The face of persecution against the Catholic Faith is raising its ugly head again. The poor queen, Marie Antoinette, one of the first victims of sound bite and misquotation by the fourth estate (the press) was victim of the type of calumny that can be created by the Revolutionary against those who resist Change For [...]

Today is a modern equivalent of Bastille Day, with homosexual unions now being processed in California.
It is a matter of time before the homosexual couple with legal paper is regarded as a legitimate form of “family” and of sexual expression. In the wake of this normalization of what used to be regarded as aberrant and [...]

I insist and have always insisted that the crime of abortion is the natural outcome of the acceptance of the secularization of marriage and the acceptance of divorce in post-catholic civilization.
