The universal uniqueness of Christmas
What is Christmas about? What is all the fuss?
Is a Catholic ‘charter school’ the answer?
If Catholics in Oklahoma want such a school, it must be funded by private money furnished by the supporters of such education. Let me be clear, I would oppose such a sectarian charter school if it were Baptist.
Is America leading the world in ‘child neglect’?
America’s future will in large part depend on whether we revalue marriage, parenting, and child-rearing at the expense of the self-destructive and false search for meaning and self-fulfillment in sexual self-gratification. Our nation’s children await our answer.

The ‘Gordean Knot’ of moral proportionality in the Middle East (part I)
After Oct. 7, I wonder if that is still true, or whether we have crossed a threshold none of us should wish to be crossed.
The ethical bankruptcy of ‘moral equivalency’
Those who claim a “moral equivalency” between the Hamas terrorists and the Israeli government betray either a lack of integrity or a seriously demagnetized moral compass.
