Biden’s ESG Investment Rules Threaten Your Retirement Savings

January 21, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on Biden’s ESG Investment Rules Threaten Your Retirement Savings

What exactly would this entail, and is he, indeed, a suitable candidate?It might be useful to ask first what, technically, is a Doctor of the Church?Traditionally, the title of Doctor of the Church has been…Continue Reading

More And More Abortion

January 15, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on More And More Abortion

By BARBARA SIMPSON It appears that no matter what laws are passed to make abortion easier and easier to obtain, there seems to be no limit. You can add the state of New Jersey to that.Long considered a state that didn’t rattle too many cages, things are changing now under the auspices of Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy’s administration.The state already has some of the most permissive pro-abortion laws and one of the highest abortion rates in the country. It’s reported that more than 22,000 abortions are performed in the state annually.Right now, New Jersey forces taxpayers to pay for elective abortions through Medicaid. Considering how little publicity the state gets on this issue, most people would be surprised at the…Continue Reading

January 11, 2023 Featured Today Comments Off on Pope Benedict’s Legacy To Young Catholics
