Call this part XVI in the series of answers to the question, “how will same-sex marriage affect your family or your heterosexual marriage?”.

The editors at National Review have published “The Case for Marriage,” and it’s a good treatment of some of the consequences of redefining marriage.  It’s worth your time to read, but a few excerpts may whet your (Read More)

A couple days ago I wrote about a grassroots effort in Iowa to defeat three of their state supreme court justices who are up for a “retention” election this fall.

This headline is hard to miss.  “Why is the Government Trying to Force Me to Divorce My Wife?” But even more noticeable is the $80-100,000 dollars Scott Sumner and his wife will miss over their lifetime simply because they’re married.

Denver’s Archbishop Charles Chaput spoke to Catholics in Slovakia on Tuesday in a speech entitled “Living within the Truth.” Although directed to Catholics, it could easily have been directed to all of Christendom in its call to stand tall and resist the cultural slide (in Europe as well as America) into “post-Christianity,” characterized by intolerance toward Christians and their faith and, inevitably, government repression of the church.
