A recent Gallup Poll showed that the Mexico City Policy repealed by executive fiat by President Obama is unpopular with approximately 65% of American taxpayers who will be footing the bill for abortions in the third world and made accomplices in the killing of unborn infants worldwide.
You have a choice and the freedom to speak up on behalf of the defenseless whom government is meant to protect.
Tell your senators and congressmen:
You want them to codify the Mexico City policy.
You want them to deny taxpayer funds to international organizations and agencies that promote or perform abortions overseas so that it will not have to be reconsidered each year during the appropriations process.
You do not want to be forced into complicity with abortions through your tax dollars!
Our country doesn’t have the right to kill the innocent, here or abroad.
Joseph Pearce in his The Quest for Shakespeare argues convincingly for the Catholicism of William Shakespeare. Pearce builds his position with scholarship and logic like a gothic arch; one pillar rising on biographical evidence and the other from the text of Shakespeare’s works.
From The Merchant of Venice, when Portia speaks to Shylock, Act IV, Scene I:
The quality of mercy is not strained.
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.
Tis mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown.
His scepter shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings.
But mercy is above this sceptered sway;
It is enthroned in the hearts of kings;
It is an attribute of God himself;
And earthly power doth then show like God’s
When mercy seasons justice.
From the treatise On Spiritual Perfection by Diadochus of Photice
“Therefore, we must maintain great stillness of mind when in the midst of our struggles. We shall then be able to distinguish between the different types of thoughts that come to us: those that are good, those sent by God, we will treasure in our memory; those that are evil and inspires by the devil we will reject. A comparison with the sea may help us. A tranquil sea allows the fisherman to gaze right to its depths. No fish can hide there and escape his sight. The stormy sea, however, becomes murky when it is agitated by the winds. The very depths that it revealed in its placidness, the sea now hides. The skills of the fisherman are useless.”

A push is being made by supporters of Planned Parenthood to flood the White House comment line with complaints voicing their unhappiness with the removal of funding for Planned Parenthood (read abortion and all akin) in the stimulus package. It’s your turn, Happy Warrior, to speak up for life yet again. Please call the White House and ask to comment on the “stimulus package” then thank the powers that be for the removal of this funding and expressing the desire for it not to be re-instated in any form.
The Super Bowl, known for its advertisements, as well as football and hoopla, won’t be showing the CatholicVote.org ad.
Please don’t sit on the Super Bowl sidelines for this one.. All the noise that erupts on Sunday shouldn’t hold a candle to the voices of Catholics, Christians and all pro-life people who are in the majority on this one..
Thanks go to Matt Gardocki for hunting down these email addresses for Julie, the Happy Catholic
The secular world looks upon Jesus, deemed irrelevant, and says, “Crucify Him!”
President Barak Obama looks upon the Church and it’s voiced opposition to the gospel of Death and says, “I won!” In other words, “Crucify Him!”
Nancy Pelosi looks upon the teachings of the Church (her Church?) and it’s proclamation of the Gospel of Life. Then, with political and pragmatic correctness, hammer and nails in hand, pronounces, in effec,t that Life costs too much. So,we hear again,“Crucify Him!”
Be Holy!
