In light of the hopeful repeal of the disastrous 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion – or, more properly, making the illegalization of abortion illegal in all the states, we should look back to the near-forgotten American of that era. Mark Steyn points out one glimpse. The band Seals and Crofts – whom you[…]
Pope Francis recently condemned the use, and even the possession, of nuclear weapons, calling such ‘immoral’. Of course, no technology, by itself, is intrinsically evil. One could, in theory, ponder a moral use of nuclear weapons, such as blowing up an asteroid hurtling towards the Earth, as in those substandard films. (Or was there only[…]
“If thou wilt be perfect, go sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven” (Mt.19:21). Have I sold everything I possess? Or, on the other hand, have I opted to “sell” only spiritually? There is a difficulty in answering this particular call, though I believe that it[…]
Columnist David Warren, whose Canadian contrarian style I oft enjoy, or at least amusingly tolerate, recently claimed that defending Ukraine is worth a nuclear war, even the loss of most of humanity. Here are his own words: We assume a nuclear war would be a Bad Thing, and I admit there would be many inconveniences,[…]

There may come a time when they’re not so interested, or, perhaps, no longer permitted to report such mysterious deaths.

O Sacred banquet in which Christ is received, the memory of His Passion is renewed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us (St. Thomas Aquinas, +1274). ⧾ As we celebrate the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ or Corpus Christi as it is traditionally[…]
“O Sacred Banquet, in which Christ is received, the memory of his Passion is recalled, the soul is filled with grace, and the pledge of future glory is given us.” (Antiphon for Corpus Christi, attributed to St. Thomas Aquinas) The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood, Corpus Christi, is celebrated on June 16,[…]
We are called to be Christ’s Light to the world and to spread the Gospel to all, unabashedly. The Holy Spirit gives us the courage and wisdom to do this, if we but allow Him in our hearts. Lo! Think also on the graces Our Lord gives us each time we receive Him in Holy[…]
I did not know that Ray Liotta had died, in his sleep. He was in the midst of filming a new movie, and engaged to be married, so seemed in good health. It’s not quite out of the ordinary for a 67-year old to go that way – the old ticker has only so many[…]
