The Pit Bull of the Gateway
If Pope Benedict is our “German Shepherd” then Archbishop Raymond Burke from St. Louis is our pit bull.

Follow the Yellow Brick Road
Janet LaRue has a great column highlighting the fantasy and the false hope perpetuated by ESC research advocates. Proponents of ESCR consider acceptable the destruction of human embryos after we extract their cells. Unlike Munchkinland, however, there are no talking embryos to prick a conscience.

All Life is Sacred
Today is the Anniversary of Roe v. Wade. There is so much that I would like to say, but I have a very busy day today. But I did not want to leave you empty handed all day. Some appropriate reading today would be Humanae Vitae, Pope Paul VI and Evangelium Vitae by JPII. Both are wonderful encyclicals that reflect … Read More
