George Tiller Murder As Wrong As The Late-Term Abortions He Mastered

News arrives this morning of the murder of Dr. George Tiller, the late-term abortionist.  He was gunned down by an unknown gunman as he arrived at Reformation Lutheran Church in Wichita where he was a member.
This is a horrible event, every bit as horrible as the thousands of late-term abortions he performed.  It is critical [...]

The Daniel Hauser Circus in Minnesota

13 years ago, Colleen Hauser decided not to have an abortion.  For all I know the thought never entered her mind.  She was likely overjoyed at the thought of having a child.  She gave birth to a son, Daniel.  Had she chosen to abort Daniel, the state of Minnesota would have defended her right to [...]

Memorial Day – We Give Thanks

And we remember with insufficient gratitude.

Pope Benedict Got It Right – In 1917

There were many plots and sub-plots to come from the recent Notre Dame scandal.  But among the positives were the direct and very public statements from over 70 bishops and countless priests, correctly guiding their flocks.  One can only pray that their words planted seeds that will grow.  Meanwhile, there is the issue of the [...]

I’ll Assume This Also Includes The Young At Heart. Or At Least Wannabes

Vatican City, May 20, 2009 / 11:21 am (CNA).- Pope Benedict XVI is calling upon young people to evangelize using the Internet as the Church prepares to celebrate the World Day for Social Communications.
At the end of his Wednesday general audience, the Holy Father launched an appeal asking that cyberspace be a place that [...]

Because Sometimes You Just Need A Fuzzy Kitten Picture To Make It Better

Here’s Yet Another “Pro-Choice” Image: An 80 Year-Old Priest Being Arrested

This while Notre Dame and the President were “inviting dialog”…
So which side of this issue are you on and what are you going to do about it?   Please start by sharing this with your friends.  I still say that we will not win this battle until it leaves the debate floor and enters the deepest [...]

Thank You Father Jenkins!

There are the pessimists who see a glass as half-empty.  There are the optimists who see it as half-full.  And then there are the engineers who simply see a glass that is not properly sized.
I like to think of myself as a “half-full” guy.  I see evil in the world and wonder what greater good [...]

How About A Cage Match: “Man-Made Global Warming” vs “The Gay Gene”?

In the race to see which of these frauds is officially debunked first, The Gay Gene took a leap forward.  The American Psychological Association (APA) has revised a pamphlet which had previously tilted toward the suggestion of a strong biological element:
“There is considerable recent evidence to suggest that biology, including genetic or inborn hormonal factors, [...]

A Lucky Shot

Nothing profound, I just thought this was a nice image with which to start the week.  Shot it on vacation a couple of years ago.  I just happened to be in the right place and pressed the right button at the right time.  More proof that sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good!

Don’t Shoot Until You See The Whites Of Their Eyes!

I was grateful that this late-night visitor did not offer red eyes.  While easily fixed with a photo editor, it’s not the image with which you want to end Mother’s Day.

Nothing Says “Happy Mother’s Day” Like Funding An Abortion

Back in April I posted on Hillary Clinton receiving the Margaret Sanger award from Planned Parenthood and the courageous comments by Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) “We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.”
Today Jack Smith over at the Catholic Key Blog has an outstanding piece on the [...]

Goin’ Cold Plurkey

My name is RJ Sciurus.  And I’m a Plurkaholic.
One of the original thoughts I had with this blog was exploring the unique challenges that are presented to Catholic husband father business owners.  They are unique.  We have our first obligation to God.  Then to our spouse.  Then to our kids.  And then to a second [...]
