Just last week another report surfaced about a Planned Parenthood employee covering up an obvious statutory rape (I meant to post this last week, but never got around to it). This time the “victim” was a woman posing as a 14 year-old girl who suspects she might be pregnant after being sexually active with a 23 year-old man. Not only … Read More
Excellent: Jeff Fortenberry Addresses Clinton
Video of Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (NE) addressing SOS Clinton and following up on Rep. Chris Smith’s comments about her love for the racist eugenicist Margaret Sanger (h/t Catholic Fire): He even mentions the “genius of woman” I love that! Yes, women deserve better than abortion. The “genius” of woman is her ability to give love freely – in other words, … Read More
The Feast of the Annunciation
Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Annunciation, when the Archangel Gabriel appeared to Mary and announced that she had found favor with God and would conceive and bear a son who would be called the Son of the Most High. This day calls to mind two very specific moments which correspond with the culture of life. The first is … Read More
“Yes, it’s Legalized Murder”
Trailer for the documentary Killing Girls (so named because all of the babies aborted during the filming were girls) about the prevalence of late term abortions in Russia (warning: some nudity and just disturbing content): I saw a little bit of this doc well over a year ago in this video – didn’t know it was part of a bigger … Read More
Who is Separating Pregnant Women from Their Unborn Children?
I seriously wonder if pro-choice people ever really listen to themselves speak. On C-Span Thursday morning I caught Sen. Barbara Boxer arguing with Sen. Orin Hatch against an amendment to codify a rule the Bush Administration put in place adding the “unborn child” as a patient under SCHIP. She claimed that because SCHIP already offered coverage to all pregnant women … Read More
TOB Tuesday: We Were Made Male and Female
I found these short clips from the Theology of the Body for Teens series: TOB segement for guys: TOB segement for girls: The world today, which sees authentic masculinity and femininity as antiquated, sexist ideals, may look at these videos and think: Why the separate advice for guys and girls? They should not be held to different standards in that … Read More
Pray for Pelosi
I am deeply concerned about this woman’s soul – especially as a fellow Catholic. St. (thanks, Paul!) Origen said: God opens the lips of those who utter divine words, and I fear that it is the devil who opens the other people’s. (In Ex hom., 3,2) Do we have to wonder who keeps opening Nancy Pelosi’s? The latest from Pelosi … Read More
St. Monica, Model Wife and Mother
Today we celebrated the feast of the mother of one of the Church’s most celebrated saints. St. Monica, mother of St. Augustine (whose feast day is tomorrow), prayed unceasingly for the conversion of her famous son, and, as we all know, was happily obliged by Our Lord. Not only that, but her husband, Patricius, a pagan with a terrible temper, … Read More
Sacred Femininity
Last Friday I caught an episode of Man and Woman: A Divine Invention with Fr. Benedict Groeschel and Dr. Alice Von Hildebrand. Speaking of the female body, von Hildebrand said that it is significant to note that a woman’s sexual organs, unlike those of men, are hidden – or to use another word, veiled. In the Old Testament the veil … Read More
NFP Works!
After seeing this post on natural family planning that I did yesterday (well, almost early this morning) my good friend Meredith offered this comment: Yes I can attest it WORKS! How many years and doctors did I go to Chelsea before opening the Catholic Missourian one day and seeing “Our Lady Queen of Peace Center” article dealing with NFP and … Read More
