The Abandonment of Moral Absolutes
Victor R. Claveau, MJ The Ouroboros is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail, its own waste providing its own food. I submit that this symbol describes modern American society, a degraded serpent intent upon devouring itself. Let us abandon the absurd pretense that modern America is Christian. There has […]
Election Day Diary
Father Jerry J. Pokorsky November 6, 2025 It is possible for two strangers to stand outside a polling place, discuss life and death, faith and truth—and end with mutual kindness. In my usual—well, slightly unkempt—priestly black clothing and white tab collar, I arrived at the voting station this morning, ready to do my civic duty. […]
Abortion & Excommunication
Colin B. Donovan, STL The way the excommunication for abortion works is this: Canon 1398 provides that, “a person who procures a successful abortion incurs an automatic (latae sententiae) excommunication.” This means that at the very moment that the abortion is successfully accomplished, the woman and all formal conspirators are excommunicated. An abortion is defined […]
A Time for Honesty
A Pastoral Statement by The Most Reverend John J. Myers,Archbishop of NewarkMay 5, 2004 Our times demand honesty.

The Question
“The real question today is not when human life begins, but What is the value of human life? The abortionist who reassembles the arms and legs of a tiny baby to make sure all its parts have been torn from its mother’s body can hardly doubt whether it is a human being. The real question for him […]
Question: What is the Catholic Church’s position on abortion in cases or rape and incest? How does the view of other Christian faiths differ (if at all) from that of the Catholic Church?
Answer: Respect for the sacredness of life in the womb originates in Christianity’s Jewish roots. The Roman Catholic Church has always condemned abortion — the direct and purposeful taking of the life of the unborn child. In principle, Catholic Christians believe that all life is sacred from conception until natural death, and the taking of innocent […]
Abortion: Menace to Women & Children, Crime Against Humanity, Economic Disaster, Historic Horror
By Ron Gray, National Leader Christian Heritage Party of Canada It’s absurd, of course, to suggest that abortion is solely “a women’s issue” when half the corpses are male. But since it is an issue of importance to women, let’s consider their concerns first. FACT: Abortion hurts — and sometimes kills — women. First, there is the […]
The Slaughter of the Innocents through Abortifacient Contraception
Bud McFarlane, Sr. / Militia Immaculata Bishop Victor Galeone, on the 35th anniversary of Humanae Vitae, issued his beautiful pastoral, “Marriage: A Communion of Life and Love,” which he opened by referring to contraception as a serious disorder, the taproot of escalating failed marriages and divorce, and a worsening of sexual behavior at every level of […]
Begotten Not Made: A Catholic View of Reproductive Technology
by John M. Haas, Ph.D., S.T.L. In IVF, children are engendered through a technical process, subjected to “quality control,” and eliminated if found “defective.” Infertility is a growing problem in the United States. And in true American fashion, there has been a corresponding growth in a “reproductive technologies industry” to provide a solution. It is […]
