Center for Medical Progress have released their second video catching Planned Parenthood top executives in the sale of baby parts.

The Bob Jones Battle

My post for Imaginative Conservative website this week explores the possibility of religious groups having their tax exempt status removed because of their policies on marriage.

The Sandals, the Staff and the Promised Land

Do you remember this detail from Sunday’s Mass gospel? He instructed them to take nothing for the journey but a walking stick— no food, no sack, no money in their belts.

Babies for Sale

My latest article for CRUX exposes the root problem beneath the Planned Parenthood fetal tissues scandal.

Our relationship problems, our marriage problems, our family problems, our work problems, our neighborhood problems, our [Read More...]

For Such a Time As This…

…I’m taking part in what promises to be a wonderful retreat to discuss and pray about the situation in our country and world at this time. It takes place August 14-16 at Camp Kahdalea in the NC Mountains near Brevard. Paul Thigpen is a speaker, so is Anne Trufant. I’ll be celebrating Mass, speaking and [Read More...]

Babies for Sale = Slavery

The not-so-shocking revelation that tax-funded Planned Parenthood engineers their abortions to preserve tiny baby livers, hearts, lungs and legs so they can sell the organs and limbs must make us think about the larger issues in American life. In case you didn’t see the news yesterday, Planned Parenthood executive Deborah Nucatola has been filmed discussing [Read More...]
