We saw some huge wins for life and liberty this past week. Texas governor, Rick Perry, signed into law a bill banning abortions after 20 weeks and also sets tighter restrictions on abortion clinics. Those restrictions are so tight that currently only 5 of the 42 active abortion clinics in Texas meet the standards. There […]

Like many people, Pope Benedict‘s announcement of his retirement came as quite a shock to me. I once attended Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica and saw the pope from about ten feet away as he walked past me in a procession. And although I only caught a glimpse of him, I did feel this sense of God‘s

Hobby Lobby is an arts and crafts retail chain and is currently under attack by the Obama administration because they (along with many other companies) refuse to follow the Health and Human Services (HHS) contraception mandate requiring employers to provide contraceptive and abortive services in their health care plans.

Previously I said how articles on RosaryMeds would tie together news and current events with the rosary. I talked about the Pope meeting with young seminarians, a recent announcement from English bishops reminding people to abstain from eating meat on Fridays, and some tips for people going to college. However, not all news is neutral

For many of us, September means the start of a new school year. And perhaps one of the largest transitions students face is going off to college. I know this is “so last month” for those on the semester system, but I was a quarter system guy when I was in school. Regardless of whether

True or False? As Catholics we should abstain from eating meat on Fridays. I know a lot of people hear this and think this is an older tradition that no one really follows anymore. Or this is only required during Lent. However, the Bishops of England and Wales, to reunite people with their faith, are

Where did August go? Sorry for what seemed like a long vacation. But trust me, I was hard at work writing my rosary guide which always seemed to need one more revision. But the good news is that it looks like my summer surge is over and I now have some proof copies for what
