Lexi Kilcoin | Friday, October 23, 2020

Which witch are you?

Lexi Kilcoin | Wednesday, October 14, 2020

Come little children I’ll take thee away into a land of enchantment … Is what I would say if I was an evil Sanderson sister from Salem, Massachusetts. You heard me right. It’s officially spooky season! Halloween might look a little different this year than most, however we can’t let that stop us from having

Lexi Kilcoin | Friday, October 2, 2020

Am I crazy or are you? Let’s let Nurse Ratched decide. In the new Netflix series “Ratched,” the psychotic psychiatric nurse derived from “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” finds herself face to face with a cold blooded killer.

“So we talked about abortion and marriage and re “So we talked about abortion and marriage and religious freedom, and I don’t know how we could not talk about it. I mean, we have to be authentic teachers. We’re not going to be silent about the truths that we hold dear.”

Joseph R. Biden has become the second Catholic President in United States history, but his position on abortion is “one that cannot be condoned” according to Rev. Robert Dowd. 

“Other bishops think that, because he’s a conscientious Catholic whose faith is obviously important to him, we should strike a more positive tone, particularly at the outset of his presidency.
