We need Judie’s timeless wisdom now more than ever!
The Emperor Has No Clothes
By Judie Brown The expression stated in our title today is used to describe a situation in which people are afraid to criticize someone because the perceived wisdom is that the person is good or important, or in some cases both. We thought about this when reading about Pastor Jeremiah Johnston, who has somersaulted his way into supporting in vitro fertilization—a practice that is contrary to...
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.
Transhumanists Say No to Death
As a society, we are pushing God further and further away from us. We put our faith in science when we should be putting it in God. We are even allowing science to take the place of God. If we continue on this path, we must be aware that, when we intentionally force God out of our lives here on Earth, we may be condemning ourselves to eternal life without Him as well.
Millions of Tiny Crucifixions
As we move further into Lent and toward Good Friday, the day Our Lord allowed Himself to be crucified so that we may have eternal life with Him, we reflect more and more on His suffering. While His crucifixion story had a glorious ending in His resurrection, there is no glorious ending to the daily crucifixion of thousands of preborn babies. Not only is a child needlessly slaughtered, but left behind are wounded mothers, fathers, siblings, and grandparents. What will it take to end this holocaust?
The Crude World of Baby Making
Once thought of as blessings from God, babies are now merely commodities possessions to be tinkered with at whim. And, when they aren’t wanted, or when something goes wrong, we just discard them like trash and start over. Catholic clergy have spoken about this tragedy that has befallen our society, but not enough have used their voices, nor have they spoken loudly enough. We cannot sit back and watch this calamity unfold. It is time for them all to speak loudly.
Yes, Abortion Is Always a Heinous Crime. There Are No Exceptions
The beautiful words of Blessed John Paul II are to be celebrated, pondered, and understood. This holy man truly loved all of God’s children born and preborn and taught that this is how we must live our lives. His inspiring words guide us and teach us. Let us not misunderstand them.
When a Human Being Is Not
For those of us who realize the truth that life begins the moment a child is created arguments suggesting otherwise are inane. When we hear the assertion that a human being is not alive until he is born despite his beating heart, moving limbs, functioning organs, and so on we wonder how anyone could believe this lie. The fundamental right to life is denied every second of every day in America because of this lie and we must not allow this insanity to continue.
