Ask Dr. Land: How is Catholic Church's view of President Biden?
When the head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) issues a statement representing 75 million American Catholics (23% of the total U.S. population) concerning the first Catholic president since JFK’s inauguration six decades ago, it is an important event.
Ask Dr. Land: Why is Trump’s Advisory 1776 Commission so important?

Ask Dr. Land: Why do we exchange gifts at Christmas?
So then Christian, I want to ask you this question, “What does Jesus want for Christmas?”
Ask Dr. Land: Is there a difference between the ‘letter’ of the law and its ‘spirit'?
I don’t think I’ve ever thought as long or prayed more earnestly over an Ask Dr. Land column than I have this one.
Why is abandoning the rule of law so dangerous?
If our younger citizens had been required to study Civics, I am certain more of them would understand that we in the United States live in what was designed as a “Constitutional Republic,” not a democracy. And what is the critically important difference in these two forms of government?
A president's legacy
If that proves to be the case, President Trump’s original intent, strict constructionist nominees will be having a positive influence on religious liberty and freedom in America long after President Trump has departed this world. And I certainly hope and pray that that is the case.
