By Fr. Mike Schmitz Ascension Presents - If you’re wondering about the difference between jealousy and envy, Fr. Mike clears up the confusion in this video.

Many priests and pastors won’t touch it, nor will Republican politicians, because they are all terrified of being labeled as bigots.

By John Zmirak, The Stream - Pro-Life Wisconsin and other pro-life supporters are criticizing the Green Bay Packers Foundation for a grant it made to Planned Parenthood Wisconsin Inc. in Milwaukee, one of 192 grants made as part of its annual program… The issue blew up after word of the grant, made earlier in December, began circulating among pro-life supporters. Dan Miller, executive director of Pro-Life Wisconsin, said his organization is opposed to money going to Planned Parenthood “ever, at any time.”… “(The Packers) have stood for wonderful things, but this is not something that’s wonderful. Planned Parenthood is an abortion provider,” Miller said Wednesday. “We’re outraged. We’d like an explanation.”
