There is no reason for late-term abortions. Abortion supporters are fond of saying that people like Dr Kermit Gosnell, the late Dr George Tiller and Dr LeRoy Carhart perform a “necessary service” for “desperate women” when they “provide” late term abortions. Not true. Not even close to being true. There is no reason for a late-term abortion. None. Zip. Zilch. The legislators I work with, and (I would guess) much of the general public, lives in a fantasy land about... Read more
So far as I’m concerned this settles it. According to Archbishop Gerhard Muller, prefect for the Vatican’s doctrine congregation, the Holy Father has reaffirmed the Vatican’s assessment of the American Leadership Conference of Women Religious. The assessment found “serious doctrinal problems” and the findings also said that the Conference needed to be reformed. This action resulted in public controversy and bitter comments that the bishops were a just a bunch of men attacking women for supporting the poor. I think... Read more
No Abortion Workers = No Abortions It’s a simple equation. One that Abby Johnson seeks to employ with her ministry Then There Were None. The ministry held its first Leave the Abortion Industry Day on Monday, April 8. Five abortion workers have contacted her ministry for help in quitting the industry so far. In addition to the babies this ministry will save, these five people have been saved as well. Thank you Abby, for what you are doing. From LifeSiteNews:... Read more
In his first month in office, Pope Francis has shown us that he is a man of: 1. Simplicity 2. Approachability 3. Continuity and Fidelity to the Magisterium 4. Tenderness 5. Service Read more
Pope Francis preached another wonderful homily when he celebrated Mass today. This pastoral Pope seems to understand us. He is able to preach to us in a way that reaches into our lives and tells us directly how to follow Jesus as we wend our way through life. His homilies are shot through with theology, but it’s theology that doesn’t announce itself. The Holy Father is able to teach and preach theology in a real-world way that his listeners can comprehend and... Read more
While rehearsing for a new album (which will be coming out this summer) the Dominican Sisters hear that there is white smoke … Read more
This is a Eucharistic flash mob. I wonder what the response to this would be in one of our malls; or on the Mall in Washington DC, or any number of public places. Here in Oklahoma, we have so few Catholics, it might just lead to confused stares and dome scratching from all the Southern Baptists. 🙂 Read more
Former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has been excoriated this week in a way that makes no sense. After all, she was a duly elected official who served her term in office in a way that received approval from a good number of the people she governed. Nothing in her governance that I know of lends itself to the unseemly, downright crude behavior that has followed her death. Jessica Hof, who blogs at All Around the Watchtower, wrote an interesting post, Women,... Read more
Pro life bloggers and tweeters have raised public awareness of the trial of Dr Kermit Gosnell, the late-term abortionist who is on trial for murder. It appears that the media is beginning to respond to this pressure with increased coverage. However, when I asked the question earlier this week, Public Catholic readers told me they had seen coverage back when Dr Gosnell was first arrested. I did some looking around and turned up this incredible video by Katie Couric. I’ve... Read more
Elizabeth Scalia aka The Anchoress has done a fantastic job writing about the media blackout on the Kermit Gosnell trial. The only reason the media is beginning to take note of this horror is because of the work she and others like her have done. Her recent column at First Things is no exception. Here is an excerpt: Gosnell Headlines? Gone, Baby, Gone! Feb 1, 2011 Elizabeth Scalia The story of Kermit Gosnell, the Philadelphia abortionist who ran what a Grand... Read more
