NPR: 'Hot Rhetoric and the Planned Parenthood Shooting'

Joan Frawley Desmond Blogs

Just listened to NPR's On Point show, which offered a forum for debate on "Hot Rhetoric And The Planned Parenthood Shooting."

Grab a cup of coffee and take a few moments to listen to this, if only to hear Mona Charon effectively engage all the issues, as well as the charges that have been leveled at the pro-life movement since the recent shootings at the Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs.

A syndicated columnist and contributor to National Review, Mona Charon's presentation is smart, thorough, respectful, honest and courageous.

People Explain ‘Why I Go to Mass’

‘Why go to Mass on Sundays? It is not enough to answer that it is a precept of the Church. … We Christians need to participate in Sunday Mass because only with the grace of Jesus, with his living presence in us and among us, can we put into practice his commandment, and thus be his credible witnesses.’ —Pope Francis
