Scrubbing the Cancel Culture

As this is the final installment in our series, we must reiterate what the cancel culture is in order to reverse all the negative effects it has had on our families, our faith, and our way of life. And we must reflect on the fact that, at its core, cancel culture is another term for arrogance.

                                        Week in Review
                                    

Today we report on two diverse happenings. The first is a victory in Congress that will go a long way in keeping America a freedom-loving republic. The second is a warning to all parents about a new book aimed at children under the age of 13.

The Washington Post’s feminist offshoot, “The Lily,” contacted American Life League with a request for an interview. Judie Brown was interviewed for an article on President Biden and the USCCB. The Washington Free Beacon contacted ALL for a comment on the same subject.

The more the media write about Catholicism, the clearer it becomes that the media know nothing about it. Sensible Catholics see an urgent need to protect the faithful from scandal and the Eucharist from sacrilege. Anti-Catholic media see a battle of bishops versus Biden.

                                        Video of the Week
                                    

All of the media hype surrounding the US bishops’ decision to formulate a document on the meaning of the Eucharist can seem overwhelming. Are any bishops enforcing Canon 915? In fact, there are, as we illustrated in our “Presence is Real” video.

The threats to our children in schools continue to grow. Professional organizations are intent on forcing our children into gender identity nightmares. We bring you information on a conference on how to fight back . . .

LIFE IS SACRED

An example of the traditional magisterial teaching which indicates that it is never morally licit to intentionally kill a child through abortion in order to “save the life of its mother” comes from the teaching of Pope Pius XII:

“Every human being, even the infant in the mother's womb, has the right to life immediately from God, not from the parent or any human society or authority. Therefore, there is no man, no human authority, no science, no medical, eugenic, social, economic or moral ‘indication’ that can show or give valid juridical title for direct deliberate disposition concerning an innocent human life-which is to say, a disposition that aims at its destruction either as an end in itself or as the means of attaining another end that is perhaps in no way illicit itself. Thus, for example, to save the life of the mother is a most noble end, but the direct killing of the child as a means to this end is not licit.”
