When I was in kindergarten, way back in 1980, our teacher had us all make a Christmas card for a craft. She told us that we could choose to write either “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays” on the card. That … Continue reading

Just What is Education About
My first born son is in pre-school now. We found a great Catholic pre-school that operates a modified Montessori program. From around the time we moved to the Nashville area, I’ve been thinking about what kind of school we will … Continue reading
The Respect Due People with Same-Sex Attraction vs Gay Rights
A few weeks ago, President Obama has promised to sign an executive order prohibiting companies who do business with the federal government from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. This order is likely his attempt to … Continue reading
Will Religious Freedom Create Corporate Anarchy?

Loss of Religious Freedom: Yes, It Can Happen
By now, readers of this blog are probably familiar with the new Health and Human Services Mandate that requires almost every employer to provide free contraception and abortifacients with their health insurance plans. Our opponents have painted this as a … Continue reading
The Needed Evangilzation
