In Support of Parental Consent
The administration of hormonal steroids without a parent’s consent also has nothing to do with reducing risky behavior. The risky behavior is promiscuous sex. The great lie is that we can prescribe a magic pill that will, somehow, render this behavior no longer risky. This is simply not the case. More than half of all women whom who seek an abortion – 54% – were using some sort of contraceptive method when they got pregnant [...]
EqME’s Corporate Sponsors
EqualityMaine bills itself as an organization that works to “secure full equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in the state through political action, education, and collaboration.” What “full equality” [...]
Love & Tolerance in Rhode Island
The true face of some who preach love and tolerance often looks more like the face of hatred and bigotry, ironic given that those last two epitaphs are all too often thrown at supporters of God’s design for marriage. Truth be told, there is little tolerance for dissenting views by those who are pushing same-sex [...]
Day of Prayer and Penance Postponed
Due to the death of a priest and arrangements for his funeral, the day of prayer and penance for harm done to survivors and the faithful by past incidents of clergy sexual abuse will be postponed by one week. The Mass will be held at [...]
The Union Battle in Maine
The Wisconsin battle over collective bargaining rights for public sector unions has been slowly inching it’s way onto the radar screen of Maine politics. The new Wisconsin law bans public union collective bargaining for benefits and pensions, but allows unionized government workers to bargain for their pay, as long as pay raises don’t [...]
The Wisdom of Christ’s Vicar – Modern Discipleship
A Christian cannot, in fact, remain inert before the activity of the forces of evil. The fate of your country is in your hands, priests and laymen, all of you who live in Christ and wish to spend yourselves for him…
“I Am an Abortion Provider”
“It is an unfortunate irony that abortion work has been cast to the fringes of medicine. Many of my colleagues, if they know at all what I do — and most don’t and don’t want to know — think that abortion work is for doctors who can’t do anything else. They would rather not know about me [...]

Obama’s Hat Trick
President Obama has made history again. Not to be outdone by his predecessor, he’s just gotten us involved in a third war, this time against Libya. I have to say, I’m with Collins on this one:
SENATOR COLLINS’ STATEMENT ON SITUATION IN LIBYA
“As our nation’s top military officials have stated, we are at war with [...]
Forgiving the Church
I loath lent.
Oh, I know lent is a gift, and I accept it with gratitude. The kind of gratitude a patient has for an impending operation that will cure an ailment, or remove a troublesome tooth.
Every year it seems, I don’t really have to choose a penance, God seems to choose penances for me. He [...]
