For the Faith of St. Paul Miki, and Companions (For All the Saints)

Last updated on: May 1, 2015 at 1:59 pm By Frank Weathers

Today is the feast day of St. Paul Miki and his companions. They were martyred in Nagasaki on February 5th in the year 1597.

What if the HHS Mandate Was For Unfettered Access to Pornography?

Last updated on: July 18, 2015 at 10:58 am By Frank Weathers

Frank, stop. No way is the HHS Mandate’s proposal anything remotely comparable to the government providing no cost access to pornography. Because the Administration, through the Department of Health and Human Services, would never foist something as degrading to human dignity (as pornography is) on the citizenry as a “good.” Not in our Republic. Why not, dear reader? (more…) Read more

Last updated on: July 18, 2015 at 11:10 am By Frank Weathers

Evening folks. Sorry I haven’t posted anything until now, but I’ve been reading the 80 pages of proposed rules regarding the HHS Mandate. I didn’t really want to, because it’s not exactly Joe Six-Packs’ idea of a “good time.” But seeings how I’ve seen all kinds of reactions to the new proposals, some positive, and some negative, I figured I’d do what the USCCB recommended and read the whole thing.
