Contraception Won’t Stop Abortion (because it’s causing it)
All too often, pro-lifers focus all their energy on getting rid of abortion. But as long as contraception is used and accepted, abortion won’t go away. Birth control leads directly to abortion. Why is this? On this episode, Fr. Boquet discusses why contraception and abortion are inherently intertwined.

Why You Need to Talk About Death
What’s the antidote to euthanasia? Can we use stories? In this episode, Amanda Achtman joins us to discuss the importance of familiarity with death.
Our culture offers two responses to death: avoid at all costs or embrace it as an escape. As Catholics, we accept death when it comes naturally, but we never seek it out. By talking about death positively, we can respond to this modern crisis.

Should Catholics donate organs? Isn’t it a heroic life-giving service? Not so fast. While organ donation can be a good thing, it’s often abused. In today’s society, it might be imprudent.
On this episode, Michael Vacca from the Christ Medicus Association joins us to talk about ethical questions about organ donation, including: brain death, live donors vs dead donors, organ donation and driver’s licenses, and using Advanced Medical Directives.
