Yes, please. But the hesitancy to speak on abortion, assisted suicide, etc, has metastasized throughout much of the western Church, top to bottom. Fear rules. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a sermon on the biblical response to abortion. Christ have mercy.

I love this.

This is wonderful.

“My private religion will continue to have zero direct relevance to my work as an MP…” This is the problem. The God who gives life and takes it away is the source of all wisdom and truth for all people.

Wut? “Many people relate to the sense that Alban is a real, living presence with us, confirmed by the physicality of our two shrines and indeed the surviving relic of St. Alban.” religionnews.com/2025/07/02/a-c…

This is a good word.

Please, let this happen.

The sermon on matrimony in the Book of Homilies is an insightful, gentle and prescient exhortation for husbands and wives to live together in a peaceful way. It requires great sacrifice with great reward. Christ’s vision for marriage shines through the words.

This is hilarious.

Everytime I hear John Williams’ prologue music to the movie Hook, I feel like I’m 12 years old again and something wildly extraordinary is about to happen to make things the way they should be. The same feeling I get when I read the end of Lewis’ That Hideous Strength.
