Babies for Sale

Last updated on: July 17, 2015 at 9:38 am By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

My latest article for CRUX exposes the root problem beneath the Planned Parenthood fetal tissues scandal. It’s the fact that we not only sell aborted babies’ hearts, lungs and livers, but we do so because human beings are now treated as commercial commodities to be used, abused and thrown away. Our culture would not be in this situation without a philosophy that endorsed it. The simple truth behind the “re-imbursement” for the livers, hearts, and lungs of dismembered unborn children...

Cecile Richards: The Vampire Strikes Back

Last updated on: July 16, 2015 at 7:32 pm By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

So here’s where we are: a rather pleasant looking, well educated, professional woman in a smart restaurant nibbles her salad and sips her wine while she discusses how best to pull a baby from it’s mother’s womb, then she explains how she plans where she will place the forceps so that she “crushes” the part of the baby’s body that is not marketable. If a head or brains are wanted by the customer they baby will be inverted to be... Read more

Big Media in Bed With Planned Parenthood

Last updated on: July 16, 2015 at 9:16 am By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

Do you remember how the story about the abortionist and serial killer Kermit Gosnell was ignored by the mainstream media? What’s their response to the latest American abortion horror story? Mollie Hemingway at The Federalist gives a review of the papers here. At 8:00 AM on Tuesday morning, a pro-life group released two videos showing Planned Parenthood executive Deborah Nucatola munching on a salad and sipping red wine while discussing the harvesting of organs from the babies killed by abortion. One was... Read more

How the “Our Father” Can Change Your Life

Last updated on: July 15, 2015 at 7:43 pm By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

What is one of the biggest problems in your life and in mine? We don’t treat other people as we should. We treat them as objects of our lust, workers to fulfill our wishes, servants to obey our commands. Our relationship problems, our marriage problems, our family problems, our work problems, our neighborhood problems, our parish problem are all because we don’t treat others with the respect, honor, love and courtesy they deserve. Why is this? Because we do not... Read more

Babies for Sale = Slavery

Last updated on: July 15, 2015 at 8:32 am By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

The not-so-shocking revelation that tax-funded Planned Parenthood engineers their abortions to preserve tiny baby livers, hearts, lungs and legs so they can sell the organs and limbs must make us think about the larger issues in American life. In case you didn’t see the news yesterday, Planned Parenthood executive Deborah Nucatola has been filmed discussing her abortion technique for harvesting organs from late term babies: “I’d say a lot of people want liver,” she says in the video posted on...

Baby Body Parts for Sale at Planned Parenthood

Last updated on: July 14, 2015 at 1:18 pm By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

Matt Walsh says here what I wanted to say about the most recent horror story to come from Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood has been caught on tape selling the body parts of aborted children. In a lengthy investigation, Planned Parenthood Federation Senior Director of Medical Services Dr. Deborah Nucatola, is recorded discussing the sale of dead babies. She calmly nibbles on a nice green salad and sips a bit of wine as she tells the buyers (actors, posing as medical researchers) all... Read more

Hell? What’s That?

Last updated on: July 14, 2015 at 10:27 am By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

My article this week for Imaginative Conservative is an abridged and edited version of a chapter from my book The Quest for the Creed Someone once asked the famous mystic Padre Pio, what he thought of modern people who didn’t believe in hell. His blunt reply was, “They will believe in hell when they get there.” Must we believe in hell? Surely, when faced with Auschwitz, Hiroshima, the Boko Haram, and the barbarians of ISIS, the question should be, “Is it... Read more

The Rise of the Post Christian Crybaby Bully

Last updated on: July 14, 2015 at 10:02 am By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

With the rise of Christianity a new perspective entered human history: the triumph of the victim. Previously if you were a slave, if you were poor, if you were disabled, if you were strange, if you were an alien in the land, if you were an outcast you were considered to have got what you deserved. Pagan philosophies (and Judaism too) had their own concept of karma–that people got what fate had determined. If you were disadvantaged in some way... Read more

“Spiritual but not Religious” How Do You do That?

Last updated on: July 13, 2015 at 12:16 pm By Fr. Dwight Longenecker

“I’m spiritual but not religious” is one of the catch phrases you’ll hear a good bit these days. My question about this is, “How do you do that?” Just exactly what do you do to be spiritual without being religious? Do you kind of sit quietly from time to time and think beautiful thoughts? Maybe you go for a hike and think, “Gee this is really a nice day!” Do you smile at folks and think to yourself, “I can see the... Read more
