They Lied to You About Rerum Novarum, by Veronica Burchard

By Veronica Burchard, Crisis Magazine - What Does Rerum Novarum Really Say?... As I read it, disbelief gave way to outrage. How misled I had been! This was no evenhanded critique of socialism on the one hand and capitalism on the other!

Young Conservatives Cannot Afford to Be Neutral on Family, by Andrew Gondy

By Andrew Gondy, The American Spectator - Creating stable marriages and families is the most important way to reclaim our culture. Without these, conservatism is dead...

In late July, the CDC reported that U.S. birth rates have fallen to just 1.6 children per woman. This is the lowest recorded fertility rate in American history, and plunges our country well below replacement birth levels.
