Love Your Spouse as You Love Yourself

by Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio

My dear brothers and sisters in the Lord,

When all is said and done, Blessed John Paul II’s book, “Theology of the Body,” is truly an anthropology of the human person. Modern science has limited itself to studying the origins of the human person and perhaps has not given adequate concentration on the present conditions of the human person.

Home of the Free Isn’t So Free These Days

by Ed Wilkinson

I drove to Philadelphia last week just to take a break for a few days. Tolls on the way down came to $24.50. Coming back, they amounted to $16. That’s $40 for the right to travel from one city to another.
While in the City of Brotherly Love, we stayed at a nice hotel with a reasonable rate. But there was a $25 room tax for each of the three nights. Another $75.
I’m reminded about the high cost of living these days and how much of that cost is attributed to big government. You literally cannot move without paying something to the government.
