Reform the CCHD Now! Dear Friends in Christ, Please join me in signing the Reform CCHD Now (RCN) petition here (www.reformcchdnow.com). The language of the petition is very simple: "To ensure no more Catholic dollars are spent to support organizations advocating abortion or same-sex marriage, I respectfully request the bishops suspend all national CCHD grants until the grants process has been reformed." If you haven't been following the ongoing scandal with the Catholic Campaign for Human Development and would like to get caught up, check out the news page on the RCN site. It really shouldn't be too much to ask that money given by Catholics not go to those who oppose the Church, and who do so in the name of "social justice". True social justice recognizes the dignity of every human being from conception to natural death, and it values the the family enough to defend marriage as being between one man and one woman. To deny either of these basic truths is to oppose the Church. It really is that simple. We just have yet to see and evidence that those who decide which groups get CCHD funds truly understand this. Please forward this invitation to sign the RCN petition to your email list, and join me in praying for a timely and just resolution to this ongoing scandal. Sincerely, Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer, President, Human Life International |

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.
