Revoke NSSM 200 and Apologize for the Evil Done Last week I wrote about the admirable work that the Trump administration is doing to promote the pro-life cause at the international level. It is extremely encouraging to see administration officials forming coalitions with other pro-life nations, in order to push [...]
Pro-life leaders everywhere agree that the sheer amount of pro-life activity undertaken by the Trump administration has far exceeded all expectations. However, what I find remarkable is that this activity includes initiatives that won’t grab big headlines in the media, but that are having a dramatically positive impact on the [...]
The Deadly Connection Between the Moral Issues and the Culture of Death Even many people in the pro-life and pro-family movements do not fully appreciate the deep threads that tie together many seemingly disparate social issues. Contraception, abortion, euthanasia, divorce, pornography, same-sex “marriage”, and gender ideology (to name some of [...]

Legislatures and pluralities of people in state after state voted in favor of marriage amendments that defined marriage as the union of a man and a woman. I can vividly remember [...]
“To evangelize means: to show this path – to teach the art of living ... This is why we are in need of a new evangelization – if the art of living remains an unknown, nothing else works. But this art is not the object of a science – this [...]
Christmas’ Gift and the Dignity of the Human Person “When people begin to ignore human dignity, it will not be long before they begin to ignore human rights.” – G.K. Chesterton Among G.K. Chesterton’s many brilliant aphorisms is the following: “There is a law written in the darkest of the [...]
