Dialogue, Schmialogue

1. The party line is that the NDU commencement is supposed to be an opportunity for "dialogue" with the President about his anti-life policies. So why won't the NDU president also engage in dialogue with his own students and faculty about the matter? I guess they'lll talk to and honor an apologist for legal abortion, but not to the supporters of Church teaching?

2. Our wonderful Secretary of State stands by her praise of the founder of the Temple of Moloch, er, I mean Planned Parenthood, who was a racist apologist for mass murder. And this woman now oversees our "human rights" policies.

3. Speaking of intrinsic evil, it appears that the Temple of Moloch has been illegally performing abortions in unlicensed clinics in Texas. Add that to the indictment, which is getting very, very lengthy.

4. Want to know what an anti-life, contraceptive mentality looks like, in all its ugliness? Check out these depraved ads from Germany (don't worry, nothing you can't see at work). Remember, in the modern ideology, fertility is always the enemy.

5. Political zombie Gov. David Paterson has decided to push for same-sex "marriage", but members of his party are already jumping ship. Some SSM advocates are claiming that enough Republicans may join them, but they also believe in the Easter Bunny too.

6. Catholics who call themselves "orthodox" are more optimistic about the future of the Church. You mean that those who live their faith seriously also have hope? What a concept.

7. A significant win in Chicago for religious liberty -- a judge rules that the state can't force pharmacists to dispense "emergency contraception" if it is against their religious beliefs. The case isn't over, but this is a good step forward to final victory.

8. A new Catholic convert (welcome aboard!) reflects on the lack of religious freedom in other nations, where "apostasy" can bring death. In my own parish, several Muslims were received into the Church on Easter Sunday. Thank God for our religious liberty!

9. The Installation Mass was spectacular. I'll blog on it later today. Read the Archbishop's homily for yourself and get excited.

10. Happy Birthday Pope Benedict! Please, God, many many more!
