I’m one of the prolife converts! Excellent article!
In describing his conversion, Adasevic said he "dreamed about a beautiful field full of children and young people who were playing and laughing, from 4 to 24 years of age, but who ran away from him in fear. A man dressed in a black and white habit stared at him in silence. The dream was repeated each night and he would wake up in a cold sweat. One night he asked the man in black and white who he was. ‘My name is Thomas Aquinas,’ the man in his dream responded. Adasevic, educated in communist schools, had never heard of the Dominican genius saint. He didn’t recognize the name."

Wow! This is fantastic! A young seminarian recently shared with me about his call from God (after he had left the Church) and it also involved a dream...he had the same dream 3 times.
The Holy Spirit is very active. ;-)
Because it’s the most consistent denomination when it comes to life. No other approaches it. Not only is it church policy, but the vast majority of Catholics, leaders or followers, actually subscribe to it.
Unfortunately, too many see it as a “tradable political issue”. IOW, if one candidate is pro-job and another is pro-life, there’s this logic that says that’s an even trade off. “Life” is not an issue. It’s the premier God-given right.
Amen. There are a lot of really good things going on in the Church. God is raising up a zealous, faithful Remnant. There is great reason for Hope, even as the temporal world itself swirls down a horrifying abyss.
Woooo Hoooo...
You are so right! I am quite excited about what God is going these days!
;-))))))))))))))))
Goes to show that God is calling more people home in faith conversion.
Don't drink the Kool-Aid:
...The disagreement over Notre Dame and Obama is essentially the same as the disagreement among clashing American Catholic camps over the issue of the moral and legal status of abortion itself. In fact, 61 percent of the “attend less often” Catholics believe that abortion rights should be protected in all or most cases, as opposed to 30 percent (still an interesting number) among the “attend weekly” Catholics.How Catholic Universities Support Planned Parenthood-- from the thread Those consistently complex “Catholic voters”

and more. like gay marriage, women priests, reading the Quran in church and “Chrislam”, etc.
certainly i admire many of my Baptist brothers and sisters.
their faith, Bible knowledge, etc.
but the Catholic Church has built-in “checks and balances”,
that prevent most “drift” and inconsistencies.
however, most important, sincere praise to ALL Christians, who fight for the unborn lives, that God has created.
(and thanks to NYer for posting this)
I pray daily for the Church to deal more forcefully and publicly with the openly scandalous in our midst.
Um...did you just admit that contraception and abortion are related there, Alex? ;)
I believe that many people recognize instinctively, if not consciously, that abortion is almost universally a symptom of unchastity. The Catholic Church is the only religious body that has authoritative, complete, rational, and consistent teaching about chastity. This virtue is not universally observed, of course, any more than other virtues always are, but it is stated, by the Catholic Church, in terms that fully rational and well-intentioned persons cannot dismiss.
well, it’s natural. Which church group in the West has consistently stuck to its beliefs? No matter what tides come in one way or the other?
doesn’t matter — we’re not here to be liked. We must keep on telling the world that accepting homosexual acts is wrong, abortion is wrong, etc. etc. — we’ll get continuously hit for this, but that’s to be expected
We are called to duty and the problem is when we focus on preaching to non-Christians and forgetting to preach to ourselves
I just cannot understand the logic that killing a baby is acceptable in the liberal world.
You phrased that perfectly. Could not have been more accurate. Thank you.
That's the result of the 'Seamless Garment' gang. I forget if it was Bernadin or Weakland that started it.
