2/23/23 update
- As per a 2/23/23 email from Human Life International: "Did you know that birth control can cause abortions? Most people don't know this. After all, doesn't the Pill stop conception from occurring? Not always. The Pill can stop conception by suppressing ovulation. It also thickens cervical mucus to trap sperm. However, the third way the Pill works is by causing a "silent" abortion. Find out more in our newest animated video!"

St. Peter Damian; 1st Sunday of Lent

"If you read his biography, you see that St. Peter Damian was a great reformer of the 11th-century Church and its clergy. But if you wonder why we rarely hear about him, perhaps it’s because he strikes a nerve that bothers contemporaries. St. Peter Damian’s great book was the Liber Gomorrhianus, in which he excoriated sexual sins, especially homosexual activity, among the clergy....St. Peter Damian is not particularly comfortable for today’s moderns, especially those intent on overthrowing Catholic sexual ethics. Even his book’s title is uncomfortable to those who want to rewrite Scripture to deny Sodom had anything to do with sodomy....
"while the Church is often grateful for the work of her reformers (usually somewhat after the fact), her leaders often don’t like people exposing the skeletons in the closet....
"Attacking clerical sexual abuse and graft, defending the papacy against local churches, defending the Pope’s prerogative to name bishops free of state interference, defending marriage … St. Peter Damian sounds like a rather modern saint, relevant to our times, even if his criticisms hit close to home today. Some might despair that the Church at the beginning of the third millennium looks a lot like it did at the beginning of the second. But she still exists"

"all those who believe in the sanctity of life, regardless of whether they support or oppose the theoretical validity of brain-death criteria, [should] oppose the use of brain-death criteria to obtain organs for transplantation in clinical practice. We can then, as a single voice, support medical research seeking innovative, morally uncontentious ways to replace failing organs" (National Catholic Register, 10/25/21)
Abortion Facts
Human Life International
pharmacies
Certain other "contraceptives" can act as abortifacients! For example, it has long been known that other hormonal "contraceptives" can cause early abortions and are deadly dangerous (e.g., 1, 2) and just about every pharmacy (including those in supermarkets and department stores!) provides such. No parish should be allowing advertisements from providers of abortifacients! 
Please speak with your pastor, to ensure that your parish - be it in a bulletin or a directory - does not have such ads.
