Wow, I totally missed this one! In two previous TOB Tuesday posts last year (!!) I pointed out a 3 part series of columns by Dale O’Leary at Catholic Exchange answering the challenge posed to traditional sexual morality by the “Sexual Revolutionaries” of the last thirty years. After coming across these posts in a recent archive search I noticed that … Read More
Pro-Life Quote of the Day
Got this from a friend of mine on Twitter (are you following me, yet??): The womb is like the altar, it’s the place where God continually comes into the world and does what only God can do, create. – Peter Kreeft Related: An Altar of Life Giving Sacrifice
Miss MI Wins Miss USA With Question About Birth Control
Only because Miss Missouri is a girl I used to babysit ages ago (she made it to the top 10!) did I actually watch most of the Miss USA pageant on NBC last night.
