Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”
Headlines say one thing, moral logic says another. We sat down with Phil Lawler to unpack the storm around a lifetime award for Senator Dick Durbin, the so-called “consistent ethic of life,” climate pageantry, and immigration debates—and to draw bright lines between intrinsic evils and prudential judgments. If you’ve felt whiplash from Vatican sound bites, this conversation gives you a filter: read statements carefully, rank issues rightly, and refuse to let media spin define what the Church teaches.
We start with the core: abortion is never a matter of tactics; it is the deliberate taking of innocent life. From there, we examine how the seamless garment gets misused to excuse politicians who support grave evils while scoring points on secondary issues. On climate, we affirm stewardship without baptizing contested policy schemes or celebrity summits, and on immigration we hold dignity and border control together, insisting that assimilation and cultural preservation are part of the common good.
