Pro-Abortion Mom Makes Child Hold “Stay Out of My Womb” Sign With F-Bomb

Pro-Abortion Mom Makes Child Hold “Stay Out of My Womb” Sign With F-Bomb

Whoa!!!   It's bad enough when adults carry pro-abortion signs, with or without vulgar words

Popes John XXIII and John Paul II to be Canonized

http://www.ewtnnews.com/catholic-news/Vatican.php?id=7990

Okay, just a couple of thoughts, now that I've stopped cheering!

1: I wasn't a Catholic yet, and had no idea that I ever would be,

used the Yiddish words for anti-Semite.)

2: I felt for years after I joined the Church that there was too big a gap
between the Joyful and Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary, and so I
was VERY happy when John Paul II added the Luminous Mysteries.

New Item in Break-Off Collection

The rectangular, aluminum foil-covered handle came off the door to the medicine cabinet yesterday morning.
The door is a sliding door, and can be moved back and forth without a handle.
So now I have a new item in my Break-off Collection.
