Every day, it is something new coming forth from Washington DC and our elected officials and it isn't good news. The latest is that 17 year old girls will be allowed access to the morning after pill. Seems to me that if parents cared and were informed, they'd know where their daughters were and what they were doing and there would not be a night before to require a morning after pill. I wonder why the powers that be in our world of today think that taking care of a 'problem' after it happens makes more sense than condemning the problem in unappropriate circumstances. It is hard to watch or listen to the news as it all seems so anti-Catholic and just plain immoral.
RealCatholicTV.net has a lot of good information and keeps up to date. Just today, they kind of confirmed my worst fears but, hey, forewarned and all and knowing we have the power of prayer on our side . . .!

The Notre Dame deal is still on for the president to speak there in May. Makes you wonder what the president of the college was thinking! I noted that out of all the bishops who have voiced disagreement on this invitation, no bishops from California have spoken up. The bishop of our diocese is Bishop Gerald Barnes. I wonder if he knows what a dismay, sadness, and embarrassment it is to the people of this area that he has not come forth on this topic. He shouldn't be afraid of the media - they won't be there on Judgment Day!
Oh, and for the California readers of this blog, vote NO on everything on the special election coming up in May. There is a lot of hype about how it will not raise taxes. Read the fine print! It is a masterful cover up and after the budget they just passed, we don't need to hand over any more of our hard-earned money. The commercials currently running on radio and television as so misleading!
