By Fr. Thomas G. Weinandy, OFM, Cap., The Catholic Thing - What troubles me almost as much as this gay-pride militancy is the Church’s ambiguous response. Pope Francis has bemoaned the “air” of homosexual culture within the Vatican and seminaries... Over the years, however, I have learned, as have many others, that one should not give much credence to what Pope Francis says. It is what he does that reveals his true intentions. What he has done in relationship to homosexuality bears clear testimony to this hermeneutical principle.

By John Murdock, First Things - Should I have been surprised that ReproductiveRights.gov exists? Joe Biden has shifted from touting his long record of supporting the Hyde Amendment and opposing late-term abortions to making unfettered abortion rights the centerpiece of his presidential campaign. But the “dot gov” should still matter, and it does to me as a federal employee... ReproductiveRights.gov offers resources for avoiding reproduction or snuffing out life in its early stages.

By Nathanael Blake, Catholic World Report - The thesis of Joy Pullman’s new book is that “Western society is being erased by the purposeful destabilization of the institution that creates society: the natural family…”... Remember when gay activists told us that they just wanted tolerance—and that their agenda wouldn’t affect the rest of us?... They lied... What was sold as tolerance for a small minority of Americans who just wanted to quietly live their lives has become a new, mandatory civil religion.

By Nancy Flory, The Stream - The United States should not have a foster care crisis. With approximately 350,000 churches nationwide and more than 100,000 kids in the foster system waiting for placement, this is an area where people of faith could make a big difference... And some of them have... A new family-friendly film, Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot is based on the true story of a church whose parishioners adopted 77 of the most difficult kids their community’s foster care system had to offer.
