123 Vote
Less than 60% of people who attend church are registered to vote. Only 1 in 4 actually do. That’s why Washington thinks it can get away with taking over private industry, ignoring a skyrocketing national debt, brushing off soaring unemployment, turning health care on its head. What can you do TODAY? There’s a neat little project making its way…
The Archangels
The angels are God’ messengers, his host of adorers and our protectors. On this, the Feast of Saints Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, it would well to remember the prayer of St. Michael, written by Pope Leo XII who on the verge of the bloodiest century in human history, saw fit to appeal to the heavenly hosts in defense of all mankind…

A Catholic Reader’s Thanks: Josef Pieper
That such a man, and such a body of work, was able to come from Germany throughout the course of its most tumultuous period is nothing short of remarkable. For Pieper, I imagine, his life’s work was merely the continuation of the ideas of other men who came before him.
The Daily Chesterton, Sept. 27
“Unless we have a moral principle about such delicate matters as marriage and murder, the whole world will become a welter of exceptions with no rules. There will be so many hard cases that everything will go soft.”
Catholic Comics
The Treasure Chest of Fun & Fact was a Catholic comic book published by George A. Pflaum of Dayton, Ohio and provided to Catholic parochial school students between 1946 and 1972. Thanks to the Catholic University of America, many of the earlier issues have been digitized and are available on-line. This little [...]
The Ecumenical Journey
It should be no secret to the Christian world that the rift between the Anglican / Episcopal Communion and orthodox (little “o”) Christianity is growing ever wider. The recent migration of what is known as the Traditional Anglican Communion (TAC) over to the Church in Rome was no small historical event and was only highlighted [...]
NRLC Commends “Pledge to America”
WASHINGTON — The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), the nationwide federation of right-to-life organizations, commended U.S. House Republican leaders for including critical pro-life priorities in the “Pledge to America” action plan that is being released today.
The “Pledge to America” outlines a plan of action that the Republican leaders say they will pursue if Republicans [...]
The Theology of the Body
The Theology of the Body (TOB) can be looked at as a Christian response to a sexual revolution whose crowning achievement was the relegation of the human person to the status of mere object. At the core of TOB is the notion that our embodiment as male and female has significance…
