BY LifeSiteNews.com TORONTO, January 19, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In addition to writing Prime Minister Paul Martin on the subject, Toronto Cardinal Aloysius Ambrozic has directed all priests in the Toronto Archdiocese to make his letter available to parishioners, and to include prayer petitions on protecting marriage “at all Sunday Masses from now until Easter 2005.”  In a memo dated January 17, the Cardinal also encourages priests to allow a couple to make a statement at the end of Mass about getting politically active on the issue.  In a separate letter to the faithful, the Cardinal pleads for action.  “As your Archbishop, I would ask you to consider taking an active role to defend the traditional meaning of marriage,” says the letter.  Cardinal Ambrozic stresses that Catholics “have a duty to make our voices heard in the public realm,” and to that end asks the faithful to begin “writing, e-mailing or faxing your Member of Parliament and sending a copy to the Prime Minister Paul Martin.”  The Cardinal also asks for prayers for Parliamentarians since “They have a very serious decision to make, which will affect future generations.”  jhw http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/toronto-cardinal-gives-direction-to-priests-and-faithful-on-supporting-trad/
