Tell me more! What is this "Vision for Children" you're talking about? It sounds great. How wonderful that children are conceived or born thanks to the generosity of faithful men and women. More souls to give eternal glory to God! I am in a dialogue currently with a multitude of pro-abortion women a...

I agree 100% Steve 7150. In our world, we have a consumeristic mentality in which children are seen as burdens, not blessings. I think one of the best "things" we could give our children is not a boat, or a glamourous pre-college vacation, but.... another sibling, to teach sharing, sacrifice, workin...

Brad, it sounds to me like you are a great guy to engage the culture here, and you can help to bring Christian principles to this company.

Not that you can go in and change the marketing ads all at once or ever, but I'm sure your Christian witness will bring glory to God.

The Birth Dearth of Europe and Japan

Europe and Japan’s Birth Dearth More is less, and less is more? This mantra of many in our society holds some truth. Yet when it comes to the ultimate natural resource- human lives, industrialized Western nations find that dwindling populations haven’t brought a modernist’s utopian society. Quite th...

After getting "partial-birth abortion" outlawed, the next step would be to get people to understand the terrible pain babies undergo when they are aborted in the third trimester. I thought that partial birth abortions referred to babies that were aborted in the third trimester. Could someone please...

Slavery too was approached from a moral standpoint, with some success. Ultimately, it took the law to end it. I can see some people stating that slavery should be unthinkable, but not illegal. Thankfully, we can STILL legislate some morality in this country, such as stealing, killing of adults and s...

Hello Steve, Thanks for a lively discussion. You state about St. Thomas More: "his (alleged) torturing of protestants in his basement leaves much to be disired." What? I have never heard this of the supremely virtuous Lord Chancellor. Could this be something that the English made up to make him look...

Thank you, Liseux, for that quote from Eusebius indicating that the Corinthians accepted Clement's admonition. As you know perhaps, until 1054 the Christian Church, the Catholic Church, was of one faith, when the Orthodox split from the Catholic Church. Heretical groups did crop up, but did not las...

Hello Paidon, Although I did bring up Clement as a bishop to demonstrate his authority, I didn't focus on the fact that he was the Bishop of Rome (pope), or that he appeared to be throwing his weight around as the holder of the See of Rome. Rick asked explicitly to avoid the ol' Catholic versus Prot...

Hello Steve, Great to interact with you! I am quite familiar with the Church split that Henry VIII brought on, as St. Thomas More is one of my favorite saints. His feast day my family and I celebrated just Friday! A great man... As you know perhaps, until 1054 the Christian Church, the Catholic Chur...
