In the Vatican's New Charter for Health Care Workers (2017), it is affirmed that “The inseparable bond between conjugal love and human generation, imprinted on the nature of the human person, is a law by which everyone must be guided and to which everyone is held." As of 11/13/18 within the boundaries of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia (i.e., Pennsylvania's Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Philadelphia, and Montgomery Counties), there are tragically only nine physicians (i.e., Joseph Harryhill, George Isajiw, Gregory Lubiniecki, Alfred Mauriello, Monique Ruberu, Lester Ruppersberger, Pedro Solanet, Eleanor Tiongson, and William Williams) to be found in an NFP- only directory - only two of whom are OBGYN doctors (i.e., Ruberu and Ruppersberger). How is that possible, and why do so few seem to care???
As of 11/4/18,
- Holy Redeemer lists 24 OBGYNs (as well as 6 gynecologists), yet only one is named Ruberu or Ruppersberger.
- Holy Redeemer lists 7 physician specialists in "reproductive endocrinology", each of whom is associated with either Abington Reproductive Medicine or Reproductive Medicine Associates of Philadelphia, both of which provide offerings from a smorgasbord of prohibited services.
- Mercy Health of SE Pa (includes Mercy Fitzgerald, Mercy Philadelphia, and Nazareth) lists 5 gynecologists, none of whom is named Ruberu or Ruppersberger.
- St Mary Medical Center list 45 OBGYNs, none of whom is named Ruberu or Ruppersberger.
- St Mary Medical Center lists 8 physician specialists in "reproductive endocrinology", each of whom is associated with either Abington Reproductive Medicine or Reproductive Medicine Associates of Philadelphia, both of which provide offerings from a smorgasbord of prohibited services.
- St Mary Medical Center list 3 physician specialists in "maternal fetal medicine." Drs Richard Latta and Stephen Smith are also associated with Abington Perinatal Associates, which is part of Jefferson:"The outcome of most high-risk pregnancies today can be improved significantly with skilled intervention.Perinatologists (specialists in high-risk pregnancy) of Jefferson's Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine in Philadelphia can help you manage or reduce possible complications [Does this include embryo reduction (i.e., abortion)?] if you are considered a high-risk pregnancy"
Judging by their own physician directories, it does not appear that Catholic hospitals within the Philadelphia Archdiocese are prepared to consistently provide authentic obstetric and gynecological care. In "Plan B: Current Controversies" (2018), Dr. Chris Kahlenborn explains that abortifacients are even allowed use in Catholic hospitals!
We need our bishops to speak boldly for the cause of life. From the home page, please
email and urge Archbishop Christophe Pierre (Apostolic Nuncio to the United States), USCCB president Cardinal DiNardo, Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop Chaput (and his auxiliaries), and NCBC's ethicists to IMMEDIATELY disallow so-called emergency contraception in Catholic hospitals. And as it has long been known that other hormonal "contraceptives" can also cause early abortions and are deadly dangerous (e.g., 1, 2) and just about every pharmacy (including those in supermarkets and department stores) provide such, no parish should be allowing advertisements from providers of hormonal "contraceptives"! Please speak with your pastor, to ensure that your parish - be it in a bulletin or a directory - does not have such ads.
