CMA Responds to AMA on Abortion

The Catholic Medical Association has issued a clear and compassionate response to the American Medical Association’s pro-abortion statement.  A brief sample:

 

“An authentic and patient-centered practice of medicine has always and should always recognize the intrinsic value of human life in the mother’s womb,” said Dr. Greg Burke, Co-Chair of CMA’s Ethics Committee.

“As a medical organization that claims to represent the physicians of this country, how far away from the Hippocratic oath has the AMA deviated to say that dismembering a baby in the second trimester of pregnancy is healthcare?”

Keeping Our Gaze on Christ as His Faithful Church

Christ’s Church has always faced challenges in our fallen world.  Our generation has found itself in the midst of the clergy abuse scandal, which poses a serious challenge to the Church’s moral standing in the public square and is causing some to leave the Church.

It is up to us to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in articulating the Church’s beliefs and doing what we can to heal these terrible wounds inflicted on the Body of Christ.  Please consider joining us as we lend our support to the Catholic Moms of Rochester who are presenting what promises to be a very informative and inspiring program on November 9, 9am to noon, at St. Patrick’s Church in Victor.

What blessing to have the opportunity to hear two great speakers and then spend time in Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament!  Please do join us!

If you would like to attend, please register via email at catholicmomsofrochester@gmail.com

Journal Club Last Night

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our quarterly Journal Club yesterday evening!

We had a great turnout with wide-ranging and inspiring discussion about the technocratic influences in medicine and our society in general.

Ultimately we agree that we can perhaps occasionally fight the ‘big fight’ against such dehumanizing forces…and…we must never lose sight of the ways in which we can, in our everyday lives, intentionally maintain/restore human connections.

Again, thank you to everyone who was able to make it last night. We will be announcing our next Journal Club date and topic soon, so stay tuned!

Human Trafficking: A Panel Discussion on Monday, 11/4, from 7-9pm at the Interfaith Chapel at the U of R
