]]> Comment on California parental consent proposal leading in polls by Jacob Nieder http://portalcot.com/church/california-parental-consent-proposal-leading-in-polls/comment-page-1/#comment-284 Jacob Nieder Sat, 27 Sep 2008 14:02:57 +0000 http://portalcot.com/church/?p=334#comment-284 jctaytlor wrote, "This is not asking too much...there are recourses if she lives with an abusive parent." Proposition 4's writers say they crafted a measure that would permit girls in potentially abusive situations to get an abortion without their parents being notified. To do so, they would need to tell another adult relative. But a girl can use this option only if she makes a written accusation alleging that her parents are repeat child abusers, with the complaint to be turned over to authorities. Spoiler language like this makes it hard to believe that Proposition 4 is chiefly about girls' safety. Family violence against women and children is all too common and takes many forms. The most serious is homicide by an abusive parent. Guns can easily turn domestic violence and/or child abuse into domestic homicide. In 2006, there were 1,836 females murdered by males in single victim/single offender incidents that were submitted to the FBI for its Supplementary Homicide Report. jctaytlor wrote, “This is not asking too much…there are recourses if she lives with an abusive parent.” Proposition 4’s writers say they crafted a measure that would permit girls in potentially abusive situations to get an abortion without their parents being notified.

]]> Comment on Cardinal Egan joins criticism of Nancy Pelosi’s abortion remarks by barbara http://portalcot.com/church/cardinal-egan-joins-criticism-of-nancy-pelosi%e2%80%99s-abortion-remarks/comment-page-1/#comment-184 barbara Thu, 28 Aug 2008 11:04:36 +0000 http://portalcot.com/church/?p=201#comment-184 Since when has Nancy Pelosi been chosen to erroneously speak in behalf of 65 million Catholics in this country. What upsets me most is that Catholocism is being used as a platform for votes to compensate for the lost Evangelical vote. No true Christian, in my opinion, believes that it it anyone's choice except that of our Creator to give and take life. Nancy time and time again shows her lack of being up to the office she holds, and has absolutely no right to speak for any church.

And young people want answers. So they are delighted that someone intends to improve them, someone who makes them want to be better people.

THIS WOULD BE A WONDERFUL OPERTUNITY TO PROJECT TO THE WORLD THE SHRINE AT KNOCK IN THE WEST OF IRELAND.WHERE we believe an apparition occurred in Aug 1879 Full details www.knock-shrine.ie .Known as a Marian Shrine it is in fact the only place in the World where the "LAMB OF GOD" WAS THE CENTRE PIECE OF AN APPARITION . There are none more blind ......etc. THE BASILICA opened in 1976 has 5 divided chapels centering onto a central alter .What a wonderful way of showing the state of our divided churched all believing in one Holy Trinity but separated by massive concrete walls . thanks for acepting my comment I have just read your summary and as a Practicing Catholic in Ireland I look forward to the congress in 2012 DUBLIN .
