A pattern of subversive activity towards the Roman Catholic Church by President Obama’s administration has been noticed by Catholic commentators during the past several months. On May 17th, President Obama spoke at the commencement ceremony for Notre Dame University, despite protests and condemnation by several U.S. Bishops. The opposition to Obama’s speaking at a Catholic university was due to his promises to remove restrictions on abortion, a practice considered morally wrong by the Roman Catholic Church. While it may be difficult for non-Catholics to understand the severity of refusing to accept Catholic teachings on abortion and contraception while claiming to...

The internet can be a wilderness, with thousands of articles written daily. Social bookmarking sites have arisen to help Internet users, but the popular ones, such as Digg, leave faith-based sites and postings out in the cold - or worse, the subject of ridicule. PickAFig.com is a new site that offers a similar function, but with a focus on Catholic, Pro-Life, and Christian sites, news and resources. Users can submit links to news articles, blog postings, and websites, and vote on stories that others have submitted. The most popular and useful stories can then be easily recognized. Webmasters and bloggers...

There is an alarming number of Catholic and pro-life leaders and influencers who are propagating a dangerous, even evil idea. This idea is that in 2008, we do not have a suitable candidate for truly pro-life voters to choose in November. Not voting, or voting write-in candidates, is the popular suggestion. When I was in attendance at the Men and Abortion conference in Chicago a few weeks ago, Jason Jones addressed the audience, and said “When you live in a constitutional democracy, your civic duty becomes your religious duty. We are the sovereigns.” In other words, these influential pro-life and...

St. Paul, MN (LifeNews.com) -- P.Z. Myers, professor of Biology at the University of Minnesota Morris, turned his sights this week to pro-life pharmacist Mike Koelzer of Kay Pharmaceuticals in Grand Rapids, Michigan, who had stopped selling contraceptives in 2002 due to their abortifacient nature. Myers instructed his readers to take action against the pro-life pharmacist, by emailing him, boycotting the pharmacy, and picketing and protesting his speaking engagements. "I think Mike Koelzer is a contemptible, sanctimonious ass, and I hope he goes out of business," said Myers on his blog on Monday. "If Mike Koelzer comes to your town...

The Church of Man, a self-proclaimed agnostic religious institution, has issued a position backing Catholic and Christian parents opposing local Boards of Education over sex-ed programs in their schools. "The Church of Man ... is concerned when it comes to the rights of individuals to practice their religious freedom - including the right to hold moral opinions for which they are not answerable to any government representative or body," stated a post on the Church of Man's website, www.churchofman.org.The Church of Man cited Thomas Jefferson's famous exchange with the Danbury Baptist Association in which the phrase "wall of separation between...

MEDIA ADVISORY, June 21 /Christian Newswire/ -- As Japanese culture becomes more prominent in American entertainment, mysterious and awe-inspiring tales of the samurai have become more familiar to the Western world. A new book, The Way of the Christian Samurai: Reflections for Servant-Warriors of Christ (ISBN 0-9772234-6-9) explores how the advice and stories of real samurai can help modern-day Christians.

Mt. Laurel, NJ (LifeNews.com) -- When former LifeNews.com staff writer Paul Nowak realized the work done by his employer, a pharmaceutical company, conflicted with his Catholic and pro-life beliefs, he turned in his resignation – even before locating another job. “To me, there wasn't really a choice,” said Nowak, who had worked as a technical writer for the company. “I could not live with the idea that my efforts were aiding the abortion industry, not matter how distant or insignificant my contribution would have been.” Though he could not comment on the nature of the issue, or his former employer,...

In the Washington Times this week there came a report of a climber who was left to die on the slopes of Everest. Mark Inglis, an amputee on atrificial legs, defended his group's decision to leave David Sharp, a man they found dying on the side of the mountain. "At 28,000 feet it's hard to stay alive yourself. He was in a very poor condition, near death. We talked about [what to do for him] for quite a lot at the time and it was a very hard decision," said Inglis. The group moved on, after some of the group's...

A free online video demonstration of a partial-birth abortion is now available online, thanks to gynecologist Dr. William Lile and R.A.G.E. Media. The footage, taken from Dr. Lile’s DVD presentation “The Miracle of Life,” shows Dr. Lile using the actual abortionists’ tools to demonstrate how the procedure is performed, using only a sheet, a chair, and a baby doll – no blood or disturbing images. However, it is apparent that the procedure is not a lifesaving measure, as the entire child must be delivered via an intrusive process that can take days. “This is a whole new generation from what...

It has been 33 years since Roe v. Wade, and abortion on demand is as legal as it was three decades ago, with over a million victims each year. While some progress has been made in curbing the number of abortions, and individual states have had varying success in passing legislation, perhaps it is time to ask, Why haven't we done more? It's easy point to the opposition: a non-profit running on taxpayer dollars promoting the very abortions that help fuel their propaganda machine; a major political party with a platform dedicated to keeping abortion legal. However, there is a...

The success of the Guerrilla Apologetics pocket guides on Catholic and pro-life apologetics has led to the release of two new books: “Guerrilla Apologetics for Catholics” (ISBN: 097722340X) and “Guerrilla Apologetics for Life Issues” (ISBN: 0977223418).

The Guerrilla Apologetics books go beyond traditional apologetics books, teaching readers how to make convincing yet charitable arguments, instead of just giving answers to questions asked by challengers. “Guerrilla Apologetics for Catholics” features 10 questions to...

Abortion advocacy has become synonymous with the modern feminist movement. Groups such as the National Organization for Women (NOW) have become so outspoken in their abortion rights campaign that the group is seen as “pro-abortion” as much or more than it is seen as “feminist.” In fact, one of the most recognized feminists groups today that is not pro-abortion has to specify that fact in its name: Feminists for Life. This was not always the case. Early pioneers for women's rights did not ignore the issue of abortion, even though it was illegal at the time and a taboo subject....

This is an excerpt from an email ebay is now sending out: "We understand that the listing of the Eucharist was highly upsetting to Catholic members of the eBay community and Catholics globally. Once this completed sale was brought to our attention, we consulted with a number of our users, including members of the Catholic Church, concerning what course we should take in the future should a similar listing appear on our site. We also consulted with members of other religions about items that might also be highly sacred and inappropriate for sale. As a result of this dialogue, we...
