Words of Life

HHS's new mandate for contraception/sterilization coverage … includes an incredibly narrow exemption for "religious employers" that protects almost no one. For example, a Catholic institution serving the poor and needy would have to fire its non-Catholic staff, refuse life-affirming care to non-Catholic people in need, and devote itself instead to "the inculcation of religious values" to qualify for the exemption. Individuals, insurers, and the sponsors of non-employee health plans (e.g., student health plans in Catholic schools) would have no exemption at all. This effort to corral religion exclusively into the sanctuaries of houses of worship betrays a complete ignorance of the role of religion in American life, and of Congress's long tradition of far more helpful laws on religious freedom.

- Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, Archbishop of Galveston-Houston and Chair of the USCCB Committee on Pro-Life

Activities, Letter to Congress, September 7, 2011, in support of the "Respect for Rights of Conscience Act"

For those who have committed sins against the sanctity of human life, especially those near death: that they may be reconciled with God ; w e pray to the Lord. Amen.

El nuevo mandato de HHS [Depto. de Salud y Servicios Humanos de EE.UU.] para la cobertura de anticoncepción / esterilización... incluye una exención increíblemente estrecha para los "empleadores religiosos" que protege a casi nadie. Por ejemplo, una institución católica al servicio de los pobres y necesitados tendría que despedir a su personal no católico, negar atención que protege la vida a los no católicos necesitados y dedicarse en cambio a "la inculcación de valores religiosos" para calificar para el exención. Los individuos, las aseguradoras y los patrocinadores de planes de salud para los que no son empleados (p. ej., planes de salud para estudiantes en escuelas católicas) no tendría absolutamente ninguna excepción. Este afán de acorralar la religión exclusivamente en los templos revela una ignorancia completa del papel de la religión en la vida estadounidense, y de la larga tradición en el Congreso de pasar leyes mucho más útiles a la libertad religiosa. - Cardenal Daniel DiNardo, Arzobispo de Galveston-Houston y presidente del Comité para Actividades

Pro- Vida de la USCCB, Cartas al Congreso, 7 de septiembre de 2011, para apoyar el proyecto de ley

"Respecto por los Derechos de Conciencia"

Por quienes han pecado contra la santidad de la vida humana, especialmente aquellos que están cerca de la muerte: para que puedan reconciliarse con Dios ; roguemos al Señor. Amen.

The Sunday Funnies, Jan. 28 & 29, 2011 Print E-mail

The Sunday Funnies

A poor man walking in the forest feels close enough to God to ask, "God, what is a million years to you?"

God replies, "My son, a million years to you is like a second to me."

The man asks, "God, what is a million dollars to you?"

God replies, "My son, a million dollars to you is less than a penny to me. It means almost nothing to me."

The man asks, "So God, can I have a million dollars?"

And God replies, "In a second."
