A Governor's Tale: Satire for the Empire State
A Governor's Tale: Satire for the Empire State
By E.M. McCarthy
The elegant chandelier filled the conference room with light. Twelve men entered, dressed in tuxedos and smoking cigars. One carried a baseball bat, swinging it as he entered. If someone stumbled across the group, at first glance it would appear these were important men of high status and the observer would be right.

Lessons We (Probably) Won't Learn From the Coventry Catholic Debacle
Lessons We (Probably) Won't Learn From the Coventry Catholic Debacle
By Anthony S. Layne
Believe it or not, this is my fifth attempt at this article on the confrontation between Nathan Phillips of the Omaha Tribe and the Covington Catholic High students. (I had actually submitted the fourth attempt, only to retract it when some last developments came up. The perils of commenting on current events as they unfold.)

An Open Letter to My Aborted Daughter, Nicole
An Open Letter to My Aborted Daughter, Nicole
By Dr. Lin Weeks Wilder
I watched the movie, Gosnell, last night because I felt I owed you that. To know precisely what was done to you all those years ago, while I slept, unconscious. I thought I would sob through the entire film; instead, I was dry-eyed throughout. I could think of little else all evening as I thought about the woman I had been and what I did to you.

Deceptive Reporting Hurts Pro-Life March
Deceptive Reporting Hurts Pro-Life March
By Birgit Jones
The occasion of 2019 Annual March for Life was the scene of quite an unsettling encounter. At first blush, media narratives and abbreviated video clips appeared to show a ‘smirking’ young high school student. Wearing a Make America Great Again (MAGA) cap, he stood closely facing an ageing Native American man.

3 Things to Learn From the March Fiasco
3 Things to Learn From the March Fiasco
By Birgit Jones
Do not turn on your own. Especially when the conclusive facts are not in. This was the bitter lesson learned by the Covington Catholic High School teens at the conclusion of the March for Life. Not only the secular media, but even their own school, the Diocese of Covington, and pro-life leaders initially gave credence to the false narrative given. Many still persist.

The Battles Lines Have Been Drawn
The Battles Lines Have Been Drawn
By Lorrie McNickle
We really are at war. If we fail to realize that and do not arm ourselves against the risks of these battles, then it is very possible that Satan will find a way to take us down. I have been watching and reading with horror about the Catholic school boys from Covington that were the victims of such an attack.

A Word To Our Shepherds about Betrayal
A Word To Our Shepherds about Betrayal
By Susan Skinner
I was recently blindsided by something that left me momentarily feeling exposed, even betrayed. Because I know God is in all things, I took it to him to try to process what happened. I knew clearly I was supposed to meditate on Jesus’ betrayal. I did that for several days, and this morning God spoke. He told me I was looking at it wrong.

A FEW SINCERE QUESTIONS FOR MY PROGRESSIVE-LIBERAL FRIENDS!
A FEW SINCERE QUESTIONS FOR MY PROGRESSIVE-LIBERAL FRIENDS!
By Greg Schlueter
Jesus Christ through our Church has long exhorted us to maximal participation in public life (CCC, 1915). Indeed, we share the call to claim the world for Jesus Christ. We are called to build the Kingdom. This takes place in the social/political arena. Accordingly, it is incumbent upon us to "speak the language."

Devastating Decline in the Practice of the Faith Must be Fiercely Repelled
Devastating Decline in the Practice of the Faith Must be Fiercely Repelled
By Michael J. McCormick
Closing schools, merging parishes, dwindling vocations and Mass attendance at historic lows, are all current devastating trends within the Catholic Church in the United States. But far from being accepted as the new normal, these harsh realities must be fiercely repelled.

More Than Words
More Than Words
By E.M. McCarthy
Words matter. Anyone who has seen the way news outlets write about abortion will understand why they use words like: abortion providers, anti-abortion protesters, abortion rights activists, abortion foes, access to abortion, and the right to decide. These subtly make pro-lifers out to be heartless and backward and cruel.

With Thanks to Sr Wendy Beckett
With Thanks to Sr Wendy Beckett
By David Torkington
This is the first year that I did not have a Christmas Card from Sr Wendy Beckett. Instead I had a little note from Sr Stephanie, the Prioress of the Carmelite monastery at Quidenham to say that her health was failing, but that she was happy and at peace. She died on 26th December 2019.
