  • Election 2016—There May Still be Hope

    IT MAKES SENSE TO MEBy Larry Peterson Pope St. John Paul II said, “A nation that kills its own children is a nation without hope.” Hillary Clinton’s decades of political experience have allowed her to master the art of parsing the English language to suit the moment.

  • Executed for Refusing to Say “Yes”*

    IT MAKES SENSE TO ME  By Larry Peterson The pages of Catholic/Christian history are filled with countless names of those who came from virtual anonymity and proceeded to leave an indelible mark in our lives.

  • Asia Bibi–Wife & Mom; Catholic/Christian and "Blasphemer"; Sentenced to Death for Loving Jesus

    IT MAKES SENSE TO MEBy Larry Peterson  Asia Bibi is a Catholic wife,  mother of five and our sister in faith. She will stand before the Supreme Court of Pakistan during the month of October, 2016, and hear the final verdict as to whether or not she should be executed by hanging. You see, Asia…

  • The Catholic Church—Saying “NO” to a World Screaming “YES”

    IT MAKES SENSE TO MEBy Larry Peterson How did the precepts of ethics and morality, based on the Ten Commandments and the “Golden Rule”, become a pariah to so many?

  • Valentine’s Day is Overshadowed by Pride

     IT MAKES SENSE TO ME By Larry Peterson  Valentine’s Day is here.  It is supposed to be all about Love. Yet beyond the heart covered Valentine cards, the flower bouquets and candy and all of that, we must, as unpleasant as it may be, recognize what we truly have going on this Valentine’s Day of 2016.  Yes,…

  • Pride vs the Humility of Pope Francis

    IT MAKES SENSE TO ME By Larry Peterson This is from the Gospel of Luke; Chapter 9: vs 46-50 An argument arose among the disciples about which of them was the greatest.

  • Why Do Some People Hate God? Because God has Rules

    It Makes Sense To Me By Larry Peterson How did this principle of ethics and morality based on the Ten Commandments  and  Natural Law somehow become a pariah to so many?

  • Pope Francis: Pride, Humility and the Gospel of the Day After

    IT MAKES SENSE TO MEBy Larry Peterson Pope Francis has gone back to Rome. Sigh–I miss him. I live in central Florida so the closest he ever got to  me was probably about 330 miles away and that was in a foreign country, Cuba. The closest I got to him in the United States was…

  • The "Shameful Silence"—It Honors Evil

    IT MAKES SENSE TO ME by Larry Peterson                                                          “Silence in the face of evil is evil itself.”   Dietrich Bonhoeffer Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a Lutheran theologian in Germany…

  • From Persecution.org—The story of "Yohan" by Troy Augustine

    IT MAKES SENSE TO ME By Larry Peterson I usually do not re-post other columns but on this Sunday, June 14, 2015, as we in America celebrate “Flag Day” honoring “Old-Glory”  and all the freedoms she represents, I thought I would share this post from Persecution.Org.
