President Obama gives amazing pro-life speech
This has been going around the Internet for a while now, but I wanted to wait until today, the March For Life, to post it:

Papacy In The Bible
Patrick Vandapool put up a great post on his blog outlining the case for the Papacy using only the Bible:
Friday Frivolity: How many novenas?
A man walked up to a Franciscan and Jesuit and asked, “How many novenas must you say to get a Mercedes Benz?”
The Franciscan asked, “What’s a Mercedes Benz?”
The Jesuit asked, “What’s a novena?”
OCD: Curse and Blessing
Earlier this week I produced a summary of a paper written by Dr. Daniel G. Amen about combating Automatic Negative Thoughts. I decided that today I’d add something of an addendum to that post and talk a little bit about my experiences with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
OCD is an anxiety disorder in which the sufferers have repeated, unwanted thoughts which compel them to perform certain actions which provide relief from the unwanted thoughts. This relief, however, is only temporary and the feelings, unbidden, soon return. The OCD mind then demands that the actions be performed once again. The actions quickly become ritualistic, increasingly elaborate and need to be repeated over and over again with increasing frequency in order to relieve the sufferer’s mind.
Losing our Listening
This is kinda cool. I came across this TED talk by Julian Treasure called “Five ways to listen better”:
Wise Words on Wednesday: All things new
“Do you see? Wherever humanity was broken, Jesus restored it… The coming of the Kingdom of God restores the world he made. God has been whispering this secret to us through creation itself, every year, at springtime, ever since we left the Garden” – John Eldredge, Epic, Page 82
Addressing the reasons for abortion
As the 40th anniversary of “Roe v Wade” draws to a close, I thought I’d post another video from Trent Horn‘s recent segment on Catholic Answers radio where pro-choice callers were invited to call in with their questions.
I would really recommend that you watch it as it’s apologetics at its best – clear, logical and cordial. If you do watch it, please watch it right until the end as the final comment is simply priceless.
(It’s also worth watching because at 6:20 Patrick, in true Canadian style,
uses the phrase “couldn’t care less”)
