DEACON FOR LIFE

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.

ALL Pro-life Today: Catholic Campaign Embraces Saul Alinsky Legacy

Wednesday, November 10, 2010

COMMENTARY

CATHOLIC CAMPAIGN EMBRACES SAUL ALINSKY LEGACY

Jesus taught us that whatever we do to our fellow human beings, we also do to Him. So it is only natural that, as we enter upon the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons, we want to express our thankfulness for all of our blessings by giving a bit extra. It is at this time that a second basket is passed around at Mass, asking for donations to the CCHD. Those unknowing may readily open their wallets-eager to help and try to make a difference by following Jesus' command about doing unto others. However, that money is not always going to organizations that adhere to Catholic teaching, and not everyone fully understands this. Today's commentary examines the CCHD and the programs it supports and warns of the dangers of contributing to organizations that do not uphold the standards of the Catholic faith.

The coalition which includes American Life League and Human Life International is awaiting the 2010 grantee list before making a statement on whether Catholics in the pews should donate to the bishops' cause.
