Planned Parenthood and Mammograms

Apparently Cecille Richards,head of planned parenthood, lied when she said that her organization offered mammograms.If the abortion-breast cancer link is to be believed,perhaps they should.

Assisted Suicide The Real Agenda

So the euthanasia campaigner Nan Maitland has killed herself. Was she terminally ill? Was she in intractable pain? No. She had arthritis.So that is the real agenda-to assist people to die whether or not they are terminally ill.

Refuting Stephen Hawking

For a brilliant refutation of Hawking,do watch the lecture by Dr John Lennox on youtube

Public School Atheists

Stephen Fry,Hugh Laurie,Dawkins,Hitchens,Jonathan Glover etc. What is it about public schools that brings out the atheist in us? Public schools give us a good formation in the Arts and Sciences.But Theology is often scandulously ignored. Hence the general ignorance in otherwise gifted atheists. I only read about Aquinas once at school-and that was in a book by Bertrand Russell.

Christians have rights too

I have had the privilege of giving a series of talks in a non-Euoropean country.Many people asked about the issue of homosexuality and I answered in line with the teachings of the Church.There was a great sense of charity with no expressions of hatred.A pity that Christians are losing this right of free expression in Europe.

On a great Jesuit

A man told Fr Thwaites:"Father, I owe you £100.Why not get this in writing?" Father agreed and wrote on a piece of paper: "You owe me £100" and gave it to this man. The man looked rather surprised.

The Great Jesuits

Fr Crane was referring to excommunication as an act of charity when he wrote of "time for the chop." Wonderful to know this blog gets read.And so to one of my main projects. I have been meeting dozens of people who have been influenced by Fr Thwaites. Some day someone may write a book about him. A few anecdotes. He would spend hours before the Blessed Sacrament.As he walked into chapel,he would give Our Lord a smile.I asked him what he said in prayer and he answered "Not much." The important thing is to grow in divine intimacy and different souls pray in different ways.
