COMMENTARY: THE GOSNELL STORY AND ITS LESSONS

ARCHBISHOP CHAPUT\’S WEEKLY COLUMN:

$\"Commentary\"$ Some stories, no matter how unsettling, just can\’t be ignored – even when some people are determined to look away.

The murder trial of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell will soon go to jury. And like every other criminally accused person under the law, Gosnell is innocent until proven guilty. Whatever the verdict though, there\’s no ambiguity about the kind of business he ran at his West Philadelphia \”Women\’s Medical Center\” – an abortion clinic that critics have likened to a meatpacking plant or a butcher shop, with unborn children delivered into a toilet, and jars of fetal body parts stored around the facility.

CHUCKLES: Indian Mating Season

CHUCKLE SUBMITTED BY GARY M.

related category CHUCKLES

Two Indians and an Irishman were walking through the woods. All of a sudden one of the Indians $\"Men64\"$ ran up a hill to the mouth of a small cave.

\”Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!\” he called into the cave and listened closely until he heard an answering, \”Wooooo! Wooooo! Woooooo! He then tore off his clothes and ran into the cave.

The Irishman was puzzled and asked the remaining Indian what it was all about. \”Was the other Indian crazy or what?\”

The Indian replied \”No, It is our custom during mating season when Indian men see cave, they holler ‘Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!’ into the opening. If they get an answer back, it means there’s a beautiful woman in there waiting for us.\”

Just then they came upon another cave. The second Indian ran up to the cave, stopped, and hollered, \”Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!\” Immediately, there was the answer. \”Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!\” from deep inside. He also tore off his clothes and ran into the opening.

The Irishman wandered around in the woods alone for a while, and then spied a third large cave. As he looked in amazement at the size of the huge opening, he was thinking, \”Hoo, man! Look at the size of this cave! It is bigger than those the Indians found. There must be some really big, fine women in this cave!\”

He stood in front of the opening and hollered with all his might \”Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!\” Like the others, he then heard an answering call, \”WOOOOOOOOO, WOOOOOOOOO, WOOOOOOOOO!\”

With a gleam in his eye and a smile on his face, he raced into the cave, tearing off his clothes as he ran. The following day, the headline of the local newspaper read…..

LETTERS: Faith-leaders in D.C. Pushing for Amnesty

Every week, we go to coalition meetings comprised of outside organizations and Congressional $\"Images\"$ staff. Some leaders of the faith community have been saying that people of strong faith should support Amnesty, claiming it is a biblical mandate.

We respect many of these leaders and work with them closely to protect life, traditional marriage, religious freedom, and other vital issues. However, we respectfully disagree with their stance on Amnesty.

Scripture is clear on many things, but a sovereign nation’s immigration policy is not one of them.
