When Nellie Gray founded the March for Life in 1974, she thought one big demonstration against the unjust and tragic Roe v. Wade decision the previous year would be enough to halt legal abortion in the U.S. History has shown her optimism was unfounded, but the bad jurisprudence imposed on our nation by those seven justices was finally repealed in 2022.

Pope Francis met with Joe Biden. No doubt the Biden administration and the left wing of the world will try to make it seem like these two men are on the same page about just about everything, especially left-wing causes based on mythology. In reality, they have nothing in common when it comes to fighting for human dignity and equality. The reason is something Joe Biden would learn if he really did have respect for the Catholic faith and for the popes of the Catholic Church. As St. John Paul II made clear in his apostolic exhortation Christo Fidelis Laicic,...
