Jo Massarelli and Marc Tumeinski opened their home to their Beloved Ron Wehrle, who returned from a 3 week hospital stay this past Monday. Ron’s liver had failed and he appeared to be in his final days, as Jo put it “Medicine has done it's very best for Ron, so now it is time to come home and be with those who love him.” Jo and Marc had opened their home on Oxford Street to all who would like to visit Ron and/or pray the Liturgy of the Hours, and some dear friends did make it, but Monday evening rRon passed away. His Wake will be in the lower chapel at St. Paul's this Thursday 4-7pm with funeral Mass Friday 10am at the cathedral. RIP.

Romney Gives Marriage Reinforce Mitt
Mitt Romney may not be running for president again, but there is one issue he's still campaigning for -- marriage. The former governor, who was criticized for not doing more to try to stop the Massachusetts Supreme Court from imposing same-sex "marriage" on his state, is not mincing words. With state amendments being attacked one-by-one in the era of Obama lawlessness, Romney is back in the spotlight, speaking up for the millions of Americans who feel like they're losing their voice. The Republican nominee wasn't willing to concede marriage then -- and, on NBC's Meet the Press, he showed he isn't willing to now either.

"I think marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman," Romney said.
"And I think the ideal setting for raising a child is in a setting where there's a father and mother. Despite what the media wants people to believe, Republicans haven't "lost" the gay marriage issue, he explained. "I think you stand for various principles, you communicate those to the American people, and they either support those or not. Sometimes if something is lost, while you move on to the next issue, you wish you had won that one but you move on. In this case, it continues to be an issue that people find relevant and important, something that is being considered in various states around the country."

Like most Americans, he thinks it should be up to the states -- not judges -- to define marriage. "I do believe, by the way, that it's best decided by the people rather than the courts," Romney said. "When the courts step in and make a decision of this nature, they're removing from the people something which they have the right to decide themselves."

Beyond Belief: The World of the Persecuted Church
Habila Adamu will never be a household name in America -- but to the millions of persecuted Christians in Eastern Africa, he is a symbol of the fierce courage it takes to live by faith in the face of death. Fourteen months ago, the Nigerian businessman was at home when two masked gunman showed up at his door and ordered his wife to leave. We're here, they said, "to do the work of Allah." Pointing their AK-47s in his direction, the shooters asked if Habila was a Christian. "Yes," he replied. They asked him why he hadn't accepted Islam, despite hearing the message of Mohammed. Again, he told them, "I am a Christian. We are also preaching the gospel of the true God to you and to other people who do not yet know God." "Are you ready to die as a Christian?" the men sneered. "I am ready to die as a Christian," he told them. They asked him one more time -- and before Habila could finish, a bullet silenced him, permanently.

Mark Fisher, candidate for Governor, the only candidate the Pro-Life could vote for. Vote values - Fisher for the Primary. Scott Lively will run as an Independent.
Scott publically stated that if Mark wins the Primary and carries the true conservative banner, he would step aside and support Mark in the General. Two honorable men indeed.
