'Father, I have sinned against Heaven and against you.'"

• Who talked about "'Human Love in the Divine Plan,' or with greater precision, ‘the Redemption of the body and the Sacramentality of Marriage’"?

   

  • The Theology of the Body reminds us that the use of sexual functions by married couples, in manners which cannot be open to life, involves lying with the body.  Use of contraceptives in marriage makes us liars and false prophets.  We need our clergy to stand with us!  Dear Pastors: If you don't know pharmacies sell abortifacients and contraceptives, you're not getting out too much! (Email pastors in Bucks with ads for an acknowledged abortifacient provider)"

• 2/18/16 Candidates for Congress Update and How to Do a Write-In Vote

• "This [past] week the United States Supreme Court held oral arguments on what many consider the most important abortion case of this century. The case involves a law in the state of Texas that requires abortion clinics in the state to follow the same regulations as ambulatory surgical centers. It also requires abortionists to have admitting privileges at a local hospital.... Justice Kennedy as usual is a question mark. If Kennedy votes against the law and the final vote is 4-4, then the Texas law would be left in force since the lower appeals court had upheld it.... The final decision of the court is not expected until June....
