Let's Pray Michael Voris and the CM-TV Staff Take Tantum's Blog Post to Heart

A cry of the heart towards my friends at CMTV [No longer on the blog]

Many insightful comments following the post as well.

And...I have to agree with Tantum. I've thought for awhile that Church Militant TV is over the top in their attack on the traditionalists. The smearing of Catholic Family News, John Vennari, Chris Ferrara, et al earlier this year was beyond the pale. I blogged about it at the time because I thought it was so unprofessional.

Please, Archbishop Chaput, Don't Kill the Messengers

Philly archbishop labels two Catholic groups 'destructive'

What's more "destructive?" Filling the Organization for the World Meeting of Families with pro-aborts...or exposing the scandal.

It was demoralizing to read this article.

Obama Calls Harvesting Organs "Atrocities that must end."

Wow! You didn't know that Obama was on the side of the little ones and against Planned Parenthood's organ harvesting atrocities, did you?

Oh wait! 

When he said he's against it, he wasn't talking about his friend Cecile's organ harvesting atrocities, he was addressing a practice in Africa where albinos are murdered and their organs used in ritual sacrifices. Here's what he said to the Young African Leaders' Initiative (YALI):

If there’s one thing I want YALI leaders to come out with, it’s the notion of you are strong by taking care of the people who are vulnerable, by looking after the minority, looking after the disabled, looking after the vulnerable. You’re not strong by putting people down you’re strong by lifting them up. That’s the measure of a leader.

One More Big Lie from Cecile Richards of Planned Parenthood!

Besides, now that we have Obamacare everyone is covered -- right?

These Monsters Must be Channeling Dr. Mengele! Hey, No Murdered Baby Goes to Waste.

And Planned Parenthood "has volume because they're a volume institution." And a lot of that "volume" comes from money provided by the taxpayers that lets them promote their false image as a caring organization that really helps women.

The question is, however, whether the conscience of this country is too dead to wake up. How many German citizens closed their eyes to the callous murder of millions of already born individuals? How many held their noses to avoid smelling the stench from the crematoriums in the camps and held their ears to avoid hearing the cries of the prisoners packed into railroad cars?

We've been doing the same thing in the U.S. since the 1960s when the first abortion laws were passed. And now will people see and repent? Let's pray so. None of us knows how much time this country has left, but one thing is for sure. We deserve a major chastisement and God has been more than patient with us. Remember what the Blessed Mother said at Fatima, "Do not offend the Lord our God any more, for He is already too much offended!" And that was in 1917! Have we improved since then? Conversion begins with prayer and repentance. Let's do penance for our own sins and the many souls who are in danger of hell.

Who Is Minding the Store? It Sure Isn't the Catholic Bishops!

World Meeting of Families President Funded Planned Parenthood Director’s Political Campaign

How could a supporter and contributor to pro-abortion candidates, one a Planned Parenthood director, possibly be considered an appropriate president for the World Meeting of Families and a member of its board of directors? 

It is this kind of betrayal and coddling of the CINOs (Catholics in Name Only) that shocks and offends the faithful in the pews. And I do mean "the faithful." Not everyone warming a pew has a Catholic mind and heart.  Robert Ciaruffoli surely doesn't have them. If he had a heart for the most vulnerable member of the family, the little one waiting to be born, he could not possibly finance champions of their murder. If he had a mind for the faith he would give rational assent to Church teachings.

I considered going to the World Meeting of Families. More and more I'm glad I didn't waste the time or money. I'll continue praying for the event and for those who attend, but when a Judas is spearheading the event, (One presumes the "president" has some important role.) can one really expect God to bless it?

Let us pray a decade of the rosary, the Crucifixion, in reparation for this serious scandal. Thanks to the Lepanto Institute for exposing it.

The Death Treatment

Ah, these heroic doctors helping the sad and depressed to kill themselves. You can almost see them salivating at the thought they can kill one more patient without ever talking to family members. How they honor the wishes and the autonomy of their patients. Give me a break!

How can anybody read an article like this and think we can have a "reasonable hope" that all will be saved. Universal salvation is patently wishful thinking in the face of diabolical evil like this.

A Positive Result of Hurricane Katrina: School Choice and Privatization of Education

This video illustrates several important principles

1. Private enterprise is more effective than government one-size-fits-all at producing success. 

2. School choice works. It improves performance and offers greater opportunities and more success to students.  

3. The Catholic principle of subsidiarity works. The lowest level of responsibility and authority should take precedence over higher levels. In this case, parents suddenly had real impact in decisions about their children's education. They became the authority on selecting the best situation for their families.

The current system is not without critics including those frustrated with the difficulty of navigating the system.  But New Orleans' students are doing much better than before and a failing system is now graduating most students with many going on to college.

If Your Adult Child was an Abortionist, What Would You Say to Her?

Abby Johnson of And Then There Were None has begun a new project called Love Letters. It was inspired by the broken-hearted mother of an abortionist who asked her how she could reach her daughter. It inspired this poignant letter. Read more at the website. Please pray for Cheryl and for her heartbroken parents. Is there any worse grief than fearing your child will go to hell? I am asking Blessed Jacinta, who had such a heart for sinners, to intercede for this abortionist and her family.

To Cheryl, my daughter
