Benedict: U.S. Catholic colleges should follow the Magisterium in "all aspects of an institution’s life."(cns)
The Associated Press is reporting that President Barack Obama will deliver the commencement address at Notre Dame on May 17.
Pro-life Catholics have set up a protest website. The U.S. bishops in their 2004 document “Catholics in Political Life” say “Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards, honors, or... READ MORE

“It might seem like things are bleak and getting bleaker.” So begins the first editorial in our “Hope for America” series.
“The truth is, there are several things we can do to either ensure that this is the first step of a crushing defeat on the one hand, or the beginning of a new victory on the other.” Readers of “Our President” and this week’s Letters will know where that “first step of a... READ MORE

There’s an important interview at National Review with Marjorie Dannenfelser. It helpfully runs down all the bad news for pro-life during the election, and even finds a little good news. It also includes this memorable exchange:
Lopez: How are you keeping spirits up?
Dannenfelser: Drinking?
The bad news from Dannenfelser:
“In the House, there is a net loss of 15 pro-life votes. In the Senate,... READ MORE

Here’s another cinematic take on pro-lifers’ predicament. I’ll set the scene, in case you don’t remember it (and finish it, in case you don’t want to watch the whole thing). Rocky is seeing his infant son for the first time. Adrienne has been in a coma since the birth, and Rocky has spent that time in church, praying for her.
In obedience to Adrienne’s orders, Rocky goes back to basics,... READ MORE

P.S. (added at a reader’s request on Dec. 1): Please do explore the rest of this site, especially the Hot Topics links at the bottom of the home page. We are 100% pro-life and pro-marriage, and we spent the months before the election educating readers about Obama’s pro-abortion positions. My only point in this post, nearly a month ago, was that many pro-life voters voted for Obama and are excited... READ MORE

Neuhaus, the Reverse Edwards
Posted by Tom Hoopes
Saturday, October 18, 2008 2:31 PM
Father Richard John Neuhaus, with characteristic aplomb, weighs in on the presidential race at the First Things blog in a post titled At Long Last: Obama, Abortion, and the Courts.
In doing so, like a reverse John Edwards from Planet Opposite, he explains how America today is really two nations.
“Political punditry is not my main shtick,” he writes, “and I have no idea whether the debate will... READ MORE
