(sign/voice)

21st Sunday in Ordinary Time (sign/voice 1, 2)

• New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill Signs Bill Banning Praying Outside Abortion Centers (LifeNews.com, 8/20/26) 
• • "You are either on the side of the angels or you are headed the wrong way" (Father Brendan Kilcoyne, 8/20/26) 
  • How can lay Catholics spur bishops into action? (Phil Lawler, 8/20/26) 

  • We get the Leaders We Deserve (Substack, 8/19/26)

• My Take on Sex Broke the Internet.

  Apparently, telling wives to have sex with their husbands once a week is controversial.

  (Katy Faust, 8/20/26)

• "SIGN: Urge Archbishop Henning to excommunicate Gov. Healey for legalizing abortion up until birth" (8/19/26)

• Fw: Take Action Against the Abortion Pill! (USCCB, 8/18/26)

• "Underlining the nature of CCP [Chinese Communist Party] persecution, are the accounts from the 1920s and 1930s of my mother’s cousin, Fr.Patrick Malone, who was born and is buried in the tiny Mayo village of Aughagower, at the foot of Croagh Patrick....the Vatican is wrong to have made a secret Pact with the CCP ...it should reassert what Pope Leo has described as 'the supreme value of human rights….universal and inalienable'" (Lord David Alton, 8/18/26)

As far as this blogger knows, there are no limitations on the faculties of James Martin, SJ, in Pa or Jersey. As Bishops Barres did with Edward Beck, CP, in Long Island, how wonderful it would be for Archbishop Perez & Bishop O'Connell (and certainly Cardinal Tobin and the other ordinaries) to remove those faculties!

What -IF ANYTHING - is being done to counter this?  Once per year visits to the State House are not cutting it.

Thus far, there is minimal indication that NJ's bishops understand the sanctity of human life or the sanctity of the transmission of human life.

SIGN: Urge Archbishop Henning to excommunicate Gov. Healey for legalizing abortion up until birth

CUA alumnus & gov of NY Kathy Hochul is among the legion of other Catholics who need to be publicly excommunicated for grave offenses against the sanctity of human life & the transmission of human life.

P.S. In addition to the abortion pill, some so-called contraceptives (already immoral) can act as abortifacients!

Subject: Fw: Take Action Against the Abortion Pill!

Take Action Against the Abortion Pill! From now through the end of October, the USCCB Committee on Pro-Life Activities is inviting Catholics to join a focused effort of prayer and action to STOP the spread of abortion pills. Please take action below to send a message to pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies that are involved. Take Action! Thank you for your prayers and actions to protect innocent children and their vulnerable mothers from the evil of abortion. St. Joseph, Defender of Life, pray for us! Please share this invitation with others! Learn more about the abortion pill, this nationwide invitation to prayer and how you can share the message with your parish by visiting respectlife.org/abortion-pills. Join Us in Prayer! A Prayer to St. Joseph, Defender of Life Dearest St. Joseph, at the word of an angel, you lovingly took Mary into your home.  As God’s humble servant, you guided the Holy Family on the road to Bethlehem, welcomed  Jesus as your own son in the shelter of a manger, and fled far from your homeland for the  safety of both Mother and Child. We praise God that as their faithful protector, you never hesitated to sacrifice for those entrusted to you. May your example inspire us also to  welcome, cherish, and safeguard God’s most precious gift of life. Help us to faithfully commit ourselves to the service and defense of human life — especially where it is vulnerable or threatened. Obtain for us the grace to do the will of God in all things. Amen.

• The Choices We Should Make (The Catholic Thing, 8/13/26)
  "Many Christian denominations have abandoned normative goods: take a look at the fractures, mostly over sex, in the American Protestant Mainline. There are also those in Catholicism who would like to accompany those neo-Protestant Pied Pipers. And contrary to charges that opposing those infidelities is importing 'pelvic theology' into a Christianity that has 'moved on' to 'more serious' matters, pelvic matters are hardly incidental inasmuch as no one would exist without them."
