Making a Pro-Life Decision After Rape

I was asked by a reader what I would do if my daughter were raped and got pregnant due to that violent act.  He asked a lot of “what ifs” that were hard to imagine, much less answer. Here’s the story of a woman and her daughter who lived it: Plan B, the Gloria Steinem... Read more »

Loving the Leaves on Valentine's Day

“The tragedy of the world is that so many are unloved. Roses always look beautiful and smell sweet, and hence they are a prize to be possessed.

“Why does this generation seek a sign?” – Jesus (Mark 8:11) Reading today’s Gospel is prophetic considering what’s going on today.  What will it take for us to stop and take a moment to wake up and realize that Catholics have to stand up for our church?
