Strap in, as we’ll be covering everything you need to know about where the Church stands on Modernity, through the lens of St. John Paul II & Sacred Scripture!

Some people believe that saying “yes” to a request that they don’t want to fulfill automatically makes it a sacrificial offering, while simultaneously believing that saying “no” is akin to a rejection of sacrifice.

While both of these can be true at times, in general, saying “yes” isn’t a good thing if what you were asked to do isn’t something that you should do…

We cover both the how and the why of saying “no”, and some guideposts as to how to judge these situations!

 The Catechism of the Catholic Church 2265

“Legitimate defense can be not only a right but a grave duty for one who is responsible for the lives of others. The defense of the common good requires that an unjust aggressor be rendered unable to cause harm. For this reason, those who legitimately hold authority also have the right to use arms to repel aggressors against the civil community entrusted to their responsibility.”

It seems like it's only become more often that we're questioned why we're pro-life, and it can feel quite discouraging to experience the ridicule time and again. However, the reality is that we can defeat any reasoned argument for abortion, even without bringing faith into the equation!

We cover the 3 key arguments that abortion advocates frequently make, and the corresponding "cheat codes" that allow us to bypass their false reasoning, and hopefully change their minds for good!
