by Judie Brown

There are those people and organizations that are exemplars of the Catholic faith. And then there are those that make us wonder how they could ever call themselves Catholic.

What happens when human beings are no longer considered human beings or valued as such? When people are ill, disabled, or otherwise considered “damaged” or “imperfect,” they often seem to lose the status of being a human being.

Today’s guest commentary examines this and stresses the importance of valuing each and every life.

Or are we leaving them a world filled with love and kindness, a world where all people—born or preborn, infirm or healthy—are cherished and respected? Today’s commentary addresses the court’s decision and explains why its mentality is detrimental to our society.

by Judie Brown

Catholic universities have an obligation to uphold and revere the teachings of Christ and His Church—and to instruct others how to do the same. When a high-ranking member of the government—who claims to be Catholic but does not follow the teachings of the Church—is thrust upon students, there must be an outcry. But is this the case? Read today’s commentary for more about this important subject.
