Marriage, Parentage, and the Constitution of the Family

Trilogía cuaresmal I: Armas para la batalla espiritual

Por Padre Víctor Salomón.

The Fatherless Epidemic

By Joel García.

The Undesirable Foreigner

By George Handlery.

The term, undesirable foreigner means different things to different people. Some individuals that happen to be a bit more native than others are inclined to regard everybody that differs from them in any way as a foreigner. From this judgment, they then proceed to their next verdict. It is that all foreigners are undesirable aliens.
