      • Pray for Courageous Bishop Thomas Tobin, the Defender of Marriage and Family
        May 11, 2012 | by By Deacon Keith Fournier / Catholic Online
        The decision of President Barack Obama to endorse same-sex marriage is extremely disappointing, but not at all surprising. This is a very divisive and devious president who, from the beginning of his administration has actively pursued a liberal, secular agenda that discards fundamental moral values including respect for human life, and religious freedom. This is a sad day in American history. Even the President of the United States does not have the authority to redefine the sacred institution of marriage that has been given to us by God. (Bishop Thomas Tobin, Bishop of Providence, RI)

      • For Greater Glory
        May 1, 2012
        This movie is important for all Catholics to see, given the recent threats to our own religious freedoms by the Obama administration ... What price would you pay for freedom? In the exhilarating action epic FOR GREATER GLORY an impassioned group of men and women each make the decision to risk it all for family, faith and the very future of their country, as the film's adventure unfolds against the long-hidden, true story of the 1920's Cristero War ­the daring people's revolt that rocked 20th Century North America ... Click on the title for more information about this new movie.
