By Hilary White LONDON, November 28, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The weekend edition of the London Times carries a report that provides insight into what pro-lifers identify as the moral vacuity of media representation of abortion. In a story on “botched” abortions the Times reports on the latest British medical scandal: that some of the intended victims survive. A government agency has published a report titled, “Confidential Enquiry into Maternal and Child Health (CEMACH),” that shows, to the horror of the British medical establishment, that up to 50 babies survive abortion every year in Britain. The Royal College of Obstetricians and […]

By Hilary White ST. LOUIS, November 28, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Archbishop Raymond Burke of St. Louis has again stepped up to the pro-life plate missed by many elsewhere in the Catholic hierarchy. Burke ordered the priests of his St. Louis Archdiocese to preach on Sunday about why embryonic stem cell research (ESCR) cannot be allowed and to instruct the Catholic faithful not to support it. The direction is in response to a petition about to circulate that would amend the state constitution to protect ESCR. In a move that is bound to stir up the usual secularist suspects with screeches […]

By John-Henry Westen BOSTON, November 28, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Boston Archbishop Sean O’Malley wrote a pastoral letter last week calling on Catholics to show true love to persons with homosexual tendencies. This is done he said by telling them that homosexual acts are sinful, he said. Otherwise, the bishop continued, we are dangerously “deceiving people.” After clarifying that the Catholic Church does not tolerate unjust discrimination towards persons with homosexual tendencies, the leader of the Catholic Church in Boston reminded Catholics that although Jesus did not condemn the woman caught in adultery, he did however – after saving her life […]

By Hilary White and John-Henry Westen ROME, November 28, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The annual Vatican Christmas concert will not feature condom-supporter, Brazilian rock singer Daniela Mercury. The concert, partially sponsored by the Vatican, is to raise funds for the Jesuit missions, including their work with AIDS sufferers. The agency promoting the concert said that they had received a letter from the Jesuits saying the singer’s support of condoms in the battle against AIDS was “against the moral doctrine of the church,”  Eligio Ermeti of the Prime Time Promotions agency. “We received a letter from the Jesuits asking us to remove […]

By Terry Vanderheyden WASHINGTON, November 25, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A Southern Baptist leader disagrees with the claim of an anti-poverty campaigner who said that poverty was the number one “inhumane” problem afflicting the US. “I don’t think the most damaging issue in this country today is poverty,” said Richard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, according to a Tennessean.com report. “There’s not a single day that goes by, for the last 32 years (since Roe vs. Wade) that I have not personally grieved and prayed for the 4,000-some odd babies, disproportionately African-American babies, I […]
