The moral compass needed

The RH Bill went through some tweaks recently, but I do not think these tweaks make it any more acceptable.  For one, the  Mandatory Age-Appropriate Reproductive Health and Sexuality Education is still there.  I quote a comment on a news article that sums up my thoughts on the danger of current sex education in our schools (talks of abortion, but you get the point):
Decades have gone by since the decision was made. The ideology that abortion is OK has been brainwashed into all the school kids over these generations. Only those whose parents were able to educate them about the horror that abortion is can have a chance of being against it.

But the sexual education curriculum gets more and more perverse.
It is hard for adolescents to navigate through it without a moral compass.
Part of the reason why abortions are happening is because the youth thinks it's OK to have sex. They think contraception is safe. They think it won't fail them.

Year of Faith

October 11 is the start of the Year of Faith that the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI wrote to us about last year.  This start coincides with the 20th anniversary of the new Catechism of the Catholic Church (commissioned by Bl. Pope John Paul II) and the 50th anniversary of the start of Vatican Council II.  

Read the Holy Father's "Door of Faith", a letter that he wrote to tell us of this year of faith, and where he also mentions how we can live this year of the faith better:  a time of witnessing for the Church and of better living charity.

One of the things we can do is to read the Catechism of the Catholic Church, to not only know more about our faith, but to increase and bring others to love our faith.  You can pick up the Catechism and have a reading plan for it for the duration of the year of faith, or, you can subscribe to Read the Catechism in a Year via flocknote.com.  It's been only just a day, so go on subscribe.

Also, pray for the proceedings of the Synod of Bishops XIII ORDINARY GENERAL ASSEMBLY (7-28 OCTOBER 2012)"Nova evangelizatio ad christianam fidem tradendam - The New Evangelization for the Transmission of the Christian Faith" now on-going.

An idiot god

Too good to pass ...

But there is someone even worse than a pro-choice Catholic.

Who is worse?  Their God.  The God of the pro-choice Catholic is an idiot God.

...

The God of the pro-choice Catholic says, “I have conquered death.  Now go forth and kill.”

Idiot.

Bill of Repro rights

Sounds familiar?

“We the people of the United States hereby assert the following as fundamental human rights that no government may deny, and that our governments at every level must guarantee and safeguard for all.

1. The right to make our own decisions about our reproductive health and future, free from intrusion or coercion by any government, group, or individual.

2. The right to a full range of safe, affordable, and readily accessible reproductive health care including pregnancy care, preventive services, contraception, abortion, and fertility treatment—and accurate information about all of the above.

3. The right to be free from discrimination in access to reproductive health care or on the basis of our reproductive decisions."

These "Bill of Reproductive Rights" that many in Hollywood  subscribed to recently are not so different from what RP RH proponents want to get out of an RH Law.  From the same play book, from the same kool-aid.
