By John-Henry Westen OTTAWA, November 23, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Last year the Harper Conservative Government opposed a bill to recognize the life of a child in the womb when a violent act is committed against a pregnant mother.  However a new version of the bill proposed this year by another MP has at least tacit approval from the Conservative leadership, as evidenced by an internal memo sent to Conservative Members of Parliament. LifeSiteNews.com has learned of an advisory memo sent to all Conservative Members by the Prime Minister’s Office regarding The Unborn Victims of Crime Act, Bill C-484, a private […]

By John-Henry Westen DOMEIKAVA, Lithuania, November 23, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – 52 years ago today abortion was legalized in all of the Soviet Union.  Pro-lifers in Lithuania are marking the date with prayers and a memorial service. The bell of the Martyrs of Lithuania Catholic Church in Domeikava will toll 52 times prior to the offering of Mass for the victims of abortion. Following the Mass, a burial service for an aborted baby will be held near the church’s oak monument erected in memory of babies who lost their lives through abortion.  The memorial day is organized by Father Robertas Skrinskas […]

By Matthew Cullinan Hoffman   November 23, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the ultraliberal Anglican prelate who played a leading role in the fight against the South African apartheid system, is now complaining about the Anglican Communion’s “obsession” with sexuality.   Letting loose a string of liberal rhetorical tropes, the aging prelate opined in a recent interview with the BBC that “our world is facing problems—poverty, HIV and AIDS—a devastating pandemic, and conflict”. “God must be weeping looking at some of the atrocities that we commit against one another,” said Tutu.  “In the face of all that, our Church, […]

Prominent theologian says Anglican Church of Canada "poisoned" by a liberal theology

By Hilary White   ROME/LONDON November 23, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A key Vatican official has called the lack of public funding for Catholic schools in the US “a disaster.” Zenon Cardinal Grocholewski, head of the Vatican’s Congregation for Catholic Education, which includes seminaries, told a Vatican news conference that the US government should do more to allow parents to choose the educational option they desire for their children.   The cardinal, while presenting a new document, “Educating Together in Catholic Schools,” criticized the US system saying, “The state does not recognize full democracy for Catholic schools.” In America, Grocholewski said, the financial […]

By Matthew Cullinan Hoffman   ASUNCIÓN, November 23, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The National Congress of Paraguay has rejected far-reaching legislation to protect the undefined practice of “sexual choice” and to distribute contraceptives free of charge to the population.    The bill, which also would have banned “discrimination” against homosexuals, and provided “family planning orientation” at government expense, was rejected 26-13 by a bloc of legislators from the conservative Colorado and Beloved Fatherland parties last week after being introduced two years ago.   Pro-life forces cheered the defeat of the measure, observing that the legislation would have posed a threat to […]

A government circular says families who have followed the policy will receive “preferential treatment” including housing, health, education and poverty-alleviation benefits.    China View News reports that the circular promised families with only one or two children will receive government help with house renovation, training programs, land rearrangement, introduction of new technology and relocation subsidies.     China’s One Child policy has been expanded in the face of […]

Americans are a grateful people, ever mindful of the many ways we have been blessed.

Our country was founded by men and women who realized their dependence on God and were humbled by His providence and grace. The early explorers and settlers who arrived in this land gave thanks for God’s protection and for the extraordinary natural abundance they found. Since the first National Day of Thanksgiving was proclaimed by President George Washington, Americans have […]

By Matthew Cullinan Hoffman   November 21, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – In a recent address to the bishops of Kenya, Pope Benedict XVI denounced the myriad “agencies”, many of which are international groups associated with the United Nations, that are promoting abortion in Africa. “It is a matter of great concern that the globalized secular culture is exerting an increasing influence on local communities as a result of campaigns by agencies promoting abortion,” the Pope said, speaking to the bishops who were visiting him in the Vatican. “This direct destruction of an innocent human life can never be justified, however difficult the […]

Local Catholics stunned by move that appears designed to limit influence of new, faithful Archbishop

Editorial by John-Henry Westen QUEBEC CITY, November 21, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – An Open Letter to Quebec Catholics by Cardinal Marc Ouellet published today in Quebec newspapers and on the website of the Archdiocese of Quebec has caused a media uproar in the French-speaking province.  Cardinal Ouellet, both the Archbishop of Quebec and the Primate of Canada, apologized for historical attitudes of some Catholics which promoted “discrimination against women and homosexuals.” He noted also that those “narrow attitudes of some Catholics, before 1960, have promoted Anti-Semitism, racism,” and “indifference to the First Nations.” The open letter comes in response to an […]

Board has come under intense criticism from some quarters for its decision

OTTAWA, November 21, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Ken Epp, Conservative Member of Parliament for Edmonton-Sherwood Park, introduced in the House of Commons today a Private Members Bill that would allow criminal charges to be laid in the death or injury of an unborn child when the child’s mother is the victim of a crime. “This is all about protecting the choice of a woman to give birth to her child,” said Mr. Epp. “It is about condemning the actions of those who would take it upon themselves to criminally assault a pregnant woman and the child she wants and loves, destroying […]

Cardinal also said Catholics voting for pro-abortion politicians "borders on scandal"

By Thaddeus M. Baklinski VATICAN, November 21, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Pope Benedict XVI has again come out with strong statements condemning the culture of death and encouraging scientists, researchers, medical personnel and pastoral workers to respect the value of life in the face of growing demands to euthanize the elderly sick. The Pope expressed his concern to participants of the 22nd international conference promoted by the Pontifical Council for Health Care, held last week, which focused on the pastoral care of elderly sick people. In his address he described “today’s mentality of efficiency” which views the elderly infirm as a […]

By Hilary White   TORONTO, November 21, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Two scientific studies published in peer-review journals have made headlines around the world with the announcement that embryo-like stem cells can be made out of skin cells. The announcement has media and commentators speculating that the discovery will end the demand for human embryo cloning and “spare” embryos from in vitro fertilization treatments.    The studies, published within a week of each other in the scientific journals Science and Cell, are by two teams of researchers working on the same problem from Japan and Wisconsin who say they have reprogrammed mature […]

Dear readers, I am just back from a much needed holiday in beautiful Myrtle Beach SC, and wish all of our American readers a happy and blessed Thanksgiving for tomorrow. Further developments in the news on the “ethical” stem cell research have again given us pause for concern.  The main researcher involved has encouraged the continued use of human embryos in research.  Thus the concerns expressed by Dr. John Shea should be closely examined. You’ll be encouraged by strong statements from the Pope and Boston’s Cardinal O’Malley in today’s news.  And be sure to read our take on Quebec Cardinal […]

By Steve Jalsevac   BELFAST, Northern Ireland, November 20, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com)– The Associated Press reports today that the age of sexual consent in Northern Ireland will be lowered to 16 from the current 17 by the British government. The stated intent is to bring the Irish age in line with that in the rest of the United Kingdom. The new age will also now match Ireland’s current legal marriage age of 16.   Britain’s criminal justice minister in Northern Ireland, Paul Goggins, has stated there will be a two month consultation in Northern Ireland after which a bill modernizing sexual […]

Dear Readers,   The United Nations has thankfully been forced to admit that its AIDS statistics have been greatly exaggerated. More important is that the UN must now be encouraged, in the light of the revelations of this debacle, and it can at the very least be called that, to admit its condom strategy has also been very wrong – and deadly.   As the whistleblowing international AIDS scientists have emphasized, behaviour change, not condom programs, has been the greatest factor associated with dramatic declines in the AIDS rates of certain African nations. But, there is no money to be […]

By Steve Jalsevac LONDON, November 19, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Since it officially called for international decriminalization of abortion last August, Amnesty International (AI) has received heavy criticism for betraying its mandate by acting against the human right to life of unborn children. The criticism appears to have had no effect upon the organization leadership according to an interview with AI’s United Kingdom head Kate Allen in today’s The Guardian. The Guardian report focuses solely on Catholic opposition to the Amnesty abortion policy.   Allen tells The Guardian she was “disappointed that the Catholic church has categorised us as a pro-abortion […]

Indeed, the strict regulation of language is proving to be a major front for homosexual activists around the world as it has been for other ideologies that have sought to propagandise societies to accept radical social change agendas.   Immediately following the passage of same-sex “marriage legislation in Spain, the government ordered that the terms “mother” and “father” were to be replaced […]

David MacDonald alleges in his complaint to the Canadian Human Rights Commission that he was “discriminated against and harassed based on my religious beliefs” by the Treasury Board who refused his request to re-direct his union dues to avoid PSAC’s support for “same-sex marriage.”   MacDonald is an employee of Industry Canada and was elected as President […]

Dear Readers,   It seems there’s never a dull moment.   The Uruguayan situation and Senate trashing of the Mexico City policy are the latest that cause us to marvel at how abortion forces are never satisfied with the millions of unborn children killed every year around the world. They want more and more dead babies and sterility and justify any means to force abortion on every nation and community on earth.   The world de-populationeugenics movement is very alive and well. Very likely that is what is really driving them. It cannot possibly be women’s rights or “choice”. There […]

By Hilary White   LONDON, November 5, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – After two attempts by doctors to end his life in the womb, Gabriel Jones refused to die and was born along with his twin brother.    When Rebecca and Mark Jones’ twin boys were at 20 weeks gestation, doctors told them that a scan showed Gabriel had an enlarged heart and was only half the size of his brother. They said that Gabriel’s condition could threaten the life of his brother and that he was unlikely to survive outside the womb. Gabriel and Ieuan are now both seven months old, weighing respectively, […]

Alaska Gov. calls Alaskan Supreme Court decision "outrageous"; will file for rehearing

By Hilary White   TRENTON, New Jersey, November 5, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The state of New Jersey has passed a law denying the conscientious objection right of pharmacists, won in other states through lengthy court battles, to refrain from dispensing abortifacient and contraceptive drugs.  “Discussions of morals and matters of conscience are admirable, but should not come into play when subjective beliefs conflict with objective medical decisions,” said state Sen. Joseph Vitale, D-Middlesex, a bill sponsor.   The decision comes just days after Pope Benedict XVI gave his support to pharmacists worldwide who reject the culture of death in their profession. “Pharmacists […]

By Thaddeus M. Baklinski   DETROIT, November 5, 2007, (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Eparchy of St. Thomas the Apostle in Detroit, which is the Chaldean Catholic diocese for the eastern half of the United States, played a significant role in the successful boycott forcing Miller Brewing of Milwaukee to agree not to support events offensive to religious beliefs.   Miller was boycotted when it became known that the company was helping to fund the Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco, an event organized by San Francisco’s homosexual community to “celebrate” sado-masochistic sexual deviancy that is a part of the homosexual subculture.

Former UN Aids scientist charges UN ignoring its report indicating epidemic has stabilized or is in decline because of behavior changes

By Hilary White   DUBLIN, November 1, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Irish coalition government is opposing a Labour party Civil Partnerships bill by introducing its own legislation that is likely to offer homosexual partners a status equivalent to marriage.    The Labour party of the Irish Parliament, or Dáil, introduced legislation last February that proposed to create officially recognised same-sex civil partnerships in the same way as the Civil Partnership Act did in the UK, two years ago. While 86.8 per cent of the Irish population claims to be Roman Catholic, adherence to the traditional religious beliefs has declined severely in […]
