Many people argue that abortion is the greatest evil in our society. I take a slightly different view. I believe that contraception is an equal, if not even greater, evil than abortion is. I say this because of all that has been unleashed since the pill was introduced in 1961 and legalized in 1965, everything from […]

March 22, 2013 by
Confessions: I am a Topekan. It’s a pretty good city, all things considered. Not the best, by far, but good. I’ve grown up “in the shadow” of the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) all of my life. -They’ve picketed my Church (“Sodomite Fag Priests Burn In Hell,” apparently) -They’ve picketed my High School (“Sodomite School News […]

March 11, 2013 by
In 1978, Karol Cardinal Wojtyla became Pope John Paul II. Having earlier written Love and Responsibility which later revolutionized Church teachings on sex and marriage and having been present at the Second Vatican Council, many changes were expected from the first-ever Slavic pope.

March 5, 2013 by
I grew up in the era of dial-up internet, and I remember many of my friends touting the blessings of high-speed internet. A few gamed, but ultimately it was all about one thing: how quickly you could download porn – first pictures, and then video. It’s a temptation most guys face (I’ve talked to priests […]

Two and a half years later in September 2011, Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen active with the al Qaeda terrorist network, was killed in a drone strike ordered by President Obama.

“Preach the Gospel at all times. If necessary, use words.” As a lifelong introvert, I love this quote by St. Francis of Assisi. It spells out the overarching guideline for living our lives, which has far more to do with what we do then how we talk about it. This entry originated from a friend of […]
