For a half century, abortion has been legal across the United States. Those days are over: the Supreme Court has overruled the 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade.

ANTI-CATHOLIC INVECTIVE SPAWNS VIOLENCE

By |2022-07-27T12:54:27-04:00July 27th, 2022|Categories: Catalyst, Features|Tags: |

The recent spate of Catholic churches that have been vandalized, as well as the bombing of pro-life crisis pregnancy centers (many of which are run by Catholics), are not a coincidence.
