In a piece entitled “Nation Bans Minors From Entering Mosques,” the Huffington Post has reported that the authoritarian secular government of Tajikstan has outlawed minors from entering Islamic mosques, and requires everyone under 18 to attend secular school. The crackdown on Islam is a not-subtle attempt to destroy his chief rivals, the Islamic Revival Party. Having only… Continue reading Government Outlaws Islam, Liberal Atheists Applaud

“Gendercide”: 160 Million Baby Girls Killed for Being Girls
The generally left-leaning Foreign Policy has published a jaw-dropping article written by a pro-choice reporter, Mara Hvistendahl, who documents how an unholy alliance between the US government, the United Nations, population control groups, and Planned Parenthood lead to the death of 160,000,000 unborn children for nothing more than being female. This wasn’t some backwards culture somewhere “out there.” This… Continue reading “Gendercide”: 160 Million Baby Girls Killed for Being Girls
The Red Herring of Celibacy for the Kingdom
Like Joe, I grew up the the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph. The diocese is currently undergoing a painful time. Prayers for the people, clergy, and bishop are most necessary. As we celebrate the tremendous Feast of Pentecost, Christians of good will should ask for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the Church in… Continue reading The Red Herring of Celibacy for the Kingdom
Osama bin Laden Killed
A word of sincere thanks to our president, and our men and women in uniform, for taking the fight to Osama, and winning. To know that the head of the sworn enemy of the United States is finally dead is a relief. But the Vatican’s response is a sobering reminder for all of us: Al Qaeda… Continue reading Osama bin Laden Killed
Abortion and the Budget Debate, Recap.
Well, the budget debate is finally over. Truly a mixed blessing. Funding for Planned Parenthood stayed, funding for abortions in D.C. were nixed, and the government didn’t shut down. For Republicans, this was all that they could have hoped for, given that they control “one-half of one-third of the government,” as Boehner put it. As… Continue reading Abortion and the Budget Debate, Recap.
The Disturbing Political Reality We Face on Abortion
Today, something truly telling is occurring. One of the two major political parties has made it clear, and quite publicly, that they would rather shut down the entire federal government than give up these two priorities: Hundreds of millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood; Taxpayer-funded abortions in the District of Columbia (where more than one… Continue reading The Disturbing Political Reality We Face on Abortion
“Female Catholic Deacon” Comes Home to the Church
Rutgers University is planning on hosting an event in which it claims that a woman named Patricia Fresen is a Roman Catholic bishop. Seriously: “Roman Catholic Bishop Patricia Fresen, one of only three ordained female bishops in the world,” will lecture at the university at 12:20 p.m. April 15, according to a Rutgers news release.… Continue reading “Female Catholic Deacon” Comes Home to the Church
Signs of Hope on the Horizon in the Abortion Battle
It’s always heartwarming to see things like this. A pro-life Chicago flash mob called, fittingly “LIFE Mob” took to the streets to honor Pro-life Action League founder and president, Joseph Scheidler, and to counter-protest a pretty ugly pro-choice protest. As Mark Shea said,” I love that they are so young!” Anyone familiar with March for Life knows… Continue reading Signs of Hope on the Horizon in the Abortion Battle
Google’s Annual April Fool’s Day Prank
Every year, Google puts together some pretty hilarious stuff for April Fool’s Day. Last year, they changed their name to “Topeka” for the day (since Topeka had changed its name to “Google, Kansas” for a month, in hopes of wooing Google; it didn’t work — they went an hour down the road to Kansas City,… Continue reading Google’s Annual April Fool’s Day Prank
Why’s New York City’s Population Growth Slowing? Abortion.
Here’s something I thought I’d never see: the New York Times is lamenting slow population growth. In New York City, no less. It turns out, the reasons for their concern are political — the Times is worried about a less political powerful New York, and what that means for the DNC (although they stop short of saying this… Continue reading Why’s New York City’s Population Growth Slowing? Abortion.
