Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:52 pm By Frank Weathers

I’ve posted about Bishop Richard Stika a few times in the past. But to be honest, I don’t really know him.

A couple of days ago, my blog neighbor Deacon Greg Kandra shared a news item about a Catholic hospital in Colorado that is a defendant in a wrongful death lawsuit. The story is noteworthy because the Catholic hospitals’ legal defense team argued that while the patient (who died seven years ago), Lori Stodghill, was indisputably a person, they noted that under Colorado law, her unborn twins, 28 weeks of gestation at the time of death, are not considered persons.

Last updated on: June 7, 2015 at 10:20 pm By Frank Weathers

It being the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, and Inaguration Day too, I’m taking the liberty to republish a post you may have missed the first time ’round (April 09,2012).
