We need Judie’s timeless wisdom now more than ever!
Aping Clintonianism
By Judie Brown Recalling the William Jefferson Clinton statement that abortion should be “safe and legal, but rare,” we are constantly reminded that when it comes to politics, not much ever changes. In recent days, many of those striving to have a political effect on our nation have echoed similar statements. Ralph Reed, founder and chairman of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, commented on the...
Another Georgetown Outrage
What has happened to childhood? What has happened to respect for families and their abilities to teach children morality? And why should an institute, let alone a Catholic institute, recommend introducing concepts and material regarding sexuality to very young children? It boggles the mind and sickens the soul. Instead of forcing our children to grow up so fast, we should be encouraging them to enjoy their childhoods and preparing them for a life with Christ.
Mothers against Children
In our selfish world, we see motherhood scoffed at, we see babies thought of with disdain and discarded. We see people show more concern for the well-being of animals than for human life. It’s a sickness that has slowly crept into the mindsets of people young and old and it’s a sickness we must find a cure for if we are ever going to break this cycle and make people understand that the lives of all human beings are sacred.
Horror, Exile, and Death
Atrocities against human beings occur every day worldwide. Often we hear an outcry when an offense is especially egregious. But what could be more egregious than the wanton slaughtering of innocent babies or than the premature death of those who are ill? Let us examine the actions, or the inactions, of our daily lives. Souls are at stake.
I Am Not a Rug!
Animals, especially those that are threatened or endangered, deserve our care and protection. But we must not close our eyes to humanity to life that grows within a woman’s womb. Defenseless babies are regularly killed and discarded without much thought or concern. It is time to stop their slaughter.
God Is Not Welcome Here
Like a small child who tells his parent, I can do it myself man has repeatedly pushed God away. We seem to be telling God the same thing, yet it’s not just independence we want from Him; it’s autonomy and control. We are telling God we have no use for Him any longer. We now see the destruction this causes in lives, in families, in society. When will it end?
The Not-So-Great British Influence
The lack of respect for life exists not only in America, but in other countries as well. We see this in a recent assisted suicide proposal and in the widespread support for it in England. It seems the culture of death epidemic knows no boundaries.
