The Simple Truth

3/17/23 - As pro-lifers, it is our duty to do whatever we can to change every human heart and mind when it comes to the concept of Constitutional personhood. That starts with educating the opposition (or those in our movement who are "too soft") on topics such as IVF, the abortion pill, and other harmful practices that ultimately result in the destruction of human lives.

3/16/23 - Some prefer the Traditional Latin Mass, others the Novus Ordo. Do we really have an answer as to which is "better" or more spiritually valuable? Fr. Jeff Fasching answers the question everyone is asking and explains his stance.  If you wish to offer support to Fr.

3/15/23 - In August of 1879, Our Lady, accompanied by St. Joseph and St. John the Evangelist, appeared to fifteen parishioners in Ireland.

3/13/23 - In the past three years, rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide have tripled. Loss of identity and purpose is rampant and a collective fear and sadness has become overwhelming.

On Saturday, March 18th, 2023, eight mental health experts are coming together to off...

3/10/23 - If you're reading this, you were given the right to life. It's a simple argument: we wouldn't be here today if that weren't the case. Still, many pro-lifers seem content on negotiating with the opposition and making exceptions for Constitutional personhood. Why is IVF okay when it kills unborn children? And why do organizations like Students for Life (and Death, apparently) not only allo...

3/9/23 - The Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) serves as a guardian of tradition and the Holy Eucharist. Whether you attend the TLM or a reverent Novus Ordo, it's hard to argue against the notion that desecrations of the Eucharist have become more and more common. How did we get to this point, and is there anything we can do to reverse course?

3/8/23 - In September of 1956, Our Blessed Mother appeared for the first time as Our Lady of America. Today we'll discuss her requests and whether or not we've followed through with them. Would we be in a different spot today if we had lived as she intended?

3/3/23 - Prominent Republican figure Mike Pence is a self-proclaimed pro-lifer. So, why have he and his wife participated in IVF multiple times?

Today we'll discuss the hypocrisy of those who claim to be pro-life but refuse to speak the truth...

3/1/23 - In AD 40, Mary appeared to the Apostle James the Greater while he was in Spain - but here's the twist: Mary herself was still alive at the time and was said to be in Jerusalem! How could Our Blessed Mother possibly have been in two different places at the same time? Today we unpack the mystery behind what is considered to be the world's very first Marian apparition: Our Lady of the Pillar...
