Message
By Monsignor Danaher
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
“For over fifty six years, my eyes have
gazed everyday on the Host and the Chalice” Pope John Paul II Wrote a short
time before his death. What a wonderful leader we have had for the past twenty-six
years. He was the third longest reigning Pope in the History of our One Holy
Catholic Apostolic Church’s Peter was the longest and Pius IX was the second
longest reigning Pope. How can I be like him? Be faithful and bring along as
many as you can, just like he did.
Peace and Love,
Msgr. Mortimer Danaher
Knight of the
Month
April 2005
If you have been on this Knight’s e-mail list this past year, you have received
numerous announcements about K of C events.
He’s a steady usher at his parish and always active at our Council
meetings. This Knight is experienced in
State and Council procedures and has been recognized in his council, around the
district and on the state level as an exemplary Catholic gentleman, as well as,
a family man. At times he’s helped with maintenance on the Council hall. He’s guided and supported me in several
council matters over this past year.
It’s a privilege for me to present to you PGK Gino Rocca as the
Knight of the Month of April.
Family of the Month
April 2005
I have known this couple for many years, but had lost contact with them when I
moved to Houston, Texas, in 1981. They
were a wonderful example of what marriage is all about, raising a large family,
involved in Church and school, and that something that glows about a couple
sharing Sacramental spousal love. And
because of this love, they have been sharing their family life with other married
couples through Marriage Encounters for many years. It’s an honor for me to choose John and Tina Morrissey as
Family of the Month of April.
K'CEE'S KORNER
by Laura Morris
President
Dear Ladies,
Habemos Papam!!!
It was sad to
lose our beloved Pope John Paul 2nd. The entire world gave that Holy
man the respect that he earned as the Vicar of Christ. And now we have Pope
Benedict XVI. We must pray that he is a wise and caring Shepherd to his flock.
I want to thank
all our ladies and the Knights for their help with the yard sale on April 16th
. It was a fun day and we managed to make some money too.
K-Cee kudos to
Darlene and Louie O’Neal for getting 20 new chairs for the hall and delivering!
We appreciate your prompt response to our request. Thank you.
Our last K-Cee meeting for the spring will be May 10th at 8:00 p.m. I’ll take care of providing an
ice cream social for all. This will be my last meeting as your President and I
want to express my deep gratitude for all the support I received for the last
two years. It has been a wonderful experience.
Love and Prayers,
Laura
RIGHT TO LIFE
The following article by Keith Peters appeared in the April
issue of the
Christian Action News.
IS THERE
REALLY A PRO-ABORTION CLERGY?
A pro-abortion group has produced a
theology course for pro-abortion clergy. A distinctly pro-abortion course on
reproductive issues debuts at the Chicago Theological seminary, but many
pro-life groups think it's neither scriptural nor theological. The
curriculum, called "Theology & Reproductive Choice," will focus
on feminist theological perspectives, pastoral care, and philosophy & ethics.
It’s part of an effort, according to the Religious Coalition for Reproductive
Choice (RCRC), to prepare the next generation of pro-abortion clergy. Parker
Williamson of the Presbyterian Lay Committee called it
nothing more than "an apologetic for abortion. “Calling it a theology is
really a misnomer," Williamson said. “There’s no 'theos' or God in it. God,
for the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, is nothing more than the
imperial self. It’s all about me. It’s all about my choice."Dr. Randall
O'Bannon of the National Right to Life Committee said there is no truly
objective material in the course."I don't really see anything here that
talks about the sanctity of life or of fetal development," he noted."I
don't see anything here that talks about our obligations to love our
neighbor."
Too often the phase "reproductive choice" is merely a euphemism for
people not being responsible for their choices."It's a code word for the
fact that one can simply create a human life & then, for whatever reason
one feels is relevant, can decide to destroy that human life, O'Bannon
said.Neither the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice nor Chicago
Theological Seminary returned calls for comment. (What's wrong with this
picture? Are they being influenced by the evil spirit, rather than the Holy
Spirit?)
