Aug 2 Sat 8am 1st Saturday Mass with Fr. Roy in the Problem Pregnancy Chapel
Aug 2 Sat noon 1st Saturday Mass with Fr. Gaby Hoyak at Our Lady of Mercy Maronite Church, June St. Worc, 11am confession and Rosary, 1st Sat. meditation and Divine Mercy Chaplet before Mass.

Dale O’Leary, author of “One Man, One Woman, A Catholic’s Guide to Defending Marriage”, (available at Shower of Roses in W.Boylston), has written a well-researched, thorough and compassionate defense of our Church’s teaching that marriage is a life-long union between one man and one woman. I continue quoting from this work to assist our outreach to our brothers and sisters who have Same-Sex Attraction, SSA.
“Among female couples, the wife/pseudo-husband scenario isn’t as uncommon…For a high profile example, when media personality Rosie O’Donnell ‘came out’ as a lesbian, for a time she put away feminine clothing and hairstyles, dressed in clearly masculine clothing, and talked about her ‘wife.’ Her partner, Kelli, the biological mother of some of their children (some are adopted), is obviously feminine. We can see how the lack of complementary plays out in two-woman families in comments made by O’Donnell on her talk show, The View. The panel was discussing breastfeeding, and Rosie announced that Kelli had breastfed their baby conceived through artificial insemination – but for only one month, because Rosie demanded Kelli stop. Rosie explained that breastfeeding allowed Kelli to develop an intimacy with the baby that Rosie couldn’t be part of, and the other women on the show were clearly shocked that Rosie saw nothing wrong with allowing her jealousy to deny the baby the positive benefits of breastfeeding.”
“It isn’t surprising that Rosie and other pseudo-husbands would have maternal feelings, although they might want to adopt the male role in the relationship, they’re unable wholly to sacrifice their natural desire to mother. Being a mother is simply more natural to a woman than being a father.” P.156

“Paul Guay, in an article in Crisis magazine entitled ‘Setting Freud Straight: Homosexuality as Repressed Friendship,’ argues that those followers of Freud who see friendship as latent or repressed homosexuality have the whole thing upside down. The reality is ‘that homosexuality is itself latent or repressed friendship.”* The male with SSA is looking for the male friendship that he missed in childhood.

Even though Democrats raised money over Sandy Hook, and Katrina, that does not mean the Republicans are doing the same with Benghazi – 'The facts are neither Republican nor Democrat'

The important question is ‘Why was there no military response?’ or perhaps more clearly Why did the White House issue a stand-down order?

The changing economics of cutting-edge pro-family activism
The economics of fighting this fight have changed drastically in just the last few years. That's why regular people like you are so vitally important.
Here's a prominent example of what we're talking about. As most of you know by now, the president of Chick-fil-A, Dan Cathy, recently announced that his company would no longer donate to pro-family groups opposing "gay marriage" or the homosexual agenda in the schools. Such donations were a "bad business decision," he said. Instead, he has instituted an outlandish sexual-orientation and "gender identity" non-discrimination policy in all his restaurants. And he started meeting with college homosexual activists to find "common ground."
The president of Chick-fil-A is now the rule, not the exception.

From Bill Cotter: The Buffer Zone Law has been found unconstitutional. So, what do we do now?
In a word, be as wise a serpents and as innocent as doves. Prayer supporters: pray. Avoid shouting and calling out to women going in. Leave the verbal communications to the sidewalk counselors. If you want to counsel, please do so. We need more counselors! If not, leave the driving to us!
Prayer supporters should continue to stand more or less where they were before. It's OK to step over the lines, but do not go anywhere near the entrance.
One thing we must all avoid is brinksmanship - going within an inch of violating the law, thus giving them grounds for a new law (and, yes, they are going to seek some kind of new law anyway. And it will be based on lies again. But at least we don't have to give them video footage.)
