By Fr. Alexander Lucie-Smith, Catholic Herald - First of all, the most dangerous places to be a priest also happen to be countries that are by and large very religious.

This violence has many causes, but cannot be blamed on secularisation.

By Fr. Shenan Boquet, President of Human Life International - Fr Shenan Boquet, President of Human Life International, encouraged delegates at the 3rd International Rome Life Forum to have the courage to “put out into the deep” (Lk 5:4) in order to combat the “breakdown in the Church herself in living her mission”... Stressing the importance of being courageous and uncompromising in the proclamation of Catholic teaching on marriage and the family he said “if you are going to retake the culture, to undo the revolution… to change minds and hearts, it starts in that absolute, it must start in that absolute reality that life is a gift and that it must be protected at all costs.”
