Go to the Source, Not to the Spin

We all need to ask ourselves: Do I listen carefully to the voice of Christ's Vicar on earth?

Do I pay attention to the guidance God wants to give me through His Church?

Do I value this great gift properly and actively? In past ages, before the Internet, and much further in

the past, before the printing press, people had an excuse for wondering what Christ's Church was saying about current issues and events.

It wasn't so easy to find the teaching of Christ's Vicar. Not so for us. For us, it is easy. We can keep up with the

voice of the Vicar with a few clicks of the mouse. We all use many sources of news and social commen-

tary. We owe it to ourselves, and to Christ, and to the Church, to use regularly at least one reliable source that gives the Church's perspective and the Church's news.

We shouldn't learn about what Christ is saying through the false interpretations of Christ's enemies; we should go right to the sources themselves.

And it's so easy! A good Catholic news service, the weekly national Catholic

Newspaper (www.ncregister.com), has many of its articles available online; www.zenit.org publishes all of the Pope’s discourses and sends out a daily Church news email.

Some people have the home page of their computer set to Catholic sites so that the first thing they see are headlines about what the Pope is saying and what's going on in the Church. Others have made the commitment not to check the sports page until they've checked the Catholic headlines.

Christ is constantly speaking to us, giving us the meaning behind the headlines.

Few things would please Him more than if we renewed our commitment to listen well.

Unplanned is the inspiring true story of one woman’s journey

of transformation. All Abby Johnson ever wanted to do was help women. As one of the youngest Planned Parenthood clinic di-rectors in the nation, she was involved in upwards of 22,000 abortions and counseled countless women about their repro-ductive choices. Her passion surrounding a women’s right to choose even led her to become a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood, fighting to enact legislation for the cause she so deeply believed in—-until the day she saw something that changed everything, leading Abby Johnson to join her former enemies at 40 Days For Life, and become one of the most ardent pro-life speakers in America. Take a friend and go see this movie. It is truly life changing. In select theaters March 29th.
