In her November 12 article , Washington Post staffer Jacqueline L. Salmon reported on how Catholic bishops are describing the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) as "an attack on the church." Yet it's not so much an attack on the church, but an attack on the sanctity of human life and the provision of hospital care that the Catholic bishops are worried about. Nonetheless, the headline wording choice -- "Bishops...

I just want to apologize for all the “unrelenting personal attacks launched from right-wing Catholic [though it's not limited to that, of course] keyboards-blogs (and bloggers) so coarse and uncivil they make the insults of talk radio sound like actual journalism” that have got you so down right now. I also want to apologize for “right-wing” zealots’ inability to overlook Obama’s pro-abortion positions,...

This isn’t really news, but I think it needs emphasizing anyway; a vote for Obama is a vote for partial-birth abortion. He will see to it that partial-birth abortion happens in this country again. Partial-birth abortion is a “procedure” in which the abortionist stabs the baby in the skull with a pair of scissors and [...]

Note: This is the third of what will be 13 daily posts on why Barack Obama is a dangerous, objectionable, and objectively unfit candidate to be president of the United States (while many of the other candidates are not). Part 1 (Obama “Part of the Problem” on Fan and Fred) is here. Part 2 (”Energy”) [...]

A quick round-up from the grid over recent days: For starters, lest anyone missed it the first time, the Holy See's Final Report (15-page pdf) of the 2005-6 Apostolic Visitation of US Seminaries, with the cover-comments of the US bishops' chair for Clergy, Consecrated Life and Vocations, Cardinal Sean O'Malley OFM Cap. of Boston. In its biggest stride yet into the world of new media and Web 2.0, come...

Last week Barack Obama raised eyebrows on all sides by tampering with a foundational principle of legalized abortion, the Supreme Court's purposefully vague and all-encompassing "health" exception. As defined in Roe v Wade's companion case Doe v Bolton , it is: "all factors - physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman's age - relevant to the well being of the patient" (with Chief...

Why is the gay community so upset that Pastor Rick Warren set to speak at Obama's inauguration ? It might have something to do with this letter he sent out in support of Prop 8: "For 5,000 years, EVERY culture and EVERY religion -- not just Christianity -- has defined marriage as a contract between men and women. There is no reason to change the universal, historical definition of marriage to appease...

Responding to Critics: The Record on Abortion “What have conservatives ever accomplished on abortion? They talk about abortion during elections, but they never do anything. After 20 years of Republican presidents, nothing has changed. We need to try a different approach; we can save more lives by trying to reduce the number of abortions and not [...]

Readers of this blog know the esteem I hold for Robert P. George --in my view (and that of many others), he is one of the great moral philosophers and public intellectuals of our time. With a law degree and a theology degree from Harvard, and a doctorate from Oxford, he currently serves as McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University, and as the director of the James Madison Program...

Obama has promised, if elected, to make it a major priority to sign the "Freedom of Choice Act." Currently, if you are in the medical profession and are opposed to abortion, you can 'opt out' of performing them or participating in them in any way. The Freedom of Choice Act is "a bill that would effectively strike down every guideline, regulation, restriction, and limit on the multi-billion dollar abortion...

Your Business Blogger(R) teaches business, marketing and management at the local college. I like to remind students and clients that the hardest product to sell is an intangible, an idea. The easier product to pitch has tangible characteristics -- it has a form that can be introduced through the senses, a product that can be seen and touched. One of the most interesting marketing campaigns of the...

At this morning’s National Prayer Breakfast, President Obama referenced God and the value of innocent human life. From a First Things blog by Ryan Sayre Patrico, here’s an excerpt of what the president said (emphasis is mine): “But no matter what we choose to believe, let us remember that there is no religion whose central tenet [...]

Policy - and rhetoric - often have ramifications far beyond the crowd applauding before you. For instance - Auxiliary Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Chicago warned of "devastating consequences" to the health care system, insisting Obama could force the closure of all Catholic hospitals in the country. How? Here's how : If the Freedom of Choice Act passes Congress, and that's a big if, Obama has promised...
