I am writing this at a time when a number of attacks have destroyed images of Our Blessed Mother in Europe, the Americas, and elsewhere. I must add a personal note to this: recently I have conversed with ordinary people that suddenly revealed a rather unusual hate for all things Christian. Beleaguered by contagious infirmities, rumors of war, ruinous policies coming from various governments, terrorism of many kinds, crime and a host of maladies too long to be listed, the poor chaps still have … [Read more...]

One interesting update concerns the Catholic Campaign for Human Development’s (CCHD) Truth About CCHD page. CCHD first published this page about ten years ago, and it contains various attempts to defend the abysmal granting record of the CCHD.
