My love/hate relationship with the Duggars
By Michael Hemphill

Out of the Garden
By Lori Conklin

In the U.S., it was only in 1965 that the Supreme Court ruled that artificial birth control would be legal for married couples (Griswold v. Connecticut)

Funerals and Marriages: The Mission Fields of the New Evangelization
By Melanie R. Cameron
The other day, a very close friend and I were discussing funeral flowers, "It isn't about the person who died anyways," she said. Something in me wanted to disagree. I've heard this phrase often when referring to wedding planning, "It isn't about the couple getting married anyways."

Since When Does Habitual Mortal Sin Constitute A New Human Species?
Since When Does Habitual Mortal Sin Constitute A New Human Species?
By Roberta Lambert
The whole world has gone nuts about this sin. Satan must be giving bonuses to the inventors of this plan to make insanity actually believable to so much of the world. My catholic schooled 16-year-old-nephew is not going to Holy Communion because "He does not want to contribute to the meanness of the Catholic Church in not letting homosexuals get married."

The Real Reason: Why We do Good Works
The Real Reason: Why We do Good Works
By Michelle Watkins
I used to work with an individual who very openly and aggressively challenged my Catholic faith on a frequent basis. Often these ‘attacks’ would leave me feeling sad, frustrated or angry.
