Thank you to the Catholic Courier for their article highlighting the wonderful work being done by Mt. Carmel House! The volunteers and staff are truly doing God’s work, caring for the dying.
If you are looking to volunteer with a worthy organization, give them a call!
Thank you to everyone who attended our annual White Mass! Thank you also, especially, to Bishop Matano. We could not ask for a more supportive shepherd!
Please take a moment to read the NY State Catholic Bishops’ statement on the (so-called) Equal Rights Amendment (aka Proposition One). This will be on the ballot and we urge you to be informed!
The Bishops conclude:
“Proposal 1 is a wolf in sheep’s clothing that could lead to darkness for many New York families. This amendment disregards the lives of unborn and struggling children in the name of political agendas. It could have dangerous consequences for these children and their parents. As they look to make their voices heard in the public square, faithful Catholics should consider these consequences and vote no. Likewise, they should thoughtfully vote their informed conscience up and down the ballot so that we might usher in change for good.”
Please take a moment to review the important issues raised by the So-Called Equal Rights Amendment Proposal One
Dr. Carroll recently published a paper taking a deep dive into the issue of psychedelics being used for treatment of various conditions. Can a faithful Catholic use, or support the use of, these substances? Excellent question, check it out!
Dr. Carroll recently partnered with Dr. Selinger, a philosopher at RIT, to publish an Op-Ed discussing empathy, AI, and medical practice.
We are excited to announce that the Finger Lakes Guild White Mass will be held at Sacred Heart Cathedral on October 27th at 11:15am. More details come soon. We hope to see you there!
ANAD fears that this label could be used as a justification for providers to offer medical aid in dying and overlook the fact recovery remains possible even after decades of chronic illness.
This is a very reasonable/real concern. We need to remember that while it may not be true of all supporters of PAS, there are those who truly think at need to be facilitating the killing of people who are suffering…in ever-larger numbers.
If you or someone you know is suffering from an eating disorder, please seek help. ANDA has a helpline and treatment directory. It can also contact MyCatholicDoctor for help from Catholic therapists licensed in many States.
While it is sad that this study was initiated with what seems to be an unquestioned assumption that it is, unusual, to “continue pregnancy after a life-limiting prenatal diagnosis”…we are very happy to see this result:
While we might choose a term like, “integral beauty” (the beauty of life is not some accident but rather is integral to life itself)…it is wonderful that this qualitative study included as an outcome, “…feelings of gratitude towards life…”
Hopefully this will picked up on by these and other researchers in the future!
