Beyond Condoms in the AIDS Debate
Teaching abstinence outside marriage and
fidelity within has been proved to be

A Pro-Life Nation
Many speak of abortion as a fruit of
women's emancipation and progress, but
Poland sees it otherwise: Legal abortion
was imposed there first by the Nazis and
later by the Communists, and it has
repercussions.

mistakenly believes the procedure will
erase the pregnancy and that life will
return to normal, says the founder of a
forum for those affected by abortion.

Basilica Hymn
A delightful dwelling was given to Adam, the father of all, but he forsook it through his weakness. And because he had broken the commandment, the Evil one guided him and handed him and his children over to insatiable Death. But when the Creator saw that [Adam’s] constitution had been corrupted by both of them, he sent his Son and he saved him from their hands, and, instead of the inheritance of the garden, he gave him a dwelling in heaven, and treaded a path for Adam and his sons from Sheol below to that land upon which the angels do not dare to gaze out of fear. For this, let us cry out and say: Glory to your mercies, O Lord of all!
