Political operatives are now attempting to flip the script on what it means to be a follower of Christ and are moving to disqualify morality right along with it.“Biden’s Catholic faith grounds his life and policies.” This is the text in the photo caption of a New York Times article by Elizabeth Dias. Entitled “In Biden’s Catholic Faith, an Ascendant Liberal Christianity”, the Dias applauds Biden for being “the most religiously observant president in over half a century.” The article showers Biden with praises and likens him to Jesus Christ himself for leading the charge in promoting an “ascendant liberal...

Don’t you hate it when your honest clarification question is mistaken for the start of a fallacious argument? Almost every time in the last year I’ve talked with pro-choice students at a pro-life outreach, I’ve had an exchange that goes something like this: Pro-Choice Student: The fetus isn’t even a person.

The woman representing Pennsylvania in the Miss USA 2014 pageant has opened up about how she was conceived when her mother was raped at knifepoint. Valerie Gatto, 24, revealed to Today.com that a man dressed in black attacked her mother when she was just 19, forcing himself upon her behind a building until a passing car spooked him, and she managed to run away.

Since 1966, Professor Raymond Dennehy has bravely accepted the challenge of debating abortion advocates at the University of California at Berkeley.  His long apprenticeship in the ring, so to speak, has led to the publication of his book, Anti-Abortionist at Large: How to Argue Intelligently About Abortion and Live to Tell About It (Trafford, 2006). The touch of humor in Dennehy’s title is carried forward in the heading of his first chapter: “No One’s Ever Accused Me of Being Brilliant.” The heading is more self-deprecating than deserved. Nonetheless, it suggests a crucial point that its author is much too modest...
