We need Judie’s timeless wisdom now more than ever!
Making Amends for Offending Christ
By Judie Brown These are trying times for faithful Catholics. From the fraudulent Joe Biden who wears his Catholicism like a cheap suit to Catholic prelates who avoid reprimanding Biden, the offenses to the Lord are everywhere. When the president of the United States insults the body of Christ by supporting abortion while claiming to be Catholic, and does so with impunity, we cannot help but...
Catholic Chaos
When bishops don’t lead, the flock will flounder and begin to stray. When bishops don’t speak out, how can we expect anyone else to raise their voices? When Catholics in the public scene repeatedly and without shame disgrace the Church and the body of Christ, yet are not reprimanded for it, how can we expect anyone to follow Church teaching?
The Death Penalty and Justice for All
The skewed view of injustice in our country should make everyone take a step back and look hard at what it truly means to value the dignity of each and every human being. Yet we don’t see an outcry when innocent babies are aborted each and every second of the day. Babies cannot speak for themselves, so it is up to us to speak for them. True injustice lies in the silence.
We Must First Have Mercy
In order to effect change, we must act upon the words of mercy spoken by Christ and the successors of Peter. We must love and care for all of God’s children, with no exceptions, and we must teach others to do the same. If we do this, and help others do this as well, our society will hopefully move away from the culture of death in which it has become entrenched and move toward a culture of life.

A Little Thing Called the Pill
Our society has taken a step away from what used to be thought of as the joys of motherhood and has firmly planted that foot in the weeds of selfishness. Gone are the days of giving selflessly to a family. Here are the days of doing what you want when you want. All with the help of a tiny pill that can magically make problems go away. But is that really the case?
Two Popes and Today’s Sexual Chaos
On Sunday, history will be made as Pope Francis will canonize two new saints Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II. This significant day is also a day to reflect upon their lives and to remember the contribution they made, not only to the Church, but to the world as well.
