A Tragic Day for the Boy Scouts
It is a crime against boyhood, manhood, and the honor of a once noble institution. More seriously, it is an obscene gesture sent Heavenward. Homosexual youth will be admitted to the BSA starting January 1 of 2014. The sodomite camel’s nose is now under the Scouts’ tent, and the unholy cause will continue to go from strength to strength as the rest of its malign … More →
Herald’s Margery Eagan Not Confused with Facts
May 17, 2013 Letters, Boston Herald P. O. Box 55843 Boston, MA 02205-5843 To the Editor: With her usual indifference to the facts, Margery Eagan parrots the party line of pro-abortion activists and claims that Savita Halapanavar, the Indian immigrant to Ireland, died in an Irish hospital because she was denied an abortion, (O’Malley goes one step too far, 5/14/2013). The coroner’s inquest found the … More →

(Life Dynamics Inc.) Life Dynamics Inc. a national pro-life organization located in Denton, Texas, has released an interview with three former abortion clinic workers which prove the Pennsylvania abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell, recently convicted of murder, is not an anomaly.

Obama’s Scandals
Concerning the recent avalanche of scandal for the Obama White House, Politico ran a story with this unbelievable sentence: “Top GOP sources acknowledge that it’s highly unlikely the White House was directly involved in the IRS mess, but the probe is sure to add to the Republican-spun narrative of Democratic, Big Government overreach.” Can anyone really deny that there is Big Government overreach here? The … More →
Boston College Trounced for Honoring Pro-Abort, Anti-Catholic Irish PM

Anti-Family Statists Kidnap Baby
Reading stories like this, one waits for Rod Serling or M. Night Shyamalan to make a cameo. Only they don’t, because it’s real… (The Blaze) Following a Monday court ruling, Anna and Alex Nikolayev are one step closer to regaining full custody of their infant son. As previously reported by TheBlaze, the Russian couple, currently living in Sacramento, Calif., had their baby “snatched” up by police … More →
Archbishop Piero Marini: ‘Civil Right’ to Unnatural Unions
Call me a troglodyte, but it was my impression from Catholic moral teaching that nobody has a “right” to do what is contrary to the law of God, whether we consider that portion of the law that is supernaturally revealed, or that which was written on the heart. (NCR/John Allen) Another veteran Vatican figure has signaled openness to civil recognition of same-sex unions in the … More →
On Bombs, Babies, and Boy Scouts
The nation is still reeling from the tragedy of the Boston Marathon bombing, and one of the two suspects is still at large as I write. Three people were killed, thirteen had limbs amputated, and 170 others are still hospitalized. There is no trivializing the senseless violence — the evil — that has been perpetrated. In Philadelphia, Kermit Gosnell’s trial is in week six. Gosnell … More →
Potty-Mouthed, Pro-Death Prof. Policed
File this one under “I” for “inmates running the asylum.” (LifeNews.com) A college professor has been arrested for a profane rant at pro-life students at the University of Buffalo. Professor Laura Curry screamed at students, yelling at them: “Where does it say I can’t use the [not nice] word in public. I can swear because that’s part of my vocabulary. That’s part of my First … More →
Mystery, Obama’s Brain Research Project (and the Pope)
One supposes it may be seen as in questionable taste to cite one’s own work, but that is what I am about to do here. I hope the reader will indulge me. I’m not simply plugging a book. There is a point. Young Tony and the Priest; Coming to Belief in an Age of Unbelief, a novella by me published by Loreto Publications, is a … More →
Morris Dees and the Southern Poverty Law Center, Scaring Donors Since 1971
Being the SPLC’s poster child for evil Catholic “hate groups” is looking more and more like a badge of honor of which I am entirely unworthy. The Weekly Standard has a piece on the SPLC and its fundraiser-in-chief. Disgust at this organization has gone mainstream. Thanks to the generosity of four decades’ worth of donors, many of whom—as SPLC president Richard Cohen himself noted in … More →

Sophists Running the Academy
You’ve no doubt heard the expressing “lunatics running the asylum.” Well, The Telegraph reports that a new article, published in the Journal of Medical Ethics, says newborn babies are not “actual persons” and do not have a “moral right to life”. The academics also argue that parents should be able to have their baby killed if it turns out to be disabled when it is born. … More →
Planned Parenthood Official Defends ‘Post-Birth Abortion’
The twisted logic of those advocating “choice” on the abortion question unravels pretty quickly. Here, a representative of Planned Parenthood, the wealthy abortion giant, advocates for a woman’s “right” to have a baby that survived a botched abortion killed on the spot — after consultation with her health care provider, of course. The same empty rhetoric we’ve heard for years sounds just a bit more … More →
Buchanan Neatly Outlines the Problem. Solution? Catholicism!
Patrick J. Buchanan outlines the problem of America’s descent into moral chaos as highlighted by the phenomenon of homopseudomarriage. An excerpt from his article is found below. Where there is no common race, ethnicity, culture, or polity, what can hold a people together as one gigantic nation the size of the U.S.A.? Arguably, nothing. But, if anything can, it is the religion — that same … More →
