Catholic confusions in the Congress - George WeigelOn May 10, forty-eight Members of the U.S. House of Representatives — all Catholics, all Democrats, forty-five pro-choice, three pro-life — wrote Cardinal Theodore McCarrick of Washington, chairman of the bishops' "Task Force on Catholic Bishops and Catholic Politicians."

Divine Mercy in My Soul - Theresa BonopartisI didn’t want the children to see me crying again, so after putting them to bed I closed myself in the bathroom, crouched on the floor, and repeated over and over, “Jesus, I trust in You.” I don’t know how many hours I did that, but well into the night an experience changed my life.
