Dear readers,
In the United States, the monumental battle over the Democrat leadership's health care bill is reaching its climax. This has led to long present, but not addressed serious divisions within the Catholic Church to burst out into the open.
Liberal nuns and Catholic organizations are directly contradicting and challenging the authority and judgment of the bishops and undermining all the efforts undertaken by the Church leadership, the entire pro-life movement and pro-family Americans to stop the deadly bill.
Today you'll also read of an astonishing attack on LifeSiteNews and Campaign Life Coalition coming from Development & Peace, the official international development organization of the Canadian Bishops' Conference.
Our sure conviction on this controversy which has gone on for over a year now is that this is at heart a spiritual battle. It makes no sense otherwise. The persistent vehemence of D&P's denials of the obvious and its primary disposition to attack the character and credibility of its critics speaks volumes.
Since the very beginning of this saga LifeSiteNews has deliberately downplayed its reports on the D&P scandal knowing that the overwhelming evidence we presented would speak for itself and more than prove the facts of our case.
However, despite volumes of compelling internet, photographic, and direct interview evidence, this situation remains unresolved and we are amazingly still being attacked for misrepresenting the truth. Reason and facts appear to be having no impression whatever upon intransigent D&P staff and its proponents who are sowing considerable confusion among the faithful.
This kind of confusion can only come from spiritual blindness.
So I'm asking, no I'm begging you to please join us here at LifeSiteNews in prayer for the truth on this matter to become accepted and finally decisively acted upon by Canada's bishops.
We've been praying on this matter since the beginning but not in a focused and urgent manner. It's evident that the whole battle is about that now.
