Today is Respect life Sunday, and, at Church this morning, I heard one of the best sermons ever. Delivered by Rev Frank Phillips, he covered the gamut of the church's position from Genesis through Humanae Vitae. In addition, he made some of the strongest statements I have ever heard from the pulpit about pornography and its dangers.
As a response to Respect life sunday, The USCCB published a series of pamphlets regarding different angles of the cause. Their bulletin insert for this sunday regarding infertility can be found here USCCB Infertility 2010
While I completely support the initiatives of the USCCB, I believe that we need to focus in another area as well. Where are the roots of the problem. Whether we talk of the development of the culture of death over live, or focus on euthanasia, or contracption, or abortion, or infertility or any other facet of the current societal culture, we must lament that we have lost the focus on the relationships that have broken down, creating these sins.
St Gianna Pray for us!
