Good point.

Sadly that is so far ahead of where they are. I forget the number, but a majority of people on Priests For Life's mailing list are not even registered.

The situation is a mess to say the least.

Also, please visit http://www.KnightsForLife.org and tell me what you think. We are trying to get the Order more active in the cause.

Vivat Jesu!

The PFL are really trying to pick up the Catholic Vote. Before the PA primary, we received a call from a lay man (whose name escapes me - I'd recognize it if I heard it) from PFL. He wanted to make sure we were getting the PA Catholic Conference Voters guides in our bulletin. We've given money to PFL and we did have them come to speak at our parish years ago, but this call was really out of the blue. We assured him we were using effective voters guides, i.e. not the idiocy that spews forth from the Philly Archdiocesan public affairs office.

Then he asked me if I knew any pro-life contacts for the surrounding parishes. The first two people/parishes I named were names he already had. I guess that must have been some kind of a test to see if I really did know any fellow pro-lifers, because then he named four nearby parishes that he still needed contacts for. I was able to give him names and numbers for two of the parishes, including the largest one. I told him he had a good chance of getting names for the other two from those two folks.

I was very impressed by this effort. I don't think it was any accident that Toomey did so well in the primary.
