Really Excellent. This is a video for sharing the pro-life message. There's a section around 3/4 in that is a Christian (not Catholic) message, a decent effort. Around 49 minutes there is a very powerful segment on a woman receiving an ultrasound. Overall, I'd say very well done and worth sharing for the benefit of defending life to those with a pro-abortion mentality. We need more efforts like this.

Jonathan Darnell, Jean Marshall and Joan Bell, facing possibly 11 years in jail and taken to jail immediately awaiting sentencing. These are every-day people, with every-day lives and responsibilities, not super-heroes. Please pray for them.

Superhero is a relative term nowadays. Given what passes for a hero nowadays, these 'every-day people' go 'above and beyond' and thus the adjective 'super' is warranted. May God bless them and keep them strong.

Joan Bell has worked relentlessly to defend the unborn over several decades. Currently she is facing a decade in jail (a real possibility). The Biden administration, very much including VP Kamila Harris, is using every means at his disposal - and a few more not at his disposal - to cause them the greatest suffering possible. I don't think there is any doubt they will be going to jail. Who, in this hostile "post Roe" environment, will even attempt to get them out? Please pray for them to endure what is ahead.

A caller to The Patrick Madrid Show radio program today asked whether God knew children who would not be conceived because a couple was contracepting. Through artificial contraception, are they blocking the existence of a person God would want in the world? Is someone who is never conceived- a potential person, without a body and a soul, never really created- known by God? Patrick explained middle knowledge (Scientia media) – can God know something that is only theoretical, a possibility, it doesn’t really exist, it doesn’t actually happen? The Molinists on the Jesuit side said yes, God can know in a “middle knowledge way” and the Thomists on the Dominican side said no. They argued endlessly and both had good arguments. It has never been a definitive resolution. Anything that can be known, God knows. If God knows some people would have come into existence if their parents weren’t using contraception, then God knows that. In a theoretical sense we can say that these people who would …More

"Is someone who is never conceived- a potential person, without a body and a soul, never really created- known by God?" This question presumes a conclusion never reached by the Church: that the soul comes into existence (i.e., is essentially "created") at conception. Mankind does not have the power to thwart God's creation, but only to choose to not participate in conception. A vow of virginity (with one notable and blessed exception) has the same effect.

It is quite clear from the scriptures that St. John the Baptist would not have been the easiest person to have been around based upon his lifestyle and his unfettered, and very vocal, passion, however, I would take him over any of whom we are currently 'leading' the Church from the Vatican.

Is anyone here familiar with The Patrick Madrid Show on Relevant Radio? He has an excellent program broadcast three hours a day, M-F. This morning a woman called in and asked if it was a sin to bury St. Joseph upside-down in your yard in order to sell your house. His response started with, "I believe you meant bury a STATUE of St. Joseph...."

I like using Fr. Tom Forrest C.Ss.R.'s definition of forgiveness: "If I had to do it over, I wouldn't do it." It's perfect. God, outside of time, receives these words when they come from a sincere heart. It has occurred to me, some want to push, push, push people to use these words too... Like Planned Parenthood STILL attacking David Daleiden of the Center for Medical Progress who produced sting videos released in 2015 exposing their selling baby body parts. But what he has done was NOT wrong. It was RIGHT. He doesn't need forgiveness for what he has done. He needs, and is receiving, boldness, courage, perseverance... Let's not forget to pray for him and pray for his legal representatives. He's still, after all these years, in a fierce battle. Pray that he fights any temptation to say, "If I had it to do again..."

Fr. Paul Scalia - The Impious Public Square Our culture celebrates impiety as liberation from outdated ideas or constraints. Our celebrities traffic in it for laughs and to burnish their “woke” credentials. The more dismissive of the past, the more woke you are. In fact, all that impiety does is leave us vulnerable to whatever ideological virus is in the air. The impious are fickle – rootless, unprincipled, chasing after novelties. Having nothing stable, they have nothing to give the descendants they will not have. They are history’s orphans: no patrimony to receive or to bestow.
