If you've wondered what it is like being in Regnum Christi | English, a number of members talk about their experience in this video.

Me, describing myself in elementary school for this profile: “I was much more interested in dinosaurs than Jesus.” Obviously, that's not the case now decades later.

We know that poorer people & people of color tend to have more abortions, but they support abortion less than rich white folks. So don't use them as a reason for abortion: instead, let's provide them with the means so they don't feel forced to abort.

Aristotle has a lot to teach us but we need to be aware that he was often a product of his time. I saw this in his household structure & this points out his errors regarding "natural slavery" contrary to human dignity.

First Legionary Cardinal! Archbishop Fernando Vérgez Alzaga, LC: he runs the Governorate for Vatican City State Fr. Gianfranco Ghirlanda, SJ, is also a good choice. He's a canonist who helped the Legion out a bunch through our reform.

Some of the other LC priests in the DC area help with a youth ministry called LTP (Leadership Training Program). The young men in this group were recently on the news for what they are doing to help Ukrainian children.

Ever wonder what Legionary life is like? Most months month one LC gets our Instagram for a day to give you a snapshot.

This looks like it might be a big help in forming kids from their earliest years in Christian values using a format that appeals to them.

Many Christians want to ditch the materialism present in the modern world. This is good, but in so doing, we can get into other errors. Fr Harrison Ayre directs us to a proper sacramental worldview that links the physical & spiritual worlds.

I think this is a really important point for autistic prayer and spiritual growth. I recorded it a while later but post it today in preparation for my book launch. Hopefully, this helps you.

This is a great idea for a Senior tradition at a school: the Seniors lead a Eucharistic procession!

Catholic Social Teaching indicates a duty to vaccinate. In this second part on the general moral obligation to vaccinate, I analyze a paper by a Catholic doctor & Philosopher who analyzed Church teaching on the matter.

31% of retailers being out of baby formula is a serious concern. I don't have a magic solution, but this is a serious issue that if unresolved could lead to under-nutrition or death of babies.

Some arguments in Catholic circles about vaccines rely on them not being the default for Catholics or being extraordinary care. In this piece, I examine if they are ordinary or extraordinary care using fundamental moral theology, & bioethics.
