The Sin of Blasphemy is NOT "Free Speech"
By Larry Peterson
Asia Bibi, a mother of five and a Catholic, languishes in a Pakistani prison. She has been there for five years. She waits for them to come and drag her to the gallows where she will be hanged by the neck until dead. Why? Because, to the Muslims, working alongside her in the fields, she was an "Infidel".

5 Uncommon Reasons to Keep Your Unborn Child
By Matthew Sewell
When St. John Paul II walked out onto the balcony after being elected pope in 1978, the first words out of his mouth were, “Be not afraid!!” Those were strong words back then, when many Christians across the world, including in his home nation of Poland, were being severely oppressed under Communist rule.

So You're a "Person of Faith" and "PRO-Choice"? Really? Which Faith?
So You're a "Person of Faith" and "PRO-Choice"? Really? Which Faith?
By Frank Lloyd
With the forty-first Anniversary of the “Roe vs. Wade” decision almost upon us, I am hoping someone might provide an answer to and clear up a question I’ve had for many years now. I often hear many of those who claim to be “people of Faith”, including some people that I deeply care for, say that they are “Pro-choice” and make declarations such as, “Although I’m against it, I would never IMPOSE

End does not justify the means. What does this mean? The misunderstanding and misapplication.
End does not justify the means. What does this mean? The misunderstanding and misapplication.
By John Chan
The end doesn’t justify the means! As Catholics, we know this already. As per the Catechism of the Catholic Church: 1756 It is therefore an error to judge the morality of human acts by considering only the intention that inspires them or the circumstances (environment, social pressure, duress or emergency, etc.) which supply their context.

Remembering "THE PICTURE" Killing"Little Christy"
Remembering "THE PICTURE" Killing"Little Christy"
By Larry Peterson
If there is one thing that is etched into my mind when I think back about the year of 2014 it is THE PICTURE. I am not trying to be graphic or shocking or anything like that. I am just trying to show how an innocent child can be brutally murdered on camera because she was born Christian, killed for propaganda purposes, and the outcry from the world is barely audible. I do not understand.

Duc In Altum: Put Into The Deep Discernment Retreat with Bishop Donald Hying
By John Paul Bender
This past weekend I went on a silent discernment retreat at Saint Francis de Sales Seminary. It had been quite a while since I had been on one. The retreat was called Duc In Altum, which literally means, to "put out into the deep" and although I didn't realize that it was a silent retreat when I signed up to go, it was exactly what I needed at this moment in my life.

When Thinking "Family", Two Teenagers Set the Bar For Us All
By Larry Peterson
The Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of the Holy Family on the Sunday following Christmas. If you are among the millions of folks who never pay an iota of attention to this family, maybe you should. Why? Because this is the family that "set the bar" for all families.

"Peace on Earth"; Humility is the Key and the Christ Child is the Answer
By Larry Peterson
Peace on earth? Where is it? Is it in Syria? How about Pakistan? It is not in Sudan or Iraq. It is definitely not hanging out in Afghanistan or Iran. Pakistan?—God help us. How about Russia and Ukraine and Ferguson, Missouri?

You Can't Be Christian and Support Torture
By Alex Johannigman
When I heard the news concerning the brutal torture techniques that have been used by the CIA to extract information from prisoners, and that the administration had been less than honest about both the techniques used and the usefulness of the information that was extracted, I was embarrassed for our country.

Call Me Crazy
Call Me Crazy
By Michelle Watkins
One of the saddest sights for me is to see a Christmas tree dismantled and sitting curbside for pick-up on the evening of Christmas day. Call me crazy, but by 8 p.m. on the 25th I'm just not in the mood to box everything up and move on.
