They have to get things 'right' sometimes considering that many earlier flawed decisions they have 'made' previously have led up to having to make this one.
David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt of Center for Medical Progress are free of all charges. The agreement, a negotiated settlement with zero punishment, involves no jail time, no fines, no admission of wrongdoing, and no probation, is in exchange for a new “no contest” plea by Daleiden and Merritt on a single video recording charge. The new “no contest” plea—which cannot be used adversely—will be entered into judgment as a misdemeanor in 6 to 12 months, and then converted to a “not guilty” plea, dismissed, and expunged.
Parents don’t need permission from the high court. They can just withdraw their children from the corrupt public schools. Then, work to get a voucher to help educate the children. We have become accustomed to letting the government co-parent.
"Groundbreaking" is an understatement regarding this lawsuit against coerced abortion in Minnesota. Please commit to prayer and sacrifice and spreading the word.

@chris griffin I also just wanted to clarify, this legal case is about much more than revealing the reality of coerced abortions which, sadly, do happen in ways beyond imagination. It is about dismantling the lies that led to legalized and even celebrated abortion in the first place. Everyone knows it's a false house of cards. But the likes of Planned Parenthood still peddle that it is the moral equivalent of a root canal. The plaintiffs and attorneys greatly need the assistance of our regular prayers.
Yes, I understand what you mean. However, if you are at all interested in taking the time to read about this case, you can see how it is something the general public is more likely to comprehend, relate to, etc. Atty Cassidy is right in describing the mother never truly has full understanding just like a mother relinquishing her relationship thru adoption never does so before birth and even not immediately after birth. It's a good argument among other good arguments.
May it please God to grant us this legal victory over the vile satanic madness of this foul abomination, and cause us to triumph gloriously over all those who promote and advance it.

I think I've discovered the inspiration for the new Notre Dame Cathedral vestments... or did the vestments inspire the dessert? Inquiring minds want to know!
I've heard a lot of talk about whether the Feast of the Immaculate Conception is a holy day of obligation for 2024, the celebration falling on Monday in my diocese. The bishop makes the decision and the parishes follow. Then those who are vocal often criticize the bishop if the obligation is lifted. To me, I thought the priest of our parish wrapped it all up in a bow quite well. He explained the obligation was lifted and anyone who did not attend Mass was NOT committing a sin. He then said if we did not attend Mass, we don't love Mary very much. He's right, isn't he!? It was appropriate to put a serious point on the question that comes up time after time after time. Thanks be to God, our parish has multiple Masses, morning, mid-day and evening. I think many parishes in the diocese are the same. What I don't understand is the insistence of relieving people of a feeling of being obligated to attend Mass, an exclamation point on the removal of the obligation. Are we still reacting to "…More
Aside from being the pontiff with the most 'potty mouth', almost all of his papal remarks have been more hyperbolic than theologic. He often makes neither rhyme nor reason.
Powerful words of truth from Fr. Tom Weinandy on the blasphemy of the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony. "...Amidst all the condemnations and claims of the display’s offensiveness, what has not been stated, even by Christians, is that those who planned, orchestrated, and perpetrated such a blasphemous portrayal, unless they repent, will not die a happy death. At the very moment of their death, they will be about to face the very one that they blasphemously mocked and demeaned. And contrary to the sentimentalized Christianity of many today, Scripture itself tells us that He will be their judge – the holy and risen Lord Jesus Christ..."
I would have liked you to be small, so I could hug you. I would have liked you to be big, so I could lean on you. I would have liked you to be looking out the window in winter, watching the snow begin to fall. I would have liked you to be lying under the covers during a storm, silent so you could hear the sound of the rainfall. I would have liked you to be kind to dogs, so you could pet them, and affectionate with the elderly, so you could love them. I would have liked you to be handsome, so I could brag about you, with big eyes, like your mother’s. I would have liked to sing to you, to make you fall asleep, and continue the dream that woke you up. I would have liked you to be shy, so I could see you blush, and stubborn, so I could argue with you. I would have liked you to be at my side, so the two of us could walk in silence, trying to understand what the other was thinking inside and couldn’t manage to say. I would have liked to teach you all the things I don’t know how to do. I would …More
Consider what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what vindication! In every way you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter. 2 Cor 7:11
The Basilica of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception was standing room only this morning for the ordination of these 16 exceptional men. We will be attending the first Mass of one of them tomorrow, Father's Day.
A total of 16 men will be ordained to the Catholic priesthood for the Archdiocese of Washington on June 15, marking the largest ordination class since 1960. The new ordinands include a medical doctor, a former police officer, and former army officers.
