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.

Chastity in Today’s Culture War

Today’s unbridled focus on sexual matters without respect for decency is tantamount to erotic propaganda on steroids. While some professional groups tell us more sexual indoctrination is what our kids are looking for, others disagree.

Read or listen to the news and you’re sure to hear about COVID-19 vaccines and the hype to get everyone vaccinated. This week, the FDA said “there are currently no FDA-licensed vaccines to prevent COVID-19 . . . only vaccine candidates.”

Tik Tok is best known for short video clips of lip syncing, trendy dancing, and odd humor. It can be used for sharing joy as well. New mothers, Smartphone in hand, are using the app to record pregnancy announcements, and not just to their husbands and family.

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.”
