Are We Headed for Civil War?

January 25, 2024

“The United States shall … protect each [state] against Invasion.” U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 10

This was one of the constitutional clauses invoked by Texas Governor Greg Abbott when he issued his statement asserting his right to defend his state's borders.

It was, as they say, the shot heard 'round the world.

Now multiple states are taking sides, for and against.

And a showdown seems imminent.

About Stella Maris Media

Our vision

The name Stella Maris has its roots in a 5th-century translation by St. Jerome of the Hebrew name for Mary, Miryam. Originally written as Stilla Maris, it meant "Drop of the Sea." Through what likely stemmed from a transcription error, this evolved into Stella Maris, which means "Star of the Sea."

This title has been cherished in Catholic tradition, especially among seafarers before modern navigation, as they relied on the stars to guide them. Notably, the North Star, Polaris, was also known as Stella Maris.

Beyond just seafarers, Stella Maris serves as a beacon for all of life’s travelers, illuminating the darkness and offering hope as it cuts through the fog, guiding us toward the bright shores of eternity.

"Bringing hope to a world in need."
