Great movie to see this Holy Week: "Mary of Nazareth"
Beautiful, simply beautiful.
I loved “Mary of Nazareth” because it told the story of Jesus through the eyes of His Mother, Mary, whom we Catholics referred to as the “Blessed Mother.”
Why Hollywood won't forgive "The Passion of the Christ"
Hollywood has forgiven many flawed men.
Roman Polanksi, who had sex with a minor, comes immediately to mind.
Woody Allen, who is credibly accused of molesting his child, saw his film win an Academy Award this year.
Robert Downey Jr. was a drug addict who came clean.
Mel Gibson is a different story …
Are transgendered showers coming to your school?
The culture war has morphed into a battle of religions, politics, and law.
You can keep abreast of the latest legal battles on a great radio show called, “Faith on Trial.” The host, Mike Manno, is an attorney and Catholic Deacon. He brings in great guests who are fighting in the court rooms on behalf of religious freedom and sexual sanity …
The era of economic martyrdom
Liberalism is characterized by intolerance.
We’ve seen the tactics of the Left used far too often over recent decades. For example, if you disagree with the principle of reverse discrimination, euphemistically known as affirmative action, you are a bigot.
If you oppose human abortion, euphemistically known as women’s reproductive health, you are waging a war on women.
Now if you support traditional marriage, you may have to give up your livelihood …
Are 'faith' and 'reason' friends or foes?

Noah: "A bowel movement on celluloid"
The verdict is in: I won’t be seeing “Noah.”
I’ve done my homework. The majority of reviewers I respect have made a compelling case that “Noah” suffers from a fatal case of bad theology and lousy cinema.
Political commentator, Steve Deace, characterized it as a “bowel movement on celluloid” …
Is Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby really about women's rights?
The Left has tried to twist Sebelius v Hobby Lobby into another “war on women” issue.
Are they correct?
Is Hobby Lobby and their right-wing, religious ilk really trying to take away women’s rights since they do not want the government to compel them to purchase contraception. abortifacients, and sterilization in their employee health plans?
