WE SPOKE! ‘It was wonderful to be part of all of the activities in March, Last month we called people to action and they responded! A big thanks and kudos to all who came: out to participate in the Stand Up for Religious Freedom rallies in Reading and Allentown and for being part of the 40 Days ‘for Life Campaign and Prayer Vigil at Reading, Planned Parenthood (and also at the Allemown ‘Women’s Center where many new face were ‘observed praying). If was especially inspiring to ‘have a priest lead the charge at the rally in Allentown. You can hear Fr. Ardinger on You tube (see p.4) and listen to the strong words he relayed from the bishops of the country. The next few months will be equally busy with ‘the important upcoming primary election on April 24. Everyone needs to get out and vote in this ‘crucial election, especially registered Republicans who will be voting for the presidential candidate who will oppose Pres. Obama in the Fall. He certainly has stirred things up with his insurance mandate to cover sterilizations, contraceptives and abortions. [f Catholics, and all Christians, aren't awake by now, they never will be. If you'te still not feeling that something very serious is amiss, then ready Judy Brown's new book, The Broken Path, How Catholic Bishops Got Last in the Weeds of American Politics.

Catholics have a conversion of heart that helps us sec what we've become - that we haven't just ‘assimilated’ to American culture, but that we've also been absorbed and bleached and digested by it~ then we'll fail in our duties to a new generation and a new electarate. And a real Catholic presence in American life will continue to weaken and disappear.” ‘You can order the book from Amazon.com, or from the American Life League.April, 2012 Above: 40: Days for Life Spring Canpaign and Prayer vigil at Reading Planned Pagentbood wis 4 tame of prayee, witness and ‘music While we didn't cover all of the 360 hours for the vigil, it was still a great time of prayer and even of exercising our First Amendment Rights to pray om a public sidewalk.
