What happens when we make up our own set of ethics? What lengths will we go to to justify our evil actions to justify the murder of the preborn, the elderly, the infirm? Imagine the suffering that will result if we do not stand up and clarify the meaning of ethics and help others understand.

It’s ironic to watch the American Catholic bishops and our Church being devoured by those they fear, by the very people whose potential scorn and criticism have such power over so many of these men that the very thought of being labeled or persecuted by them seems to frighten them into practically abandoning Christ.

Two weeks ago, I was in Baltimore with a fellow ALL employee for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Fall Assembly and, despite Michael Sean Winters’ assertion that I was “lurking around, waiting to corner a bishop,” we did as we have done for the previous three years.
In a recent interview with David Gregory on Meet the Press, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, past president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, lamented that U.S.

It is a sad moment in history when a government calls upon a lone woman to testify about contraception and attempts to tell the country she is representative of women.

Let us not forget those who are sick or terminally ill. And let us always be thankful for the life we have been given and vow to make the lives of our fellow human beings better and more rewarding. For if we do not help others, who will?

A group of immensely wealthy individuals pledge to give at least half of their money to the needy. It’s an incredible gift of generosity. Yet what if these monetary gifts hurt more than they help?
