Being faithful to the teachings of Jesus' Church in the public sphere will not enhance your popularity!

Those who defend human life or marriage/family/human sexuality now absurdly get called "haters."

Being Signs of Contradiction

Belief in the sanctity of each human life from its first moment of fertilization to its natural end is under assault. Belief in the sanctity of marriage / family / human sexuality is also under assault. Even among practicing Catholics, these essential positions do not alway seem well understood. Many feel that these positions do not get sufficient attention from the pulpit.

We can and we must stand up for both!

We are called to be a light to the world and to not leave that light under a bushel basket. The internet age gives us a chance to shine brightly.

Responding as Catholic Christians in defense of the Sanctity of Human Life and the Sanctity of Marriage/ Family/ Human Sexuality - in the U.S. & particularly in New Jersey & Pennsylvania.

No votes for people who are ok with slaughtering human infants or who think it's ok to mutilate kids' gonads. No votes for people who pretend that supporting monogamous heterosexual marriage is a hate crime.
