Chick-fil-A has Caved, and Here’s Why That Matters As you’ve probably heard by now, Chick-fil-A recently announced that they would no longer donate to The Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). And, like me, you’re probably asking yourself: what was Chick-fil-A thinking? The change marks a radical shift in priorities for Chick-fil-A’s…
In chapter one of the first book of the Bible, we find a remarkable, even revolutionary statement – indeed, a series of such statements. At the end of each day, after God has put the finishing touches on one more part of His creation, He pauses to survey His handiwork. And, the Bible says each…
Perhaps the only thing that should be surprising about a Catholic priest’s recent decision to deny Holy Communion to Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is that anyone is surprised. On Sunday, Oct. 27, Fr. Robert E. Morey at St. Anthony Catholic Church in Florence, South Carolina, refused to give Holy Communion to Biden. Fr. Morey…
The Gruesome Violence of Abortion It should come as no surprise to anybody, but the fact is that many abortionists are not psychologically and spiritually well, to put it mildly.

Openness to Life is at the Center of True Development Solving the world’s problems – serious poverty, hunger, war, disease, etc. – is a complicated business, to say the least. To make even a tiny, lasting dent in a single one of these problems typically requires vast amounts of careful thinking, planning, research, money and…
Pro-Life Assault I am troubled by what appears to be a growing trend of violent attacks on peaceful pro-life activists.
