"Serious spiritual and moral consequences" -- Archbishop explains why he has ordered pro-abortion Kansas governor to stop presenting herself for Communion
5/11/2008 8:19:00 AM
By Kansas City Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann
-The Leaven (KC Diocesan Newspaper)
"Since becoming archbishop, I have met with Governor [Kathleen] Sebelius several times over many months to discuss with her the grave spiritual and moral consequences of her public actions by which she has cooperated in the procurement of abortions performed in Kansas. My concern has been, as a pastor, both for the spiritual well-being of the governor but also for those who have been misled (scandalized) by her very public support for legalized abortion. It has been my hope that through this dialogue the governor would come to understand her obligation: 1) to take the difficult political step, but necessary moral step, of repudiating her past actions in support of legalized abortion; and 2) in the future would use her exceptional leadership abilities to develop public policies extending the maximum legal protection possible to the unborn children of Kansas."

Visible and invisible
5/10/2008 3:00:00 PM
By Kenneth Baker, S.J., Editor
-Homiletic & Pastoral Review
No other vocation on this earth can compare with that of the priest, who daily acts in a visible way with visible things like bread and wine and water and oil but whose significant effect is spiritual and therefore invisible. It is a great honor to be called to be a priest, but it also involves a great responsibility. The priest should be aware of his great powers and dignity and at the same time thank God for his gifts and pray constantly to be worthy of his calling to be a minister of both the visible and the invisible.

United Socialist States of America? Congressional bill under consideration to transform America to socialism?
5/11/2008 8:27:00 AM
By Henry Lamb
-www.worldnetdaily.com
Listen carefully to the candidates for every office, and reject those who campaign for more government programs and more government control. Identify those in the city council, county commission and in the state legislatures who vote for expanded government control - and vote for their opponents (if they advocate more freedom). Look at the list of cosponsors of H.R. 2421, and tell them to vote against this socialist bill. Read the bill yourself, and don't let your representative tell you that it doesn't expand government power over all "activities affecting these waters." This bill is expected to see floor action within the next several weeks. If it is enacted, it will not likely ever be undone. Once government gets its hands on new power, it is never relinquished.

Illinois Teen Faces Three Years Jail Sentence for Potentially Fraudulent 'Hate Crime': Selective prosecution illustrates danger of 'hate crimes' laws

Two young men - one homosexual, one heterosexual - tell very different stories about an argument that occurred late on a Friday night (April 11) in this college town, but only one - the straight student-athlete - faces a felony "hate crime" conviction with a maximum penalty of up to three years in prison. Brett VanAsdlen faces a Class 4 felony hate crime after originally being charged with aggravated battery following an incident in which he pushed 20-year-old homosexual University of Illinois student Steven Velasquez to the ground. The critical question is: why did he push Velasquez and who was aggressor? VanAsdlen's family says it was Velasquez who - after Brett made a comment about Velasquez and his homosexual partner - first "got in Brett's face," to which Brett responded by pushing Velasquez away. Velasquez claims that Brett attacked him unprovoked because of his homosexuality.
