Ave Maria! On August 16, a Sunday, the RI Chapter of National Organization for Marriage (NOM) in conjunction with the Diocese of Providence held their first annual Celebrate Marriage and Family Day at the Aldrich Mansion in West Warwick, RI. It was a smash hit with hundreds of couples and families from RI and beyond coming to celebrate marriage and even renew their vows. We interviewed Fr. Bernard Healy of the Diocese of Providence who explained the significance of the event and plans for future action. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! In this episode, Corinn talks with regular guest Peter Wolfgang, head of the Family Institute of Connecticut. Continuing their talks on the state of marriage in our country, Peter discusses the ramifications of a society where marriage means anything and nothing at the same time.

Ave Maria! In this episode, Corinn talks with regular guest Peter Wolfgang, head of the Family Institute of Connecticut, an organization designed to strengthen the family in Connecticut. Peter & Corinn discuss the history of the deterioration of marriage in the past 20 years in our country, and where we stand right now in this fight. Marriage is an institute that predates society &, in it’s natural form, benefits the individual & society. Thanks to contraception laws in the 60s & the no-fault divorce laws of the 70s, the sacredness of the marriage bond – which is a covenant before God – has eroded to the point of allowing unnatural, depraved unions to be called marriages in our western world. Peter explains the whole gamut of issues surrounding the crisis of marriage in his usual thoughtful, energetic, & engaging style. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! In the tenth presentation at our International Centenary Symposium on the Mariology of Bl.

The presentation is read by Fr. Johannes M.M. Smith, F.I. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! We went to the Connecticut State Capitol yesterday to get the scoop on the efforts to protect religious freedom in the face of the impending vote on the same-sex ‘marriage’ bill and Peter Wolfgang of the Family Institute of CT (FIC) generously gave the Roving Reporter and interview. As predicted, the bill passed the Senate and the House but not before having some important amendments attached that at least partially protect foundational liberties thanks to the action of FIC, the Knights of Columbus, the National Organization for Marriage and the 20,000 Connecticut citizens who called their legislators. The Hartford Currant has a full story of some of the secular points but as Peter Wolfgang points out in one of the FIC’s emails:
Well, most of the points that FIC and friends pushed for were added to the amendment which had been rejected by the Judiciary Committee a few weeks earlier. A good day for liberty. Deo Gratias! Ave Maria! |

Ave Maria Meditations
In our present world where the embracing of intrinisic evils, which are the compromises with the devil, are becoming more and more mainstream and even mandated, a courageous voice spoke out in 1968. He was publicly denounced for this even by high ranking clergy. Society was warned but did not heed the warning and never has human life become so cheapened and the dignity of a human being so debased. The consequences of the embracing of moral evils has yet to be fully realized. God help us.

Ave Maria! Our 500th Post!! Deo Gratias! Peter Wolfgang, Executive Director of the Family Institute of Connecticut gives us an interview at the pro-family rally they sponsored at the CT State Capitol to send a message to the Ct Supreme Court to not suppress existing legislation in the court case Kerrigan et al v. the state Department of Public Health. If the supreme court decides in favor of the plaintiffs then all the recent legislative victories won in recent years to keep marriage defined as a union between a man and a woman will be negated. Listen to this interview from the front lines of the state level national battle to protect marriage and religious freedom. Ave Maria! |
