So much talk amongst right wing Catholics of the erosion of religious liberty, the collapse of all things and the coming persecution. Talk of government detention centers and priests being shot like Bl. Miguel Pro.

I don’t think they get it. That’s not what it will be like.

Last month, on Valentine’s Day, student Paul Gomille circulated 136 copies of a speech that he had written. He passed them out in the cafeteria of his Toronto-area Catholic high school. The speech was on the topic of a woman’s inner beauty — Mr. Gomille, 17, clearly believes that many of his female peers do not treat each other, or themselves, with due respect, and he wishes that everyone would focus more on how wonderful they are on the inside and not how attractive they can make themselves on the outside.

A Priest recently denied Ms. Johnson Communion in the Archdiocese of Washington in a story outlined here and here.

Update: March 5th, 2012

To summarize the situation Ms. Johnson was attending the funeral of her mother, who is a devout Catholic.  Before the Funeral Mass begun Rev. Marcel Guarnizo met with Ms. Johnson and learned that she was co-habitating with her lesbian lover. Ms. Johnson was told by Fr. Guarnizo, not to come up for communion, but did anyways.  Fr. Guarnizo then denied her communion on the basis that she was in the state of mortal Sin.  Upset with this she expressed her anger; sent a letter to the ArchDiocese of Washington, and went to the media to make national headlines.

Pope Benedict XVI has launched a surprise attack on climate change prophets of doom, warning them that any solutions to global warming must be based on firm evidence and not on dubious ideology.

Two ethicists working with Australian universities argue in the latest online edition of the Journal of Medical Ethics that if abortion of a fetus is allowable, so to should be the termination of a newborn.

Alberto Giubilini with Monash University in Melbourne and Francesca Minerva at the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics at the University of Melbourne write that in “circumstances occur[ing] after birth such that they would have justified abortion, what we call after-birth abortion should be permissible.”
