OCTOBER 28, 2020 BY GUEST CONTRIBUTOR by guest writer Andrew Reising Growing up, There was one issue that dominated politics in my house: abortion. Like in so many pro-life households, when one candidate had a platform that said “pro-life” and the other candidate “supported a woman’s right to choose,” nothing else about the candidates mattered. It […]
BY HEMANT MEHTA OCTOBER 1, 2020 This is what happens when you nominate someone without extensively vetting her first. I’ve been fairly adamant in saying that Amy Coney Barrett shouldn’t be questioned about her Catholic faith, except for when it could interfere with her Supreme Court decision-making. Even though the whole nomination charade right now is utterly […]
SEPTEMBER 12, 2020 BY FELLOW DYING INMATE Catholic stupidity is deadlier than a host of evils. Last time, I wrote about the significance and intelligibility of sacraments. What do sacraments signify? What does a cruel Church signify? Here I pick up that thread by using the shortest distance between truth and a human being, a story. It […]
SEPTEMBER 16, 2020 BY KRISTIN WILSON I do want to continue to say loudly, that if you are a Christian AND you vote Democrat, YOU MUST BE VERY VOCAL IN TELLING THEM THAT THEIR PLATFORM ON ABORTION IS AN ABOMINATION. You have the moral obligation to reach out to your representatives and say something like “I […]
SEPTEMBER 7, 2020 BY BOB SEIDENSTICKER Let’s critique three points often made by pro-life Christians. This is a continuation of our analysis of the question, “Does Pro-life Logic Mean Women Who Get Abortions Should Be Punished?” addressed by Greg Koukl of the Stand to Reason podcast. (Start with part 1 here.) I’ve responded in detail to the […]
SEPTEMBER 9, 2020 BY BOB SEIDENSTICKER The most effective response to abortion is obvious, but pro-life advocates don’t see it. This is the conclusion of our analysis of the question, “Does Pro-life Logic Mean Women Who Get Abortions Should Be Punished?” addressed by Greg Koukl of the Stand to Reason podcast. (Start with part 1 here.) Pro-life […]
SEPTEMBER 1, 2020 BY FR. MATTHEW P. SCHNEIDER, LC Archbishop Viganò was the papal nuncio in the USA years ago but has recently come to fame for various letters he’s written in retirement. He started by revealing a possible cover-up of clerical sexual abuse. However, has slowly gotten further from mainstream Catholicism in what he writes. […]
AUGUST 26, 2020 BY REBECCA BRATTEN WEISS Every presidential election year, the same debate returns to Catholic circles: may a Catholic, in good conscience, vote for a candidate who is not pro-life? Much has been written on both sides of the question. Some argue that is it impossible. They say that the only moral vote a […]
JULY 6, 2020 BY MARY PEZZULO I thought it would make bigger news this weekend, when pro-life icon Abby Johnson said that her son isn’t Black after all. In case you just joined us: the Johnsons had an open adoption several years ago. They adopted a baby named Jude whom they’ve spoken and blogged publicly about […]
JULY 10, 2020 BY CAPTAIN CASSIDY Hi and welcome back! A couple of days ago, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) helped Christianity decline just a little bit faster. They made a pair of decisions that will hopefully jar quite a few Christians into wondering exactly why their imaginary friend doesn’t actually make their […]

JANUARY 10, 2020 BY REBECCA BRATTEN WEISS A few days ago Planned Parenthood released a statement that abortions had gone up. At the same time, the president who has been praised by Christian leaders as “the most pro-life ever” got us dangerously close to a new military crisis with Iran. It is in this context that […]
JANUARY 9, 2020 BY MARY PEZZULO They told me I had to vote Republican, because Republicans were pro-life. For awhile, I believed them. I voted Republican for years and years– at first, as a brainwashed conservative eighteen-year-old and later as a grown woman who didn’t like Republicans but felt like I’d be committing a sin if […]
By Katie Shepherd Jan. 8, 2020 at 7:21 a.m. EST It was almost 3 a.m. on Friday when a young Delaware man crossed the street and approached a rectangular building with a bright blue banner pinned to its stucco facade declaring, “Health Care Happens Here,” in bold white lettering. Then, he allegedly lit a molotov cocktail-like incendiary […]

14 November 2012 The husband of a pregnant woman who died in an Irish hospital has said he has no doubt she would be alive if she had been allowed an abortion.
