Kudos to Kansas Catholic. His struggle to find the right metaphor to present the case against gay marriage has been shared by many. I think he might have found it. So I shall tease you with this and encourage you to read the entire post.
Taking out the trash tonight, I saw a needle on the [...]

A Really Bad Week To Be An Icon
Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson and Billy Mays all gone in a week. Walter Cronkite is gravely ill. I recall when Princess Di was killed the world acted as though we’d lost a saint. Then Mother Teresa was called home a few days later and at least for some, perspective returned.
Friday we celebrated the [...]

Why Did Former Tiller Abortion Mill Employee Join Operation Rescue?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Seeing is believing. The horrific images of the Holocaust led us to say, “Never again!” They are among the reasons that when a lone wacko shoots a single security guard at the Holocaust museum, it becomes international front page news. Yet thousands of innocent babies are [...]

Welcome Archbishop Carlson!
St. Louis has a new Archbishop and Kansas City has a new Metropolitan. For a very impressive collection of dignitaries and photos click here. For his homily click here.
His closing comment:
Let us never forget that, “In the Church there is a diversity of ministries, but there is only one aim — the sanctification of all.” [...]

Separation of Church, State & Sanity
I have never understood this. The term “separation of church and state” gets tossed around like beach balls at an outdoor concert. The Constitution (1st Amendment) simply states that government cannot establish a state religion and that we are free to practice our faith without fear of government reprisal.
Congress shall make no law respecting an [...]

Four New Deacons In Kansas City
Why is it that those dioceses where the bishop or archbishop does not seem to be afraid to speak out on doctrine and the truths of the Church, don’t seem to be suffering from the same vocations crisis that other dioceses are? In addition to 4 recently ordained priests, Kansas City has 3 new Transitional [...]

Planned Parenthood’s Ongoing Guilt By Ongoing Association
Never before in history has it been easier to distance one’s self or organization from words. If a politician or celebrity is quoted and an uproar ensues, dozens of PR handlers rush in and tell us what he or she “meant” to say. And if the media does not carry the “correction”, websites, blogs and [...]

Latest From Kansans For Life
Dear RJ,
People are asking what’s in store for the pro-life movement in Kansas following the murder of abortionist George Tiller. It should go without saying that what happened to George Tiller was horribly wrong because it is murder and we do not condone violence of any kind!
We are pro-LIFE and we can rightly be proud [...]

George Tiller Death Penalty Irony
Again, let me state in the strongest possible way, that the murder of George Tiller was wrong, completely unjustifiable, against everything for which the Pro-Life community stands and merits the maximum penalty under Kansas law. Of course, this would exclude the death penalty as that too is contrary to a Pro-Life position.
That said, I am [...]
