Semper Fi Catholic

Welcome! I hear what you are saying about your children and I am reminded of St. Monica and her constant praying for St. Augustine. Don't loose hope and keep praying. All things are possible with God, and He yearns for their return to Him even more than you do. And since you asked, yes, I will pray ...

Randy, It is great to meet you. Stick around and post awhile. I can already tell that you are going to be an asset here. I'm sure you noticed the NFP forum that I have been putting together. With the help of The Art of Natural Family Planning , I am self educated on the topic of NFP. If the need wou...

I am waiting to see what reply you are going to get. It will certainly be interesting. I am sure they may be quick to point out that NOEL is the one linking to the site, not Priests for Life. We'll see.

I found this on the website that is in question. Does Nightlight encourage the creation and freezing of embryos? No, we are trying to provide a solution to a problem that already exists. We hope that as people begin in-vitro fertilization, they will in fact limit the number of embryos they create so...

Wow. I know that the silent no more campaign is a good thing. I guess I should have researched the links on the site a bit more before just linking there. It takes time to research all the links, and I guess that I shouldn't just assume the site owners are going to do it.

The sad thing is that there are many who would consider even the response you got to be an extreme view. Many people just don't know. It was a bit encouraging to hear them mention that the pill can cause an abortion. This was something that just was NOT talked about as much as it is now. It is somet...

I was raised United Methodist, practiced nothing but following my own whim for about five or six years, fell into wicca/new age stuff for a year, and have been Catholic for sev...

The above information is vitally important. Please help to make it more widely known. The majority of abortions in America occur this way and the actual number of them may never truly be known! There are poor girls who have never been taught that contraception is wrong, but are against abortion. Th...

Things not widely known about the pill. There are two basic types of birth control pills. One is a combination of estrogen and progestin. The other is progestin only (the "mini-pill"). How it works: There are three ways the birth control pill works to prevent a child from being brought into this wo...

It is important to note that there ARE reasons for some to avoid pregnancy. However, especially in our western society, it is usualy more important to point out that children are a blessing and NEVER an accident. God will take care of all the little ones He brings into the world, and it is important...

Not all infertility treatments are in accord with Church teaching. It is important to remember that children are the result of a love act and not just property to be aquired in a marriage. The bottom line is that there are some forms of fertility treatments that seperate the love act from the concep...

Yet another way that children are a blessing :D Pregnancy 'makes women live longer' By Rebecca Smith, Evening Standard Health Reporter 9 July 2004 Scientists believe they may have unlocked the secret of why women tend to live longer than men.

This post was originaly made around the time of President Regan's death and funeral. In a different thread, I brought up the fact that legal and social acceptance of contraception led the way to leagal and social acceptance of abortion on demand. It has come to my attention lately just how strongly...

Taken from her Address to the National Prayer Breakfast, Washington, DC, Feb. 3, 1994 I know that couples have to plan their family and for that there is natural family planning. The way to plan the family is natural family planning, not contraception. In destroying the power of giving life, through...
