A Catholic Pope, Revisited

Provocative? Yes. Hateful? No.
By Michael Reagan on Tuesday, April 9th, 2013
Making Sense, by Michael Reagan Two weeks ago I wrote a column encouraging churches to take a moral stand and make their voices heard as the Supreme Court deliberates the constitutionality of California’s Proposition 8, which voters in my home state approved in 2008 to ban same-sex marriage. I pointed out that the fight over Proposition 8 is not just about the legality of gay marriage; it’s part of a larger effort by some factions ...
Renew our Founding Principles

Making Sense, by Michael Reagan Billions of Christians around the world celebrated Easter last Sunday, but not our media. Once again the holiest day of the Christian year slipped under their godless radar.

Fox TV, Rush Limbaugh and ...

But I’m frustrated. Talk radio and Fox are getting so boring, so predictable, so shrill, I can barely tune in anymore. Night after night on Fox, it’s ...
A Catholic Pope, Revisited
By Michael Reagan on Thursday, March 14th, 2013
Making Sense, by Michael Reagan By the time you read this, the world’s billion-plus Roman Catholics may have a new pope. And when the black smoke of Tuesday’s indecisive first vote has turned to the white smoke of final decision, don’t be surprised if the cardinals have chosen… a Catholic pope. After the election of Benedict XVI in 2005, I wrote that the cardinals had correctly ignored the desires of some people to install a ...
