POPSCatholic Nurse Forced to Perform Abortion "Remember, to the left abortion is a right. And your religion can't preclude others from exercising their rights. Your religion can't prevent some from having free speech or the right to assemble. They see abortion as the same thing. If they have their way, stories of health care workers being ordered to perform abortions will be an everyday occurence.."

POPSThe Life of Virtue - Sacrifice "In the Old Testament sacrifice derived its expiatory power from the blood of the victim but in the New Testament we read “you know that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your ancestors not with perishable things like silver and gold, but with the precious blood of Christ” (1 Peter 1:18-19)."

POPSWhite House Haste - In a Hurry to Wreck the Country! In all beneficial changes in the natural world...in all those changes, which are the work of an all-wise, all-seeing and superintending providence...you will find imperceptible changes; you cannot see the object move, but take your eyes from it for a while, and like the index of that clock, you can see that it has moved. The old proverb says, God works good, and always by degrees. The devil, on the other hand, is bent on mischief, and always in a hurry. He cannot stay; his object is mischief, which can best be effected suddenly, and he must be gone elsewhere.

POPSAtheists Need Better Liturgists "Both meanings are very suitable for the presentation and contemplation of Christian doctrine and there are many more meanings to these Christian symbols. A good symbol also requires no label, unlike the atheist hairdryer labeled "Reason". The symbol for "Reason" should be obvious and powerful enough that it requires no label. But there is no clear connection between a hairdryer and "Reason". Someone who labels things is more of a sloppy editorial cartoonist than a powerful image maker. Isn't that one reason we hated those 70s felt banners? Leaving that aside, what does a hairdryer do? It blows hot air. Umm, on second thought maybe they picked a revealing symbol for atheism after all."
