Joe Scheidler - Requiescat In Pace

Today, January 18 2021 early in the morning, Joe Scheidler passed away from pneumonia at the age of 93.  He and his wife Ann are the founders of Pro-Life Action League, pioneers in exposing the truth of the violence of abortion via pictures of the tiny murdered children.

I was fortunate enough to meet him several times when he came to the DC area, and one of those meetings happened outside an abortuary where several of us offered prayers and counseling.  He was always supportive of our efforts to end the horror of abortion in our localities.

I will post below a tribute to him, created several years ago.  The narration is by Joe himself.  Those who really wish to honor him would do well to go to your local mills and offer prayers and assistance to abortion-minded women.

Please pray for the repose of his soul, and consolation for his family.  Also, ask his intercession for those of us still in the realm of the Church Militant who continue the fight for the Culture of Life, soon to be rendered all the more difficult under the looming Biden-Harris tyranny.

Joe And Ann Scheidler's Home Vandalized

This morning, at approximately 2:00am, two windows of the Scheidlers' home were smashed by bricks.  One of the bricks had a threatening note attached to it, betraying the vandal's pro-abortion proclivities.  I'll redirect you to the Lifenews article, so that you can see the note, which was obviously written by someone who is rendered imbalanced in part by her abortion.

Except for the internet community, news of these acts of pro-abortion violence would not be known to the public.  The pro-abortion mainstream media tends to look the other way when it comes to these matters.  There is a local case-in-point regarding the media's bias.  Three such incidents happened in Maryland during the weekend of May 24, 2004.

1. The Gabriel Project's office in Bowie was ransacked and vandalized, causing thousands of dollars in damges.
2. Pregnancy Center West in Baltimore's offices were hosed out.
3. The Gabriel Project sign outside the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen in Baltimore was vandalized.

Someone had a busy weekend.  I will say, though, that those incidents were investigated as hate crimes.

The Lifenews article gives a mailing address for the Scheidlers.  Why not send them a contribution to help them repair the damages?  Such donations might come in handy, especially since the Chicago CCHD so ignobly defunded the Pro-Life Action League recently.

Black Friday In Tyson's Corner, Virginia

Shoppers swarming into the mall there to get early-bird bargains for their Christmas shopping received a reminder of their duties as decent human beings.  Christmas is about the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, who came as a baby.  Today, many other babies, thousands every day, are being slaughtered via abortion.  These shoppers received a much-needed challenge to shake them out of complaceny and hopefully to stir their consciences.  About 20 pro-lifers showed pictures of the true nature of abortion, in what is commonly called a Face the Truth tour.  Yes the pictures are gory, but - that's the nature of abortion.  Click here if you can't see embedded video.



As Peter Shinn said in the video, if anyone is interested in starting such an effort in their locality, please contact Pro-Life Unity or Defend Life.  Alternatively, you may also contact Joe Scheidler's Pro-Life Action League.

BREAKING - Archdiocese Of Chicago CCHD RETRACTS Grants Promised To Pro-Life Groups

We reported, in the past two weeks, that there was a backlash against the much-needed reform of the Chicago CCHD.  Read here and here. 

It appears that the backlash is pretty much complete.  InsideCatholic reports that Chicago's CCHD has actually retracted grants previously promised to solid pro-life groups.  Among them is the Pro-Life Action League, founded by Joe Scheidler.

The CCHD just sank to a new immoral low.  Over the past few weeks I've detailed where they're slipping money to nefarious community-organizing scam-outfits, many of them kissing up to baby-murder organizations.  Now they're actually reneging on solid pro-life groups that are about the business of saving babies.

The CCHD does NOT deserve one red penny of any Catholic's money.  Boycott that collection!
