7/12/24 - Have you heard about the new National Republican Party Platform? The American right's new agenda keys in on issues such as immigration, the economy, and others - all while scarcely mentioning the battle for life. Hidden within the document, however, we find that the Republicans are officially opposing a federal abortion ban and handing over the decision on limits to the states in an effort to win the votes of those in swing territories. What has the public reaction been thus far? Have the Republicans sold themselves out by downplaying the issue, and could it come back to bite them down the road?

7/3/24 - Have you ever heard of St. Marie of the Incarnation, whose feast day we celebrate on April 30th? Canonized by Pope Francis in 2014, this seventeenth-century French missionary nun was crucial to the spread of the Catholic faith in New France (modern day Quebec, Canada). Fun fact: because of this, a statue of her still stands today in front of the Quebec Parliament building! Join us today as we share her story.

7/2/24 - After joining us for Testimony Tuesday last week to share some of his personal background, John-Mark Miravalle returns to discuss his book Beauty: What It Is and Why It Matters.

What we moderns have forgotten, the ancients knew well: true beauty heals the soul, draws us to God, and yields lasting happiness. Rich with the wisdom of Plato, Augustine, Aquinas, and St. John Paul II, the book unpacks perennial truths about beauty and rivet them into your soul, opening the eyes of your understanding to the beauty all around us. With the help of these pages, you'll receive fresh eyes to marvel again (or for the first time) at the beauty of nature, music, art, architecture, and, most importantly, the beauty of God, the fountainhead and exemplar of all things on earth that are beautiful.
