Is the Gospel Political?
By Joseph Michael
Is the Gospel political? I suppose the answers will vary depending on who you ask. Some clergy members might say that it is and then rattle off a list of progressive causes such as climate change, racial and gender equality and access to healthcare and say that they feel all Christians have an obligation to champion these causes.

On Ideologues and Collectivist Narratives
On Ideologues and Collectivist Narratives
By Joseph Michael
It has become something of a running joke lately with some of my friends, both in real life and on Facebook, that my intentionally obscure views on certain issues is both perplexing and, in some cases, potentially professionally harmful. That last part is something that I take to heart and I have to carefully discern how to address it

Is There a Solution to the Hatred, Incivility and Violence Ripping our Society Apart?
Is There a Solution to the Hatred, Incivility and Violence Ripping our Society Apart?
By Ralph Zuranski
The hatred and violence in our society will never end until we stop the murder of innocent babies in the womb and the injury of uninformed moms who are not aware of the severe trauma caused by abortion to their bodies, minds, emotions and souls. As long as at least 50% of our society condones and supports abortions or is apathetic, the violence, hatred and incivility will only increase.

Should I Let You Drown?
By Chris Cappannelli, EdD
I recently saw a thread on the page of a Facebook friend of mine that got pretty heated.

Therefore, the consensus among some of those in the thread was “You mind your business and I’ll mind mine”.

Capital Punishment and Its Many Problems ...
Capital Punishment and Its Many Problems ...
By Chris Cappannelli, EdD
There has recently been much discussion as to capital punishment as an implement of judicial consequence for certain crimes. This increased discussion has been the result of Pope Francis’ declaration that, from a catechetical standpoint, capital punishment is morally wrong, and can never be accepted by Catholics as a means to sanction an individual for their deeds.

A Call to All of My Catholic Brothers....Put'er There, Bro!
By Joseph A. Daczko
In my mind’s eye I picture the old Bugs Bunny cartoon where the big rough guy, with his 5 o’clock shadow and the stubby cigar, grabs Bugs’ hand for a shake and squeezes it so hard that Bugs’ hand crushes and each finger sticks out and starts throbbing.

Why do so many Democrats claim to be Catholic?
By De Maria
The Catholic Church emphatically teaches that abortion is a mortal sin worthy of automatic excommunication. The Democrat party stands for abortion on demand and heinously supports even partial birth abortion where a child is murdered after he is born. And yet, many Catholics still vote Democrat.
