Join Young Prolifers in Paris March!

March for Life Paris, 2015
In January 2016, a British youth 'contingent' will attend the 11th March for Life in Paris, to represent UK pro-lifers and to show solidarity with the French pro-life movement.

Because SPUC believes that those living in the UK (and young people in particular) should be part of pro-life marches in the UK and abroad, SPUC has arranged for this trip to take place and has also subsidised it. They want the young people of today to be the generation who abolish abortion and witness to the fact that the alienable right to life is not a belief which is the preserve of a few in society, it is a truth which should be upheld and promoted by all.

Please join us in proudly marching for life in the streets of Paris in January 2016!

We will be leaving London on Friday 22nd January from Westminster Cathedral, travelling by coach and ferry, and returning early on Monday morning - spending the entire weekend in Paris.

The timings are as follows:

Friday:

10am - Leave London

8.30/9pm - Arrive in Paris

Saturday:

Free-time in Paris all day

8.30pm - 10pm - Vigil at Saint Francis-Xavier church in Paris

Sunday:

1pm - Meet at starting point for march

8pm - Leave Paris

Monday:

6.30am - Arrive back in London

All addresses and other details will be provided in your pack which will be given to you during the trip. If you have any questions, please contact Rhoslyn Thomas on rhoslynthomas@spuc.org.uk

The Problem is the Bishops - Dr Janet Smith.

  Dr Janet Smith is a true gift to the Church. She is an American classicist and philosopher, and former professor of moral theology at the Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit, Michigan. She is now retired and works helping victims of the sex abuse crisis where she does amazing work. It's my great pleasure to count her among my friends and I can assure you she loves Jesus and His Church with an incredible depth and honesty. She is wonderful company especially in that she is as sharp as a tack but also extremely warm and funny. This is a talk she gave recently at the Coalition for Cancelled Priests Conference at the end of June in Chicago. It's a must listen talk if you want to know the painful reality of the corruption in the Catholic hierarchy, corruption of all kinds, sexual, financial and spiritual/ theological. Having defended the Church during the paedophile crisis she was devastated when, after the Dallas Charter, the McCarrick scandal broke. She addresses the critici

Real Life Catholics on BBC TV defend Church Teaching on Contraception.

Image
This morning on BBC TV Sunday Morning Live there was a good debate inspired by Melinda Gates (who identifies as Catholic) comments about the pope potentially changing doctrine on contraception. The Catholic contributors were Fr Paddy McCafferty, Clare Short and Obianuju Ekeocha. I think they did really well. Uju's direction is very interesting and easily wrong foots those who want to impose western ideas of morality on Africans in an imperialistic way. Interesting that the presenter agrees with her on this. Fr Paddy gave a great account of his experience as a priest. He was compassionate, realistic and honest, while upholding the value and importance of the doctrine. Clare said she had experience of both ways and the Catholic way is better by far. I thought that was awesome! I especially liked her focus on equality and bringing the responsibility of both husband & wife into the discussion. Watch out for the bit where the other lady says "Pope Francis has ind

New Head of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith

Image
I can hardly bring myself to write about yesterday's announcement that Pope Francis has appointed Archbishop Victor Manuel Fernández to be the new head of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith replacing Cardinal Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, S.J. (now 79) who was previously the secretary to Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Muller. Fernández is certainly one of the Pope's men, his whole career has been crafted and guided by Jorge Bergoglio. He headed the Faculty of Theology at the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina (CUA) and then on December 15, 2009, the then Cardinal Bergoglio appointed Fernandez as rector of the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina. However, much to the frustration of Cardinal Bergoglio, Fernandez was not able to take the oath of office until May 20, 2011, after he had answered objections to his appointment raised by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which assessed concerns about the orthodoxy of certain elements of his scholarship
