To converse with one another in a way that all parties find meaning; Is it possible? I hope so. This blog is an invitation to anyone who wants to discuss, quietly, with as little heat as possible, the topics of our day. The painting of the wounded bird is my daughter's work. I have always seen the crucifix in that particular work of hers and the intention of this blog is to converse in the shadow the crucifix provides. Like all things truly Christian this is a paradox, for in that particular shadow more light is to be found than anywhere in the universe.

How come . . . ?

How many have followed the conversion of Planned Parenthood worker Abby Johnson? It's a pretty cool story.

So here is my question. When the Bernard Nathansons and even the Norma McGorveys (the plaintiff in Roe v. Wade) and now the Abby Johnsons see the light and become pro-life, why is their conversion to pro-life so often accompanied by conversion to the Catholic Church.

Do evangelicals know this? Does it give them pause? Would it perhaps be something that might change how many bible-only folks think about the ancient faith (the Catholic one)?

What do evangelicals think when Lila Rose--who has done more than anyone else I can think of to expose the evil of Planned Parenthood's agenda--embraces the Catholic faith? Does it put any kind of dent in the "Whore of Babylon" myths so rampant in the evangelical world? Does it cause them to stop and re-consider their position?

Any curiosity out there at all?

A parallel question arises in light of the faith of the Scalia-Thomas-Roberts and Alito supreme court quartet, all of them pro-life, all of them devout Catholics.

just wondering . . .  is the wall between us that high that evangelicals can't see this sort of thing?
