Military Virtue

As is my habit (and often to the dismay of my staff), I like to engage people that I meet in conversation and in particular, I enjoy hearing stories of their lives. I like to hear of their triumphs and their hard times. They always teach me something about life in general and usually something [...]

Amnesty International and Abortion Politics

Amnesty International, through its Stop Violence Against Women campaign, has become cooperative in the effort to kill innocents. The Catholic bishops in England and Wales have renounced the AI for its stand and urged Catholics to protest the organization. According to the Daily Mail, a leading British daily: A letter from bishops to 2,075 schools [...]

Toward the Creation of a Fatherless World

June should have thrown Ward Cleaver under the bus. She could have raised Wally and the Beaver by herself. In fact, with common kitchen utensils, June could have asked Ward (or any other willing and acceptable man) to mail his mojo and she could have taken it from there. At least that’s the implication of [...]

You Do Not Want To Get Raped In Saudi Arabia

Talk about insult to injury. A girl who was gang raped in Saudi Arabia was sentenced initially to 90 lashes for being in the car unescorted with the boys (now jailed) who raped her. A second trial increased the severity of her punishment to 200 lashes and six months in jail. Here is the report: [...]

First Among the Patriarchs

It seems that the Orthodox Church may be open to advance the dialogue with Rome concerning the nature of the papacy. A recent meeting of the two main branches of the Church have met and produced a 46 page document (to be released in November) which acknowledges the pope as the "first among the patriarchs." [...]

Acts of Faith

There is a wonderful streaming video of a debate between Christopher Hitchens, a well known and outspoken atheist, commentator and author and Dinesh D’Souza a Roman Catholic and conservative author/commentator. The debate takes place at The Kings College and can be accessed at their website. It is well worth the time spent viewing it in [...]

Anglicans Ask to Join Catholic Church

A whole group of Anglicans are set to swim the Tiber. Apparently the rift in the Anglican Communion and the continued drift of the more liberal elements of that group have provided an opportunity to reconsider a mistake make 500 years ago. The splits in the Worldwide Anglican Communion over the church’s secularising trends and [...]

"Wombmen" Priests

Here is an interesting little story unfolding in St. Louis. Seems there are a couple of women (sorry, wombmen) who want to be priestistes. Their bishop, Archbishop Raymond Burke, has warned of the penalties. The archbishop sent personal letters by courier to Rose Marie Dunn Hudson and Elsie Hainz McGrath, reminding them that they would [...]

Too Bad. PC Kills Ohio College

Political correctness has killed an Ohio college. That is the contention of Charlotte Allen writing for the Weekly Standard. It seems that Antioch College, a small liberal (in the classic sense) 155 year old college in southern Ohio will be shutting its doors for lack of students and cash. Sounds as if they have run [...]

A (Fairly) Concise History of Judaism

Marcus Grodi has a regular program on EWTN entitled "The Journey Home," where various converts to the Catholic faith are interviewed. He had a "round table" discussion with three Hebrew Catholics, individuals who had converted from Judaism to Catholicism. One of the panel members was Rosalind Moss, a well known Catholic apologist and lecturer. She [...]
