Culture of Death Advances in UK

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet / July 14, 2025 /

A Quiet Genocide: New Eugenics and Down Syndrome

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet / July 7, 2025 /

Many people think that the eugenics movement perished with the death of Adolf Hitler and the end of his Third Reich. They couldn’t be more wrong. In his campaign for racial purity, Hitler rounded up and executed millions of Jews, as well as people with physical or mental disabilities, gypsies, and other unwanted individuals deemed…

The Father’s Heart: Healing the Wounds of a Fatherless Generation

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet / June 16, 2025 /

June: Healing the Culture Through The Sacred Heart

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet / June 2, 2025 /

It’s June. You know what that means, right? It means it’s the month of the Sacred Heart, of course! Unfortunately, some of my readers will have thought to themselves, with sorrow, “It’s Pride month.” I don’t blame those who did. That’s how effective the architects of the culture of death are.

What Easter Teaches Us About Human Dignity

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet / April 21, 2025 /

“In a world where everything is on the same level, everything becomes sadly equal. A profane, I would even say a profaned, world is a joyless world. Basically, the loss of the sense of the sacred is reason for sadness. How enchanting it is for a young altar server to approach the altar for the…

Two Decades Later: The Fight of Terri Schiavo

By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet / April 14, 2025 /

Twenty years ago, a large crowd gathered outside a hospice in Florida where they held a 24-hour round-the-clock prayer vigil.
