JUDIE BROWN COMMENTARY

RETURN TO JUDIE’S MAIN COMMENTARY

Men for All Seasons

Controversy appears to have adopted a different framework, and we now have a new adaptation of what it means to be outside the mainstream.

Catholic Bishops Who Dishearten

Catholic leadership often creates a level of discomfort among those of us who believe that today’s culture wars require saints and martyrs rather than politicians masquerading as bishops and priests.

A Child Is Never a Burden

Though fear and worry may dominate a parent’s emotions upon finding out that a child may have Down syndrome, or another genetic abnormality, the birth and sight of their sweet baby allows them to see what a true miracle is each and every child. Today’s commentary shows the unconditional love of a parent through three different people and it reminds us that a child is never a burden.

Then imagine that he hands you a script and says, Take this every day. It has many side effects, including lethal ones. You would be loath to begin this regimen. Yet, this is what countless women do each day when they use contraception to prevent a pregnancy.

Perverse Fruits of IVF

The medical community touts in vitro fertilization as something great, something amazing. But it omits the fact that this procedure is not victimless. Neither is it moral or ethical. Today’s commentary explores the words of Pope John Paul II and the Church and explains what every Catholic should know.

A Cold, Cold Heart

The icy fingers of selfishness and callousness have crept into the collective body of society and left its members chilled to the bone. We see hearts that have been hardened, minds that focus only on material wants and desires, and human beings slaughtered at will. How will we survive?
