Talk about an epic fail! If Democratic Pennsylvania State Rep. Brian Sims thinks his troubles are over after offering a "sorry-not-sorry" apology for his outrageous harassment of a woman and several teens for praying outside an abortion clinic, he is sorely mistaken. Officials have requested a criminal investigation of his conduct and the father of the teen girls he tried to expose issued an ultimatum that is making Sims' fundraising efforts blow up in his face.

“We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through. I do not think that wide circles of the American society, or wide circles of the Christian community, realize this fully.

– Karol Wojtyla (St. John Paul II)

All of those women who parade through the streets in support of “choice” and radical late-term abortion policies need to stop calling themselves champions of women’s rights, especially not after a new study found that the very “reproductive rights” they fight for are what has cost the lives of 23 million females across the globe.

Our Lady of Fatima asked us to pray the rosary for peace in the world. Why is her message more relevant today than ever before? How does this enliven your commitment to praying the Rosary every day?

Catholics traditionally consider the month of May as a time of particularly deep Marian devotion. Contemplation on the exalted life, mission, role and dignity of the Virgin Mary is rich and efficacious for growth in faith, hope, and love.
