I wanted to share a site I have loved visiting for over a year now.
Les Femmes, Women of Truth
They have stood up for truth in many areas of the Catholic faith. It was here that I discovered the stories of priests who were persecuted throughout the country. In most cases, these priests have been marginalized or shut out for being too orthodox.
There is also a memorial page for Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J., whom I have always admired. Be sure and read that page while you are there as it has links of some great writings.
Lastly, there is a "Don't Touch" section that has a link for VIRTUS information and the truth behind its origins. This was one of the main reasons I felt called to home school my children. Mandating sex ed for my kids at such a young age is despicable. Especially by the very institution trying to teach them morals and aid me in my job as a parent. Eh, it's my blog so I set up a soapbox for a moment. Anyway, I do love this site for the resources and "truthiness".
EDIT: Did I mention that VIRTUS is now mandatory? I wanted to make sure that was clear. You cannot go to a school in the diocese now without the VIRTUS workshop under your belt. Er, no pun intended. I guess it is obvious this miffed myself and many other parents I know. Here is another link on the Fr. Altier site to reference more about this: Not Safe Anymore
According to LifeSite News, one of the first endorsements for the safe environment program VIRTUS came from Catholic Rainbow Parents based in the Archdiocese of St. Paul-Minneapolis, a group of parents of homosexuals who actively lobby for the rights of the GLBT community within the Catholic Church.
