Keep Speaking The Truth - Even If You're Tired Of Doing So

As you read this, you may rest assured that I speak to myself as well as you.

I won't say too much on this matter for Mundabor has already spoken well of this topic.  Some are becoming discouraged from speaking the truth, particularly about the pope, for they believe they are accomplishing nothing.  The person to whom Mundabor refers is one such individual.  While folks understand the problems coming from the Vatican, they are allowing themselves to become jaded and to retreat in silence.  With all due respect, this is unacceptable.

I will echo Mundabor's exhortation not to abandon the public forum - be they in your social/work circles or on social media.  Your comments do matter!  It is well worth the effort to type your thoughts into the com-boxes!  If you have forsaken social media (such as facebook, twitter, etc) as tools for proclaiming the truth of Jesus and His Holy Roman Catholic Church, return post haste!

Pro-Life Christians Targeted For Voicing Beliefs

In addition to the post from yesterday regarding the surveillance of the Fairfax 40 Days for Life, there are other incidents of pro-life and pro-family Christians suffering retribution for merely voicing their convictions.  I will give the links to the relevant stories on other sites.

On September 27th, a pro-life group called the Survivors were arrested for standing on a public sidewalk as they shared pro-life truth to a high school.  They were not on school property, but the sidewalk.  Read the Lifenews account.

Yesterday, in Ontario, five pro-life college students were arrested when they attempted to set up a pro-life display at Carleton University.  See the Lifesite News article here, along with the youtube clip.

These are just the latest incidents this week.  Fellow pro-lifers and Christians, if we don't start using our First Amendment rights to stand for our beliefs, we will find these rights stripped from us with impugnity, as the right to life is brazenly stripped from unborn children.
