The failure of the pro-life movement

I know, I know I haven’t posted in a super long time and I apologize for that guys. Life has been busy, but this post should keep you satisfied until I make another post, which should be coming soon!

Protection or Paranoia: Reloading the Gun

Now, this is the part 2 that I promised in my post about a week ago. I won’t cover everything, since I believe this is going to be more of an ongoing “series” than anything else. For this one, I want to talk about the idea that guns provide “protection” or “self-defense”. People seem to increasingly feel it is within their rights to own ludicrous firearms that go above and beyond that dictum.

The Walsh Awakens: Matt Walsh Stares into the Trump and the Trump Stares Back

I never reblog posts, but this one warrants a share. It hits so many things on the nose of Trump, Matt Walsh, and the issues with the political Right in this country. My fellow American Catholics would do well to read this post and heed what is written here.

I have kept numerous blogs in the past five/six years and I think I was getting burned out on the exercise. Well, it has come to my attention that I need to come back to it.
