Reviews

I pray that this colloquium will be an inspiration to all who seek to support and strengthen the union of man and woman in marriage as a unique, natural, fundamental, and beautiful good for persons, communities, and whole societies. -- Pope Francis
We stand and speak not with clenched fists or with wringing hands, but with the open hearts of those who have a message and a mission. -- Russell D. Moore
You see, truth is still truth, no matter how many people doubt it. I may deny the law of gravity, but it doesn't change gravity. And just because we break God's laws, that does not invalidate them. A lie doesnt become a truth and wrong doesn't become right and evil doesn't become good just because its popular. -- Rick Warren
