Catholic Fire

It isn't unusual for a Catholic grounded in his faith to speak out against abortion, but it is unusual for a Hollywood actor to boldly proclaim the beliefs of his faith and radically reject the hedonistic Hollywood lifestyle. I admire Jim Caviezel for that. And, like Jesus, he sends out a message of forgiveness. The Christian Post reports: "Passion of the Christ" actor Jim Caviezel has spoken out against abortion in a recent speech, calling it a "great sin" in America. He also reached out with a message of forgiveness to those who have gone through with the practice. “Many people are a part of this great sin in this country. These are all God’s children and he brings them home. Now he wants to bring you home. Do you think your friend has more grace than God? Does your friend have more love than the Creator? It can never be. God forgives you and now he needs you to begin, to accept forgiveness.” Read more. I strongly encourage anyone who has had a...

“Abortion would be a sacrament if women were in charge. Abortion should be a sacrament even today. I suspect that for many women today, and for their spouses, lovers, families and communities, abortion is celebrated as such, an occasion of deep and serious and sacred meaning.” ~ Episcopal priestess Carter Hayward

"Society is not obsessed with sex, It is afraid of it ... afraid of the total reality and power of what it represents, where it comes from and where it leads. Sex properly understood requires that we acknowledge God who made it. More than that, sex can never be separated from its purpose: to insert us into an immense powerful movement of life and love that started when God said, "Let there be light" (Genesis 1:3) and culminates when the Spirit and the Bride say "Come, Lord Jesus!" (Revelation 22:17). ~ Fr. Frank Pavone, Priests for Life

"Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word." ~ Luke 1 A "yes" in imitation of Mary, such a yes creates joy, a new life, a breath, a blessing. A yes like Mary's: what a blessing! What fullness of good in the world! A yes from Mary: how much blessing! What joy, what felicity! What salvation! What hope... ~ Pope John Paul II

"A human law can legalize abortion, but it will always remain an absolute immoral act. Neither the Catholic Church, nor the society in which women and men of good will actively participate, has been defeated by those who promote an unjust, irresponsible and criminal law that tries to terminate the life of innocent and defenseless beings in the maternal womb, beings who have the right to be born and to live their own life." "The Church and civil society have not experienced a loss in the battle for human life that, in fact, has only just begun. The Church will not keep quiet. The Church has a prophetic duty to denounce sin, evil and injustice. … The Church has to warn of the fatal consequences of a perverse proceeding ruled by egotism and subjectivism that tries to disguise as a right what is in fact licentiousness. The law of God is clear when it categorically states: Do not kill!" ~Father Hugo Valdemar Romero, communications director for the Archdiocese of Mexico i...
