+++ Roving Reporter #21 - Eva Muntean on the Walk for Life West Coast (10min) >>> Play

Ave Maria! Back in June at the Catholic Family Conference in Anaheim, CA we ran into Eva Muntean from Ignatius Press and she gave us an interview about the Walk for Life West Coast of which she is Co-chair. This is the San Francisco version of the Washington, DC March for Life, but is more interesting because San Francisco is a much more left-wing town and so the pro-abort counter protesters are far more numerous, vociferous and . . . obscene than in DC. Despite all this, the Pro-lifers keep their dignified calm and the numbers keep growing into the tens of thousands. In this video we included many clips from past Walks for Life. See if you can tell the difference between the pro-life protesters and the pro-abortion counter protesters along the side. (Even after we cut out all their obscene gestures it is still easy to tell.) The 2008 DC March for Life will be on Tuesday, Jan 22, the San Francisco Walk for Life was held just last Saturday, Jan 19. Ave Maria!

Standing Fast #12 - Fr. Angelo on Christ the King and a man’s duty to put on his crown and follow Him (9min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

In this episode of Standing Fast Fr. Angelo explains the need for men to imitate Christ the King by making use of the graces given at baptism to be Priests, Prophets and Kings. He says both men and women get these graces but men especially have the duty to be good, saintly kings in their families and society. So all you men out there, put down the Bud and the potato chips, grab your scepter and crown, and listen-up!

Ave Maria!

MaryVictrix on Men:

Have you ever noticed the relative proportion of men to women in most Catholic Church congregations, societies, and apostolic movements? Men are not only outnumbered by women, but their relative absence is quite remarkable. There are any number of reasons suggested by social scientists, and Catholic thinkers for this fact. But the one that speaks to the real differences between men and women is that so much of what is available on the Catholic menu is contemplative and charismatic, and so little of it is missionary, evangelical and directly involved in Catholic action.

When will Catholic men, as a body, put prayer first and then translate that prayer into a program of action to reclaim society for Christ?
