(Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship: A Call to Political Responsibility from the Catholic Bishops of the United States with Introductory Note, 11/17/15)
The Pennsylvania Catholic Conference's "alerts" include the following:
As per the USCCB, "Action
alerts for pro-life issues can also be found through our partner
organization, the National Committee for the Human Life Amendment." The NCHLA's "Current Action Alerts" include the following:
"Protect the Rights of Pro-Life Health Care Providers! (updated on 10/23/2015)" (As per an 11/20/15 email from the NCHLA, "The next two to three weeks are critical. We must
demand key conscience protections be included in the law Congress must
pass by December 11 to fund government programs for the 2016 Fiscal
Year. Urge Congress again to protect conscience rights. Click here now....Please go to the Human Life Action Center and contact Congress now to urge them to protect the rights of pro-life health care providers....The Abortion Non-Discrimination Act (ANDA) will close loopholes in
existing law and provide a private right of action, so that healthcare
providers, whose freedom of conscience is denied, can defend their
rights in court.")
(We
need our elected officials to absolutely oppose ANY monies going to Planned Parenthood. Email Representative
Fitzpatrick, Senator Casey, and Senator Toomey, asking for all federal
funding of Planned Parenthood to stop.
Email all of Bucks County's representatives and senators in Harrisburg, asking for all state funding of Planned Parenthood to stop.)
"....We are witnessing a
tragic, global crisis in religious persecution, violence, and terrorism,
with dire consequences for religious minorities and for the national
security of the United States....H.R. 1150 would...give
Ambassador Saperstein the status that other ambassadors at large at the
Department of State enjoy, the authority to develop an interagency
strategy to protect global religious freedom, and the resources he needs
to implement that strategy. It would also mandate training for all
foreign service officers, deputy chiefs of mission, and country
ambassadors...."
"Authentic
mercy is evangelical. It proceeds from the belief that God’s grace has
the power to transform us. Ironically, a pastoral strategy that
minimizes sin in the name of mercy cannot be merciful, because it is
dishonest" (Archbishop Chaput, First Things, December 2015).

"Proposed HHS regulation could require insurers to cover abortion, transgender surgery" (11/12/15)

"Why are we not protecting married couples from the violence of
contraception — the divorce of unitive and procreative aspects of the
beautiful gift of sexuality? Why are we afraid of helping our brothers
and sisters to live in truth, according to their dignity?" (Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, 11/6/15)
"the
marriage act purged of impurities is the nearest thing to the beatific
vision we can know....To offer the suffering of celibacy, temporary or
permanent, to the Lord is to make use, in the best possible way, of
man's greatest joy " (10/21/15)
"the Sexual
Revolution ushered in the scourge of abortion, pornography, and sexual
abuse so rampant in recent decades. Instead of real and authentic love,
this false 'liberty' offers cheap pleasures that mask a deeper
loneliness and pain. Instead of the security of traditional family
bonds, it leaves children longing for the stability of a mother’s and a
father’s love....Today’s attack on fatherhood, and by extension, motherhood, is
multi-pronged and breathtakingly damaging. 41% of children are born into
unmarried homes in our day, an increase of 700% from 1950"(Bishop Thomas Olmstead, 9/29/15).
re: "The Revision and Updating of the Charter for Healthcare Workers (5/6/15)"
"Who is going to save our Church? "Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and
religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes,
the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests
act like priests, your bishops, like bishops, and your religious act
like religious" (Archbishop Sheen, June 1972).
"all those who believe in the sanctity of life, regardless of whether they support or oppose the theoretical validity of brain-death criteria, [should] oppose the use of brain-death criteria to obtain organs for transplantation in clinical practice. We can then, as a single voice, support medical research seeking innovative, morally uncontentious ways to replace failing organs" (National Catholic Register, 10/25/21)
"It is everyone’s hope that rape victims, whether pregnant or not, receive the most compassionate and effective care available. Unfortunately, using Plan B and continuing to cite the faulty Peoria Protocol, based upon what we now know, is simply an immoral compromise—with the unintended consequence of the loss of human life and the abandonment of truly loving and courageous Christian health care" (Dr. Chris Kahlenborn, 4/8/19)
pharmacies
Certain other "contraceptives" can act as abortifacients! For example, it has long been known that other hormonal "contraceptives" can cause early abortions and are deadly dangerous (e.g., 1, 2) and just about every pharmacy (including those in supermarkets and department stores!) provides such. No parish should be allowing advertisements from providers of abortifacients! Please speak with your pastor, to ensure that your parish - be it in a bulletin or a directory - does not have such ads.
Especially with Central Jersey and the Philly suburbs so much being a worldwide capitol for the pharmaceutical industry,
