We need Judie’s timeless wisdom now more than ever!
Skating to Hades
By Judie Brown Years ago, 1977 to be exact, there was a popular Paul Simon song entitled “Slip Slidin’ Away.” The song was a musical testimony to the follies of a man who, try as he may, could not reach his goal because he continually seemed to be going backward. In a sense, that is what is happening to so many today as they embrace the evil they do without considering the eternal outcome of...
Little Boy Blue
While you expect to see commentary by yours truly on Fridays, it is my pleasure to surrender my “space” to our director of American Life League”s Defend the Faith project, Michael Hichborn.

How can a baby’s life be likened to something like one of the scenarios above? And how can people have the audacity to think that no life exists when one clearly does?
The Cuomo Effect: Catholic Bishops, Politics, and Christ
Defending Christ in the Eucharist is something that no clergy should be afraid to do. When we receive His most precious body and blood, we must do so reverently and free from mortal sin. This includes all Catholics and anyone who calls himself a Catholic. To receive Our Lord in any other way is sacrilege.
Finding Peace
Peace begins at home. But what happens when we willfully destroy the home and the people in it? As a society, we are in trouble, for there is a war being waged upon us. And if we don’t arm ourselves properly, we will lose this war. But the reality is that we will lose so much more than that.
