The pro-abortionist group masquerading as a “neutral” investigators are seeking to hide the truth from you. Eve Reinhardt posed as an independent film maker trying to talk to pro-life leaders and clergy in Latin America to gather information for an abortionist film. The project is called the “Decency Gap” and is financed by the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), Marie Stopes International and the Center for Reproductive Rights, as well as the Peruvian pro-abortion association PROMSEX. The film is slated to be a pro-abortion piece designed to undermine the Mexico City policy and push the implementation of abortions in Latin America.
People, abortionists are liars. Their dishonesty runs deep. This is just more evidence. Watch their cover get blown in the video below. They already tried to have it removed (and temporarily succeeded) from YouTube. Watch it before they try and do it again.

I am not exactly sure why I like this image. I think it is the way she is looking at something you can’t see. I want to know what she is seeing and what she is thinking. Imho, her face has that look like the Mona Lisa - that look of pleasant mystery. I think the weathered look of the statue adds to the overall mystery.
When praying the rosary it is important to meditate upon the mysteries for the day. Yesterday, being Sunday we said the Glorious mysteries. The first mystery is the resurrection and my meditation centered on Mary Magdalene.
Mary was at a complete loss. The man she thought was the Savior, the one whose feet she washed with her hair, the one to whom she listened while her sister was at work in the kitchen, her friend whom she loved dearly was dead. She had stood at the foot of the cross and watched him die. But even after death, even in this darkest hour she looked for him - though she thought she was looking for a body. Can you imagine the pain and anguish? Can you imagine the prayers of lament that went up to the Father? But her prayer had already been answered! She just didn’t know it. So wrapped up in her pain, she did not realize that it was Christ who stood before her. Can you imagine the joy when she finally saw him, really saw him?
Sometimes, our own pain from loss or trial can be so intense. We may even feel like God has abandoned us; that our hope has died. But if we look, we can see him. He is standing right in front of us.
Sarah’s Law is an initiative in California to require consent before a minor is given an abortion. From the friendsofsarah.com:
In California, a girl under 18 years can’t get a flu shot, a cavity filled, or an aspirin dispensed by the school nurse without a parent knowing BUT a doctor can perform a surgical or chemical abortion on a minor girl (under 18) without informing her parents.
There is a contest that anyone can enter to promote Sarah’s law. Details on the proposition and the video can be found at friendsofsarah.com. Entries for the video are not limited to Californians - so get busy with your video making skills.
Christianity is not about ideas. It is about events.
I heard this quote in a talk by Gil Bailie. You can here the talks at the Emmaus Road Initiative website. Here is what he recommends you ask if you are suffering an identity crisis.
The article excerpt below from Catholic Exchange, Catholicism - A Hate Crime in Canada?, describes the opening acts of a larger movement in the western world.
“If one, because of one’s sincerely held moral beliefs, whether it be Jew, Muslim, Christian, Catholic, opposes the idea of same-sex marriage in Canada, is that considered ‘hate’?”The question was not rhetorical. Nor was it theoretical. Fr. Alphonse de Valk, a Basilian priest and pro-life activist known throughout Canada for his orthodoxy, is currently being investigated by the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) — a quasi-judicial investigative body with the power of the Canadian government behind it. The CHRC is using section 13 of Canada’s Human Rights Act to investigate the priest. This is a section under which no defendant has ever won once the allegation has gone to tribunal — the next stage of the process.
Most defendants end up paying thousands of dollars in fines and compensation. This is in addition to various court costs. Moreover, defendants are responsible for their own legal defense. In contrast, the commission provides free legal assistance to the complainant.
A persecution is coming. The values that Catholics (and other people of faith) hold as sacred are being outlawed. Ostensibly this illegalization of faith takes the guise of creating new “freedoms” or “rights.” These new “rights” are new and are false - rights are not created by the state - rights are endemic to being human - they can be recognizes by a state, but they cannot be created. When a new “right” is created by a state is better termed license (as in permission). These new licenses are beginning to be used to deny actual rights. We already see the right to life denied in the name of “freedom to choose abortion,” expect to see freedom of religion fall as it becomes illegal to hold religious beliefs.
This looming persecution seems inevitable with the West on its continuing 40+ year hedonistic binge, and rejection of morality. The time is coming when we will each need to choose what side we are on. Will you worship God and follow his precepts? Will you stand up and be counted no matter what the cost? Or will follow the state - supporting the “change” that it and its ministers preach?
Lord Jesus, present in the Most Blessed Sacrament,
and living perpetually among us through Your Priests,
grant that the words of Your Priests may be only Your words,
that their gestures be only Your gestures,
and that their lives be a true reflection of Your life.
Grant that they may be men who speak to God on behalf of His people,
and speak to His people of God.
Grant that they be courageous in service,
serving the Church as she asks to be served.
Grant that they may be men who witness to eternity in our time,
travelling on the paths of history in Your steps,
and doing good for all.
Grant that they may be faithful to their commitments,
zealous in their vocation and mission,
clear mirrors of their own identity,
and living the joy of the gift they have received.
We pray that Your Holy Mother, Mary,
present throughout Your life,
may be ever present in the life of Your Priests.
