Direct abortion, that is, one that is willed as an end in itself, is always gravely immoral. However, it is morally licit for pregnant mothers to submit to treatment for medical conditions that may have the unintended effect of terminating the pregnancy, as long as that termination isn’t what’s directly intended by the treatment. For example, mothers may receive chemo and/or radiation for the treatment of cancer.

Yes, I saw that also.

I’m pretty sure worked there in Chicago, a while back.

Any time you debate with people who claim to be Catholic Obama supporters, point them to this before engaging them:

If they can still support Obama after watching it, they may have no soul.

  1. Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver was the first American bishop to respond

  3. Archbishop Donald Wuerl of Washington DC responded twice, first in a press release and second in a statement to The Hill. He has also appeared on Fox News, I am told.
  4. Cardinal Justin Regali of Philadelphia, chairman of the Committee on Pro-Life Activities, issued this statement through the USCCB website...
  5. ... Bishop William Lori of Bridgeport, chairman of the Committee on Doctrine, joined him
  6. Cardinal Edward Egan of New York publised a strongly worded statement of his own

  8. Bishop David Zubik of Pittsburgh and...

  24. Archbishop George Niederauer of San Francisco has invited Pelosi to a "conversation"
  25. Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio of Brooklyn: "Judging the Candidates"

{Last updated on September 10th.}

Notes:

  • Previous #23 has been removed. Bishop Joseph Gossman of Raleigh, NC is actually the bishop emeritus, and the new bishop, Michael Burbidge has not, to my knowledge, made a personal statement.
  • Previous #16 has also been removed, it was an erroneous duplication of current #13.
  • #26 was added September 10th, although he published his column September 6th

If they don't change their ways they face more than criticism. Try telling God those 50 million kids mattered less than some gubmint gimme program.

I am a Catholic and I’m currently attending The Adventures in Acts Bible study by Jeff Cavins.

The Book of Acts is a really great. What I am getting out of this study is that we will be called upon to stand up to people who are against God and His Church. When we stand up for justice and for God, He will give us the words to say through the Holy Spirit to speak with boldness, and those who challenge God will not be able to come up with any words to defeat Him.

He must increase and we must decrease.

With regards to Joe the Plumber, I don’t know what he religious affiliation is, but throughout history, God always uses ordinary individuals to do extraordinaty things for His Glory.
