“Thou Shalt Not Kill,” is a mandate of conscience, not just a tenet of religion.
That means the answer to the question whether someone can be Pro-Life without God is Yes.
And No.
I’d like to put off explaining that for just a moment, More…
Even Italian graffiti must respect Pope Francis

Reblogged from The New Theological Movement
The Common Doctor, St. Thomas is often referred to as “Aquinas” after his hometown of Aquino. His most beloved title, however, is the “Angelic Doctor” – and it is this designation which inspires the greatest devotion to the saintly Dominican theologian.
Why is St. Thomas Aquinas properly called the “Angelic Doctor”, the “Angelic Thomas”, and the “Angel of the Schools”? More…
It may be a matter of sheer coincidence, but today’s Gospel reading and the readings for yesterday’s feast, the Conversion of St. Paul, have a lot in common. They are both pretty strange vocation stories.
Very few people have the sort of “knock you off your high-horse” conversions that Paul had (Saul, rather). God does not often reveal himself to people with a blast of blinding light and a voice from heaven telling them exactly what to do. More…

On the heals of a U.S. Appeals Court decision overturning a law violating Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers’ right to free speech in New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo comes out firing against Pro-Lifers in his own state.
“Who are they? Are they these extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay? Is that who they are? Because if that’s who they are and they’re the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York, because that’s not who New Yorkers are.” More…
There are many, many ways to be Pro-Life
Top story in all your major media outlets today: the Head of the Roman Catholic Church — the Pope — opposes abortion. Why should this be sensational news?
Here’s why I think it is. More…
It does seem a little odd, doesn’t it?
John’s mission was to announce Christ’s coming, to preach repentance for sins and conversion, to baptize people as a way of cleansing them of their sins and when Jesus appears on the scene, He shows up in line to be baptized.
But Jesus wasn’t a sinner – he never sinned! He didn’t need to repent, so why should he be baptized? More…
