NY Daily News: Can’t we put aside politics to help people?

Last updated on: March 2, 2017 at 10:36 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

(Photosource) Would have missed this editorial in the New York Daily News, if not for the invaluable New Advent: Modern-day slaves, hostage to abortion: Set aside politics to help Catholic groups that fight human trafficking Some problems are more important than politics. Human trafficking should be one of them. As Secretary of State Clinton has said, “If this issue doesn’t demand zealous advocacy, it’s hard to figure out what does.” In fact, just this week, a new State Department report... Read more

Leah Libresco, Media’s Favorite Puzzle

Last updated on: March 2, 2017 at 10:36 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

When Leah Libresco informed me that she was entering an RCIA program and wanted to know how to move her blog over here to the Catholic portal, she said she thought there might a some reaction to her conversion, but not enough to take up a whole day, so her main plan was to “sit on the porch and eat ice cream.” I’m thinking the vanilla swirl has melted and congealed in the bowl, by now. Being busy with travel... Read more

Chiara Corbella: Dying for love, “wonderful love that grew more and more…”

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 12:32 am By Elizabeth Scalia

Photo image at Source 28 year-old Chiara Corbella has died and at her funeral in Rome, there was joy amid the sorrow. In fact, there was a kind of triumph, of love over life and life over death — one of those contradictory signs that makes no sense to an efficient world but is transcendently reasonable to the mind of faith: Chiara was happily married to Enrico Petrillo. They had already suffered the loss of two children [born with birth... Read more

A Couple Catholics Sittin’ Around Talking

Last updated on: March 2, 2017 at 10:36 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

So, today the Catholic Media Convention here in Indianapolis comes to a close. Everyone is busily preparing for tonight’s mass and then the banquet dinner. I will be at the mass, but not the banquet, which had I been thinking rightly, I would have signed on for, as it is a big night for Greg Erlandson, John Norton and the whole gang at Our Sunday Visitor, and it will probably be a big night for Deacon Greg and the folks...

Here’s Calah: Barefoot, Pregnant and With a Lot to Say!

Last updated on: March 2, 2017 at 10:36 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

Some of you are already fans of Calah Alexander, who has been blogging a while at Barefoot and Pregnant. Some of you may only have discovered her thanks to Calah’s recent feature here at Patheos — a remarkably heartening exposition on how a pastor attuned to mercy can give such a great assist to grace. And some of you may only have picked up on Calah since the big news of Leah’s move Rome-ward, of which Calah — in sympathetic... Read more

Yay Verily! A Fresh Magazine with a Fresh Message

Do you ever look at the magazines on the rack at the grocery store and wonder just who the women are who related to them? The book with the stick-thin celebrity, air-brushed almost beyond human recognition, surrounded by headlines about how to be better at sex, how to please men sexually, how to use sex at work, how to look better than you do, because no matter how great you might look, this magazine knows you can do better; the...

A Spanking Good Analogy on Casual Sex/Contraception

Last updated on: March 2, 2017 at 10:36 pm By Elizabeth Scalia

Photo courtesy of Olga Besnard / Shutterstock.com “Why did Mike Ditka and Joe Paterno recommend the removal of facemasks from football players’ helmets?” asks BC professor, Tim Muldoon, “It’s because when I perceive I’m protected, I amp up my risk level. Same with contraception.” That bang you just heard was reality, closing in on you. Muldoon’s analogy is what my Auntie Lillie would have called “a spanking good telling” that delivers an inarguable truth to our got-contraception-now-go-have-sex culture; it’s the... Read more
