The Ultimate Sin
A friend and I were talking, and for some reason he brought up an old Ozzy Osbourne song, The Ultimate Sin. The song never mentions what this "ultimate" sin is. So of course, the conversation turned speculative. What is the ultimate sin?
The first thing that comes to mind is Judas' betrayal of Jesus. It would be hard to imagine anything that could...

Are Fetal Pain Laws Good?
By now you have probably heard about Nebraska's fetal pain law. It prohibits abortions after 20 weeks, when scientist believe the fetus feels pain. Already pro-abortion forces are rallying to to block the law, and as usual most of the people writing about it are totally ignorant of facts. One of my favorites from TAPPED:
"Only one scientist seems firmly...

What you can do about the abuse scandal
The most positive, helpful thing you can do is pray for the Pope, who is under daily attack for the sins of others. Please join me in supporting the Knights of Columbus in this effort. It only takes a minute or so, for nine days.
"All Knights of Columbus are encouraged to join in a special novena for Pope Benedict XVI, beginning Divine Mercy Sunday,...

A post about how homosexual rights lobbyists were hoist with their own petard.

Good Friday
O sacred head, surrounded by crown of piercing thorn!
O bleeding head, so wounded, reviled and put to scorn!
Our sins have marred the glory of thy most holy face,

I see thy strength and vigor all fading in the strife,
and death with cruel rigor, bereaving thee of life;
O agony and dying! O love to sinners free!
Jesus, all grace supplying, O turn thy face on me.
In this thy bitter passion, Good Shepherd, think of me
with thy most sweet compassion, unworthy though I be:

Losing Faith
I've been away from the "news" for a few days, spending time with my family. So I "missed" the big New York Times pope bashing article, and am catching up on the repercussions, and the continuing "pope hunt". What I see is a disturbing lack of faith.
Our "justice" system, and indeed, most of the western world's, is supposedly based on impartiality...
