Final Comment on Broken Window Series

Dear Readers,   Once in a while we send out our Special Reports to you because readers have requested them for their records and want to forward them to others.   This series, primarily regarding the Catholic Church, was written to address a major factor in the advancement of the anti-life, anti-family forces – the negligence and weak response and even deep complicity in that advancement by Catholics who have been very badly shepherded in recent decades.   The Popes have thankfully been courageously outspoken, but they have generally been ignored on these issues by many of their clergy and […]

By Samantha Singson NEW YORK, NY, November 28, 2008 (C-FAM) –  International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) has just released its annual performance report for 2007-2008 in which it boasts of pushing its abortion agenda in traditionally pro-life countries throughout Africa, Latin America and the Islamic world. IPPF asserts that “access to safe legal abortion is a public health and human rights imperative” and that the organization’s goal is to achieve “a universal recognition of a woman’s right to choose and have access to safe abortion, and a reduction in the incidence of unsafe abortion.” Advocacy trumps accuracy in a number […]

UK Catholic Adoption Agencies Voluntarily Refuse Religious Opt-Out Clause for Homosexual Adoption

By Hilary White ROME, November 28, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Catholic adoption agencies in the UK have refused to employ a legal opt-out built into the government’s Sexual Orientation Regulations (SOR), willingly opting for secularization instead, a British legal expert has said. In an interview with LifeSiteNews.com, Neil Addison, an expert in religious discrimination law, said that the reason Catholic adoption agencies in Britain are closing or secularizing is because they are not interested in remaining Catholic. Moreover, he said, the bishops have been complicit in their unwillingness to fight for the Catholic nature of their agencies. The crisis over the […]

Dear editors, I am not a Roman Catholic but a conservative evangelical Christian. Nevertheless I appreciate the information you are providing on many of the important issues facing us today and your comments on these issues.  In reading articles such as Hilary White’s of Nov. 25th on “Gender Mainstreaming,” the question that is foremost is why?

The homosexual community is thought to be no more than 3%. In […]

Our European reporter, Hilary White, has moved from England to Rome and so we now have a Rome reporter. Her report on the Pope’s warnings about abuses related to the organ transplant industry is a crucial one. […]

Connecticut Voters Demur on Holding Constitutional Convention to Address Same-sex “Marriage”

By Jonquil Frankham CONNECTICUT, November 7, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – On Tuesday, Connecticut voters decided against holding a convention to amend the state’s constitution, which could have offered marriage supporters a chance to ban same-sex “marriage” from the state.
