A Wedding Story

My wonderful wife has written a three-part story on her blog about just a few of the major physical and emotional difficulties she and I have had to overcome since our marriage began almost six years ago. I hope that my readers will take some time to read her story and share it however you deem appropriate. Our prayer is that God might use her writing about these issues to help other women and couples who may be going through similar struggles. Our God is faithful!

Part one:

How do you begin writing something that is so personal that the thought of others reading about it takes your breath away?

I have thought about writing our story many times. I have discussed it at length with my husband. I’ve prayed about it.

Why do I want to write about it if I am afraid? I think, sometimes, sharing your trials with others can be healing. I also want other women to know they aren’t alone; there are many variations of my story. I have heard them, now that I am looking for them.

So with a deep breath, here it goes.

A Former Catholic’s Perspective of the Manhattan Declaration

The latest Trinity Review contains a very interesting piece by Richard Bennett. Bennett is a former Roman Catholic priest, and in this article, The Roman Catholic Agenda Embedded in the Manhattan Declaration, he offers great insight into the behind-the-scenes workings of Rome’s social doctrine.

However important social issues may be, the purity of the gospel deserves greater priority than the preservation of the sanctity of marriage, the upholding of religious freedom, and even the prevention of infanticide.
