Among the latest Hollywood film offerings is Kinsey - a sanitized, celebratory biography of sexologist Alfred Kinsey, starring Liam Neeson in the title role. This film is another attempt to whitewash the career of this "research scientist," who in actual fact, was a notorious sexual deviant skewing research data to promote a perverse agenda.

The two-part show entitled Accidents Will Happen, revolved around Manny, a 14-year-old character played by Cassie Steele, as she finds out that she is preganant and is faced with the options of [...]
When I think of Gilles Grondin, it's the word "faith" that most readily comes to mind - his strong faith in God, in Jesus and in Christian principles of morality. What concerned Gilles above all was the salvation of his soul and the souls of his family members. To this end, he prayed every day. His dedication to the pro-life cause was [...]
