Look at this article: A betrothal proposal Then do a Google on Michael G. Lawler and Gail S. Risch This passes for moral reasoning: Recent focus groups of young Catholic adults on “problematic aspects of church teaching” found that they disagreed with church teaching on premarital sex and cohabitation and do not see a fundamental difference in a loving relationship before and after a wedding. Our experience with young adults leads us to doubt the claim that they are living in sin. It would appear closer to the truth that they are growing, perhaps slowly but nonetheless surely, into grace. The most recent and respected marriage research identifies two kinds of cohabitors: those who are not committed to marriage, whom we name “non-nuptial cohabitors,” and those already committed to marriage, perhaps even engaged, whom we name “nuptial cohabitors.” “Couples who live together with no definite plan to marry are in a completely different situation from cohabiting couples already committed to marrying one another.” Not married to old ideas Young adult Catholics have decidedly different views about marriage from those of previous generations. Among the surprising opinions they tell focus group researchers: • Many participants affirm marriage as an important goal but say they do not know what the church teaches about it. • They cite confusion about church teaching because church leaders send mixed messages about sex, contraception, and divorce/annulment. • Some disagree with church teaching on premarital sex and cohabitation. • They do not see a difference between a loving relationship before and after a wedding. • The most common area of disagreement with church teaching is contraception. • Marriage preparation should begin earlier than just before the wedding, optimally in the family, certainly in high school. • Young couples should be matched with older married couples to mentor them before and after their wedding. • A majority do not see parishes as helpful to them before or after their wedding. —MGL and GSR So “what they feel” “do not see” or their “views” trump Divine Revelation... Arrrggghh! (You’d think after 25 years of this crap I’d be used to it...) Wednesday, June 27, 2007

Would be their ‘Own Enemy’ FRONT ROYAL, VA — “If Amnesty International (AI) drops their neutral stance on abortion they will have become their own enemy, and become complicit in one of the greatest human rights abuses of all time: abortion on demand,” said Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer, STL, president of Human Life International (HLI). “It was bad enough they were neutral on the crime of abortion in the first place, but if they drop even that they switch sides to stand on the side of tyrants and genocide throughout history,” Father Euteneuer said. “The failure to see the plight of the unborn for the injustice that it is represents a grave moral blindness, not a sensitivity to the oppressed.” Father Euteneuer was responding reports that Amnesty International, UK, has endorsed legal abortion. An International Council meeting is scheduled for August 2007 in Mexico to decide the issue worldwide. “The international abortion lobby has been trying to have abortion declared a ‘human right’ by trying to manipulate UN conferences and international treaty instruments. Thus far they have failed.” Father Euteneuer said. “If AI caves to this pressure, it would represent not principle, but abandonment of principle to ugly, bald-faced ideology. It would render every unborn child—especially in the developing world—a political prisoner in the womb.” “If they go through with this,” he added, “they will have lost one of their strongest allies in the cause of human rights: the Catholic Church.” “Peter Benenson,” the Catholic convert and lawyer who founded Amnesty International in 1961, “must be rolling in his grave.” Father Euteneuer said.

My reply to him in his comment box, if he uses it: What are you talking about? Fr. Euteneuer showed great pastoral love towards Hannity performing a spiritual work of Mercy. He offered to speak to him privately in 2004 and was ignored. Hannity invited him on the show and obviously underestimated the priest. You obviously have never met Fr. Euteneuer if you think he has any time for gloating. Why aren't you cheering that a Catholic priest had a victory in breaking through the wall of silence the media has when it comes to an intelligent presentation of the Church's position on contraception? What is the position of this Blog on the topic? Anyone claiming to be orthodox who besmirches Fr. Euteneuer's public witness on H&C is either jealous or has a bad case of sour grapes. Hannity's past arrogant statements on the topic gave scandal and needed a rebuke and he got a good one from a good rock-solid priest. We don't just need more priests like Fr. Euteneuer, we need more bishops like him. (According to your Blog, so do England and Wales.) What are you thinking? Thursday, March 02, 2006
