On the Cannabis Question (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Massachusetts Question 8—regarding shutting down the legal recreational market for marijuana—is a matter of not just protecting the innocent and guilty alike but protecting the human soul. Like many so-called secular questions, the cannabis question is actually religious in nature. Yet many tend to think of proper policy in a way that excludes Providence. Truth is known in terms that exclude its Creator. In Question 8 on the Massachusetts ballot November 3, the state is at least given a chance.
Maura Healey: The Case for Excommunication (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An extremist sits upon the throne of Massachusetts. In her capacity as queen, she has ordered a hit. The victim: a civilization. On August 10, Maura Healey signed into law H.5595, removing the previous 24-week gestational limit, which included four exceptions, and replacing them with a singularly monstrous standard that an abortion may be performed at any time “based upon the professional judgment of the physician.” Unfortunately, this effectively legalizes the procedure up until the point of bi
The Death and Life of Capital Punishment (opens the original)

Abortion and the Rights of Unborn Girls (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Few sins are as terrifying as the murder of a child. On this all must agree. Yet the younger the child is, the more fraught the discussion tends to become. In the age of sex positivity, it has become necessary to justify its consequences in terms that absolve. The precious soul of the unborn is often treated as a diabolical inversion of its true nature—a mere collection of cells, a lifeless body, a mere beating heart, a meaningless locus of consciousness. Much of ancient child sacrifice served a
The New Inquisition (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The question of whether there is a crisis in the Catholic Church hinges on a slew of facts and their interpretations. The argument that the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, the oldest department in the Roman Curia—tasked with identifying and stomping out heresy since 1542—has itself been compromised is among the most persuasive. Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández, the current prefect for the Dicastery, initially appointed by Pope Francis, is case in point. Fernández, author of multiple ero
