Bishop Finn, from Kansas City-St. Joseph, has a great editorial in the Kansas City Star. Of course the KC Star has been promoting Amendment 2 from the very beginning, so it’s nice to see a little change. You can also check out his latest article in the Catholic Key. Bishop Finn is doing a fine job in the KCSJ diocese, … Read More
Amen Brother!
Dr. Ralph J. Duda Jr., an endocrinologist from Springfield MO, wrote a powerful op-ed about the disasterous Amendment 2 which voices the anger and frustrations of all of us fighting to see that this thing does not pass. I don’t want to spoil the whole thing for you, so here’s a little taste: “An unbiased examination of Amendment 2, the … Read More
My Letter
The op-ed that I sent to the newspapers in Missouri didn’t get picked up, as I expected. So, I went with just a letter to the editor. I am actually very sorry to admit that this is the first letter to the editor I have written about the amendment – or ever for that matter – and the election is … Read More
Ladies and Gentlemen, Start Your Novenas!
The election will be in nine days, starting tomorrow – a perfect opportunity to start saying a Novena for the election. There are many good novenas out there. I will be praying to St. Philomena.

In 2004 57 scientists and physicians sent a letter to John Kerry voicing their concerns about his statements on cloning and ESCR. The … Read More
It’s a Stuffing Party!
Now, this is what I call a grassroots effort! Last night our little Gospel of Life committee had a stuffing party for the mailing we are sending to all of the families in our parish about Amendment 2. It went by surprisingly fast, too. We had roughly 1,200 letters to send and they were signed, stuffed, and sealed in almost … Read More
New Ad for MAHC
I’m really excited about this ad. It is supposed to be played during the World Series tonight, if they play. It’s supposed to be raining. I won’t be able to see it because I’m going to a Missourians Against Human Cloning presentation that I will say a few words at. I’m looking forward to the presentation because my spinal cord … Read More
Deception, Daughters, Dollars
These are the 3 D’s of Amendment 2. The first one is self explanitory and has been the primary focus of those opposed to the Amendment. The amendment language redefines the term cloning in order to get away with claiming to ban the procedure. This language is conveniently left off of the official ballot language so uneducated voters will think … Read More
