The speculation surrounding the health care bill has been confusing and head splitting–to say the least.
But it’s over.
And it’s passed.

With Senator Brown taking away the Democrat super majority in Senate, most were certain health care talks were dead in session. The President, intent on fulfilling a campaign promise, has redrawn the health care bill, pulling from both the House and Senate bills and seeking common ground. And a passable bill.
Regrettably, it’s clear Catholics cannot [...]

Michigan Congressman Bart Stupak (D) has gained quite a reputation for himself on Capital Hill during the past several months, but it’s not the kind of reputation most aim for.
Now he is enduring more hatred than perhaps any other member of Congress, much of it from fellow Democrats. His name has become a slogan: “Stop [...]

The example this sets for the youth of America [...]

Unfortunately, it looks like a deal for Senator Nelson and Senatorial Democrats who would like to sweep the health care bill through before Christmas.
I started a post last night covering the pressure being put on Senator Bob Casey of Pennsylvania and Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska. I needed to abandon the post but intended to [...]

“This is Saturday Night Live,” commented a CNN news reporter, referring to the live shot of the House floor debating health care reform. “Only it’s no laughing matter.”
You’re telling me.

The health care reform billed has been unveiled and just as strongly as liberals are pushing for it to pass, the U.S. Catholic Bishops are pushing for this bill not to pass.
In an email from the the USCCB pro-life office, EVERY parish in the nation is asked to insert a flyer protesting health care reform [...]

Senator Kennedy has been laid to rest and inundating coverage has by and large ceased but it’s time to turn conversation to what Catholic statements were really being made with the senator’s career, his funeral, and his legacy. The President, from the pulpit, called the Senator the greatest Senator of our time. And many are [...]
