Did Walter Reed Hospital Neglect Faith Needs of Catholic Patients?

It isn’t a secret that the U.S. military is growing increasingly woke. But as it embraces progressive social values, are the services becoming concomitantly less tolerant of faith — or perhaps better stated, uncomprehending of its importance to believing members? Read More ›

Freedom of Religion on the Chopping Block

Intolerant secularism is on the march. In a blatant campaign of cultural imperialism, secularists and their leftist allies aim to shrivel the “free exercise” of religion to mere “freedom of worship.” Read More ›

Maryland Catholic Hospital Liable for Refusing Transgender Hysterectomy

Two principles of Catholic health-care ethics forbid removing healthy organs and sterilizing a patient absent a necessity caused by a pathology, such as cancer. These principles are increasingly in conflict with the transgender movement that has the ACLU and others suing when Catholic hospitals refuse transgender surgeries based on these religiously based precepts.

Questioning Vaccine Mandates

If a free society is to remain worthy of the name, persuasion—not coercion—must be the watchword. Because if COVID becomes the excuse for government and Big Business to exert such extreme control, even greater intrusions on civil liberties will surely follow.
