Pope Francis at Mass: bishops and priests need prayers of faithful

2013-05-15 Vatican Radio (Vatican Radio) Pray for priests and bishops, that they might not give in to the temptations of money and vanity, but serve the people of God. This was Pope Francis’ exhortation to the faithful at Mass this morning in the chapel of the Domus Sanctae Marthae residence in the Vatican, at which there was a group of Vatican Radio staff.Pope Francis’ homily took its starting point from the passage in the Acts of the Apostles, in which Paul exhorts the elders of the Church of Ephesus to watch over themselves and all the flock, to be attentive shepherds, and guard against the “ravenous wolves” that would feed on the fold.

Contraception laid groundwork for Gosnell’s ‘House of Horrors’

Contraception laid groundwork for Gosnell’s ‘House of Horrors’ Posted on May 1st, 2013 by Paycheck in Abortion, Contraception  A Catholic bishop in Nebraska is arguing that the atrocities allegedly committed by abortionist Kermit Gosnell at his “House of Horrors” in Philadelphia were the result of a “contraceptive mentality” that closes off the sexual act from the gift of life. In a new column for the Southern Nebraska Register, Bishop James Conley of Lincoln observes that Gosnell’s so-called “post-birth abortions” were the “logical outcome of the abortion mentality.” But he takes it further, arguing that “they are also, in a deeper sense, the result of what Blessed John Paul II called the ‘contraceptive mentality.’” Bishop James Conley of Lincoln Bishop Conley says it’s wrong to think contraception can reduce the number of abortions, and, in fact, a “culture of contraception cannot avoid becoming a ‘culture of death’ – in which some lives are seen not as gifts, but as burdens.”… (Source)Sooner or later….everyone has to admit the connection.Share this: This entry was posted on Wednesday, May 1st, 2013 at 10:16 pm and is filed under Abortion, Contraception
