Please take
notice! Our
country officially stands out as one of only seven countries in the world that
permits the killing of a viable, pain-sensitive child in the womb after 20
weeks. We stand with China, North Korea, Canada, the Netherlands, Singapore,
and Vietnam. In France, Italy, and Germany, abortion is illegal after 12 weeks
of pregnancy.

Light Shone at End of Nassar Tragedy
At the end
of the tragic story of depravity of Larry Nassar, the MSU gymnast doctor who
sexually abused girls and women for over twenty years, Rachael Denhollander shone
a great light. She spoke of justice, not revenge, and of repentance, forgiveness,
and God’s mercy.

Former Catholic Tries to Evangelize Me on Twitter.
I
made a new friend on Twitter today. He noticed I was Catholic and challenged me. I’m not one for debates
via social media. It can get long and tiring but sometimes, things just need to
be said.
I don’t know how to convert people—I’ve tried—but I’m wise enough to know that it’s God who changes hearts and minds, not me. I just need to speak up when called upon. “…always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,” (1 Peter 3:15).

How the Devil Uses Religion
Only a sliver of a fraction of people are
attracted to evil for evil’s sake. The rest are fooled. Cunning is the devil’s game.
It is in the murky margins outside of
religion where religious folks, or those who are “just spiritual,” imagine they
are following a greater god. Every rebellion against the one, holy, Catholic
and apostolic Church is done under cover of improvement. It doesn't work that way. I’m not
saying non-Catholic religions are evil; I’m saying evil is alway afoot when rejecting truth.

Torn Between Two Loves
I first met Kim Heilman as the newly married, Mrs. Heilman, Old Testament religion teacher at St. Mary’s High School in Bismarck. She had a BA in Art History and English literature and an MA in Catholic studies and had lived through cultural relativism, coming out on the other end embracing her Catholic faith. It was a journey, however, in which she had to break off an engagement and cling to Catholic teachings no matter the cost.
I am condensing Kim's story here, which first appeared in Amazing Grace for Families book. She writes at: Musings from the Home.

A Word from Humility Experts
It seems
that the dumbest mistakes occur on the heels of pride. Humility and obedience
to God’s Church, with over 2,000 years of getting it right, are the way to go. We
avoid a lot of buffoonery this way. There are times that people think we are fools
because of our values, but we know the company we keep. Better to be a fool for
Christ than for the world.
