Our daughter was abandoned on a sidewalk in the depth of winter. We brought her home and gave her our hearts and taught her why all the trees change in the fall…..

Our daughter was abandoned on a sidewalk in the depth of winter. We brought her home and gave her our hearts and taught her why all the trees change in the fall. When you are pro-life and also a mother by adoption, there is one pro-choice argument that especially hurts. I’m sure you’ve heard it: “An unwanted baby is destined for a bad life. Abortion is probably better for that child.” That’s very hard to swallow when you love a child who was unwanted. My own daughter was abandoned at birth, on a sidewalk in the depth of winter. She was wrapped in a yellow blanket and her umbilical cord was still attached. She was an “unwanted” child — an inconvenient person whose presence in this world comes with a whole set of challenges and dangers to her birth parents. Today she is a cheerful, pretty, t...

When the Sickle Swings: Stories of Catholics Who Survived Communist Oppression…

23 hours ago 23 hours ago “For over half of the twentieth century, across nearly half the globe, the Catholic Faith was repressed, restricted, or outright illegal,” reports Kristen Van Uden in her upcoming book When the Sickle Swings. “From secret Masses in the prisons of Cuba, to clandestine clergy in the catacombs of Bratislava, to showdowns with Soviet tanks on the streets of Brno, Catholics resisted communist persecution in every way they could. Like their ancestors before them, they risked it all for their Faith. Kristen is the editor of Catholic Exchange and author spokesperson at Sophia Institute Press. Her first book, When the Sickle Swings: Stories of Catholics Who Survived Communist Oppression, will be available from Sophia Institute Press on Nove...

Are you listening? At all?

What I am going to say here is really nothing new for regular readers, but my recent trip to Spain brought it to mind again. The question of Church attendance and engagement is of great interest these days – it always has, of course, but in this post-shutdown, post-modern, secularized world, it takes on a new urgency as Catholics (we’ll focus on them/us) ponder the continual decline of everything – Mass attendance, baptisms, weddings, and simply belief. Everyone has a solution, many of them obviously tied to various agendas and specific concerns, including, yes, financial ones. But hardly anyone seems to be operating from what seems to me to be the obvious starting point, something very simple and foundational: Jesus came to redeem the world, people still are yearning for what we know he o...

A Tale of Two Exorcisms…

Chris MacNeil oughta know better, having seen how her daughter suffered previously under the devil’s diabolical dominion. “I may not have witnessed the exorcism,” she recalls, “but I sure as all hell witnessed the possession.” Pun intended. And though she didn’t see the emancipation of young Regan back in the original day of The Exorcist, Chris knew darn well it was Jesus Christ working through two Catholic priests that freed her daughter from the demonic, as so well depicted in the 1973 cinematic classic, a film for which Ellen Burstyn (Chris) should’ve won the Oscar for Best Actress. So why, in the interim between the events of that movie and those of 2023’s The Exorcist: Believer, would Chris need ten years to study all kinds of religious rituals when God had blessed her in knowing that...

Javier Milei Elected President in Pope Francis’ Native Argentina…

SÃO PAULO – With 56 percent of the vote, ultra-libertarian economist Javier Milei was elected Argentina’s next president on Sunday, in a result that in some ways amounts to a referendum on the social and political agenda of Pope Francis in his home country. Milei’s radical economic plans –for instance, adopting the U.S. dollar as the Argentinian currency – and his fierce rhetoric against social policies advanced by left-wing governments have been raising concerns among many in the South American country’s society, including the Catholic Church. In his victory speech, president-elect Milei affirmed that the “end of the Argentinian decadence is beginning” and that “the impoverishing model of the omnipresent state that only benefits some people while most Argentinians suffer” also ends today....

Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who recently announced her conversion to Christianity, dares to live as if God exists…

This weekend, the brilliant formerly-Muslim atheist, writer, and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Ayaan Hirsi Ali announced to the world that she is now a Christian. Almost immediately, suspicions about the sincerity and the reality of her newly claimed faith were voiced by both secular thinkers she left behind and some Christians. Are her reasons for conversion good? Does she know what she is doing? She herself admits, “I have a great deal to learn about Christianity” and “discover[s] a little more at church each Sunday.” But that is not a problem—even the greatest minds of Christian history have a great deal to learn. One of the first names given to Christianity was “the way” (Acts 24:14). Ayaan Hirsi Ali is on the way, not merely thinking Christian thoughts but daring to live as if God exists....

Do not look forward to the changes and chances of this life with fear. Trust in God…..

Steve-not his real name simply stared at me for thirty minutes as he thought about my question. Fifteen minutes before this fateful encounter, Steve had entered my office unbeknownst to my secretary with a prepared list of questions on the Catholic faith. In conversation with a mutual friend, Steve was told that I was the “guy” he needed to see to have his questions about God, Jesus, salvation, and hell answered. As he entered my office, he readily admitted that our mutual friend told him to come see me and that he was here to find out what I knew about faith. Once Steve sat down and fixed his eyes on me, he scanned my office and noticed the books, religious art, and religious statues I had situated throughout. He appeared both amused and dismissive at the holy visuals and immediately turn...

The Holy Eucharist may seem like a lot to swallow for some people. But try as they might, transubstantiation can’t be denied on scientific grounds…..

In 2014 a group of biologists ran a PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) DNA amplification on several biological samples to compare their genetic material to known control samples. There was nothing unusual about the procedure itself; it is used every day in laboratories throughout the world and is a staple of TV crime investigation dramas. What was unusual, indeed unprecedented, is that some of the samples tested were consecrated Eucharistic hosts that had been stolen from several Catholic churches in the US and Canada. These actions were, of course, reprehensible. Aside from the method of obtaining the hosts, the sacrilegious treatment of what Catholics hold most sacred was a deliberate and gross affront. The scientists justified their actions as meant to help “misguided” Catholics come to re...
