Pacifists, Ecologists and Ecumenists: Antichrist at Work
"The retired Archbishop of Bologna, Cardinal Giacomo Biffi, says the Antichrist presents himself as a “pacifist, ecologist, and ecumenist.” He said this in the Lenten Retreat he finished preaching on March 3rd to Benedict XVI and the leaders of the Roman Curia....."

New research shows effectiveness of natural family planning method
The Catholic News Agency reports....
"German scientists are now confirming what many Catholic couples have known for some time – the natural family planning method known as STM works....."

No Aid to AIDS Groups That Promote Prostitution
Another good article from Family Research Council.
"In a commonsense ruling, the D.C. Court of Appeals sided with the Bush
administration yesterday saying that the president can deny AIDS funding to groups that condone prostitution and sex trafficking. The case, now a year and a half old, was brought by DKT International, Inc., a family planning group that, among other things, provides condoms to Vietnamese sex workers. When DKT refused to sign a pledge that it would honor the President's anti-trafficking policies, the administration denied it taxpayer support. A lower court sided with DKT, stating that the nonprofit's First Amendment rights were violated because the funding conditions "insisted that the groups 'parrot' the government's position on prostitution." Fortunately, a three-judge panel reversed the decision and restored President Bush's authority to fund only those organizations that communicate the U.S. government's opposition to sex trafficking. "
"Raising Kaine on HPV" from the FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL
"Although headlines are rampant with the suggestion that one in four women (between the ages of 14 and 59) is infected with HPV, the real shock of the study, released in the Journal of the American Medical Association, was somewhat buried. Lost in the panic surrounding the high HPV-infection rate is a footnote that should cause even greater concern for Gardasil advocates. Only 3.4% of the women studied had an infection that the new vaccine protects against. While many are touting the epidemic as justification for mandating the shots, the reality is that Merck's vaccine still leaves women vulnerable to a significant number of HPV strains, including those that cause 30% of the cases of cervical cancer. This news should give pause to Gov. Tim Kaine (D-VA) as he considers whether or not to sign a bill that would require the shots for schoolgirls. In an interview, Kaine said that he may try to amend the bill to include a more "generous opt-out provision" for parents. However, as FRC has said all along, the burden should be on the government--not parents--to convince Americans about the need for the vaccine. FRC is contacting Gov. Kaine and asking him to
reassess his idea of expanding the opt-out criteria and instead promote an
opt-in measure that would affirm parents' rights. In the meantime, legislators should ponder the greater cultural crisis of experimentation and promiscuity that created the epidemic in the first place. Along with the option of vaccination, states should educate children on an even better way to fight HPV--abstinence and monogamy."

"IN GOD WE TRUST"
Recently I posted the following:
"THE U.S. MINT DOES NOT HAVE "IN GOD WE TRUST" ON IT. I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE REST OF YOU, BUT I WON'T BE USING THIS COIN, NOR WILL I ACCEPT IT IN ANY FINANCIAL TRANSACTION."
Apparently the original information I had received to this effect was incorrect. At the suggestion of a parishioner I went to US Mint.gov and discovered the words "in God we trust" are indeed on the new $1 dollar coing. The words are inscribed not on the front or back, but on the sides of the new coins.

My apologies to the US Mint.
SHAME ON ME!!!
"Mea culpa! Mea culpa! Mea maxima culpa!"
