ALL Pro-Life Today: 'The Presence is Real'

Thursday, January 13, 2011 'THE PRESENCE IS REAL' VIDEO RELEASED From the moment of consecration, Christ is truly present in the Holy Eucharist. We do not see Him as we see other people, but He is there, body, blood, soul and divinity. Even though we cannot see Him, He is always with us in the Blessed Sacrament. From the moment of creation, a person is truly present. We can't see him or her as we see other people, but the whole person is there. Unique DNA can be detected, which will determine all of his or her physical and mental characteristics. There is a striking similarity between the number of Catholics who support abortion (40-47 percent) and those who do not believe in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist (43 percent). Thus, we must pray and fast for intellectual, spiritual, and psychological healing for baptized Catholics who have strayed from the truth.         Click to view American Life League's  The Presence is Real video now:   COMMENTARY Where Did I Come From? It's No Longer a Simple Question Dr. R. Albert Mohler Jr., president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, has written a challenging article that should provoke introspection among all those who are struggling against the culture of death. As my friend, Professor Dianne Irving, wrote in an e-mail, "How many people reading this excellent article clearly understand that the disastrous moral conundrum depicted here could have never developed over the decades without purposefully falsifying the human embryology of the early human embryo-the very starting point for any legitimate public policy making or laws/regulations, philosophical or theological evaluations, correct formation of conscience, etc.-and making it grossly politically incorrect to even dare to question the massive scientific fraud involved?"

HEADLINES National Day of Prayer and Penance U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops In February 2002, the Catholic Church established that throughout the United States, January 22nd would be observed as a day of prayer and penance for the offenses to human dignity caused by abortion [General Instruction of the Roman Missal, no 373]: "In all the dioceses of the United States of America, January 22 (or January 23, when January 22 falls on a Sunday) shall be observed as a particular day of penance for violations to the dignity of the human person committed through acts of abortion, and of prayer for the full restoration of the legal guarantee of the right to life. The Mass 'For Peace and Justice' (no. 22 of the 'Masses for Various Needs') should be celebrated with violet vestments as an appropriate liturgical observance for this day."   Vanderbilt alters application after abortion clause protest Tennessean Vanderbilt University Medical Center modified its nurse residency program application Wednesday in response to a Christian group's complaint that the hospital was asking pro-life applicants to agree to participate in abortions. Debianne Peterman, director of nursing education and professional development, e-mailed applicants to apologize for any confusion and to assure them that Vanderbilt employees can cite religious or moral grounds to opt out of participating in procedures that terminate pregnancies.   The Church, stem cells and our future Fox News For centuries, what many perceive as the "inherent conflict" between science and religion has provoked the minds and tested the faith of scholars, doctors, philosophers, religious leaders and casual observers alike. But it seems the two are finally coming together in the interest of saving lives. In their first-ever collaboration with an outside commercial venture, the Vatican's Pontifical Council for Culture has committed $1 million to work with NeoStem, a biopharmaceutical company for the advancement of scientific research in controversial area of medicine: stem cells. Well, adult stem cells that is.
