By Randy Hain, Integrated Catholic Life - Is it possible that marriage and the family are losing their value in the eyes of the next generation because our young people don’t see positive examples of successful marriages and Christ-centered families? If we truly offered this alternative and fought to live it, defend it, and promote it, there could be a resurgence of successful marriages, more children being born, and parishes packed with faithful Catholic families. What will it take? Men must lead.

By John M. Grondelski, The Catholic Thing - “What will this child be?”... He would be the last and greatest prophet, the herald of his cousin Jesus, the Messiah. But he would also be the man who calls for moral reform of Israel, who demands conversion: both John’s and Jesus’s first words at the start of their public ministries are identical: “Repent.”... And John is not just the “social justice” guy, demanding that tax collectors not fleece payers nor soldiers bully civilians. He is also the “culture warrior” guy who makes an issue out of the tetrarch’s invalid marriage.
