An ecumenical prayer effort of nine days (a novena for us Catholics) started last evening at a rally at Covenent Life Church on Muncaster Mill Road. This evening a Rosary procession occurred, from Mother Seton down to the development where Leroy Carhart commits his crimes against humanity. I took some camcorder clips and hope to have them online tomorrow evening.
I urge all to attend as many of the prayer sessions as possible - particularly those in the upper part of Montgomery County MD. Please visit http://summerofmercy.com/ for details.

Contraception And Salvation
Last week I posted part one of Dr Martin Brenner's four-part series on contraception. I now post the second part. Among many things, Dr Brenner suggests that the embrace of contraception on the part of so many Catholics is a direct impediment to their ability to receive the graces of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, whether offered in the Extraordinary (traditional Latin) Form or the Novus Ordo.

Anti-Child Bile Spreads
We recall the vitriol and venom that greated David and Victoria Beckham of England when they brought their fourth child into the world. They were chided and derided - even by some of the British Parliament for being "ecologically selfish" and other assorted nonsense. Mind you, many of them are of the same ilk that shriek "My body! My choice!" when they want to champion baby-murder. However, where's the respect for the choice of the Beckhams? How their hypocrisy shows. By the way - similar maltreatment is being heaped upon Boris Johnson, Mayor of London.
Michael Voris did a clip on this. He made mention of an entire website devoted to spreading word of "child-free" resorts. It is http://www.leavethembehind.com/. I would recommend visiting it - to learn which resorts you should boycott! Click here if you cannot see embedded video.

"Catholyc" Volunteer Network's Love Affairs With Dissidents
You might recall that we became aware of the Catholic Volunteer Network's strange fascination with dissident CINOs last summer. At that time, they had planned to host an "awards dinner" at the Franciscan Monastery in Washington DC. Their keynote speaker was Chris Matthews. We made clear that we were going to picket if there was no public announcement of the cancellation of Matthews as speaker. Well, lo and behold, we showed up - but the "awards dinner" didn't! It seems that they were too cowardly to face us. More can be found here at my various posts regarding that episode.
One might have thought they'd learn some lessons. I thank my colleague at A Washington DC Catholic for pointing out this year's planned smooch-up to a dissident Catholic. As he pointed out, at least they aren't planning to desecrate a Catholic location, but the CINO in question is Cokie Roberts. I'm not certain yet about a protest as there are other unrelated matters for me to consider.
If you saw my comments on the other blogger's piece, you might recall my remarks about the CVN's 2011 National Conference. Here we have a triple-header of "catholyc" dissidents. We start off with Rev James Martin, S.J., columnist for the ultra-liberal "America" magazine. Here's an article from him voicing sympathy for the destructive gay lifestyle.
I've written a considerable amount on Fr Richard Rohr. Please read it, along with the expanded posts and the links to other revelatory material. Please take note of his strange fascination with male nudity and the "emerging church movement".
Last but not least we have "Rev" Heidi Neumark. We can be grateful that she is not Catholic. The webpage of her Lutheran church in Manhattan gives us a glimpse into her mindsets. She is working on "challenging the Christian Right from the heart of the Gospel." That's nice. Is there a companion effort to challenge the "Christian Left" regarding their silence and complicity when it comes to the evils of contraception, abortion and gay behaviors? I didn't think so, either.
So there you have it: the none-too-stellar lineup of "keynote speakers" at the CVN National Conference in Philadelphia. I call upon faithful Catholics in the vicinity of Philadelphia to stand up to this dissident gab-fest that is scheduled to blight their city.

USCCB Weighs In On Budget Issues, Encourages Raising Our Taxes
The USCCB is getting quite blatant about their left-wing proclivities; they are barely couching their goals in sanctimoneous language anymore. It might as well be they who are sitting across the table from John Boehner rather than Reid, Pelosi et al, as they say pretty much the same thing (obligatory nod to the unborn aside). Read this letter that they released yesterday. By the way - should the link mysteriously "break", please advise via comment, as I have taken the precaution of saving it to my computer.
Pay attention to the part in bold. Get a load of the "shared sacrifice". Particularly notice the part about "raising adequate revenues". You know what that means, right? That's thinly-disguised language for "taxing our livelihoods away"! There are no revenues adequate for all the social engineering that these progressives (and I mean the USCCB!) want to foist on this country. They think that it is the task of the Federal government to take care of all the world's poor. Ladies and gentlemen, even if it were constitutional (and it isn't!) it isn't a realistic expectation to place on the US government - nor its citizens via "raising adequate revenues".
Let's get down to brass tacks here. The USCCB fools no one. All they are doing is trying to give some "moral veneer" to the profligate spending of their Democratic taskmasters and moral cover to levy astronomical taxes upon US citizens. This letter that they released yesterday is a disgraceful, utter sham.

Gazette Publishes Pro-Life Letters Regarding Article About Front-Line Activism
Last week I speculated that the Gazette probably wouldn't publish pro-life letters that contradicted the obvious slant of their article and editorial regarding our presence in front of baby-killing centers. I'm pleased to discover that I was incorrect about that. In today's edition appears three letters that lend some balance to earlier-stated opinion. I will link to them.
Here is the first letter. Here is the second letter. Finally, here is the third letter. Enjoy!

Contraception - A Major Linchpin In The Culture Of Death
On June 25 as he spoke to men whom he ordained, Cardinal Robert Sarah warned them that priests who fail to oppose the breakdown of morality in society, particularly in regards to life, sexual ethics and family life, risk the condemnation of God. The Lifesite News piece links to his entire homily.
It is worth a serious read by all, but especially by our clergy. I think it is directly relevant to current events in Maryland. I believe His Eminence would place abortion and the upcoming fight for marriage in the category of things requiring the most strident opposition by the clergy. Conversely, I do not believe he would hold support of the DREAM Act in such regard.
Today, in addition to being the Feast Day of St James the Greater, is the 43rd anniversary of the publication of Humanae Vitae. Yet if one were to read it today for the first time, it would seem that the document was written only five years ago, as so many social ills predicted by Pope Paul VI have been made manifest. To illustrate the pivotal role that the acceptance of contraception (a thing of mortal sin) has had in the degradation of our culture, Real Catholic TV has produced another episode of its Catholic Investigative Agency. It is below. Please watch it - it's a long one, but well worth your time. Click here if you can't see embedded video.

If A Squggly Light Bulb Breaks...
We're seeing them in all the stores now - the squiggly light bulbs that are supposed to be so "earth-friendly". Heck, we were even asked to make them part of the "lenten carbon fast"! Never mind that they're filled with mercury - the poisonous substance.
Light bulbs break from time to time. When the incandescent bulbs break, no big deal. When these squggly things break, because of the mercury, it's a big deal!
Watch this little tongue-in-cheek clip for instructions - and insight into the "carbon-footprint" envirowhacko mentality and its resulting havoc. Click here if you can't see embedded video.

Obamacare To Ban Asthma Inhalers
So much for "thinking of the children". Primatene Mist inhalers will soon be discontinued because they "damage the environment". Forget about people with asthma simply trying to breathe. Bowing to his envirowhacko task-masters, the Messiah Most Miserable and his Minions Most Mindless values polar bears and ozone layers above human beings.
None of this is surprising, though. To see what Real Catholic TV has learned about environmentalism, click here. For additional information, go to the search box at the top left, and search for terms such as "environmnentalism", "global warming", "climate change". It will be eye-opening.
Sister Carol Keehan! Are you paying attention? Do you care? Is the Pen of Perfidy worth it? Thanks for nothing!

Rick Perry - Not A Pro-Life Candidate For President
Governor Rick Perry is being touted by many as being a viable GOP candidate to oppose Obama in the 2012 race. While I applaud his stance on the defunding of Planned Parenthood, I don't believe he's the best candidate on the GOP side.
He first caused concern with his executive order requiring 12-yr-old girls to get the HPV vacccination. He causes additional concern for me when he stated that the recent New York "gay marriage" nonsense was "fine by him". In so doing, he cited the 10th Amendment of the Constitution. Well, the Preamble of the Constitution states that an objective of the Constitution is to promote the "general welfare". If Mr. Perry is oblivious to the fact that the protection of marriage as a union between a man and a woman is vital to the "general welfare", then in my humble opinion, he disqualifies himself from occupying the highest elected office in this country. Michele Bachmann made a similar statement on "states' rights", but then she also stated that she would support a constitutional amendment to define the institution of marriage as being between a man and a woman. I can respect her response, but not his.
