Fr. Joseph Illo joins Patrick to discuss Sanctity of Life
- (8:45) how do the readings tie into today’s prayer for legal protection for the unborn?
- (12:10) Larry - Why does the Catholic Church take more of a mission covering abortion, but what about homicide...the taking of life of another. Is it okay for the state to take the life of another human being in retribution?
- Where in the bible does it talk about the importance of life?
(20:46) Break 1
- (24:13) Walt - Fr Paul Marx...founder of human life international...any country that accepts contraception is sure to have abortion. He traveled the world over trying to stop abortion from being legalized. A lot of clergy and Catholics afraid to talk about it. We need to talk about it.
- Casey - Every night we pray the rosary for the end to abortion. What are you praying for? A politician to change his mind or the holy trinity to straighten the world out to get people on the right track? I pray the blessed Virgin shows up to straighten the world out.
- Matthew - Founder of Oakland Co., California Walk for Life...If we can't get out of the womb, how can we solve the problems outside the womb. I believe this has a lot of wisdom to hit...not just for African Americans, but for all people. This is why we see a lot of violence and other issues. All linked to abortion.
(38:05) Break 2
- What does it mean that human life has dignity?
- (43:16) Cindy - about 50 years ago, i was expecting a baby through criminal sexual assault. I heard a voice say this baby is good...this daughter is sacred and will do good. She's at the march for life right now! Everyone is sacred and destined to do good.
- Can we lose our dignity if we sin?
- What can we do to help fight for life in our world today?
