“The president is coercing us into immorality.”
By Tom Quiner [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzdxB5l9NLA&feature=player_embedded] Catholics are shaken to their core by Barack Obama and his party.

Non-Catholics may not be fully aware of the Catholic viewpoint that the president and…
Read MoreObama: Human life is a disease
By Tom Quiner What is the president saying with his Mandate? Here is what he is saying: human life is a disease. It must be contained. It is not the fruit of loving relationships.

By Tom Quiner I have compassion for agnostics. I can understand how a man can say he can’t be sure that God really exists. I don’t have compassion for atheists. Their certitude that God does not exist is grounded in pride. In light of evidence of God’s existence, it takes a much bigger leap of…
