One thing that I will not let rest, however, is my pursuit of justice for the unborn. In that vein, one of my friends sent an email to me that contained a link to the following video. You would have to live under a rock not to be familiar with what the Obama Administration, guided by Kathleen Sebelius, a pseudo catholic, is trying to do to religious liberty under the guise of 'healthcare'. His unholy tyranny is truly a frightening thing to behold and solidifies our belief that the devil is certainly at play on this earth.
Our reassurance comes from finding that there are true warriors for the Gospel out there in our churches, who will stand ready to fight! One such Champion of our Mother Church is Father Sammie Maletta, who delivered a Homily at St. John the Evangelist Parish in St. John, Indiana. As the description on YouTube states, "(t)his Homily addressed how President Obama is threatening our Religious Freedom and declaring war with the Catholic Church."
I, for one, feel totally invigorated when I hear such a homily from one of our priests. It makes me proud and also brings an urgency to share and encourage more of this type of strong conviction! Give a listen and see if you don't feel the same...and then pass it on. Perhaps even to a priest, who might find this to be just the nudge to declare his passion as well!
God bless Fr. Maletta for standing strong!
"In the United States, religious liberty does not depend on the benevolence of who is regulating us. It is our 'first freedom' and respect for it must be broad and inclusive-not narrow and exclusive. Catholics and other people of faith and good will are not second class citizens. And it is not for the government to decide which of our ministries is 'religious enough' to warrant religious freedom protection." ~Cardinal Timothy DolanPresident Obama, LET US BE CATHOLICS!
On February 5, 2012 Father Sammie Maletta delivered a Homily at St. John the Evangelist Parish in St. John, Indiana. Please take a few moments to listen. No one sums it up quite like Father Maletta.

What an excellent sermon. One of my concerns is that I am afraid that about half of those people sitting in the pews of that church will probably vote for Obama again in the next election.
ReplyDeleteOf course you're correct! Unfortunately we've been let down by our fellow Catholics for years - partly due to not hearing Homilies such as this. What we CAN do, is to forward and share this type of information to as many as possible! God bless!
DeleteWhen Fr. Maletta finished his homily, the angels sang while the heavens rejoiced! God bless you, Father...be assured, for standing strong, the heavens promise: YOU will never left orphaned from above...never!!!
