Thinking out loud...
"President Obama Promotes Fatherhood" While I am at odds with certain policy positions of the President, especially those relating to the life issues, I was really pleased to see the talk that he gave on fatherhood last weekend. We need more of this type of discourse. Read more.
"Is there anyone out there besides me?" The NYT recently ran a piece about a grad student's decision to have an abortion. I was so stunned by the article that I'm only now able to articulate some semblance of a response. Read more.

| Humanae Vitae - Still Truckin' 40 Years Later |
|
Humanae Vitae, the encyclical of the Catholic Church known more for it's opposition to contraception than for it's overall message, has just turned 40. Despite the naysayers, the Church still teaches the contraception is contrary to the reality of true love. No matter how "unpopular" the teaching, more and more people have come to embrace it. I've even met someone who converted to Catholicism after hearing Prof. Janet Smith's talk, "Contraception, why not." In honor of the 40th anniversary, I'll be posting various pieces here. Check back to see what's new: Here's a piece I wrote for Mosaic, "When Sex Becomes Schizophrenic." For an overview of the history of the document's reception, check out this piece in the NYT by John Allen, expert Vatican journalist and author. |
