The
nightmare for the world is about to begin. The attack
on the family and against life is going to intensify,
led by the most powerful country in the world under
its pro-abortion President. Are we ready for this
onslaught? The critical fight is about family and
life. And this is what the Lord has been preparing
us in CFC for over the last 27 years. This is why
the enemy caused some of our brethren to veer away,
and even now are using them to attack us. So we must
stand firm. And we must prepare ourselves.
First,
we must grow in holiness. Second, we must educate
ourselves about the pro-life teachings of our Church.
Third, we must work to cleanse ourselves, to purify
our ranks, such as fighting the use of contraceptives
among our sisters. Fourth, we must evangelize with
a passion.
These
are dark times, but the Lord's light shines brightest
amidst the darkness. Let us persevere in hope, endure
all difficulties and trials, and rejoice in the privilege
of standing up for God and His work. To Jesus belongs
the victory!
God
bless.

Prominent
Kenyan Physician: "This Administration of Obama,
is Going to be a Nightmare for Our People"
By
Hilary White, Rome correspondent
ROME,
November 10, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The head
of the Catholic Doctors’ Association of Kenya
said last week that the election
of Barack Obama as the new president of the US is
a direct attack on the families and children of Africa.
Dr. Stephen Karanja, a consultant obstetrician and
gynaecologist from Nairobi told LifeSiteNews.com that
those in Kenya “who know what is good for their
world,” had feared the election of Obama because
of his pro-abortion and anti-family positions.
“We
in Kenya know him (Obama) as a person who is anti-family,”
Dr. Karanja said. “A person who would support
abortion. In America they can do all right killing
their babies. But they must not associate us with
the people who would want our babies to be killed.”
In
an interview at an international conference of obstetricians
and ethicists in Rome, Dr. Karanja said that Africans
are now under threat, with Obama having made his radical
support for abortion without restriction a key point
of his campaign. “Now we are in big trouble
because of these Americans,” Dr. Karanja said.
Dr.
Karanja expressed his frustration at the result of
the US election: “They have no business electing
a person who is going to destroy
our countries. And that is what they have done.
This is something that a lot of people don’t
realise, that what these Americans do affects innocent
people thousands and thousands of miles away.”
“The truth is that they
have put a bad man in the most powerful office in
the whole world. And are putting people outside your
borders in danger.”
Africa,
he said, has been “saturated” with contraceptives
by US-based international aid
organisations, pushing an anti-child, anti-family
ideology. The anti-family efforts of many international
aid organizations, however, were frustrated by the
Bush administration, which severely restricted overseas
funding for contraceptives and abortion. The election
of Obama, on the other hand, has been hailed as a
victory for many such organizations, such as International
Planned Parenthood, which expect
a massive influx of funding and support from an Obama
administration.
90
per cent of those in Kenya polled over the last twenty
years, said Dr. Karanja, hold abortion to be an “abomination.”
“And therefore the people who want abortion
in our country, 90 per cent of them would consider
them an abomination.
“And
that is what Americans are bringing to us: an abomination.”
Dr.
Karanja described the work of US-based international
aid organisations that have condoms, abortion and
population control as the foundation of their work
overseas: “Those organisations that come to
our country ... we don’t need them. We don’t
need them at all. They come in our country for the
purposes of trying to sell an ideology to us, an ideology
we do not need.”
“There
is something in Africa we have that they should come
and learn,” he continued. “Something called
‘respecting the family’ respecting the
elders, respecting the children, hoping for the best,
and not being ruled. And people from the west have
a problem with this.”
The
“one thing” that many Kenyans fear from
Obama’s presidency, said Karanja, is the renewal
of the attacks on the family and the unborn.
“The only resource we have that is truly ours,”
he said, “is our people.
“Don’t
attack them and we’ll be alright. And this
administration of Obama, is going to be a nightmare
for our people.”
