I listen to Michael Savage on the radio on my drive home from work. This past week he called attention to a federal court case where the government sentenced a group of Amish people to prison terms ranging from 2 to 15 years for forcibly cutting the hair and beards of others in the community.

A little over a week ago, my family went to Easter Sunday Mass. Because we have a small baby in tow, we usually don’t get to the church until right when Mass is about to begin. On most Sundays, that works just fine since we can usually find plenty of parking and seats in the

The “Adopt a Cardinal” website will randomly assign a Catholic cardinal to you whom you will support through prayer
In my article about Pope Benedict renouncing his papal authority I told you to be cautious of the media’s coverage of the upcoming conclave. While I expected their reporting to be high on conjecture and low on facts, I can’t believe just how far out in left field some of these “news reports” and editorials

Since this past week was the 40th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe vs. Wade decision and pro-life week, my RSS feed was filled with articles relating to abortion, contraception, and reproductive rights discussion. Since many of my feeds are from the Catholic News Agency, Create Minority Report, the Blaze, etc., many of the articles

This week marks the 40th anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision which made abortion legal at the federal level. Because of that tragic decision, the pro-life community makes the week of January 22nd Pro-life week. This week features prayer novenas, talks and lectures, special programs, and of course, marches throughout the United
