Comment on Survived Another Childless Mother’s Day! | James Pat Guerréro

A Lu Cong painting of a woman

Having a large family, I see the powerful importance of motherhood and childhood.  Children seek their mothers, not only in their childhood, but also in all their adult life.  Of course, it is a physical and metaphysical relationship of the highest order.  Never ending, yet transitioning to new and even higher levels.  The mother and child keenly feel, think, experience, and love their relationship.  The mother is the helper, the protector – one whom the child turns first, and always.  As the child grows to maturity, the understanding of the relationship expands and unifies, as the father looks upon a God-likeness with awe.

However, I always have called every one of my four daughters, “Mother,” since they were babies.   As every woman is truly a mother.  Equally, every child sees a woman as mother, first.

Murder in Boston and Philadelphia | Gingrich Productions

Murder in Boston and Philadelphia

Callista and I are in London today to attend the funeral of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. I will write more about Baroness Thatcher’s extraordinary life and her incomparable legacy in Friday’s newsletter.

But as we celebrate the life of Margaret Thatcher, we mourn the loss of life from Monday’s terror bombings in Boston. Callista and I have in our prayers the families of the murder victims and all those who have been injured. We must be relentless as a nation in finding out who committed this atrocity and ensuring that they receive swift justice.

The bombings in Boston were a barbaric devastation of many innocent lives. Facts are still scarce, but we know that the true loss from these acts will be immeasurable. The lives not lived, the contributions not made, the time not spent, the plans unfulfilled, we will never know. But their loss is real. An eight-year-old boy was among those who died. He had just hugged his father who had completed the race before one of the bombs exploded. Reports indicate that many of the injured have lost limbs, including many children. The cruelty is inhuman.

The killing and maiming at the marathon remind us how fragile human life remains, and brought back a sense of vulnerability that many Americans have not felt for years.

We have watched for several decades as a culture of death has grown both here and abroad. Sometimes the culture of death leads to terrorist attacks upon the innocent. At other times the culture of death creates an entire industry of killing.

The callous acts of murder in Boston share the newspaper columns today with horrible details from the Gosnell murder trial in Philadelphia, where jurors are hearing testimony about the atrocities committed for decades against women and children at the hands of Kermit Gosnell and his staff at the “Women’s Medical Society” abortion clinic in West Philadelphia.

After what can only be described as a self-imposed embargo, the national media is ever so slowly beginning to cover the Gosnell murder trial.

It is amazing that the media has been slow to cover this story.

The Gosnell trial challenges the conscience of our nation – and its media – about abortion perhaps more than any other event since the Supreme Court sanctioned abortion on demand as a constitutional right in its 1973 decision Roe v. Wade.

If you want to know what happens to a society when it decides that some category of lives are not worthy of the protection of the law, read the grand jury report in the Gosnell case. The grand jury testimony indicates that Kermit Gosnell is a mass murderer.

But first, a warning. The descriptions in the report are harrowing, as are the excerpts below. Be prepared.

Here are among the most chilling excerpts from the report:

•  [H]e regularly and illegally delivered live, viable, babies in the third trimester of pregnancy – and then murdered these newborns by severing their spinal cords with scissors. The medical practice by which he carried out this business was a filthy fraud in which he overdosed his patients with dangerous drugs, spread venereal disease among them with infected instruments, perforated their wombs and bowels – and, on at least two occasions, caused their deaths.
• Karnamaya Mongar …was a 41-year old, refugee who had recently come to the United States from a resettlement camp in Nepal…She received repeated unmonitored, unrecorded intravenous injections of Demerol, a sedative seldom used in recent years because of its dangers…After several hours, Mrs. Mongar simply stopped breathing.
• Scattered throughout, in cabinets, in the basement, in a freezer, in jars and bags and plastic jugs, were fetal remains. It was a baby charnel house.
• When you perform late-term “abortions” by inducing labor, you get babies. Live, breathing, squirming babies. By 24 weeks, most babies born prematurely will survive if they receive appropriate medical care…Gosnell had a simple solution for the unwanted babies he delivered: he killed them…The way he ensured fetal demise was by sticking scissors into the back of the baby’s neck and cutting the spinal cord. He called that “snipping.” Over the years, there were hundreds of “snippings.”
• Gosnell made little effort to hide his illegal abortion practice. But there were some, “the really big ones,” that even he was afraid to perform in front of others. These abortions were scheduled for Sundays, a day when the clinic was closed and none of the regular employees were present. Only one person was allowed to assist with these special cases – Gosnell’s wife.
• Pennsylvania is not a third-world country. There were several oversight agencies that stumbled upon and should have shut down Kermit Gosnell long ago. But none of them did, not even after Karnamaya Mongar’s death. In the end, Gosnell was only caught by accident, when police raided his offices to seize evidence of his illegal prescription selling.

You can download the full Gosnell Grand Jury Report here.

Reading the report is hard. It will make you weep. But I urge you to read it. For I believe if we hope to be a moral nation, America must come to terms with the Gosnell Grand Jury Report and what it means for our laws and for our public life.

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania carries a special burden in this regard. As the grand jury report makes painstakingly clear, time after time, local and state officials in Pennsylvania looked the other way when presented with credible information that something was terribly wrong at the Gosnell abortion clinic.

In fact, the largest part of the report is an 82-page section titled “How Did This Go On So Long?” In it, we learn that as far back as December 2001 – a full nine years before the clinic was finally shut down following a FBI raid – the Pennsylvania Department of State received a detailed written complaint about Gosnell’s clinic. But it was to no avail. The Department took no meaningful follow up action. It failed to subpoena records. It also failed to conduct an inspection of the clinic, which would have almost certainly led to its immediate shut down. And when the Department’s investigation about the complaint was finally handed over to prosecuting attorneys two years later, the state attorneys declined to prosecute.

The willful blindness that took place among a number of responsible state officials in Pennsylvania calls to mind a similar pattern of avoidance of responsibility at Penn State that was revealed in the Sandusky sexual abuse trial. In both the Sandusky and Gosnell cases, a decade passed between the time credible complaints first surfaced against these monsters and the time when they were finally held to account.

In the Sandusky case, the Pennsylvania State Board of University Trustees decided that it had a responsibility to compile a full accounting of the failure of Penn State personnel to respond and report to public authorities the sexual abuse of children by Sandusky. It also wanted to know how such abuse could even take place within University facilities or under the auspices of University programs for youth. It therefore established a special investigative task force to investigate. And in turn, the task force engaged former FBI Director Louis Freeh and his law firm Freeh Sporkin & Sullivan to investigate.

It is time for the Governor of Pennsylvania and/or the Pennsylvania legislature to do something similar. There should be a special investigation undertaken by an independent body that addresses the same question raised by the Grand Jury Report: “How Did This Go On So Long in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania?”. The citizens of the Commonwealth have a right to know how and why its public officials failed in their duties to protect women and children. The special investigation should also make recommendations to the Pennsylvania legislature.

Louis Freeh and his team did a superb job leading the investigation of Penn State. He is exactly the type of person to lead up such an investigation of what went wrong in Pennsylvania.

The Gosnell trial is about more than Gosnell’s criminal acts, as horrific as they are. And it is about more than abortion, as harmful and deadly as abortion is to women and children. The Gosnell trial is also about whether we as individuals and as a culture will ultimately decide to reject the idea that we can arbitrarily decide without consequence who lives and who dies and instead re-embrace the idea that we will value and affirm every life, born and unborn.

In the wake of the horrific vision of a culture of death that is being revealed in Philadelphia and in Boston, which side will you be on?

Your Friend,
Newt

New College of Education study explores how tenure-track fathers negotiate work-family conflicts | Feature Stories

Sick kids. Sleepless nights. Conflicts between work and daycare.

Although research suggests that most dual-income couples share parenting duties, many people still believe that mothers are the true primary caregivers. And the most beleaguered.

But according to a new qualitative study out of The University of Texas at Austin, male tenure-track professors are experiencing their own set of work-family conflicts as well.

Just ask Jack, a father of two young children and a tenure-track assistant professor in the natural sciences:

“I could sleep standing up. The baby had an earache last night and cried for eight hours straight. My preschooler had the usual meltdown this morning as we were leaving and wouldn’t put his shoes on. I had an 8:30 meeting but didn’t get in until 9:00, and I didn’t remember until that minute that I’d volunteered to bring bagels.”

The difficulties mothers face shouldn’t be discounted. Biology is a factor — tenure demands usually coincide with the childbearing years. But fatherhood and career demands pose their own conflicts.

“As father involvement and work-family conflict increase across occupations, it seems to be manifest in these stressors,” said Dr. Richard Reddick, an assistant professor in the College of College of Education’s Department of Educational Administration.

Newt Gingrich is the only candidate conservative on immigration reform | James Pat Guerréro

Thinking immigrantly, one measures Newt Gingrich’s immigration policy in reverse, because other presidential Republican candidates don’t seem to state a real bona-fide policy. Other Republican candidates have not to this day explained their positions as though immigration reform is an afterthought. Amnesty is non-inclusive policy because it doesn’t conform to true conservatism: economically dangerous for the United States of America. Newt is against amnesty.

Newt wants to secure the border: and it will be – whether through fencing, electronic surveillance, increased patrols or all the above.

Immigration laws are in place and need to be enforced: Newt will enforce the immigration laws of the land.

The Guest Worker program is an important given policy,  and Newt supports this necessary program.

Lastly, with over 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States, one conservative must find the gaps in ALL of the illegal immigrants where the criminals are deported; and where the families who pay taxes, fight in the U.S. military, and contribute to American society remain under the conditions that they apply for legal citizenship, continue to pay taxes, learn English, contribute to American society, and take an oath to the United States Constitution.

Notice how the other Republican candidates don’t articulate on immigration reform, but they do say Newt is pro-amnesty, which is the furthest idea from Newt’s immigration transformation idea. In fact, other Republican candidates position themselves against reason and end up implying the break-up of many families: destructive of immigrant family cohesiveness – an important family/social conservative issue.

In Her Own Words

I will tell you what is my own great help. I once read or heard that an interior life means but the continuation of our Savior’s life within us; that the great object of all His mysteries is to merit for us the grace of His interior life and communicate it to us, it being the end of His mansion to lead us into the sweet land of his promise, a life of constant union with Himself. And what was the first rule of our dear Savior’s life? You know it was to do His Father’s will. Well, then, the first end I propose in our daily work is to do the will of God; secondly, to do it in the manner He wills; and thirdly, to do it because it is His will. I know what his will is by those who direct me; whatever they bid me to do, if it is ever so small in itself, is the will of God for me. Then do it in the manner He wills it, not sewing an old thing as if it were new, or a new thing as if it were old; not fretting because the oven is too hot, or in a fuss because it is too cold. You understand not flying and driving because you are hurried, not creeping like a snail because no one pushes you. Our dear Savior was never in extremes. The third object is to do His will because God wills it, that is, to be ready to quit at any moment and to do anything else to which you may be called . . . You think it very hard to lead a life of such restraint unless you keep your eye of faith always open. Perseverance is a great grace. To go on gaining and advancing every day, we must be resolute, and bear and suffer as our blessed forerunners did. Which of them gained heaven without a struggle? What are our real trials? By what name shall we call them? One cuts herself out a cross of pride; another, one of causeless dissent; another, one of restless impatience or peevish fretfulness. But is the whole any better than children’s play if looked at with the common eye of faith? Yet we know certainly that our God calls us to a holy life, that He gives us every grace, every abundant grace; and though we are so weak of ourselves, this grace is able to carry us through every obstacle and difficulty. But we lack courage to keep a continual watch over nature, and therefore, year after year, with our thousand graces, multiplied resolutions, and fair promises, we turn around in a circle of misery and imperfections. After a long time in the service of God, we come nearly to the point from when we set out, and perhaps with even less ardor for penance and mortification that when we began our consecration to him. You are now in your first set out. Be above the vain fears of nature and efforts of your enemy. You are children of eternity. Your immortal crown awaits you, and the best of Fathers waits there to reward your duty and love. You may indeed sow in tears here, but you may be sure there to reap in joy.

On All Hallow’s Eve and Politics | James Pat Guerréro

‘One is glad yesterday is over,’ someone said. All Hallow’s Eve, commonly called Halloween, is one of the most misinterpreted days of the year. Everyone tries to make something out of it, but no one and all agree together on what it really means. On the significance of Halloween is best understood in relation to All Saints Day, which is today, November 1st. Did one go to Mass?: it’s a Holy Day of Obligation.

Proceeding to explain in three succinct parts the judeo-christian perspective, which is not accepted, of course, but remains the best explanation in civilization thus far, whether one accepts it or not.

‘Why is one glad Halloween is over?’

Well, as President Reagan always started out, and thinking to himself why the misleading question was incorrectly stated, ‘You are not correct in asking.’ One should be sad, very sad, indeed, that Halloween is over. Halloween is the closest experience Americans have of secularists’ death without someone really dying, or a funeral and burial going on here and there, or someone who is very close to dying of deadly cancer, for instance. The Halloween experience is good for children, too, for even the beloved children will die today or tomorrow. And certainly children respond happily during Halloween – how does that happen?

Proceeding to explain the second point on why everyone does not agree.

On All Hallow’s Eve and Politics

The first thought is that the witches and warlocks must be very unhappy today. One imagines them to be cursing by this time of day, especially after one has been to Mass.  ‘The warriors have defeated us again,’ they remind themselves. Interesting that only the damned understand who the enemy really is: Jesus and all his Saints – and the church, one must not forget. The second thought is that politics is the field of supernatural warfare. Did the author mention anything about political correctness, or violent rhetoric, or physical fields of battle with cruise missiles, assault rifles, and improvised explosive devices (IED)? The supernatural spirit that wants one dead is the same supernatural spirit that wants one to disbelieve that American politics is good, is necessary, and is sufficient. Or, the other worse contingency is that one goes into physical battle, i.e., like the wars of the past, which is like the war of today: the infants/unborn fighting a losing battle.

Proceeding to explain the third and final point on how to understand Halloween in relation to All Saints Day.

On All Saints Day

The physical and mental pain and sometimes, horror, that the Saints have experienced is everything one encounters in life before acceptance with Jesus face to face. The saints meaningfully during their season of Halloween have visited the dead and have been visited by the dead. The saints, although having experienced physical death, have not died spiritually. Knowing the full brunt of hell was coming, the saints relied on the mercy of Jesus and placed their trust in him, and they passed from life to life. In politics, the hound of hell mercilessly pains the living soul to flee the silly practice of faith in the practical/political and useless world of ideas. Using Halloween to practice militancy in faith and politics means becoming saints. Go.

Liberals’ View of Darwin Unable to Evolve | Human Events | Ann Coulter

Amid the hoots at Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry for saying there were “gaps” in the theory of evolution, the strongest evidence for Darwinism presented by these soi-disant rationalists was a 9-year-old boy quoted in The New York Times.

After his mother had pushed him in front of Perry on the campaign trail and made him ask if Perry believed in evolution, the trained seal beamed at his Wicked Witch of the West mother, saying, “Evolution, I think, is correct!”

That’s the most extended discussion of Darwin’s theory to appear in the mainstream media in a quarter-century. More people know the precepts of kabala than know the basic elements of Darwinism.

There’s a reason the Darwin cult prefers catcalls to argument, even with a 9-year-old at the helm of their debate team.

Darwin’s theory was that a process of random mutation, sex and death, allowing the “fittest” to survive and reproduce, and the less fit to die without reproducing, would, over the course of billions of years, produce millions of species out of inert, primordial goo.

The vast majority of mutations are deleterious to the organism, so if the mutations were really random, then for every mutation that was desirable, there ought to be a staggering number that are undesirable.

Otherwise, the mutations aren’t random, they are deliberate — and then you get into all the hocus-pocus about “intelligent design” and will probably start speaking in tongues and going to NASCAR races.

We also ought to find a colossal number of transitional organisms in the fossil record — for example, a squirrel on its way to becoming a bat, or a bear becoming a whale. (Those are actual Darwinian claims.)

But that’s not what the fossil record shows. We don’t have fossils for any intermediate creatures in the process of evolving into something better. This is why the late Stephen Jay Gould of Harvard referred to the absence of transitional fossils as the “trade secret” of paleontology. (Lots of real scientific theories have “secrets.”)

If you get your news from the American news media, it will come as a surprise to learn that when Darwin first published “On the Origin of Species” in 1859, his most virulent opponents were not fundamentalist Christians, but paleontologists.

Unlike high school biology teachers lying to your children about evolution, Darwin was at least aware of what the fossil record ought to show if his theory were correct. He said there should be “interminable varieties, connecting together all the extinct and existing forms of life by the finest graduated steps.”

But far from showing gradual change with a species slowly developing novel characteristics and eventually becoming another species, as Darwin hypothesized, the fossil record showed vast numbers of new species suddenly appearing out of nowhere, remaining largely unchanged for millions of years, and then disappearing.

Darwin’s response was to say: Start looking! He blamed a fossil record that contradicted his theory on the “extreme imperfection of the geological record.”

One hundred and fifty years later, that record is a lot more complete. We now have fossils for about a quarter of a million species.

But things have only gotten worse for Darwin.

Thirty years ago (before it was illegal to question Darwinism), Dr. David Raup, a geologist at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, said that despite the vast expansion of the fossil record: “The situation hasn’t changed much.”

To the contrary, fossil discoveries since Darwin’s time have forced paleontologists to take back evidence of evolution. “Some of the classic cases of Darwinian change in the fossil record,” Raup said, “such as the evolution of the horse in North America, have had to be discarded or modified as a result of more detailed information.”

The scant fossil record in Darwin’s time had simply been arranged to show a Darwinian progression, but as more fossils were discovered, the true sequence turned out not to be Darwinian at all.

And yet, more than a century later, Darwin’s groupies haven’t evolved a better argument for the lack of fossil evidence.

To explain away the explosion of plants and animals during the Cambrian Period more than 500 million years ago, Darwiniacs asserted — without evidence — that there must have been soft-bodied creatures evolving like mad before then, but left no fossil record because of their squishy little microscopic bodies.

Then in 1984, “the dog ate our fossils” excuse collapsed, too. In a discovery The New York Times called “among the most spectacular in this century,” Chinese paleontologists discovered fossils just preceding the Cambrian era.

Despite being soft-bodied microscopic creatures — precisely the sort of animal the evolution cult claimed wouldn’t fossilize and therefore deprived them of crucial evidence — it turned out fossilization was not merely possible in the pre-Cambrian era, but positively ideal.

And yet the only thing paleontologists found there were a few worms. For 3 billion years, nothing but bacteria and worms, and then suddenly nearly all the phyla of animal life appeared within a narrow band of five million to 10 million years.

Even the eye simply materializes, fully formed, in the pre-Cambrian fossil record.

Jan Bergstrom, a paleontologist who examined the Chinese fossils, said the Cambrian Period was not “evolution,” it was “a revolution.”

So the Darwiniacs pretended they missed the newspaper that day.

Intelligent design scientists look at the evidence and develop their theories; Darwinists start with a theory and then rearrange the evidence.

These aren’t scientists. They are religious fanatics for whom evolution must be true so that they can explain to themselves why they are here, without God. (It’s an accident!)

Any evidence contradicting the primitive religion of Darwinism — including, for example, the entire fossil record — they explain away with non-scientific excuses like “the dog ate our fossils.”

The Nativity of the Virgin Mary – September 8 | America Needs Fatima

Many days passed before God finally completed the masterpiece of His creation. For nine months, the soul of Mary had given form to her virginal body, and the hour of her happy birth approached. As the suffocating Palestinian summer neared its end, the mellowing sun poured abundant torrents of golden light on the opulent plain of Samaria, ripening the rich orchards of autumn fruit. On a magnificent September day, with nature adorned in radiant beauty, the most Holy Virgin came into the world in the white-walled city of Nazareth.

She was probably born in the same house where the great mystery of the Incarnation later took place and where Jesus spent most of His childhood and youth in work and prayer. The angels did not acclaim the coming of the glorious Queen with hymns of joy as they later did the birth of the Savior. Invisible to the eyes of mortal men, the angels considered it an honor to mount guard around the humble crib over which Saints Joachim and Anne lovingly watched. The prophecy of Isaias had come to pass. The root of Jesse, ten centuries removed, had sprouted a new branch. On this same branch in but a few years more would blossom the eternal Flower, the Incarnate Word.

The Holy Name of Mary

The Everything Prayer to Our Lady

Her divine Son would soon appear representing a new dawn of hope upon a world plunged for four thousand years into the darkness of pain and death.

The day the Queen of Heaven was born ranks as one of the most beautiful in history since it announced to condemned mankind the long-awaited time of liberation. In commemorating this great event, the Church bursts forth in its enthusiasm: “Thy nativity, O Virgin Mother of God,” sings the Church in its liturgy, “has announced joy to the whole world”—Nativitas tua, Dei Genitrix Virgo, gaudium annuntiavit universo mundo.

Indeed, we seem to forget in what horrible distress the world lay prostrate before the coming of Christ.

The sin of our first parents had borne the fruit of death. Until the coming of the Savior, the curse of the Almighty lay heavily upon sinful humanity. Adam had eaten of the forbidden fruit in the wild hope of becoming like God. With terrible irony, God stripped him of his magnificent privileges and reduced him to extreme misery. Thus, the ancient world was founded upon oppression of the weak and disregard for human dignity. The greater part of mankind was subject to the torments of slavery. Even Rome, the proud bearer of civilization, considered the multitude of its slaves as but an immense herd destined for slaughter. Indeed, masters had the power to send their slaves to their deaths solely to amuse themselves. The refined patricians of the Imperial City would sometimes use these poor souls as fodder for the salt-water eels they raised. Nothing satisfied their gluttony more than these delicious marine eels, fattened on human blood.

The distress of souls was even more acute. Adam had supposed that he could do without God. He unappreciatively spurned his Sovereign Benefactor. God, in return, withdrew from His creature. He did not abandon mankind altogether, however, but spoke to him at rare intervals, announcing the future coming of a virgin who would crush the head of the serpent under her immaculate heel. He raised up prophets from among the people, yet He hid Himself within His inaccessible light.

Donahue Academy of Ave Maria Educational Rigidity is Un-Catholic | James Pat Guerréro

Communication and trust is key among parents and teachers on a child’s education. But in one function of a school the teacher’ s responsibility breaks down. It breaks down at Donahue Academy of Ave Maria on student’s assignments and homework. Specifically, it breaks down with the Assistant Head of School Dr. Marc Snyder of Donahue Academy of Ave Maria, who enforces the policy on assignments and homework.

Parents have the primary responsibility to educate their children. This is about as catholic as one can get. Where the responsible line can be broken is when the school is included in the chain of responsibility in a catholic setting. Here is where there can be un-catholic rules and standards applied. Parents and students are intact; that is, parents are involved, and the student is trying.

However, the school responds in an inordinate way. The school negates its responsibility in communication and trust by not reporting feedback on a student’s assignment and homework. The school believes that its only the student’s responsibility to write the assignment, and therefore, tell the parents on the assignment. Children aren’t as mature as teachers and parents and can and will get it wrong sometimes.

According to the policy the school has a third-party online education management system called RenWeb which lists all the student’s assignments, completed homework, disciplinary actions, grades, etc. – practically the whole student’s educational record. Parents login to RenWeb’s login page and discover it isn’t even activated.

Relating to assignments and homework RenWeb should contain a teacher’s assignments and due dates. Easily the parents verify the assignments, not through the student, but through RenWeb. Here the chain of responsibility continues. Where it breaks is when RenWeb doesn’t report the assignments. Either the teacher or the school is at fault. Dr. Marc Snyder is at fault for not continuing the responsibility.

The precise break in communication and trust is the relegation of responsibility to the student and not to the teacher for insuring that the parents get the assignment first and accurately. Rigidity in catholic education is really unnecessary because it’s like unjust war today. It’s unnecessary because in a technological world where communication is constant and ubiquitous war is unnecessary. So is educational rigidity.
