Catholic Fire

Based on a true story of a mother who attempted to rescue her 13 year-old daughter from a clinic where she was taken, without her mother's knowledge, to have an abortion. This video was produced for OdB by Ed Vizenor of Wisdom Productions.

Catholic League president Bill Donohue commented on the decision by the California Supreme Court upholding the resolution banning same-sex marriage in California: "The shame of it all is that after the citizens of California said no to gay marriage last fall—the people always say no (the record is 30-0 in state ballot initiatives)—homosexual radicals sought to do an end-run around the democratic process and have unelected judges overrule the express will of the people. But the opponents of democracy, and common sense, lost today and that is how it should be. No one supports two men getting married save for white people who have spent too much time in the classroom."

I am so happy to hear the good news! The battle continues -- onward Christian soldiers! The California Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that Proposition 8, the successful California ballot measure which defined marriage to be between a man and a woman, is constitutional. It also decided that the some 18,000 homosexual “marriages” contracted in the state should remain valid in law. By a vote of 6-1, the state Supreme Court justices ruled Proposition 8 was constitutional. The court unanimously ruled that existing “marriages” would stand. Proposition 8 was put forward as a response to the California Supreme Court’s May 2008 decision which by a vote of 4-3 overturned a state ban on such unions. Read the entire article here.

Via Michael Barber: JP Catholic students are all over two big propositions in California--and now the mainstream news media is taking notice of their efforts. First, Proposition 4, or Sarah's Law, would require parental notification for abortion. Right now, a high school can't give an aspirin to a student without notifying parents--but a child can get an abortion and the parents don't have to know a thing about it. This, of course, enables child predators, as our students highlight in this ad. This ad aired in California on television immediately after the Vice Presidential debate last Thursday. Second, Proposition 8 would amend the state constitution to define marriage as between one man and one woman. Yes, we already voted on this a few years ago and such a definition won a majority of the vote (61%). But the California Supreme Court ruled (4-3) that the vote didn't matter and legalized gay marriage despite the vote. The students have been making ads for that as wel...

If this isn't openly defying the Holy Father and the Magisterium of the Church, I don't know what is. Sure, Pelosi and Mc Carthy have already excommunicated themselves from the Church by their actions, but why is their leader condoning this? We need to continue begging Jesus to send His Holy Spirit so that His creatures will be purified by fire (or whatever else is necessary) and something will be done about this defiant attitude and behavior that some people have toward the Holy Father, the Vicar of Christ on earth. Let's also continue to pray and offer up our sufferings for an end to this evil. I am praying that their consciences will be restored.
