A fun celebration of a beloved Catholic saint has been usurped by a part of our community bent on shouting immorality for all to hear. And where is our Catholic clergy?

A child created within a marital unit and out of love? Those were the old days. These days, we can mix up the “perfect” creation in a petri dish. But at what cost?

The icy fingers of selfishness and callousness have crept into the collective body of society and left its members chilled to the bone

We live in a backward culture that somehow thinks the murder of a child is not only acceptable, but something that should be celebrated and embraced. We’ve allowed minds to become so twisted and confused that they don’t even see the resulting destruction. We say all the time that we must be voices for the preborn, but are we loud enough to be heard over all this noise?

The reason why many pro-life parents have decided not to give their children the MMR vaccine is a shocking one. Part of this vaccine is derived from the cells of aborted babies. This horrid reality presses upon the consciences of many. Yet there is a solution—one that the manufacturer will not consider.

Touted as liberation. Touted as a way for women to take control. The pill has long been described as something positive women should do for themselves. But how often do we hear about its negative consequences and deadly effects? Not often enough. Now is the time for the truth.

We are proud of the actions of clergy who stand up for the truths of the Church and who, despite backlash from secular society, refuse to back down. This is truly what it means to lead. And we must strive to follow this lead—not only in our own hearts, but with our own voices.

The life of a human being is something that should be treasured, valued, and respected. Yet we don’t see that in today’s society when it comes to a tiny preborn baby, a terminally sick individual, an elderly person, or anyone deemed unworthy or unwanted.

We honor the millions of children slaughtered needlessly at the hands of abortionists. It’s the perfect time to remember the importance of actions and the necessity of speaking for those who have been silenced.
