The Epiphany

The Epiphany (1/3)
(Click image for Mass readings)
"Except for Easter and Pentecost, the Solemnity of the Epiphany is the oldest of all Christian festivals....The Jan. 6 feast of the Epiphany in the Roman church also acknowledges the baptism and the wedding at Cana: 'Three mysteries mark this holy day: today the star leads the magi to the infant Christ; today water is changed into wine for the wedding feast; today Christ wills to be baptized by John in the river Jordan to bring us salvation' (Liturgy of the Hours, Evening Prayer II, Epiphany)"

  • "To uphold the claim that our hospitals will endure through SARS CoV-2 is not equivalent to saying that the virus is not a real thing. Of course the virus is real. The more substantive matter is what we are actually doing to help those who really need to be protected as best as reasonably possible without destroying the rest of society... The mainstream media, with few exceptions, wants the appearance of overrun hospitals to be the case" (Catholic World Report, 12/28/2020

The act is the most assertive form of discrimination — destroying our religious freedoms, freedom of conscience and freedom of speech!....

The eve of the Feast of the Holy Innocents and ABORTIFACIENTS are allowed in Catholic Hospitals!

As per the Vatican's New Charter for Health Care Workers (2017), “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."  Each and every human being has the right to originate in the loving embrace of her mom and dad, who are married to each other.  Yet no matter how a new human came to be, she is owed uncompromising respect and protection from the very first moment.  It should go without saying that Catholic hospital staff be firmly committed to life.  Abortion and contraceptives must be absolutely rejected, and OBGYN must be practiced in an "NFP ONLY" manner.   

On this eve of the Feast of the Holy Innocents, there is solid evidence that Catholic hospitals in the Philadelphia Archdiocese are not prepared to properly treat today's Holy Innocents.  They are unprepared to consistently provide authentic Catholic OBGYN care.  

As an NFP- ONLY directory  lists merely 13 OBGYN professionals in the four counties of the Philadelphia Archdiocese, how on earth does Holy Redeemer list 24 OBGYNs in our area and Trinity Health about 47?  

Holy Redeemer also lists 6 specialists in "reproductive endocrinology", each of whom is associated with Abington Reproductive Medicine, which in turn offers a smorgasbord of PROHIBITED services.
 
Dr Chris Kahlenborn reminds us that abortifacients are sometimes allowed in Catholic hospitals! (Plan B: Current Controversies, 2018).   
And as it has long been known that other hormonal "contraceptives" can also cause early abortions and are deadly dangerous (e.g., 12) and just about every pharmacy (including those in supermarkets and department stores) provide such, no parish should be allowing advertisements from providers of hormonal contraception.
