If Catholic leaders do still believe in sin, many sure don’t act like it.
A fun celebration of a beloved Catholic saint has been usurped by a part of our community bent on shouting immorality for all to hear. And where is our Catholic clergy?
Why is it that people feel they must argue with and protest against a Catholic leader who is standing firm in his faith, who is teaching others to do the same? Our faith was given to us by Christ. Our faith is precious. It’s time we treat it as such and it’s time we treat those who instruct us with the respect they deserve.
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.

I’m not sure about you, but sometimes at the end of the day, I just seem to run out of air. I feel like someone has taken the wind out of me and the world’s problems have become too much to bear.
Judie Brown explains what Pope Francis and the bishops have been discussing in the synod currently taking place at the Vatican.
Families are precious; they are to be cherished and valued. Yet society tells us that it’s okay to divorce, to enter into same-sex unions, and to discard babies like trash. This sickening trend has to stop, or the consequences will be dire.
Cardinals and other clergy must lead by example, for when they do not, confusion reigns. If we do not see Church leaders standing up for Church doctrine, how can we have the strength to do so? Instead of a good example, these men only become fodder for those who either choose not to do as the Church teaches or who are ignorant about the teachings.

Adelaide couple Mark and Matt, both 29, have acquired Thai-designed newborns Tate and Estelle through commercialised surrogacy overseas.
People often lack caution or finesse when speaking. They offend easily, they don’t think, or they intend to create animosity. Because of this, we must always choose our words carefully and beware of labels.

Words are funny things, yet sometimes not so funny.
