Friday, January 4th, 2008This has been quite a month for CUF episcopal advisor, Bishop John Yanta of Amarillo, Texas. First, he courageously proclaimed the anniversary of Roe v. Wade a day of fast and abstinence in his diocese: “On the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade (1973) Jan. 22 shall be observed in all dioceses of [...]
End of the Innocents?
Friday, December 28th, 2007Today the Church celebrates the Feast of the Holy Innocents, the little boys who were massacred by Herod in an attempt to put the Christ Child to death. These “innocents” are now venerated as martyrs. There is an obvious connection between the Holy Innocents and the victims of abortion, whose deaths are also made possible by political regimes [...]

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007It’s a good day when a secular news source reports–without sarcasm or insult–on an archbishop attending a prayer vigil at an abortion clinic. Check it out. They even included a picture.

It was originally submitted to the Cincinnati Enquirer. For two weeks we have been awash in pink to make us aware of breast cancer. Yet we have seen no mention of three of the most important [...]
Conversion for Life
Friday, September 28th, 2007When I returned to Jesus Christ and His Church in 1984, it wasn’t as though a decade of unchecked sinful habits and behaviors fell by the wayside.
