Even Patricia Ireland Used To Be Pro-Life

The Catholic church objects to using eggs or flour sacks to simulate parental responsibility, pointing out that the real purpose of these methods are to create repulsion to life, rather than reverence for it. I thoroughly agree. Teaching life is a job parents cannot delegate to others including prolife educators, and the basis of this education has to be theological not utilitarian.

Hello Havisham,

Re: Your #100

"This allows me the opportunity to ask a question. Has everyone here taken the time to tell their children (I recommend starting at age 9) what abortion means and why it is wrong? Unfortunately, the population bomb myth, 'safe sex', and birth control are already topics in grade school curricula and parents have to arm their children FIRST. We can't take for granted that our children will stay prolife for long given the death agenda of the education and media elites. Talk about it. Teach life to your kids."

I absolutely agree with you! Parents must be the first teachers--especially in Faith and Morals. I will add this to my points--thanks for bringing it up.

Your 101

The Catholic church objects to using eggs or flour sacks to simulate parental responsibility, pointing out that the real purpose of these methods are to create repulsion to life, rather than reverence for it. I thoroughly agree. But unfortunately it still does happen. That is one of my points in the article and in starting cpforlife.org

Teaching life is a job parents cannot delegate to others including prolife educators… I agree they should not delegate, it should be taught at home AND in all Christian schools. But we all know it is not being taught in either, in most cases, and that is why we are in this 30+ year holocaust with no end in sight. The parents may be negligent but that MUST NOT stop LIFE from being taught in Christian schools. Christian leaders have their own obligation to teach the Truth-in it's entirety, all the time without fail even when no one wants them to--even when they are threatened.

I guess part of the reason why they don't is because of fear of attack from liberal pro-abortion parents etc. They should teach LIFE anyway. Have a meeting and put it on the line: "If you don't want your children to be taught the truth about the life of the unborn person and the sanctity of life in general, then you will have to take your child(ren) out of this school.” Those who leave would easily be replaced by the long list in the waiting lines. This would be a good way of cleanly removing the infidels and strengthening the system.

and the basis of this education has to be theological not utilitarian. The two are not necessarily mutually exclusive. It would be serving the LORD first and His people second.
