People may not like what we have to say about the sancity of human life and marriage/family. BUT, "If God is for us, who can be against us?"

Brothers and sisters:
If God is for us, who can be against us?
He who did not spare his own Son
but handed him over for us all,
how will he not also give us everything else along with him?

Who will bring a charge against God’s chosen ones?
It is God who acquits us, who will condemn?
Christ Jesus it is who died or, rather, was raised—
who also is at the right hand of God,
who indeed intercedes for us. (Rom 8: 31b-34)
None of us - neither laity nor clergy - should fear sharing the light that the Church brings to the darkness of our time.  We should not be afraid to share alerts from the USCCB* and/or the Pa Catholic Conference from the pulpit, in parish bulletins, and on parish bulletin boards....

"The March for Marriage is set for Saturday, April 25th [at 10 a.m, near the Capital in DC] which is within days of when the Supreme Court is expected to hear oral argument on the cases before them that will decide the legal status of marriage.  This case could prove to be the Roe of marriage, or it could be a great win for us" (Brian Brown, National Organization for Marriage).
If the Archdiocese does not organize buses to the March (It has done so for the first two Marches.  Keep an eye on www.phillycatholiclife.org.), keep in mind that Amtrak can take you from Trenton to DC's Union Station in 2.5 hours (about $52, each way).

*In addition to "ALERTS CENTRAL" the USCCB notes that "Action alerts for pro-life issues can also be found through our partner organization, the National Committee for the Human Life Amendment" and "Action alerts for issues related to immigration reform can be found through the USCCB-led Catholic coalition, Justice for Immigrants."

 

On a state level, the Pa Catholic Conference facilitates requests for our leaders in Harrisburg, to.... 

  • Oppose HB 300 / SB 300 (As the Pa Catholic Conference explains, “In other states, this law has shuttered Catholic adoption agencies and trampled religious liberty….Simply put, this legislation is intolerant and prejudiced against people of faith.")
