We need Judie’s timeless wisdom now more than ever!
The Death of Principle
By Judie Brown The world is turning upside down. One by one, people are dying like flies because they either want to die or because they want their babies to die. The Hippocratic principle of “first do no harm” is now a relic. In Peru, a psychologist who contracted a rare disease went to court to get permission to kill herself and it was granted after she argued, “I want to accede to euthanasia...
The Persecution of Sister Jane Dominic Laurel
Teaching the truths about homosexuality, chastity, adultery, and how God wants us to live our lives is not always an easy thing to do. Nor is living that life. But God asks that we do our best nevertheless, for our ultimate goal is eternity with Him. We cannot plead ignorance. We cannot justify that we chose otherwise. God’s word is the truth, and though some may try to silence those who tell the truth, it doesn’t change the facts.
Surrogate Parenting Is Wrong!
Women selling their bodies as vessels has become an increasingly common commodity in today’s society. But the moral implications are far-reaching, and the emotional tolls are becoming visible. When science trumps God’s plan, and aims to override His will, calamity is sure to result.
Beware! Your Signature Could Kill You!
Some say ignorance is bliss, but when it comes to your health, ignorance can be a death sentence. With the changes in the medical community and its policies, this is certainly no time to plead ignorance. We must educate ourselves, our aging parents, and our families as to our wishes and to Church teaching. Today’s commentary will help us along this path.

In fact, it is doing almost everything in its power to discard morality and God, as evidenced in today’s commentary.
The Pope and Obama Seeds of Good and Evil
Jesus told us that, if we have faith the size of a mustard seed, we can move mountains. Yet the seeds most prevalent in society today are not those that bloom into something beautiful, but those that breed discontent, doubt, animosity, or even death. The seeds of life planted within a womb are repeatedly slaughtered. But our faith must remain. If we are to move mountains soften the countless hardened hearts we must rely on God. And we must pray.
Catholics Must Be Courageous
It can be difficult to stand up for our faith, for what is right and good, for what we know to be the will of God. We need good leaders clergy who will set that example and show us the way, but we cannot rely only on them. We must also set the example. We must have the courage to take the lead so that others may do the same. And it is only in God that we will find this strength.
