Afghanistan, St Augustine & "Just War", Conscience exemptions to abortion tainted vaccines, human dignity under attack, Haiti, fetal cell research, so called "brain death", and more!

  • "The situation in Afghanistan is quickly deteriorating in a devastating way....We're witnessing the resurrection of ISIS. The Taliban's brutality to women and Christians has been well documented ....President Biden has allowed the Taliban to take over Afghanistan in a catastrophe of epic proportions....The ACLJ is mobilizing – including through our offices in the region – to defend Christians' lives in Afghanistan. Our legal team is already using our resources and contacts on Capitol Hill to try to help children who are stranded get out. We're submitting filings on this emergency for U.N. consideration and filing critical records demands of the Biden Administration (which will likely lead to a lawsuit) in just days.  Be a voice for the voiceless. Take action with us to help save U.S. citizens, children, and Christian lives in Afghanistan.  Sign NEW Petition: Save Christians, Kids, & Americans." (ACLJ, 8/27/21 email)
  • Memorial of St. Augustine of Hippo (8/28/29).  Based on Augustine, we have the "Just War" Theory:
  • "The rise in coronavirus vaccine mandates around the country, including at Catholic diocesan offices, hospitals and universities, has prompted a parallel increase in interest in a vaccine exemption template letter developed by the National Catholic Bioethics Center.... [In December 2020,] The Vatican’s doctrinal office said...'the licit use of such vaccines does not and should not in any way imply that there is a moral endorsement of the use of cell lines proceeding from aborted fetuses.'  The doctrinal office also said those who refuse for reasons of conscience 'must do their utmost to avoid, by other prophylactic means and appropriate behavior, becoming vehicles for the transmission of the infectious agent' to those who are the most vulnerable.... [A number of]  bishops and diocesan officials have urged priests to avoid giving religious exemptions to COVID-19 vaccines to parishioners.... [In addition to Chicago,] Similar instructions have been given to priests by Archbishop Paul D. Etienne of Seattle; Bishop Robert W. McElroy of San Diego; Father Michael F. Hennelly, vicar for clergy in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia; Msgr. Joseph LaMorte, vicar general in the Archdiocese of New York; the COVID-19 Task Force in the Diocese of Honolulu; and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles" (CatholicPhilly.com, 8/27/21)

  • If you want to stop fetal cell research, don't buy these products (HLI, 8/12/21)


  • Email Bishop O'Connell and Archbishop Perez to ask that James Martin, SJ, NOT be allowed to mislead & scatter their flocks.

"The PA Catholic Conference (PCC)... called on the University of Pittsburgh to stop all experiments with aborted babies & for Pennsylvania lawmakers to open a full investigation into the extent of this practice.  'We are horrified by reports that researchers at the school used scalps from aborted babies to create so-called ‘humanized mice’ for research,' said PCC Executive Director Eric Failing" (Pa Catholic Conference, 5/7/21)
