Was Jesus really conceived out of wedlock?
No, Jesus was not conceived out of wedlock, despite popular perception to the contrary.
Jesus was virginally conceived, but AFTER the betrothal of Mary and Joseph.
The late Fr. John Hardon tells us that we need to have an understanding of how betrothal worked in the time of Christ. Father Hardon was a Jesuit priest (like Pope Francis) and American theologian. He explains …
Global warming continues to cause cold weather!
It is a cold Saturday morning in Iowa.
What better way to warm up than with a few good laughs. And what better way to enjoy some good laughs than with a news report from NewsBusted’s legendary reporter, Jodi Miller.
Ms. Miller reports on the foibles of our favorite liberal friends and enemies. Today’s stories are truly startling …
Civil War II
We are embroiled in a Civil War. I hope you understand that.
One side will win; the other will lose.
The final battle is taking place, and it will determine whether we remain America … or not.
Which version of the Koran is legitimate?
“Help!”
This was the honest plea of a Quiner’s Diner reader yesterday in response to my post, “With love like that, who needs hate?”
The reader voiced the confusion and frustration so many non-Muslims have when trying to understand Islam …
The little ones are winning
Our littlest people are beating back the forces of liberalism that continue to kill them.
Some 55 million of our preborn have been killed since the Roe v Wade subverted the American principle that each of us has a fundamental right to our life.
Despite liberalism’s unwavering advocacy for unfettered human abortion, our little ones are turning the tide …
Why I believe in Santa Claus
One year, my sister and I concocted a scheme to catch Santa when he brought gifts to our house. We tied a string to his glass of milk (next to the plate of cookies we left for him) and strung it all they way to the upstairs where we slept and put a bell on the end. When Santa took a gulp of milk, the bell would ring and we would run down the stairs and confront our friend.
"With love like that, who needs hate?"
The Muslim scholar had an apartment in Philadelphia.
The apartment allowed him to have a dog.
He got a new job in another city, and, unfortunately, it did not allow pets.
So what was he going to do with this dog that he acknowledged he loved? Why kill it, of course …
Pope Francis' authentic Christianity
Most of us are flawed, well-intentioned hypocrites.
Here’s what I mean. We try to live our lives according to our faith, but the seduction of sin sets us back.
We try to do good, and hopefully we do, and then we go and act like lunkheads …
Prayers continue to be answered this Advent
The secular world is oblivious to the lavish quantity of prayers devoted to Life.
In the Catholic Church alone, thousands of the faithful say Rosaries every day, every week, every month, year-after-year on behalf of this single cause alone.
So many of our Protestant brothers and sisters join us in praying on behalf of the dignity of human life …
You are invited to "3 Divas and a Guy"
I believe in Life and fun!
I have combined these two passions into an event that takes place this Saturday night here in Des Moines called “3 Divas & a Guy.”
This Broadway Revue/Dinner Theater takes place at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, 2926 Beaver Avenue, Des Moines, Iowa beginning with dinner at 6PM, followed by a dazzling show beginning at 7:15 …
