Trump/Vance's recent statements
August 26, 2024

Trump/Vance have recently said:

Trump would VETO a national ban on abortion.

They support “access to” abortion pills (60% of all abortions).

They think it’s California’s “right” to permit abortion up until birth, but if states like Arizona ban most abortions they “go too far.”

Due to their increasingly pro-abortion position, Trump/Vance is stretching the lesser of two evils voting strategy to an untenable position. 

Without some indication that they will work to make our nation a safer place for preborn children, they are making it impossible for pro-life voters to support them. 

Being less passionate about killing babies then Harris/Walz is not enough.

Christmas, Blindness, and Poverty w/ Fr Spitzer

In today’s Christmas episode, I sit down with the brilliant Fr. Robert Spitzer—renowned theologian and philosopher—to reflect on the mystery of Christmas and the profound lessons we can draw from suffering and humility. Fr. Spitzer also shares how his blindness has deepened his faith, transforming a challenge into a blessing.

The story of salvation begins with a baby—helpless, vulnerable, and entirely dependent. Jesus entered our messy, broken world not in grandeur but in a humble manger. His Incarnation calls us to embrace childlike trust and humility, showing us that strength is perfected in weakness.

Join us as we explore why Christ might have chosen such a humble beginning, how suffering can deepen our spiritual lives, and how the Incarnation changes everything.

Why Is Christian Antisemitism Evil? w/ Trent Horn

Is it okay for Christians to be anti-Semitic? What does the phrase really mean, and why does this hatred persist today? In this thought-provoking episode, Trent Horn, apologist and host of the popular Counsel of Trent podcast, sits down with Lila to explore these critical questions from a Christian perspective.

They dive deep into the troubling rise of anti-Semitism and unpack the idea that “being based can send you to hell.” Trent also shares insights into the creative process behind his apologetics podcast, revealing how he selects topics that resonate with his audience. The conversation also covers vocations, preparing for death, the importance of mentorship, and more.

Read an unreleased chapter of my book Fighting for Life!

Shortly after I became Catholic in college, I visited a little steepled white church while home on summer break. It was surrounded by gardens and had a chapel with perpetual adoration (meaning it was open 24/7 for prayer, with Jesus in the Eucharist visible on the altar). When I moved back to California at twenty-eight, I hoped to live near this church on the San Francisco Peninsula.

I asked some friends if they knew anyone who was renting a room in the area and ended up moving in with a woman named Sallie, who lived just blocks from that same church. Brilliant and driven, Sallie began her career on Wall Street and had worked for a number of large companies. Now in her late forties, she had a beautiful home and we had wonderful late-night conversations about career, faith, vocation, and politics.

One night, Sallie shared with me how she had been encouraged as a young woman to nd self-worth and fulllment in her achievements, including successfully competing in the corporate world. In her quest to become a high-performing career woman, however, she let things like marriage and having children fall by the wayside. Now, having recently found her faith, she realized the value of what she had missed.

“It was like all that mattered back then was a career and proving that I was just as good as any man in the office. And I was just as good as any of the men!” Sallie said as we sipped tea together.

“Did you enjoy what you were doing?” I asked.

God's Active vs. Permissive Will

God's Active vs. Permissive Will 

This article is based on our conversation with Kendra Tierney Norton titled: "Finding Love After Death, Suffering, And God's Will"

God's Active and Permissive Will: God has both an active will and a permissive will. His active will is where He directly wills what is good, holy, and aligned with His nature. His permissive will allows for evil or suffering to occur, not because He desires it, but because He respects human free will and the consequences of living in a fallen world. This permission is always with the intention of bringing a greater good from it, even if that good is beyond human understanding. St. Augustine eloquently noted, “God judged it better to bring good out of evil than to suffer no evil to exist.” This underscores that God’s allowance of suffering is never arbitrary but always purposeful.

God's Nature: God is love and perfect goodness (1 John 4:8). He does not create or wish for evil in itself. For example, while God did not create death or suffering, He permits it as a consequence of original sin and the free will choices of humanity. St. Thomas Aquinas reinforced this in his Summa Theologica, explaining that God allows evil so that He may bring about a greater good. This is akin to a parent allowing a child to face challenges or consequences to foster growth and resilience.

5 Life-Changing Reasons to Pray the Rosary
5 Life-Changing Reasons to Pray the Rosary

The rosary is more than just a set of prayers; it’s a spiritual tool that can transform your life, bringing peace, strength, and a deeper connection to God. Here are five ways incorporating the rosary into your daily routine can be life-changing, based on our recent conversation with Gabriel Castillo 

1. Deepen Your Relationship with Christ

The rosary is a meditative journey through the life of Jesus, from His birth to His resurrection. Each mystery invites you to reflect on key events, such as His miracles, teachings, and ultimate sacrifice. By meditating on these moments, you enter more deeply into the heart of Christ’s life, experiencing His love, humility, and mercy in a personal way. It’s an opportunity to walk with Him, share in His joys and sufferings, and grow closer to His heart.

2. Find Inner Peace and Clarity

In a world full of distractions, stress, and anxiety, the rosary offers a moment of stillness and calm. The repetitive prayers act as a form of meditation, helping to quiet the mind and bring a sense of peace. It allows you to let go of worries, focus on what truly matters, and connect with God’s presence. Over time, this daily practice can bring clarity to your thoughts, calm to your heart, and resilience in facing life’s challenges.

3. Experience the Power of Intercessory Prayer

The rosary is not only a way to pray for your own intentions but also a powerful tool to intercede for others. By asking Mary to pray with you and for you, you tap into a long tradition of intercessory prayer that has brought about countless miracles and conversions. Whether you’re praying for loved ones, seeking healing, or asking for guidance, the rosary is a means of placing your needs and those of others into God’s hands, trusting in His providence and love.
