Thousands Protest Outside PP Clinics Nationwide

Last updated on: August 22, 2015 at 2:15 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Thousands of pro life people protested at Planned Parenthood clinics around the country. It appears that Congress may have a spot of trouble keeping the lid on this long enough to use it for a campaign issue. If pro life people — who are a big part of the majority party’s electoral base — continue pushing, Congress might actually have to do something more than hold hearings and speechify. From the Washington Post: Thousands of antiabortion activists descended upon Planned Parenthood clinics on... Read more

Swiss Catholic LGBT Money Targets African Bishops Ahead of Synod

Ka-Ching! Politics of any sort runs on money, and the Church has its own politics. That’s a given. The scandal — and it is scandalous — is that Catholic bishops are reported to be using monies raised from the faithful as part of Lenten almsgiving to put pressure on other bishops to accede to gay rights. I have said repeatedly — and I meant it — that I have no problem with homosexual priests. However, I have a major problem with... Read more

My colleague Tom McDonald posted a story about another atrocity against Christians at the hands of ISIS. Everywhere, all over the world including here in the USA, Satan is on the move. From God and the Machine: In 284 St. Elian, a physician, refused to renounce Christianity and was killed by his father. The site of his death in Homs, Syria soon became a locus of miracles and devotion, and a Church was was raised there in the late 5th century. A stone... Read more

Mama is Better. I’m a Blank.

Something has happened to my brain. Twice now, yesterday and today, I’ve sat down to write … and could not formulate a thought. It’s stress, I think. And lack of sleep, I think. And being overwhelmed, I think. It’s understandable, I tell myself. It will pass. I believe that and don’t worry about it. I know it’s just part of this process. But … sheesh … I have the blankest of blank minds. It’s almost as if I’m not fully... Read more

Mama seems better the past couple of days, but she is hallucinating, which means no sleep for me. I’m sorry I’ve been so slow to come back to blogging. I’ve been going minute-by-minute on Mama care, and when I get a moment, I usually crash. I did take a few minutes to write this post about Lord Carey’s advocacy for euthanasia, as well as one of the tougher moments I’ve had with Mama since I brought her home from the... Read more

Converting the World, Ending Abortion, the Jesus Way

Mama is scheduled to come home from the hospital today. It’s a new reality. Most of what she could do before last week, she can no longer do. I’ve enlisted the help of hospice, and they’ve already been great. They brought over a hospital bed, oxygen, and all sorts of helpful equipment. But I am concerned about my physical ability to do the lifting and such. I’m asking for your prayers. In the meantime, I wrote this post for the... Read more

It Was a Mama Kind of Night

Caring for an old person is a little bit like driving a car with 300,000 miles on it. You never know when it’s going to break down, or in what weird way it will do it. Last night was an example of this. Mama passed out on us in a 3-2-1-lights-out sort of way, and then she stayed passed out. My oldest son and I spent hours in the er beside her bed while she was off wherever it was... Read more
