The subject of Natural Family Planning comes up every now and then, and it seems there’s quite a lot of disagreement over it. At Inside Catholic, Simcha Fisher had an article on NFP yesterday that took a more insightful look at the topic than I’ve seen in a while. But there’s more, I think, that [...]

My latest column, Face to Face With The Death Penalty, is up today at Inside Catholic.
