Over 10 months ago, a woman named June reached out to ask me to present Building Bridges to her parish sometime in 2024. June is a member of the parish council of St. Joseph’s in New Paltz, New York, where they host lecture series on a variety of social issues important to Catholics. They’ve covered […]
Last week I joined SPL supporters to rally in Phoenix against Prop 139. Arizona already allows elective abortion until 15 weeks, but apparently that’s not enough for abortion advocates.
