The transmission of human life, "Humanae Vitae"

"Humanae Vitae" Under Siege. Two New Assaults and a Counterattack, by Sandro Magister


Ham-handed assaults from the usual suspects, the misguided Cardinal Walter Kasper grasping at straws and "what ifs", and a second by alleged specialist on questions of family morality, Luciano Moia writing in the newspaper of the Italian episcopal conference, “Avvenire,” in what Magister describes as an acrobatic review of the recent book "Karol Wojtyla e 'Humanae vitae' by Pawel Stanislaw Galuszka.

Arguments from Silence are considered faulty when there is so much that is not silent, but explicit.

The counterattack in defense of “Humanae Vitae,” came from Cardinal Gerhard L. Müller, the Polish philosopher Stanislaw Grygiel, and the Italian theologian Livio Melina, in addition to the author of the book acrobatically reviewed by Moia, Pawel Stanislaw Galuszka of Poland. The Counterattach is best summarized in the article appropriately titled "THOSE WHO MANIPULATE PAUL VI"
by Livio Melina
Melian's article starts:
... Today one hears ambiguous talk of an epochal “paradigm shift,” which it is alleged must be applied to Catholic sexual morality. In order to impose it there is also underway a questionable attempt at historical reinterpretation, which contrasts the figures of Paul VI and John Paul II, seeing in the second an intransigent and rigid traditionalist who is thought to have compromised the open and flexible attitude of the former.

In reality, this crude and arbitrary falsification is made only to serve an ideological manipulation of the magisterium of Pope Paul VI.

Day 70, Nineveh 90 for Life - St. Louis de Montfort's Day 14 of Total Consecration to Mary, is the Preparation for Total Consecration to Jesus Through Mary - Part II. THEME: KNOWLEDGE OF SELF
Prayers, examinations, reflection, acts of renouncement of our own will, of contrition for our sins, of contempt of self, all performed at the feet of Mary, for it is from her that we hope for light to know ourselves. It is near her, that we shall be able to measure the abyss of our miseries without despairing.
We should employ all our pious actions in asking for a knowledge of ourselves and contrition of our sins: and we should do this in a spirit of piety.

Holy Saturday, Mar. 31st, known as the Harrowing of Hell. Harrowing is the Old English and Middle English term for the triumphant descent of Christ into hell (or Hades) between the time of His Crucifixion and His Resurrection [Holy Saturday], when, according to Christian belief, He brought salvation to the souls held captive there since the beginning of the world.

Alfie Evans a toddler from the U.K. suffers from seizures and is sedated from medication leaving him with limited abilities and on a breathing ventilator that Alder Hey hospital in West Derby would like to remove and which would most likely lead to Alfie's death. The hospital also refuses to release Alfie and the UK courts agree with inducing the child's death.
