The following is excerpted from a LifeSiteNews.com story:
Dr. Warren Hern, one of the last abortionists willing to perform very late-term abortions in the United States, has written published works describing man as a “malignant eco-tumor” destroying the earth.
Esquire magazine reports in a story entitled “the Last Abortion Doctor,” that Hern, the director of the Boulder Abortion Clinic since 1975, argued in a work called Urban Malignancy: Similarity in the Fractal Dimensions of Urban Morphology and Malignant Neoplasms that growing human populations act like a “malignant ecotumor.”

Following are selected excerpts from an article titled Bishops Wrong: Healthcare Not a Right by Father Michael Orsi. Thank you Father Orsi for exposing this latest example of misrepresentation by the USCCB.
The USCCB needs to be either reformed or disbanded before they can cause any more harm. I vote for the latter.
Recently, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development released a statement made to the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate stating that “health care is not a privilege but a right and a requirement to protect the life and dignity of each person.” They couldn’t be more wrong.

The following is excerpted from Deal Hudson’s
article at InsideCatholic.com:
The Congress and the White House have little to fear from the bishops’ official statements opposing the abortion provisions in the health care bill. Unlike with President Barack Obama’s appearance at Notre Dame, there is no chorus of bishops’ voices rising in protest against the bill; most of the Catholics in Congress support it, and mainstream Catholic organizations like Catholic Charities USA and the Catholic Health Association — which some assume speak for the bishops — have also voiced their support.
The overall impression given by Church leadership thus far is that universal health care coverage is so badly needed that they are not willing to endanger the legislation by protesting too loudly against abortion coverage.
Unfortunately, Mr. Hudson is right. Once again, the abortion issue is relegated to the back burner by our leadership.

The following is excerpted from a story in the Oakland Tribune:
Three women in capri pants lounge on wicker chairs in an enclosed porch within sight of the sea. One has pierced ears, another has dyed hair, the third is wearing a T-shirt with a Winston cigarette logo.
They don’t look like nuns.
But the dress code changed significantly after Vatican II.
They don’t look like nuns, indeed. No wonder the Vatican is investigating women’s religious orders in the United States. They sure have their work cut out for them.

The following is excerpted from a story on Newsblaze.com:
Pope Benedict XVI does not want the faithful receiving Communion in their hand nor does he want them standing to receive Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. According to Vatican liturgist, Monsignor Guido Marini, the pope is trying to set the stage for the whole church as to the proper norm for receiving Communion for which reason communicants at his papal Masses are now asked to kneel and receive on the tongue.
