Last week’s Our Sunday Visitor had an excellent article (subscribers only) on the Angelus prayer and its possible contribution to the “pro-life arsenal.” The Angelus is a prayer typically repeated three times a day – 6 a.m., noon, and 6 p.m. – recalling the conception and birth of Jesus Christ. Says OSV: As people pray the Angelus, perhaps they will … Read More
It’s Official
John McCain is now officially the Republican nominee (as if that outcome was ever really in doubt) and the last remaining even vaguely pro-life candidates in the race. Obviously Obama and Clinton have no pro-life credentials, and in fact frequently argue over who is more pro-abortion. But is John McCain altogether much better? We all know that he is committed … Read More
Congratulations Bella!
Last week Bella received more acknowledgment for its good work when actor/producer Eduardo Verastegui won for best actor at the 16th Annual Movieguide Faith and Values Awards. The movie itself was nominated for Top Family Film of the Year, but lost to Ratatouilli. Also, according to producer Leo Severino, Bella will soon be released internationally. It will be in Canada … Read More
Protesting Underage Elephant Pregnancy
I guess human beings aren’t the only ones who should be offered birth control and abortion to compensate for their reckless sexual behavior. From Reuters: Sydney’s premier zoo is celebrating the news that its 9-year-old Asian elephant is pregnant, but animal rights groups are shocked that the zoo has let a juvenile elephant fall pregnant. Allowing such a young elephant … Read More
“Excellence in Blogging”
So I was tagged with the “Excellent Blog Award” by Jean at Catholic Fire (another excellent blog) and asked to forward the award to 10 other blogs. I thought this would be a good time to give credit to some other blogs that often give me ideas an inspiration. So without further adieu, live from the Midwest Command in chilly … Read More
Who is Acceptable?
Though I may not refuse to vote for either in the general election (I’ll have to do some soul searching on that one), I don’t see a Romney or a McCain victory against the pro-abortion Democrats as a “victory” for pro-lifers, or Republicans in general. It just means that the status quo in pro-life politics has once again been settled … Read More
Romney/McCain Vids
Some ads from RoeGone.org: Mitt Romney: John McCain: Here’s another one of Mitt (just ignore the fact that it’s from McCain): H/T: Regular Guy Paul
A Prayer for the Florida Primary
“Most merciful Jesus, I beseech You through the intercession of Your dearest Mother who nurtured You from childhood, bless my native land. I beg You, Jesus, look not on our sins, but on the tears of little children, on the hunger and cold they suffer. Jesus, for the sake of these innocent ones, grant me the grace that I am … Read More
Kenny Hulshof for Governor!!!!
This would be a breath of fresh air after Gov. Blunt’s pro-cloning Governorship! Not only did Rep. Hulshof oppose Amendment 2, he also voted against expanding federal funding for embryonic stem cell research and has a strong pro-life record. He has not made any formal plans to run yet, but he’s considering it. From the St. Louis Post: U.S. Rep. … Read More
And the Winner Is…
Missouri Right to Life finally voted and endorsed Mike Huckabee. For an organization whose sole concern is life issues there simply is no other choice. Two are glaringly unacceptable – Rudy, who is pro-abortion, and McCain, who wants to expand federal funding for embryonic stem cell research – and Romney screwed up when he said he supports scientific research on … Read More
