Michigan Parish Sues to Protect Religious Liberty

This could pose a problem for institutions who want to hire employees that pledge to live by a certain code of values, especially Catholic institutions who want their employees to publicly uphold Church teachings.

Solzenitsyn’s Advice to the Free World

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was one of the great souls of the twentieth century. A survivor of World War II, cancer, and 11 years in captivity in the Soviet Gulag, he exposed the true nature of Soviet brutality to the Western world. December 11 is the anniversary of his birth and we are looking back at his life with David Deavel.
