It seems like, in today’s hedonistic society, people have forgotten the true meaning of dignity and replaced it with an “anything goes” attitude that trumps all else. Human beings are objectified, belittled, and often discarded. When will we learn?

Every year Planned Parenthood releases an annual report with lots of really large numbers used to heap praise upon itself for all its accomplishments.

Words can be so cruel and degrading. There was a time in the 19th century when North American natives were commonly called “savages.
The loss of preborn life that we see or hear about on a daily basis should not be a difficult concept to understand. When a child is created, and his life is then snuffed out whether it’s through one of the several types of abortion or in a lab setting the truth remains that a life has been lost. Each and every one of these babies must be mourned; we must never forget a single one of them. Hence, we must always realize that our language matters both written and spoken. Lives depend upon this
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. His insights on Cardinal Sean O Malley are clear, passionate and, at the same time, loving. The nursery rhyme “Little Boy Blue” is more than apropos.
Next week we honor the millions of children slaughtered needlessly at the hands of abortionists. It’;s the perfect time to remember the importance of actions and the necessity of speaking for those who have been silenced. And, as we look around us at the March and in our homes, may we be energized by the faces and actions of those who dedicate their lives to the sanctity of every human being.

We are one week away from the 2015 March for Life. Thousands of pro-lifers make the trip each year to DC from all corners of the country, often braving snow and frigid temperatures, to give witness to the 57 million human lives killed by abortion.
Today we hear a tragic story of violence that resulted in the creation of a beautiful, loved child. But the story doesn’t end there. What happens next will shock you and cause outrage. Yet it also gives hope.

The Christmas season may recently be over, but the Christ child remains in our hearts all year long.
Spilled coffee, ice having to be scraped off of a windshield, and a fender bender on the way to work all are scenarios that cause inconvenience or that we wish hadn’t happened. But, just because we didn’t intend for them to happen, does that mean they don’t exist? Of course not. So why, when a baby is created intentionally or unintentionally people think of him as nothing more than an inconvenience? 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?
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.
