You don’t want to miss this event. Dear Friend, Chloe Cole is a leading voice protecting children from dangerous and harmful gender ideology. Why? Because as a “detransitioner”, she has firsthand experience of the serious consequences of transitioning her biological body to match her confused view of gender identity. Now, at 18 years old, she is suing the medical doctors who altered her body, lied to her parents, and did not properly inform her of the risks and irreversible effects of transitioning. She is a victim of this radical agenda. Her voice needs to be heard and magnified.  Chloe has been featured in the Epoch Times, Prager U, FOX News, and many other media outlets. We are thankful that she will be joining us for a fundraiser on Thursday, Sept 28, in support of our Get Out and Vote efforts for this year’s election. This is unlike our major Guardian of the Family Gala in previous years. Our vision for this event, and more to be announced soon, is to give you a closer, more personal encounter with our speakers, and to meet our team at the New Jersey Family Policy Center. Seats are limited. Your ticket purchase will help...

from Catholic Exchange AL SMITH Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen was a man for all seasons. Over his lifetime, he spent himself for souls, transforming lives with the clear teaching of the truths of Christ and His Church through his books, radio addresses, lectures, television series, and his many newspaper columns.   As a much sought-after lecturer, his topics ranged from the social concerns of the day to matters of faith and morals. With an easy and personable manner, Sheen could strike up a conversation on just about any subject, making numerous friends as well as converts.  During his presentations, Archbishop Sheen would offer his trademark words of benediction, “God love you”. Sheen explained that his phrase “God love you” means God is love, God loves you, and you ought to love God in return.  Along with his familiar parting phrase of “God love you”, Archbishop Sheen was known for beginning his lectures with the greeting “Friends”. This salutation had a twofold meaning: he was referring to the scripture passage “I no longer call you servants… instead, I have called you friends.” (John 15:15). And, he wanted to make friends with men and women of all faiths, in the hope of...

“Education in love: affectivity and sexuality. How to accompany young people” 08 June 2021 (ANS – Rome) – In the last two weeks of May and the first of June, delegates, consecrated persons and lay people from all the Provinces of the world participated in three formative sessions organized by the Youth Ministry Sector. This initiative was conceived in response to the need of the Provinces to form and share the pastoral and moral keys for the affective-sexual education of young people, thinking of educational criteria. The participation was very numerous and representative of the various realities: a total of about 580 people across three days. With great competence and skill, Professor Javier de la Torre introduced the participants to very delicate and significant issues on an educational-pastoral level, but also on a personal level. In the first meeting, the pastoral and moral keys for the affective sexual education of young people were provided. They started from a horizon in which there are insufficient models of sexuality education to arrive at principles of sexuality education that envisage a path of knowledge – as opposed to ignorance -, of openness and communication – as opposed to silence -, of attention and...

The Saints Can Teach Us How to Forgive

by | Jul 6, 2020 | Forgiveness, Happiness, Healing

It goes against our sinful human nature to renounce vengeance and to leave our malefactors unpunished, but this is what is expected of us. “‘Vengeance is mine; I will repay,’ says the Lord.” (Rom. 12:19).  This very difficult teaching was obeyed by the saints — although in some cases, not without much struggle — and […] Source: The Saints Can Teach Us How to...
