I clicked on the link, but couldn’t find the place to sign up for the webcast. It just told me my shopping cart was empty. I didn’t know I had a shopping cart.

Helena – pick a zip code, any zip code!
Kate – whoops, fixed, thanks!
Helena,
By the authority vested in me by virtue of being a native Brooklynite, I hereby declare you an honorary citizen of the New York City Borough of Brooklyn and confer upon you the Brooklyn Zip Code 11220.
You may notice a sudden craving for bagels and lox. This is a good affliction. ;-)
By the way, which antiabortion moronic group is going to do what others have done during tragedies like in Japan? Compare the number of abortions to the number of dead in Japan? They have done it a few times in the past.
Van,
Your slurs against the Catholic and Protestant churches were taken down, consistent with the guidelines on posting. Try focussing on the issue at hand and articulating your thoughts on that issue.
“By the way, which antiabortion moronic group is going to do what others have done during tragedies like in Japan? Compare the number of abortions to the number of dead in Japan?”
Well, Van, how do I ask this delicately, respectfully, yet accurately…?
Since you brought it up, might you yourself be the “moron” of which you speak? But just to entertain you, I’ll take a swing at your question.
Have you ever known someone whose loved one was murdered? Have you ever seen the blood-curdling, raw, howling grief of the mother whose child died an accidental death? If you have, then you have witnessed the effects of a holocaust in its truest sense in the lives of one family. You have witnessed the significance of one human life, the appreciation of which is felt most acutely in its sudden, untimely ending.
All holocausts are nothing more than the aggregate of individual holocausts. Dividing the aggregate holocaust by the number of dead victims does not give each victim a fraction of human worth and dignity. The answer is always ONE.
One human life, imbued with all of the glory of humanity, made in the image and likeness of God.
Multiplying that singular ONE by scores of thousands, or even scores of millions, often overwhelms the senses and deadens the perception of the singular ONE that gives rise to the howls of the mad mother in her grief…
Or those of the Heavenly Father who will not infinitely stay His wrath on the just and the unjust for what we have allowed to befall over 1.8 BILLION of His children worldwide since 1960.
We witness Japan and cry out to God for aid, for justice and mercy, for healing. It is right and just to do so. But we need to understand what God tells us about making ourselves worthy of being answered in the manner we would have Him answer us:
Isaiah 58:6-12
6 “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?
7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—
when you see the naked, to clothe them,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn,
and your healing will quickly appear;
then your righteousness[a] will go before you,
and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.
9 Then you will call, and the LORD will answer;
you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.
“If you do away with the yoke of oppression,
with the pointing finger and malicious talk,
10 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,
then your light will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become like the noonday.
11 The LORD will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.
12 Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins
and will raise up the age-old foundations;
you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls,
Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.
Now Van, plug abortion into that equation.
Dr. Nadal, that was beautiful. Thank you.
I, for one, am not at all irritated by the use of a child’s picture to raise awareness of child-sex trafficking.
Ashley, there are no personal attacks allowed on this site. Thanks.
Van, true that the Japanese have been using abortion as contraception for many years, as have many people around the world, but totally unrelated to this present terrible situation they are in. Nice of you to step up and push the comparison yourself, :>( .
I have friends in Japan, and hope and pray for them.
Now, it’s interesting that abortion fans love to bash the Church and the churches. The mainstream media love a priestly scandal. But what about sex trafficking of minors (and unfortunate adults)? Why hold one group so much more accountable? Is the accountant who victimizes children any less of a criminal? Is the schoolteacher who victimizes children any less of a criminal? Is Planned Parenthood’s collaboration with sex traffickers any less criminal??
Is a child is abused by an secular person any less traumatized? If I were abused by the local sports coach, am I any less injured? Do you care about me less? Can you look a child in the eyes and say, “You were victimized by a lawyer, so I don’t care as much about you than if you were abused by a religious person.” Can you say that to an innocent victim of abuse??
And Van – we are all called to help in any situation – help for people of Haiti, help for people of Japan, help for those who have little, and help for the unborn and their moms and dads. If you are human, we are to help. It could be to our neighbor next door, our neighbor across the world, our neighbor in the womb, our neighbors who are being sexually abused and used.
As brothers and sisters – we are to help in any and all situations. And I second Gerard’s question: What are you going to do about all of our neighbors, including the unborn and the sexually used? Especially in light of Planned Parenthood and others that seem to excel at abusing and actually ending the life of others….
