JUDIE BROWN COMMENTARY
Identifying the Human Being Requires No Debate
Most people do not follow the so-called “personhood” political scene, but if they did it might be helpful if one could see that words can be used to complicate even the most basic fact.
Cardinal Silliness
Now that Pope Benedict XVI has officially departed from the papacy, the news headlines are going mad, or at least suspiciously American, in the quest to raise the specter of a possible American pope.
Proposing that Society ‘Reduce’ Evil
In March of 1981 Pope John Paul II told his audience during the March 15 Angelus message, “Our prayer during Lent, aims at awakening [consciences],” and making men aware of God’s voice.
A Brilliant Teacher Steps Down from the Papacy
I have hesitated to write a commentary on the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI because I believed that the words he used when he made the announcement were sufficient.
Abortion is Crippling Honesty
The most recent case of America’s denial that the preborn child is a person once again reminds us that, culturally, our ability to deal honestly with our fellow human beings is so twisted that it becomes hideous to those with eyes to see.
Are Catholics Getting What We Deserve?
While Obamacare has been a topic of debate and discussion for the last four years, the Obama/Sebelius contraceptive mandate—complete with the recent vapid compromise—really raised the stakes for Catholics.
Fixing Our Kids
It is an ongoing dilemma, is it not? America’s young people don’t measure up to the academic standards of other nations, but when it comes to sex they are right up there in the top two or three.
Driving Out Demons
This nation’s moral decline is astounding not only because it has been a relatively swift slide, but more importantly because Catholics have taken leading roles in bringing about the decline.
The Fluke Doctrine
Sandra Fluke, the champion of free birth control for women, has reached a new low in her quest to shame the American public into believing that when it comes to promiscuity and sex, employers with well-formed consciences are badly in need of government intervention.
Obama Mandate–Extermination of Religious Freedom
The latest action from the Obama administration is but another sleight of hand designed to ignore the objections of those who have expressed concerns about providing insurance coverage to employees for birth control services while claiming that quite the opposite is true.
How the USCCB Reacts to the Diabolical
This is our first task—caring for our children. It’s our first job. If we don’t get that right, we don’t get anything right. That’s how, as a society, we will be judged.
