And the tides begin to turn

Just like the rest of you, I too am disconcerted with the state of affairs today. For example, the Obama's "health care" program, which will lead to more abortion and euthanasia. The government's refusal to let Belmont Abbey College be Catholic. The women religious who are annoyed that the Vatican wants them to act like, well, religious women.

But there is hope:

Yes, there's reason for hope.

And not the kind that Obama tries to peddle.
