George and Anderson Respond to Pope Francis
What did Pope Francis say about "civil unions"? What did he mean? How does the teaching of the Catholic Church on marriage and sexual morality bear on questions of legally recognized partnerships of various kinds? Ryan Anderson and I examine the questions.https://t.co/Ur8xRi8Rju

No public official or religious leader can change the nature of marriage or the moral status of non-marital sexual conduct. For a law to serve the common good, it must reflect the truth about marriage.https://t.co/Io1KthkVsZ via @PublicDiscourse @McCormickProf

Commonweal's Fluff Hit Piece on Latin Integralism
