Official statistics for the number of abortions that had taken place in Ireland during 2019, which amounted to 6,666, were released by the Irish government on 30th June 2020. The brief report was met with criticism by the Irish Catholic Bishops, and pro-life groups, but few others including the main stream media responded in a similar manner. However, one Catholic priest in County Monaghan, made what the Life Institute called a ‘powerful sermon’ on the issue.
“C.S. Lewis and Evolution” is the second of three short documentaries inspired by the book The Magician’s Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society. It examines the evolution of Lewis’s views on orthodox Darwinian theory from his time as a college undergraduate to his death in 1963.
Joseph, the adoptive father of Jesus Christ, is perhaps one of the most overlooked characters in the life of the Saviour and the story of the Nativity. Yet, there is no question that Joseph left a powerful impact on Jesus, Mary, and their other children. He was a man of solid conviction. His love for Mary, the mother of Jesus, is unmatched.

In this short video, Fr. Mark Goring quotes from Proverbs Chapter 3:5 – ‘Trust in the Lord, with all your heart, and do not rely on your own intelligence”. We are not to cling to our own desires, insights or ways of doing or wanting things done. The Lord will do things in his own mysterious way. So, ‘chill, God is in charge’.
Friends, the entire effort to erase the memory of St. Junípero Serra is from a historical standpoint ridiculous and from a moral standpoint more than a little frightening. When we see mobs of people tearing down and desecrating statues of a great Catholic saint, how can we not see the ugly spectre of anti-Catholicism raising its head?
Dave Cullen on the difference between Christianity, Communism, and secularism’s attitude towards power and accountability. He suggests that there is a new more subtle form of global technocratic control, which closely resembles a secular version of Sharia law.
How to discern God’s will is one of Fr. Mark-Mary’s favorite topics. He has some principles he uses to guide his discernment. He narrows these principles down to four: needs, responsibilities, desires, and capacities.

Friends, the political nests within the moral, which nests within the sacred. We know that there are social wrongs which need to be made right, but our civic engagement must have a spiritual and moral center, grounded in the ideas of Martin Luther King Jr. and Thomas Aquinas.
