"Take no part in the fruitless works of darkness; rather expose them" (Ephesians 5:11)




(Click above image for video, re: abortion, murder, and vaccines.)
  • Dignitas Personae proclaimed the sanctity of human life and how each and every child has the right to be born into the loving embrace of her/his mom and dad, who are married to each other.  When that does not happen, adoption and fostering allow us to work with God to correct what is an injustice for the child.  A 10/30/2020 mailing on marriage from the USCCB included beautiful words about adopting and fostering: 

"November marks National Adoption Month, the perfect follow-up to October, which was Respect Life Month. Salvation history is replete with instances of adoption and fostering, from Moses to Samuel to Jesus himself, and of course culminating in the adoption of each of us as sons and daughters of God the Father!....

"on November 4th, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral argument in Fulton v. City of Philadelphia, where Catholic Social Services is trying to survive a mandate to work with same-sex couples. The USCCB filed an amicus curiae brief with the court in June."
While undoubtedly well intentioned, the recent comments on civil unions from the Holy Father and the Archdiocese (cf, National Catholic Register, 10/21/202010/22/2020) are tantamount to assaults on children's rights - to say nothing of an assault on the rights of those experiencing same sex attractions to hear the truth.

With the election this week and the Supreme Court starting to hear Fulton, we especially need Archbishop Perez and his auxilaries, priests, and deacons to courageously preach God's truth about human life and marriage/family.  
    • As authored by Francis' immediate predecessor and approved by St Pope John Paul II in 2003: "The Church teaches that respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behaviour or to legal recognition of homosexual unions. The common good requires that laws recognize, promote and protect marriage as the basis of the family, the primary unit of society. Legal recognition of homosexual unions or placing them on the same level as marriage would mean not only the approval of deviant behaviour, with the consequence of making it a model in present-day society, but would also obscure basic values which belong to the common inheritance of humanity. The Church cannot fail to defend these values, for the good of men and women and for the good of society itself.
