Archbishop Niederauer on California Marriage Amendment
The supporters of Proposition 8 "see marriage and the family as the basic building blocks of human society, existing before government and not created by it."
While Christians in the secular West languish in spiritual mediocrity, Christianity remains a deadly serious matter almost everywhere else.



Magdi Cristiano Allam is a man with a chest. He stands out because this is an age of men (and women) without chests, an age of retreat. Pictured here after Baptism, he still carries the light of Christ in the darkness of the age.
"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise." Magdi Cristiano Allam is a man with a chest in an age of retreat.
