The Supreme Court (SCOTUS) will soon end Roe v. Wade, the famous 1973 case that made abortion legal throughout the United States.

It’s not expected that they will face any punishment. In the U.S., many bishops want to deny communion to President Joe Biden over his support for abortion. (more…)

It is well known that death is as much a part of life as taxes, and yet there are very few creative works that deal with the mechanics of death. Who digs the grave? Who cuts and engraves the headstone? What happens behind the scenes at a funeral parlor? What is it like to grow up in a house where the remains of the recently departed are embalmed in the basement?

On May 21, 2013, Dominique Venner put an end to his days by putting a gun in his mouth at Notre Dame de Paris. “Suicide by an opponent of marriage equality,” “suicide of an ex-OAS member”[1] . . . that’s how his death was announced. (more…)

Prekvapilo ma zistenie, že väčšina umiernených oponentov homosexuálnych manželstiev nemá problém s myšlienkou registrovaného partnerstva, ktoré poskytuje homosexuálom mnohé zo zákonných benefitov manželstva. Ich uvažovanie je nasledovné: ak dvaja homosexuáli chcú spoločne zdieľať svoj život a šťastie a starať sa jeden o druhého v chorobe i starobe, (more…)
