Pope Confers the Golden Rose
Vatican
On the occasion of the Jubilee Year being observed in the Diocese of Jaen in honor of its patroness on the centenary of her coronation, Benedict XVI has conferred the Golden Rose to the "Virgen de la Cabeza" (literally, Virgin of the Head), the patron of the diocese. This is the first Marian image in Spain to receive the now uncommon honor. The Golden Rose is a papal decoration conferred on prominent Catholic personalities. The distinction was created by Pope Leo IX in 1049.
Dominican Nun Volunteers as Abortion Clinic Escort
USA
A Dominican nun has been seen frequenting at an abortion facility in Illinois recently - but not, as one might expect, to pray for an end to abortion or to counsel women seeking abortions, but to volunteer as a clinic escort. Local pro-life activists say that they recognized the escort at the ACU Health Center as Sr. Donna Quinn, a nun outspokenly in favor of legalized abortion. Sr. Donna Quinn is now a coordinator of the radically liberal National Coalition of American Nuns (NCAN), which stands in opposition against the Catholic Church's position on abortion, homosexuality, contraception, and the male priesthood.
Bodies of Aborted Kids Used in Anti-Wrinkle Creams
USA
The organization “Children of God for Life” announced yesterday that Neocutis, a bio-pharmaceutical company focused on dermatology and skin care is using aborted fetal cell lines to produce several of their anti-aging skin creams. "It is absolutely deplorable that Neocutis would resort to exploiting the remains of a deliberately slaughtered baby for nothing other than pure vanity and financial gain," stated executive director Debi Vinnedge. "There is simply no moral justification for this." For years Children of God for Life has been a watchdog on pharmaceutical companies using aborted fetal cell lines. Until now, this was the first time they have encountered any company bold enough to put the information right on their own website and product literature.
Pope Meets New Iran Ambassador
Vatican
Yesterday Pope Benedict XVI received in Audience Ali Akbar Naseri, new Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Holy See, the Pope said, trusts the Iranian authorities to strengthen and guarantee Christians the freedom of professing their faith and of assuring the Catholic community conditions essential to its existence, because Catholics have been present in Iran from the first centuries of Christianity and have always been an integral part of the nation's life and culture.
Nothing is more glorious
Vatican
Yesterday, Rorate Caeli Blogspot presented to its readership a beautiful quotation from the encyclical letter “Mystici Corporis” of Pope Pius XII. Here it is: “For nothing more glorious, nothing nobler, nothing surely more honorable can be imagined than to belong to the Holy, Catholic, Apostolic and Roman Church, in which we become members of One Body as venerable as it is unique; are guided by one supreme Head; are filled with one Divine Spirit; are nourished during our earthly exile by one doctrine and one Angelic Bread, until at last we enter into the one, unending blessedness of heaven”.
