Powerful
world forces are arrayed against pro-lifers
and the Catholic Church. This is part
of the ancient battle between Satan and
God. The world is hurtling towards the
final conflict. We know of course who
the victor is, as Christ has already defeated
the ancient serpent through the cross.
But in the meantime, we who stand for
family and life are going to be under
sustained barrage by these powerful forces.
There will be casualties, the blood of
martyrs will flow, but we also know that
it is death to self that ultimately leads
to life.
Family is Under 'Permanent Attack'
by United Nations, Says Cardinal

- The Cardinal Archbishop of Guadalajara,
Mexico, Juan Sandoval Iñiguez,
gave a speech Sunday in which he lashed
out at the United
Nations and other international organizations
that he says are
running a campaign to destroy the family.
"The
family is being permanently attacked,"
said the cardinal at a meeting of the
international Catholic relief organization,
Caritas. "And the
organizations that are in charge of
rearranging the family are powerful
organizations, beginning with the United
Nations Organization, the World Bank,
the Interamerican Bank, the big leftist
parties in the world."
The
United Nations Organization, said the
cardinal, has been promoting a new concept
of "gender" since 1995.
"Gender isn't something like [the
sex of a person], but rather a relationship,
with whomever I interact sexually,"
he added.
"If
we so decide, for example, bestiality,
well that would be another gender, doing
it with animals, fetishism, where men
get excited by feminine dress and live
that way."
Sandoval
Iñiguez observed that the
same organizations are also vigorously
promoting the legalization of abortion
in poorer countries, promoting the idea
of "the right of the woman over
her body, and it is propagated
everywhere, and they have required governments,
because they are in debt, they have
required governments to accept abortion
in their laws."
The
cardinal's comments come in response
to an increasingly intense campaign
waged in recent months by Mexican pro-abortion
and homosexualist groups, often funded
and coordinated by foreign organizations
and governments, to change Mexico’s
laws on abortion and gay “marriage.”

to me to live is Christ, and to die is
gain." (Phil 1:21)
