Martin Luther King and Abortion
This was, I believe, my last column for the East Tennessee Catholic, published right around this time in 2010. Since this is the time of year for participating in Martin Luther King parades and Marches for Life, it seems like a good day to share it with you. Our...
Embryo Adoption: What Does the Church Say?

Happy Birthday, Mima
Today would have been my maternal grandmother’s 99th birthday. She died in January 2008. The following was the column I wrote immediately following her death. When I tell people about this column, I say I write about “life issues.” But that means that...
