Unfortunately, I don't think Trump is capable of experiencing shame. He will only react with anger toward those who criticize him for anything.

This veteran didn't vote for him. As a Vietnam veteran, I have nothing but contempt for people like Trump who supported the war, yet ran like rabbits rather than serve.

The church's stance on birth control does not elevate the status of life . . . it trivializes it.

Trump also got pelted by veterans when he mocked their sacrifices. But when push came to shove in the election booth, the whiners voted for him anyway. I suspect the media create a misperception by...

Catholic doctrine is so sure about so many things, it's strange that they plead ignorance about what God is doing to the all those embryonic or fetal souls.

Blaine started out as a street performer with close-up magic. His YouTube videos show him dazzling people he meets on the streets. He performs his tricks at about the same distance that two people...

Well, welcome to Catholic philosophy. They'll claim they ride along on Aristotle "plus" until they need some piece from revelation, and then they stick that into the mix and make...
