It's Christian to Kill!

Judie BrownThe travesty and sorrow that stems from the murder of preborn babies is something every Catholic should feel. To know that a child's life is snuffed out at the hands of a cruel abortionist is a sickening thought. What is even more sickening is that one of these cruel abortionists is employed by a Catholic hospital-a hospital that is protecting his job. Read today's commentary for more about this appalling story.

Cardinal Burke: Suffering does not rid life of purpose

EWTN       

At a Kansas City conference on end-of-life care, Cardinal Raymond Burke said that suffering does not cause a person to have less meaning in his life, nor does it give the government the right to decide if that person should live or die. "No matter how much a life is diminished, no matter what suffering the person is undergoing, that life demands the greatest respect and care," Cardinal Burke, prefect of the Apostolic Signatura, told CNA. "It's never right to snuff out a life because it's in some way under heavy burden."                        


Obama admin threatens second state for defunding Planned Parenthood

Life Site News 
New Hampshire has become the second state after Indiana to receive a strongly-worded rebuke from Obama officials for cutting off Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood. A state health official told New Hampshire Public Radio Wednesday that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services had warned his office that New Hampshire's defunding effort may have broken federal rules by depriving state Medicaid recipients of a qualified provider.


Doc at Catholic hospital: "I perform abortions because I'm a Christian"

Life Site News       

After a Catholic hospital in Colorado refused to remove a Planned Parenthood abortionist from its ob/gyn staff, pro-life advocates have organized a protest, featuring Live Action President Lila Rose, on Aug. 4. "The reason I perform abortions is because I'm a Christian," Richard Grossman, a Quaker, told the Durango Herald after a similar protest outside Mercy Regional Medical Center last year.  "Personally, I believe in the strength, intellect and fortitude of women. When a woman says a fetus is a person, I think it is one. I believe the woman empowers the fetus."  

 

About deaconjohn1987

What’s to say about me? Well, I’m 75 years old, semi-retired with my wife Marianne, and living in a condo in Central Florida. I was born in Manhattan (New York Hospital) but lived my childhood in Astoria, Queens. My wife lived one block away but we never met until I was about 21 years old. I enlisted in the US Navy in 1954 and served aboard 2 Aircraft Carriers, the Bennington and the Leyte. After 3 and a half years I was discharged and I worked in many different jobs. My favorite job was as a motorcycle courier for the local TV News Stations and U.P.I. I got paid to do something I loved, riding a Harley! I met my wife through her cousin and we married and had 6 children; 2 are in heaven. We now have 8 grandchildren! Most of them are living in New York and Pennsylvania, so we don’t see them too much. In 1987, on April 25th, I was ordained a deacon for the Diocese of Brooklyn and served in four parishes until 2002, when we relocated to Florida. Mainly because we couldn’t afford to live in NYC and for my wife’s health, she needed a home of her own. She has ‘end stage kidney failure’ and is expected to go on dialysis soon. Our daughter helped us buy the condo and answered my prayers that we could have our own home. Blessed be God forever! I work a part-time job to help pay for the medications and doctor visits, but it’s really tough making ends meet. I miss New York with all the excitement and places to go. And the beautiful churches! I also love the Old Latin Mass but can’t get to one here. As a matter of fact we don’t even have a parish in our town of Tavares, so we travel to Eustis or Mt. Dora for Mass. Our life is a struggle and I hope to post some of these trials here for the glory of God! We're on the move again! We just left Florida and moved to be near our grandchildren. Marianne had congested heart failure in March and spent 9 days in the hospital. I must say that Florida Waterman hospital saved her life and gave her great care. She is in our new residence and recuperating. God bless us all
