Not Another Pro-Abortion Catholic!

1. More from the personnel is policy department. Now it appears that Kathleen Sebelius, the Governor of Kansas, is on line to be appointed head of Health and Human Services. You may remember that this Governor, who is Catholic, was barred by her bishop from Communion for her pro-abortion policies, and is most famous for hosting a fund-raiser and tribute in the Governor's mansion for the notorious late-term abortionist Dr. Tiller. Maybe she can trade theology insights with Mrs. Pelosi and Mr. Biden.

2. The Holy Father speaks on Italy's version of the Terri Schiavo case. The article also provides a pretty decent summary of where things are, in case you haven't been following it.

3. Here's a good wrap-up of the credulous press coverage of the whole "abortion reduction" canard. Archbishop Chaput nails the whole issue, as usual.

4. The Times, in all its glory, writes about families with large numbers of kids (i.e., more than 3) with a sense of cultural incomprehension that is palpable. Funny how the word "love" only appears once in the article, where the author notes that some doubt that there's enough love to go around. I guess in the Times' view of the world there's only a limited supply of love.

5. Interesting profile of the Bishop Martino of Scranton, who is considered "controversial" i.e., he actually believes what the Church does and teaches it boldly).

6. It appears that some couples are putting off their divorce because of the economic hard times. Let's hope Congress doesn't' do anything to "stimulate" divorces.

7. The butcher involved in the abortion/murder in Florida has had his license to kill suspended in Florida. As of today, though, his NY medical license was still active. Of course, if the doctor had just murdered the baby in the womb, as originally planned, he would still be in good standing in Florida and New York, and no doubt a respected member of the community (and he might have been invited to the Governor's mansion in Kansas).
