Links for 01/24/17: At Our Sunday Visitor, the editors remind Catholics that truth is a value of inestimable worth. In this age of "alternative facts" this commentary is timely.

MGB:_I suspect that many at The Visitor believe Trump’s alternative facts under the heading of deeper truth (kind of like the Church ignoring the moral implications of gastrulation).

She needs to decide how she wants the pro-life movement to succeed before she tries to join forces with progressives. Criminal bans or court rulings that lead to them are always unacceptable. Loss of federal jurisdiction on equal protection (a major pro-life goal) is abhorrent and unAmerican.
