Italian Priest Accused of Kidnapping Prostitutes

Huh?!

"Priest Cesare Lodeserto, the former head of an Italian foundation that
looks after illegal immigrants, has been making front-page news in Italy since
he was arrested last weekend over accusations he had mistreated Romanian
prostitutes."

Again...huh?!

EVIL -FOR ALL the WORLD TO SEE?

I am so grateful that I was not given the opportunity to view this interview last night! Thank GOD for this, for I would have stayed up all night long from my stomach turning!
I will not give up my peace on this either. NOR my HOPE OR FAITH! GOD IS BIGGER THAN MICHAEL!

Transcript: Michael Schiavo on 'Nightline'
(GET A PAIL OR GARBAGE CAN)

BURY: "Your wife's family and their supporters have been arguing in the most graphic terms that what you are going to allow happen on Friday, in their words, is in effect condemning your wife to a cruel death by starvation. I'd like you to address that charge from them."
SCHIAVO: "That's one of their soapboxes they've been on for a long time. Terry will not be starved to death. Her nutrition and
hydration will be taken away. This happens across this country every day. Death through removing somebody's nutrition is very painless. That has been brought to the courts many of times. Doctors have come in and testified. It is a very
painless procedure.Terry can't — she has no cortex left. She doesn't feel pain. She doesn't feel hunger. So what's going to happen is slowly — her potassium and her electrolytes will slowly diminish and she will drift off to a nice little sleep and eventually pass on to be with God."

This info from a friend (thank you!): Did you know that Michael Schiavo is a medical professional? That's right -- he's not a construction worker or a bank teller, he's a currently-licensed REGISTERED NURSE (Fla. license #9164785 exp. 4/30/05) and a REGISTERED RESPIRATORY THERAPIST (Fla. license #5965 exp. 5/31/05). This information was obtained from a Lexis-Nexis public records search. He, of all people, should know that Terri's death by starvation and dehydration will be excruciatingly painful.

Prayers and ACTION! That's A GOOD PLAN!

Priestly formation must lead to understanding of ‘spiritual fatherhood’, says bishop

The question is finally raised-“Have we adopted a false sense of privacy by which we do not confront, discipline or visit with our spiritual children?” he asked. “Do we abandon our spiritual children by defining our call to the priesthood as a 9-to-5 profession, with an attitude of ‘Don't call me after hours?’”

I have a vocation as a wife and mother. A priest's vocation is well defined by his parish as he is the "father" of a parish family. I know that because of my vocation I am to accept ALL moments of "service"-walking the floor waiting for a teen to come home, attending to a sick child, preparing and feeding my family--this is MY vocation. I can not at a mere whim decide that I need a vacation nor can I decide that I shall not meet the needs of my family. I am ready 24 hours a day to take care of my family.

Many priests have succumb to this thinking. I pray that all priests will accept the graces and prayers that Catholics are offering around the country in churches and chapels before the Blessed Sacrament. That they will be refreshed and renewed by these prayers and sacrifice. We continue to pray and offer our support as always.

Archbishop Sheen, Terri, & the Francisan Friars-We need a Miracle

We need a miracle-hopefully Archbishop Sheen can help Terri!

Franciscan Friars praying to Archbishop Sheen for miracle for Schiavo

We will PRAY!
The Friars have the following prayer for all of us to pray:
Eternal Father, You alone grant us every blessing in Heaven and on earth, through the redemptive mission of Your Divine Son, Jesus Christ, and by the working of the Holy Spirit. If it be according to Your Will, glorify Your servant, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, by granting the favor I now request through his powerful intercession. Lord, grant that Terri Shiavo’s life be spared and grant her a healing that the world may know the value of every life.

Businessman Offers $1 Million to Keep Terri Schiavo Alive

Businessman Offers $1 Million to Keep Terri Schiavo Alive

I don't know if I pray that Michael takes the money or not because the thought of it is so horrendous. If he does take it -what does this say about him? something that we already knew?
One third of teenagers have used morning after pill

Prayers of support and protection are needed for Father Nuno Serras Pereira a "Portuguese Catholic priest (who) will be launching a public campaign, with advertisements in the Portuguese press, where he will indicate his refusal to give communion to Catholics who use contraceptives, who seek the assistance of science to conceive a child or those who are in agreement with the country’s actual legislation on abortion."

Father Nuno Serras Pereira explains: “Being unable to enter into personal contact with all parties involved, I inform all Catholics who have advocated, contributed or promoted the death of innocent human beings will be informed of their incapacity to receive Holy Communion”.

Cardinal says some officials to be denied honors

It'll be interesting to see what will actually take place around the country at our Catholic Universities as they prepare for commencement speeches too.
This comment by the Boston Globe gives me suspicion:

In an interview before his speech, McCarrick said he will argue that politicians who disagree with church teachings should be allowed to speak at Catholic colleges but should not receive honorary degrees.


Should be allowed to still speak at Catholic colleges? Really? Our children (at the expense of parent's hard earned money to pay the high tutition at these colleges) should have their ears and minds subjected to their speeches? At the risk of having their own souls touched by these people?

I hope and pray that there's more information about this interview.

The coming crackdown on blogging

So does this mean that when the 2008 Presidential Election takes place that I won't be able to blog about what's happening because it may be considered a campaign "blog"? And therefore considered a campaign contribution? Oh my gosh! Then I won't be able to step in and help the candidate I think would be strongest to defeat "Bill-ary"! Get ready...no more free-speech on the internet!

US Has Not Backed Down on Pro-Life Stance at UN Meeting
'Clear and Convincing Evidence' of Schiavo's Wishes Challenged

My Letter to My Congressmen

Dear Congressmen,
Please make every effort to save the life of Florida resident Terri Schindler Schiavo from the inhumane treatment of starvation and dehydration-her slow death. Her executioners should be stopped at all costs!
Please work to pass Congressman David Weldon's (R-FL) legislation titled the Incapacitated Person's Legal Protection Act (Terri's Law). I expect you to pass this law at all COSTS as Terri is a defenseless disabled woman with many that support and love her even out side of her own family and friends. It is deplorable and an abomination to mankind and these United States that we as a country are allowing this to take place when we wouldn't allow the beached dolphins in the Florida Keys to go through this death--by dehydration and starvation.

Thank you for taking the time to address this serious moment in the history of the United States.

FIGHT FOR LIFE!

May God Bless your efforts and Terri.

Sincerely,
