U.S. bishops' annual Natural Family Planning Awareness Week campaign begins

https://www.ewtnnews.com/world/us/u-s-bishops-natural-family-planning-awareness-week-campaign-begins

In neither the Philly Archdiocese nor the Trenton Diocese (walking distance to my home) have I seen/heard any mention of this - other than my own voice!  This is shameful and inexcusable.

17TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
(7/26/26 Sign/voice)

Good Saint Ann

The Truth about Marriage, Family, & Life

7/19/26, 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time

• Score One For Humanae Vitae (Catholic Stand, 7/19/26)

• Cardinal Sarah: Pope Leo’s Generosity towards the Traditional Latin Mass ‘Must Apply to All Bishops’ (7/16/26)

• Nigeria, Nicaragua, Syria, India Cited in Index of Rising Christian Persecution (National Catholic Register, 7/16/26)

• 

• Another scandal our bishops have failed to address (Catholic Culture, 7/16/26)

• California Catholics confront 'gay pride' Mass (MassResistance, 7/16/26)

• The Revenge of Amoris Laetitia (Catholic Culture, 7/15/26)

• SSPX Excommunication Fallout, Vatican Reopens Marriage Debate & Synodal Chaos (Papal Posse, 7/10/26)

• Sexual Ethics is a Social Justice Issue (FirstThings, 6/30/26)

As far as this blogger knows, there are no limitations on the faculties of James Martin, SJ, in Pa or Jersey. How wonderful it would be for Archbishop Perez & Bishop O'Connell (and certainly Cardinal Tobin and the other ordinaries) to mark so-called Pride Month by removing those faculties!

human life at its most vulnerable still needs the protection of Catholics & all of good will!

Eric, Jim, Rachel, Josue, & Daniel,

When hierarchy are weak about defending human life and marriage/family, none of us are excused from standing up for these most basic of human goods!

Subject: Tell Congress to Defund Abortion

On July 4, 2026, the one-year prohibition on federal funding to large abortion providers expired. As a result, federal taxpayer dollars can once again flow to organizations like Planned Parenthood because Congress did not make the policy permanent.   Congress needs to act now to reinstate this provision and protect your tax dollars. Now is the time to make your voice heard. Contact your U.S. Representative and Senators today and urge them to support legislation that permanently ends taxpayer funding for big abortion providers. Americans should not be forced to subsidize organizations whose primary business includes performing abortions. National Right to Life has made it easy to take action. Simply use the link below to send a pre-written email and/or call your Representative. We have provided both an email template and a phone script, so speaking up is as easy as pressing a button. Every message matters. Your voice can help encourage Congress to act to ensure that taxpayer dollars are no longer directed to big abortion providers.

Subject: Life at Conception Act, H.R. 722

Eric & Jim,

Will the Pa & NJ Catholic conferences be throwing their support around HR 722?  If not, why not?

Let us never forget the primacy of the sanctity of human life and authentic marriage - cornerstones of Catholic action.

I have taken the liberty of copying Bishop O'Connell & Archbishop Perez, as well as Josue Arrio & Daniel Drain.

Sincerely in Christ,

Joe Tevington

BREAKING: Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan just signed onto the National Life at Conception Act. This is an enormous development in our fight to protect unborn children. Congressman Jim Jordan, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has officially become a cosponsor of H.R. 722, the National Life at Conception Act. Because H.R. 722 is assigned to his committee, Chairman Jordan has tremendous influence over whether the bill receives a hearing and moves forward. The National Life at Conception Act is gaining momentum in Congress. Pro-life Americans have been contacting Congress, signing petitions and demanding that Republican leaders stop treating the protection of innocent life as something that can always wait. Chairman Jordan joining the bill shows that our voices are being heard. But this is not the moment to ease up. It is the moment to press harder. Cosponsoring the bill is a major step. Moving it forward must be the next one. Please add your name to our petition urging Chairman Jordan and the House Judiciary Committee to advance H.R. 722. The National Life at Conception Act addresses the question at the heart of every abortion debate: Who is the child? If an unborn child is a human being, then that child deserves the same protection under the law as every other human being. That truth does not change because an abortion is surgical or chemical, or because protecting the child is politically inconvenient. Every human life has value, and every unborn child deserves equal protection under the law. Sign the Petition to Advance H.R. 722 By becoming a cosponsor, Chairman Jordan has publicly declared his support for the principle behind H.R. 722. Now pro-life Americans must respectfully but firmly encourage him to use his position to help move it forward. Unborn children need more than encouraging words and growing cosponsor lists. They need Congress to advance legislation that recognizes their humanity and protects their lives. Support must lead to action. Please sign the petition urging Chairman Jordan and the House Judiciary Committee to advance the National Life at Conception Act. Add Your Name Today Chairman Jordan joining H.R. 722 gives us a genuine reason for hope, but it also creates an opportunity we cannot afford to waste. With enough pro-life Americans speaking together, we can turn this momentum into action. Thank you for standing with us in defense of innocent unborn children. For Life, Lydia Dorr Outreach Director Right to Life Pennsylvania P.S. Chairman Jim Jordan has officially become a cosponsor of H.R. 722. This is a major victory, but now we need to double down. Please sign the petition urging the House Judiciary Committee to advance the National Life at Conception Act.
