Catholics for Choosing Moloch at it again
10 hours 58 minutes agoNew York, December 1 - Two new radio advertisements for condom use began to target Catholics in the U.S. Hispanic community here today, World AIDS Day, with the message that "good Catholics use condoms" to protect the people they love.
The 60-second Spanish-language ads, which will air nationwide in 2009, "take on myths about condom use in Catholic and Latino communities," said a statement from the sponsors, the Washington-based nonprofit organization Catholics for Choice and the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health.
"Catholics use condoms because we know it is the responsible, loving and caring thing to do," said Jon OBrien, president of Catholics for Choice. Catholicism "has not always been honest about sex," he said, adding that the spots will "break the silence" in the Latino community and encourage safer sex.
Hispanics now suffer 20 percent of new U.S. HIV infections and Latina teens are twice as likely to have an unintended pregnancy as their non-Hispanic peers, said Silvia Henriquez, executive director of the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health. "It is time we protect ourselves and our partners."
One of the ads features a grandmother talking about her grandson, who is gay, and the other involves a couple discussing the importance of love, faith and condom use in their relationship. "We are Catholics and people of faith and we know sex is sacred and that we need to take care of each other. And this means using a condom every time we have sex," the second ad says.
Well if "good Catholics" use condoms, than Lord preserve me in being a "bad Catholic" in their understanding. This is certainly part of what Isaiah said "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil."
They also dont explain why a Catholic couple faithful to Church teaching would ever need a condom in the first place? Fidelity to the marriage covenant is a hundred percent effective on STDs. Though I guess there view of the world is that you cant trust your spouse. Or that fornication/adultery are acceptable choices anyway. But for them it is all "good." Plus they are using the old time eugenics policies of Planned Parenthood, that is going after minorities. - [Read more] |
Blessed Advent!
November 30, 2008 02:21:18
Three years ago I decided to create my own Advent Wreath graphic instead of just using the normal animated gif that I used previously. If you would like it for your own blog you can use the html code below which uses some homepage server space that wont effect the bandwidth for my blog. I will replace the graphic each week so that it correctly shows the number of candles that should be lit. On Christmas I will change it to another graphic I created for Christmastide.
Additionally underneath my Advent graphic on my left side I have created a JavaScript that gives a countdown to Christmas. If you want to do the same thing you can insert this script into your blog template with the following code underneath where you place the graphic. Though WordPress.com users would be out of luck since they dont allow JavaScript.

Abortion and contraception sleaze
November 29, 2008 19:22:02The British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS), often called the "Planned Parenthood of the UK" has release an ad to promote morning-after (abortion) pills. The St. Johns Valdosta Blog has the ad which has to be seen to be believed. Though you will need a palate cleanser afterward.
In other sleazy news Dawn Eden passes along the following information to me.
Planned Parenthood, which made headlines a few months back with its ultra-creepy teen sex-ed Web site TakeCareDownThere.org (which now has its offensive videos back online after having taken them down temporarily), also produces the utterly puerile "Speaking of Sex" YouTube series and podcast .Â
The latest taxpayer-subsidized "Speaking of Sex" video is unusually revolting and offensive, even for Planned Parenthood. Its aimed, as usual, at teens--but send your little ones out of the room before watching it on Planned Parenthoods official YouTube site:,

Incidentally, at the bottom of Planned Parenthoods Web page on in-clinic abortion , the organization promises, "A short video about abortion procedures is under production." Something tells me it wont look anything like Father Frank Pavones excellent "This Is Abortion" series. - [Read more] |
