FRONT ROYAL, Virginia, September 29 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer, STL, president of Human Life International, (HLI) today launched an international campaign to promote praying the St. Michael prayer after every Mass. The grassroots campaign is designed to encourage the laity to pray for St. Michael's intercession for the conversion of abortionists. It is also a call to priests and bishops to include the St. Michael prayer after the final blessing at all Masses.
"The fight against the culture of death is primarily a spiritual battle," Euteneuer said, "and Human Life International knows that with the aid of St. Michael, abortionists around the world will convert from their cooperation with evil."
Euteneuer said, "Nowhere are the words of St. Paul that 'our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens' (Ephesians 6:12), more evident or obvious than in the abortion battle."
He continued, "As a pro-life organization we are naturally concerned with the babies killed by abortion and their mothers who are ravaged by it. But we are also concerned with the eternal souls of those caught up in this evil, the abortionists, and others who promote it. We want to see them in Heaven, and as a priest that is of ultimate concern to me."
HLI is asking people to sign a pledge of support for the campaign and pray the St. Michael prayer daily, especially after each Mass, and send copies of the pledge to parishes to be inserted in the weekly bulletins.
HLI has produced St. Michael prayer cards in five languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese. A link to sign the pledge online, information on ordering the prayer cards and the text of the prayer in 19 different languages can be found at: www.hli.org/st_michael_prayer.html.
TOPICS: Culture/Society; News/Current Events
KEYWORDS: abortion; catholic; moralabsolutes; prolife
Euteneuer said, "Nowhere are the words of St. Paul that 'our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens' (Ephesians 6:12), more evident or obvious than in the abortion battle." And it is truly a worldwide battle of good vs. evil, of God vs. Satan.

Doesn’t God know when he creates these mothers, that they are going to have an abortion, even the day and time?

God doesn’t not violate the free will He has given us.

If you agree that God knows what and when these mothers will do before He even creates them and that He cannot be wrong, how can these mothers make any other free-will choice than what Gods knows they will make?

OK, I’ll go one step at a time.
Do you believe that God knows what people will do before they are born?

Yes, but your entire premise is based upon humans being automatons, and not with wills of their own.

I have never been vociferously Pro-Life, but I have developed an argument should anyone ever ask me about it:
Do you consider yourself Pro-Choice?
If YES, proceed to Q1)
Q1) SCENARIO 1):
At 1mo. of development, a fertilized human egg has divided approximately XX times
and has not developed any appreciable nervous system beyond that of simple cell interaction.
Obvioulsy, there is no 'brain' as we would normally define it.
Is termination at this point an acceptable action?
If YES, proceed to Q2)
Q2) SCENARIO 2):
If a live birth occurs, and a baby has been born with a nervous system that had stopped developing at 1mo.
The baby will forever be dependent on full-life support, never develop a presence or personality,
and likely not even survive the extraordinary measures being taken.
Is removal of life support an acceptable action?
If YES, proceed to Q3)
Q3) SCENARIO 3):
Would you still answer YES to Q2
if the baby in Scenario 2 could develop and recover to become totally normal
if allowed to remain on life support for an additional 8mos?
If NO, everyone wins wins, and probably should not call yourself pro-choice.
