| | Headlines Why I Said No to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge: Embryonic Stem Cell Research Is Deadly By Deacon Keith A Fournier | August 27, 2014 I was approached to take the Ice Bucket Challenge to help bring an end to ALS. I said No. I have tried to explain why I said No in this article. I hope it is a helpful contribution in our public discussion. As a Christian, it is never easy to be seen as seemingly unwilling to support a noble cause such as the eradication of a debilitating disease. However, it is vital that we stand for for the fundamental and foundational moral truth which underlies every effort to end disease, the dignity of every human person, including embryonic human persons. Embryonic stem cell research always takes the life of an embryonic person by extracting the stem cells. One cannot do evil to accomplish good. Continue Reading...

How to Avoid Sliding into Pharisee-ism By Deacon Keith A Fournier | August 27, 2014 A priest friend once reminded me that not ALL the Pharisees were so blinded by their self-righteousness that they failed to recognize that the One whom they so often sought to correct was God Incarnate. And, of course, he was correct. The Pharisees were a genuine religious reform movement which sought to bring faithful Jews back to living the fullness of the Law of Moses in order to witness to the truth. However, the ones who the evangelists who penned the four Gospels used to communicate a danger which can afflict all of us, those ones were certainly blinded by their own self-righteousness. They succumbed to the sin of spiritual pride. That is why they are given to us as tutors. But by the grace of God, we can fall into the same trap. It happens before we know what has occurred.

By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | August 25, 2014 It's a shocking figure that has many questioning immigration laws. Britain's Ministry of Defense has confirmed that there are approximately 600 British Muslim service members in its armed forces of almost 200,000 people. In a momentous slap to the West - and decency in general, it's likely that there are now more British Muslims fighting for the Islamic State than for Britain's military. Continue Reading... WRONG ANALOGY? Cardinal outrages child sexual abuse victims - and truck drivers! By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | August 25, 2014 Australian survivors of clergy abuse are highly incensed by comments made by Cardinal George Pell. Speaking form the Vatican via video-link, Cardinal Pell gave an analogy which absolved the Catholic Church from culpability in past molestation cases. The comments left abuse survivors feeling hurt and offended - along with truck drivers as well! Continue Reading... Pope Francis briefed by envoy about deteriorating situation in Iraq By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM) | August 25, 2014 Back from a fact-finding mission on the deteriorating and ever worsening situation in Iraq, Cardinal Fernando Filoni said that Pope Francis "was really taken" by his description of Christians and other minorities who have been forced from their homes in north-western Iraq by the Islamic State terrorist group.

What Pope Francis said to make millions think again about abortion By Deacon Keith A Fournier | August 24, 2014 When Francis began his service from the chair of Peter, much hoopla filled the media about some alleged softening in the opposition of the Catholic Church to what are dismissively referred to as complicated "moral issues" such as abortion. Sadly, even some in the Catholic media pushed this nonsense narrative. Pope Francis is prophetically and profoundly Pro-Life. He is simply doing what the Bishop of Rome and successor of Peter should do, positioning the evil of abortion within its proper moral context, the failure to recognize the dignity of every single human person at every age and stage of life. Procured abortion is only one of the poisonous fruits from the rotted tree growing in the corrupted garden of a culture of death. Continue Reading...
