The Republic at 250: A Crisis of Civic Memory, by Michael Smith

By Michael Smith, Patriot Post - The challenge, then, is not merely to resist imported extremism or domestic radicalism, but to restore the nation’s confidence in the principles that once unified a diverse people. A republic endures only when its citizens — native and immigrant alike — agree that its foundational rules are worth upholding. Liberty, in the American sense, is not self-sustaining.

Fr. Nnamdi Moneme, OMV: Why Do You Believe Jesus Is King?

New Study Finds Women Face Tremendous Emotional Distress After Abortions, by Michael New Ph.D. 

By Michael New Ph., LifeNews - This fall, the International Journal of Women’s Health Care published a study by Paul Sullins of the Ruth Institute and the Catholic University of America. It provides strong statistical evidence that many women who obtain abortions experience emotional distress — even many years after the abortion took place. Unlike previous research, this new study only analyzed women between the ages of 41 and 45. Therefore, among women who have had abortions, the average time between the abortion and the survey was approximately 20 years.
