I personally don't know what Voris would expect. After all, talking about contraception would be "divisive".

A poll for Catholic FReepers:

When was the last time you heard a homily where:

1. the homilist talked about the evils of artificial contraception?
2. the homilist praised the virtue of a large family?
3. the homilist praised the use of natural family planning?

NB: my answer to "a" and "b" -- I can't remember such a time
my answer to "c" -- once in the past 10 years and that was not a homily but a couple from the parish making a brief presentation (not very well either) who spoke briefly during the "liturgy of the announcements" after Holy Communion

When contraception is accepted, sex without consequences becomes expected.

THAT is what makes abortion “necessary”.

Abortion is the natural fallout from accepting contraception.

I don’t think there’s any chance of improvement until society completely bottoms out. As long as practically everyone accepts the assumption that the goal of life is maximum genital pleasure, everything past that is splitting hairs. I won’t say it doesn’t make a difference whether ensuring sterility is done through abstinence or chemicals or surgery, but it doesn’t make enough difference.

The caucus label will be removed because the article mentions non-Catholics.

Despite how the MSM tries to spin it, the March for Life is not exclusively a Catholic event.

The answer to a, b: 1958.

Answer to c: never. I’m not counting the NFP couple barkers because they shouldn’t have been on the altar in the first place—not even during the “liturgy of the announcements” (priceless!). And I’m not even sure, to this day, that natural family planning is what God or the Church had in mind. On the other hand, I don’t doubt its efficacy in preventing conception.

God LOVE and PROTECT Michael Voris ♥ When Mother Teresa passed away, one might have wondered, "who is going to speak up for life and against abortion like she did"...

Voris' video is excellent and not surprising. The pro-lifers interviewed do not understand what Humanae Vitae was about; in fact, most probably do not even know the encyclical exists, because (for one) it's not preached from the pulpit, as has been stated. They might not even know what an encyclical IS.

For those interested, Fr. Peter Carota posts often, and speaks without abandon on all issues of the faith. http://www.traditionalcatholicpriest.com/

There are those who say that these young people point to a shining promise for the pro-life movement. I beg to differ. The acceptance of the moral evil of contraception in so many points to a dismal prospect for the pro-life movement. If the truth of contraception is not taught RIGHT NOW in an unambiguous, complete and forthright manner, the pro-life movement will implode upon itself.

The pro-life movement does not comprise exclusively Romanists—nor necessarily even the religious. When you commit the category error of confusing exterminating the unborn with preventing conception, you only muddy the issue.

Not that it makes much difference, but how do kyou know if these young people are Catholic or Protestant?
