Same-Sex Blessings as Superstitions
"If a blessing is the preparation for a sacrament, for which sacrament are same-sex unions preparing? If blessings are not the preparation for sacraments, then the practice of blessings, one of the spiritual treasures of the Church, has been reduced to a good luck charm – perhaps even a superstitious practice."
Florida attorney general seeks to block pro-abortion measure from 2024 ballot.
“... my decision to oppose the placement of [the measure on] the ballot has nothing to do with my personal views on abortion. Instead, as I have done throughout my two terms, I have objected to initiatives when the language of the summary will mislead voters,” she explained, calling the proposed measure “one of the worst I have seen.”

LIFE and DIGNITY OF THE HUMAN PERSON
“The Catholic Church proclaims that human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society. This belief is the foundation of all the principles of our social teaching. In our society, human life is under direct attack from abortion and euthanasia.”
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Washington, D.C.

As a newlywed, Julia Ibarra was more than a little nervous about using Natural Family Planning. She had grown up non-Catholic, with the assumption that the Pill would be part of her married life. Stepping away from that place felt insecure and raised a host of questions for her.
Increasing her anxiety, there seemed to be remarkably few resources for newly married couples to learn about NFP. The sparse page of information the couple was given in a Catholic marriage prep course sparked Ibarra’s curiosity but offered little else.
Ibarra’s challenging journey with NFP inspired her to found Magenta. Named after the birthplace of pro-life heroine St. Gianna Molla, Magenta aims to make NFP attractive, accessible and understandable; to be a means for women to learn about and embrace their fertility. . . .
“How can an action that ends an innocent and defenseless life in its blossoming stage be therapeutic, civilized or simply human? I ask you: Is it right to ‘do away with’ a human life in order to solve a problem? Is it right to hire a hitman in order to solve a problem? One cannot. It is not right to ‘do away with’ a human being, however small, in order to solve a problem.”
Pope Francis, Oct 10, 2018
