and awaited human cooperation. God the Father made His plan for our salvation contingent on a human being's saying "yes". And so, Our Lady stands as a constant reminder of the great things that can happen when the human person cooperates with the divine initiative.

The Annunciation of the Lord to Mary and the Meaning of Life

By Deacon Keith Fournier | March 25, 2014

What came about in bodily form in Mary, the fullness of the godhead shining through Christ in the Blessed Virgin, takes place in a similar way in every soul that has been made pure. The Lord does not come in bodily form, for ´we no longer know Christ according to the flesh´, but He dwells in us spiritually and the Father takes up His abode with Him, the Gospel tells us. In this way the child Jesus is born in each of us.- Gregory of Nyssa

Example of the Throwaway Culture of Pope Francis: Aborted Babies Burned for Heat in British Hospitals

By Deacon Keith Fournier | March 26, 2014

The Child in the womb is our neighbor. It is always and everywhere wrong to take innocent human life. The Pro-Life position is a solidarity position. The embryonic human person, the child in the womb, the disabled, the needy, the poor, the elderly, the refugee and the hungry are all members of our human family - and are all our neighbors. The more I hear Pope Francis speak, both through his prophetic actions and his messages, the more I am convinced that he will go down in history as one of the great Pro-Life Popes of this age. I believe that his expression throwaway culture will soon help to inform the new thrust of the human rights movement called Pro-Life.

A Few Choice Words for Beyonce: Stop It Already

By Jennifer Hartline | March 23, 2014

You are a prodigal daughter squandering every good gift God has given you, beginning with the dignity of being His daughter. You were not made to spew forth trash into the world. Your talents were not given you so that you could profane them and yourself, and certainly not so you could get rich flinging dung.
