Christians arrested for the second time protesting human rights abuses in China

from Operation Rescue
Rev. Pat Mahoney, Brandi Swindell, and Michael McMonagle were arrested and forcibly dragged away as they knelt in prayer outside the Mao Tse Tung Mausoleum. The group was in Bejing speaking out against China's forced abortion policies, religious persecution, and other human rights abuses.
Plain clothed policemen were filmed dragging Rev. Mahoney and Ms. Swindell by the arms as other men, presumed to be additional plain clothed officers, attempted to shield the arrest from cameras with large umbrellas.
The three Christian activists were detained and released earlier in the week as they stood in Tiananmen Square with a banner that read in English and Chinese, "Jesus Christ is King."
It is unknown if or when the group will be released after Thursday's arrest.
In the wake of the arrests, President Bush today issued his harshest statements against human rights abuses committed by the Chinese government.
"We stand in support of Rev. Mahoney and the other two brave Christians who have been arrested again for speaking out on behalf of the oppressed. The human heart yearns for freedom and truth. The truth of the Gospel and the sanctity of life cannot be silenced forever. As the eyes of the world focus on Beijing for the Olympics, we pray that those truths will be emblazoned in the hearts of all who hear of this courageous and prophetic witness," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "We pray for their immediate release and safe return to freedom."

To Anglicans: What are you waiting for?

Time to come home to Rome, where the truth is preserved about the sacrament of marriage.

Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams has delivered the final blow to any semblance of moral teaching in his church; he said that homosexual acts are not only acceptable, but means of the grace of God.
As he said, "it all began with the Lambeth Conference of 1930" when the Anglican Church was the FIRST church to accept birth control. Once you divorce marriage from procreation, all sorts of perversions of God's will for marriage will inevitably follow.
He says: “I concluded that an active sexual relationship between two people of the same sex might therefore reflect the love of God in a way comparable to marriage, if and only if it had about it the same character of absolute covenanted faithfulness.” Although written before he became Archbishop of Canterbury in 2002, Dr Williams describes his view in the letters as his “definitive conclusion” reached after 20 years of study and prayer. He refers to it as his “conviction”.

A Pro-life HeroKline Loses his Re-election Bid

from Citizen Link
Phill Kline, district attorney for Johnson County, Kan., will leave office at the end of the year after losing the primary election Tuesday. Steve Howe, a former assistant district attorney, took 60 percent of the vote.
"Some causes are worth losing, and there is no defeat in doing the right thing," Kline told Family News in Focus. "We'll continue to try to do the right thing and hope that eyes will be opened here."
Kline has filed 107 charges against Planned Parenthood's Kansas City clinic over allegations of falsified reports and illegal late-term abortions. He said he plans to bring the case to trial, even though judges are not allowing the case to proceed.
"Their whole aim is to delay it until I am out of office," he said. "I will vigorously work to continue to ford that case."
FOR MORE INFORMATIONPhill Kline talks about the fight of his life in a three-part video interview with Turn Signal.
I wonder how much Phil Kline's defeat cost George Tiller, the Baby Killer?
Is there NO justice in Kansas?

The Real Obama: Killing "Choose Life" license plates in Illinois

Jill Stanek is finding example after example of Obama's extremism on abortion. Since he is allegedly vetting pro-life running mates to keep the Catholic voters on board, I will continue to publish the truth: his extremely pro-death voting record.
Here's a story from World Net Daily about how then State Rep Obama kept the press away while he killed the state's "Choose Life" license plates, despite the best efforts of a family who had suffered greatly to bring them for a vote.
"Obama knew exactly what he was doing. He knew Chicago reporters would not spend the night, nor would the crowd. He didn't want cameras around to sympathize with the Willises and badger him about the demise of Choose Life at his hand.
He was right. Not many were present on March 13, 2003, when Obama and the Democrat-controlled committee voted to kill Choose Life.
Obama's fanatical support of abortion extends not only to opposing legislation to save abortion survivors but also to opposing legislation to help mothers and families in need cover adoption expenses.
And Obama will roll over anyone standing in the way."
The Illinois "Choose Life" plate is still in judicial limbo, click here to check it's status.

Bush demands human rights abuses end in China

from the Catholic League

BUSH TO CHINA-GRANT RELIGIOUS LIBERTY;
McCAIN AND OBAMA DUCK THE ISSUE

Before leaving for Beijing tomorrow, President George W. Bush will give a speech in Bangkok, Thailand that cites the lack of religious liberties, as well as other human rights, that exist in China.

In his speech, Bush will say that "America stands in firm opposition to China's detention of political dissidents, human rights advocates and religious activists." Moreover, Bush will say that "I have spoken clearly, candidly and consistently with China’s leaders about our deep concerns over religious freedom and human rights."

Catholic League president Bill Donohue applauds what President Bush is doing and draws a contrast with what Sen. McCain and Sen. Obama have said about this matter:

"This is good news. In addition to President Bush's statement on religious freedom that he is expected to give following a Beijing church service, the president is now going to call attention to China's human rights deficit shortly before he arrives for the Olympic games. And Bush well knows that the first liberty is religious liberty, without which all freedoms are meaningless. His comments on this subject come on the heels of a plea by Pope Benedict XVI to Chinese leaders 'to open [China] to the Gospel."

"By contrast, Sen. McCain and Sen. Obama look weak. For example, McCain recently implored the president not to be 'confrontational' with Chinese officials about the issue of human rights. Should he be obsequious? Obama has spoken out about the rights of Tibetans (as has McCain) but has been singularly silent about the religious rights of the Chinese people. Will he now say something?

"Bush has shown the way. The ball is now in the court of the presidential candidates."

Modest dress becoming an issue at last!

As the mother of three girls, we have always been concerned with modesty, it comes up every time we go shopping. Now that we are in skin season, where body parts I don't want to see are in front of my eyes on a daily basis (and that's at Mass!) it has become even more of an issue. I once was praying after Communion on my knees at a teen Mass, and was shocked to find myself , when I opened my eyes, looking down a young woman's jeans! She had NO underwear on, even though her mother was at her side. I was speechless!
Here's the Holy Father's view of the issue, which as Catholics, means it's the final word:
"Speaking to youth in Australia on July 18, Pope Benedict XVI mentioned modesty as he told of how becoming fully human means rejecting those voices that lead us into worshipping 'false gods.'
"People sometimes treat others as objects to satisfy their own needs rather than as persons to be loved and cherished. How easy it is to be deceived by the many voices in our society that advocate a permissive approach to sexuality, without regard for modesty, self-respect or the moral values that bring quality to human relationships! This is worship of a false god. Instead of bringing life, it brings death."
The article goes on to introduce Pure Fashion a movement of Regnum Christi to support young women's modest, yet fasionable clothing choices. You don't have to be frumpy to be modest!
Guidelines I recently read at a Franciscan Friary are: four fingers below the breastbone for blouses, and nothing sleeveless, nothing above the knee (skirts or shorts) and nothing skin-tight or see-through. These are reasonable and doable. I was at Mass today and most of the immodest clothing was worn by Senior Citizens who should know better!
Some additional resources on modesty:
Some homeschooled teens on a popular blog called Rebelution, conducted an extensive survey on young men's thoughts on the issue called, The Modesty Survey.
I mention author Colleen Hammond's book "Dressing with Dignity" in this post.

Robert Novak retires with malignant brain tumor

"Novak is a devout Catholic Christian who openly shares about his conversion to Catholicism and subsequent Baptism (along with his wife)at St Patrick’s Cathedral in 1998. Along with that story he details his full and fascinating life as a journalist and commentator in his must read book entitled “The Prince of Darkness: 50 Years Reporting in Washington.”
Never one to shy away from controversy, Novak has also been a strong defender of the unborn and a courageous advocate for the right to life. He is known mostly for his syndicated columns, written for the Chicago Sun-Times and his long time presence on TV’s “Crossfire”.
He has the courage to 'tell it like is it' and makes me proud to be a Catholic journalist.

Sign the petition to defund Planned Parenthood

From American Life League
Your signatures make a difference!
American Life League has spent much of this year meeting with members of Congress and their staffs to educate them on Planned Parenthood and to ask for the cessation of government funding. As part of our educational package, we gave each member with whom we met a list of the petition signers in his or her state. Your signatures were very effective in illustrating the grassroots support for such an initiative. Thank you for signing!
More signatures needed
So far, 30,000 people have signed the petition! While this is a great number, we are asking for your help to increase the number of signers. If you know of anyone who would like to sign the petition, please direct them to www.stopplannedparenthoodtaxfunding.com. If each person who has already signed could get just two more people to sign, we would be close to 100,000 signatures, and that would help us immensely in getting Congress to take notice.
August action item
You have signed the petition, but you may want to do more. Congressional schedules are always changing, but there may be a vote on Planned Parenthood funding in September. In August, members of Congress are in summer recess, and many are spending time back home in their districts. Please consider visiting, calling or writing your senators and representatives! Planned Parenthood relies on the public's apathy, and members of Congress respond to public outcry. When trying to gain legislators' attention, the more upset constituents they hear from, the more likely they are to act. If you need any information to include in your letters, please visit www.all.or g/stopp/ or contact ALL's senior congressional liaison, Johanna Dasteel, at jdasteel@all.org.

Planned Parenthood no longer receives Title X money in Nebraska
In addition to educating members of Congress, we also are working to get individual states to stop funding Planned Parenthood. We recently received a letter from the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services stating, "As of April 1, 2008, Planned Parenthood of Nebraska and Council Bluffs ceased its relationship as a Nebraska Title X affiliate of Nebraska Health and Human Services. At that time distribution of Title X funds stopped and a complete close out of any previous Title X Relationship has since occurred." Praise God!
Members of Congress use special orders to call for defunding of Planned Parenthood
Recently, Representative Christopher Smith of New Jersey and other pro-life House members took to the floor of the House of Representatives, in a session called special orders, and publicly called for the end of taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood. You can view clips from this session here. This public outcry against Planned Parenthood at the highest levels of our government means that the message is getting through.
In this election year, we urge you to bring up the taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood every time you speak to a political candidate. It makes no difference what party the politician is from or for what office he or she is a candidate. Every candidate needs to hear that the people of the United States do not want taxpayer funding for Planned Parenthood. If they hear it often now, they will remember it when they get in office.
The effort to defund Planned Parenthood is gaining momentum. Now is the time to increase our activities.

New Website to Serve As Clearinghouse for Post-Abortion Information

from the Elliot Institute
Springfield, IL (Aug. 4, 2008) – If you're seeking information about post-abortion issues, or if you have information to share about your own post-abortion experience, your ministry, or your opinions, you need to check out the latest collaborative clearinghouse on abortion information, www.AbortionRisks.org.

AbortionRisks.org is a Web 2.0 site designed to allow anyone in the world to find or contribute information related to post-abortion issues. Using the same software platform that underlies popular websites like Wikipedia, AbortionRisks.org allows registered users to add their own information and pages to the site, as well as to edit information that is already there.

The site includes sections for:
post-abortion ministries to add information about their work and their materials, links and notices about upcoming events;
women and men who have been involved in an abortion to post their stories;
users to add original articles, commentary, or information about new research;
users to add information and links to other resources related to post-abortion healing research and healing; and
users to simply discuss or comment on the articles and information posted on the website.
AbortionRisks.org is also the home of the Thomas W. Strahan Memorial Library, the most extensive bibliography of published studies, books, and articles on the aftereffects of abortion, along with commentary highlighting the most important points in each citation.

Tom Strahan was a lawyer and civil rights activist who was probably the world's leading expert on published studies on abortion. His bibliography was published in the form of a book, Detrimental Effects of Abortion, which is now a featured section of AbortionRisks.org and is available for reference by visitors and for updating by the contributing editors of the new website.

Volunteer editors are also needed to (1) help improve site organization and (2) monitor the site for vandalism. The wiki structure makes it easy to protect pages, reverse vandalism, and to block vandals, but volunteers are needed to help with this.

If you are interested in being a volunteer for site maintenance, or wish to contribute any material, just create a registered account at AbortionRisks.org.

AbortionRisks.org is a service provided the Elliot Institute, a leader in research and education regarding post-abortion issues.

Cohabitation beforehand hurts marriage

I did this study back in grad school; all studies since the mid 80's to today have consistently shown the same thing: living together before marriage greatly lowers the chances that a marriage will last.
" Living together before marriage has skyrocketed since the 1960s, when Western cultures began to cast off traditional sexual mores; but the same period has seen a correlating upsurge of divorce.
The evidence has prompted a number of studies that have indicated that by trying to avoid divorce by cohabitation, unwed couples seriously compromise their marital success. A 2006 report published in the journal Demography indicated one-half of all cohabiting unions collapse within a year and 90 percent within five years.
"The common view of cohabitation as a steppingstone to marriage needs to be seriously questioned," commented Daniel Lichter a professor of policy analysis at Cornell University and the study's lead researcher."
So much for the idea of trying on a shoe before you buy it. We should have known that human beings have far too much dignity for that cheap analogy. God thinks far too much of us to allow us to cheapen ourselves that way. Too bad the majority of Americans don't; they believe the lies from the culture, and as Christopher West says, continue eating out of the dumpster of eros (extra-matial sex) instead of feasting on the banquet Our Lord has prepared in the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony.

John Allen's Op-Ed on Humanae Vitae in the NYTimes

The encyclical which was so widely opposed is now more relevant than ever. Who knew?
The Holy Spirit did, when he inspired Pope Paul VI, that's who!
"So the future of “Humanae Vitae” as the teaching of the Catholic Church seems secure, even if it will also continue to be the most widely flouted injunction of the church at the level of practice.
The encyclical’s surprising resilience is a reminder that forecasting the Catholic future in moments of crisis is always a dangerous enterprise — a point with relevance to a more recent Catholic predicament. Many critics believe that the church has not yet responded adequately to the recent sex-abuse scandals, leading to predictions that the church will “have to” become more accountable, more participatory and more democratic.
While those steps may appear inevitable today, it seemed unthinkable to many observers 40 years ago that “Humanae Vitae” would still be in vigor well into the 21st century. "

No justice at Univ of Minnesota for Eucharist Outrage

from the Catholic League
UNIV. OF MINN. CHANCELLOR ON MYERS:
HE'S IN THE CLEAR

On July 25, the University of Minnesota (UMN) at Morris issued a statement by its chancellor, Jacqueline Johnson, which began with the following paragraph: "I believe that behaviors that discriminate against or harass individuals or groups on the basis of their religious beliefs are reprehensible. The University of Minnesota Board of Regents Policy: [sic] Code of Conduct prohibits such behavior in the workplace"of course this includes the classroom"and I expect those who work and study here to comply with that policy." She then proceeded to say that Professor Paul Z. Myers, who intentionally (and with malice) desecrated the Eucharist, was expressing his own views and not those of UMN.

Catholic League president Bill Donohue issued a news release the same day, saying, "This is classic: Johnson admits Myers has violated the UMN's Code of Conduct and then proceeds to tell us why he is being allowed to do so with impunity"it's a matter of academic freedom."

Johnson faxed a letter to Donohue today saying she needed to address his 'misunderstanding' of her statement. She makes it plain that because Myers posted his comments on his personal blog, he did not violate UMN's Code of Conduct.

Donohue sent Johnson the following letter today:

"I am sorry for my generosity: I took it that the reason you began your statement of July 25 with a citation of UMN's Code of Conduct as it applies to religious intolerance was your way of acknowledging Myers' delinquency. I now stand corrected: Your comment was simply a ploy, a cute way of acknowledging that something was wrong, but certainly not anything that would demand your attention. And just so you don't misunderstand me: You could have issued a statement saying that while UMN has no authority over what Myers says in his blog, it is morally indefensible for anyone to intentionally desecrate the Eucharist. But, no, you couldn't even say that. Instead, you hide behind legalisms. We will let the Catholic community know of your decision."
Bill Donohue will be appearing Friday August 1st at 8 PM on the EWTN news program"The World Over" with Raymond Arroyo to discuss the ongoing controversy.

Save Our Lady of Lourdes Parish

For decades on Long Island, there has been a sanctuary from the ravages of "the Spirit of Vatican II", a place where respect for the Magesterium takes precedence over liturgical fads, a place where Catholic traditions such as Eucharistic and Marian devotion have flourished, and children are nutured in the faith.
Our Lady of Lourdes, Massapequa Park, is a parish which many have centered their lives around on Long Island, which has been in a spiritual desert for my entire lifetime, whose closing Catholic schools, declining religious orders, and errant retreat houses have caused many faithful Catholics pain.
A new pastor, is under the guise of 'inclusion' and the phrase, "we're all Catholics" is undermining some of Our Lady of Lourdes Massapequa Park's decades old traditions. I have been to the wonderful monthly Holy Hours at OLL, and have many friends there. Parishioners at OLL have always been close to the heart of the Church in all matters, desiring only to remain faithful to the Holy Father. It is painful to see the tranquility of the parish threatened by a new pastor who feels he needs to correct the theology of some of the holiest souls on Long Island, without consulting them.
To understand this crisis, go to their website, Save OLL MP and hear from them directly.

United we are victorious: Planned Parenthood infiltration frustrated!

We're not giving one single inch of ground to the evil organization who wants to sexualize our children, get them sexually involved, and later exploit them for abortion money. Just call American Life League, Stop Planned Parenthood next time you see those snakes trying to slither into a health fair, and stop them by the power of a strong, united protest. If it worked in the left coast, it can work anywhere!
Planned Parenthood was forced to stay away from a children's health and wellness event after American Life League supporters and local pro-life activists barraged event coordinators with phone calls and e-mails.
"We're committed to fighting Planned Parenthood wherever they are," said Jim Sedlak, vice president of American Life League. "We want to send a clear signal – there will be zero tolerance when it comes to Planned Parenthood's campaign to sexualize children."
The nation's largest abortion chain was scheduled to have a booth at the 'Vallejo Celebrates Youth' event geared toward grammar school children on Aug. 2. Children will learn about oral hygiene, literacy, and childhood obesity. They will no longer be learning about birth control, STDs and abortion.
Planned Parenthood has made a concerted effort to reach children recently through pornographic publications and web sites. The abortion giant targets children at events like the one sponsored by the Greater Vallejo Recreational District, with sex-related materials and birth control.
When American Life League heard of the events, the group contacted local activists and notified supporters. Within hours, hundreds of calls were placed to the GVRD who then decided to disinvite Planned Parenthood.

Before your child begins public school again this fall

You should hear the far left political opinions of the Nationa Education Association. They are the policy making arm of the public school system. They decide the direction of public education; text books, goals, curriculum, and types of administrators which the public schools have. Here is a sample of their extreme anti-Christian, anti-traditional morality agenda.
NEA resolutions include all the major feminist goals such as "the right to reproductive freedom" (i.e., abortion on demand); "comparable worth" (i.e., government control of wages according to feminist ideology rather than the free market); full funding for the feminist boondoggle called the Women's Educational Equity Act; and "the use of non-sexist language" (i.e., censoring out all masculine words such as husband and father).
The NEA even urges its affiliates to work for ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. The ERA was declared dead by the U.S. Supreme Court 26 years ago.
The influence of the gay lobby is pervasive in dozens of NEA resolutions adopted by 2008 convention delegates. Diversity is the code word used for pro-gay indoctrination in the classroom.
The NEA's Diversity resolution makes clear that this means teaching about "sexual orientation" and "gender identification," words that are repeated in dozens of resolutions. The NEA demands that "diversity-based curricula" even be imposed on preschoolers.
Do I have to mention they'll be supporting Barack Obama for president?

The National Down Syndrome Society about the Kennedy Brownback Bill

They're not giving up hope, so niether will I, and I will pray for this important legislation to pass.
Please join me in prayer for this.
The Battle Continues
By a vote of 52-40, the Senate voted on Monday, July 28 against proceeding to debate on S. 3297, the Advancing America's Priorities Act, which bundled together the Prenatal and Postnatal Diagnosis Conditions Awareness Act (known as the Kennedy-Brownback bill) and many other bills into one piece of legislation. Unfortunately, we fell eight votes short of the 60 that were required for the Senate to begin consideration of S. 3297.
This does not mean that the bill is dead. We need you to remain vigilant and hopeful.
This session of Congress is not over.
We still have an opportunity to pass S. 3297 this year so it's absolutely critical that yesterday's disappointment not deter us from our goal. Our work will continue when Congress returns from its summer recess in September. Yesterday's vote was not a reflection of lack of support for the Kennedy-Brownback legislation. Indeed, the bill was reported out favorably in a bipartisan vote by the Senate Health Education Labor Pensions (HELP) Committee. Unfortunately, S. 3297 and the Kennedy-Brownback legislation became caught up in broader disagreements between political parties about matters not related to Kennedy-Brownback. Election year politics are having an impact on every issue debated by the Senate. Just as I said in my post.
Our efforts will continue. We all agree about the importance of this legislation and will let you know when your advocacy efforts will be the most timely and effective.

Christian anti-Defamation Coalition stands with Catholics on Desecration of Eucharist

From Dr. Gary Cass of the Christian Anti-Defamation Coalition
A Biology Professor from the University of Minnesota, Paul Zachary Myers, has taken his radical enthusiasm for atheism to a disgraceful new low. Myers recently desecrated a consecrated communion wafer from a Catholic Mass. Meyers did this after a University of Florida student made headlines by stealing the Eucharist from a communion service and holding it hostage for days.
According to Catholic theology, the communion wafer, once duly consecrated, becomes the actual body of Christ. Professor Myers has written on his blog in defense of the University of Florida student. Meyer's has also asked people to steal the Eucharist for him in order that he might desecrate it and display it on his blog.
On his blog Meyers writes: "Can anyone out there score me some consecrated communion wafers? . if any of you would be willing to do what it takes to get me some, or even one, and mail it to me, I'll show you sacrilege, gladly, and with much fanfare. I won't be tempted to hold it hostage. but will instead treat it with profound disrespect and heinous cracker abuse, all photographed and presented here on the web."
Many have responded to this outrage and asked Professor Meyers to stop his blasphemous behavior and have even contacted the University, but nothing has been done so far. "Professor Meyers needs to be disciplined if not fired by the University Board of Regents for his unnecessary, provocative and inflammatory actions directed against Christians," said Dr. Gary Cass, Chairman and CEO of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission. "Had Professor Myers engaged in similar such egregious acts, like burning a homosexual flag or painting swastikas on a synagogue, or burning books in front of the library, he would have been terminated on the spot. Because Meyers merely offended Christians, he goes unpunished. This reinforces the perception of hostility towards Christians on secular university campuses and brings disgrace on the University itself for condoning this provocation by their silence."
Bias against Christians within secular Universities is not new. Last year Gary Tobin, President of the Institute for Jewish and Community Research, published a survey of 1,262 faculty members from 712 public colleges and universities. The survey revealed that Christian students were perceived to be the most unfavorable group of students by university and college professors.

TAKE ACTION: Contact the Board of Regents and ask for them to discipline Professor Myers for his unnecessary and vicious attack against one of Christianities most revered sacraments. Call: 612-625-6300
Thank you for this show of solidarity, Dr. Cass

Tiller Finally Headed to Trial — in March 2009

from Focus on the Family
Notorious Kansas abortionist George Tiller is scheduled to stand trial on 19 criminal counts in March 2009.
Sedgwick County District Judge Clark Owens will let prosecutors present evidence that reportedly shows Tiller violated a Kansas law that requires a second, independent doctor's opinion before late-term abortions take place. It’s been a long, hard-fought battle for life advocates in Kansas.
“You just keep pulling out one card at a time, and it doesn’t seem to make any difference at all," said Judy Smith, state director for Concerned Women for America of Kansas. "But at some point, the right one gets pulled out, and the house of cards begins to fall.”
We have several months to pray that the Killer will be brought to justice, the murders will end, and have a chance to convert before he faces Our Lord's justice.

Kennedy Brownback Bill dies in Senate

I am devastated to report that the Kennedy Brownback bill which would have given much needed information to parents whose unborn children have a disability, including referrals to adoption agencies, and support groups, was killed in the Senate today. I had great hopes that this bill would reduce the 90% abortion rate of disabled children whose condition is diagnosed before birth.
