Michael Voris Bio:

At 47, president and founder Michael Voris is among the generations

of Catholics which simply didn’t receive thorough and accurate

catechesis. His searching blue eyes reveal an intense desire to

change that. Trained in theology at the doctrinally-sound St.

Joseph's Seminary in New York, he has been known to put a

damper on cocktail parties with a discussion on the consequences

of sin. Kind and charming, he is likewise unyielding in

his mission of notifying others of the existence of both God and

Satan, and that salvation comes through Jesus Christ and His

Bride, the Holy Catholic Church.

After several years in seminary he discerned that his vocation

lay elsewhere, and spent years working as a CBS affiliate anchor

in various markets and won multiple Emmys for his work in

broadcast news production. The success he enjoyed in his career

did not mollify a growing understanding of the darkness

engulfing the secular media today. His experiences there provided

him with not only the technical knowledge to produce

excellent television programming, but a profound grasp of the

need to produce programs that leave the viewer improved spiritually

rather than just entertained.

On May 8, 2006 a new state-of-the-art digital television studio

was dedicated to the archangel who Scripture promises will lead

the victorious battle against Satan at the end of time (Rev

12:07). Located in an outwardly humble building a half mile

north of the city of Detroit, it is the production center of what is

hoped will be many high quality Catholic programs to be distributed

nationwide. The twofold purpose of these programs is

educating a generation of Catholics largely ignorant of Church

teaching and saving souls from eternal damnation.

Voris is the host of St. Michael's Media's first show, aptly called

The One True Faith. To date, 65 episodes have been completed and

are airing in various markets in the United States.

Hello!

For all of those who regularly read my blog, I apologize for not posting in a while. I can't believe it's already June, the month of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus!

Last month was a busy month. (news flash!) Some highlights! (Besides the Notre Dame controversy):

We attended a rally with Americans for Life.

Jill Stanek, "the Worst Person in the World"

Mr. Scheidler also spoke


Then, the day after that, we made a pilgrimage up to Holy Hill near Milwaukee, Wisconsin with some of the Institute of Christ the King Apostalates. Canon Talarico gave a dynamic homily, you can read it here.

Notre Dame Scandal

"The fort is betrayed even of them that should have defended it." - St. John Fisher

After my mother saw the holy pro-life Fr. Westlin (yes, a Catholic priest!) get arrested at Notre Dame Friday - on a video from Jill Stanek's website- my (cool!) mother wanted to drive to Notre Dame as soon as possible. Thus, we arrived there on Saturday afternoon.

Outside the main entrance to the campus stood about 50-100 Pro-Lifers. There were at least 15 of us on each corner.

The Pro-Life plane was flying above us all day Sat. & Sunday.The "Truth Trucks" were out in full force too! Awesome drivers!

"A nation that kills it's own children is a nation WITHOUT HOPE" - Pope John Paul II

"Our tax $ funding abortions world wide - Mexico City Policy"

Prayer warriors! I took this picture while I was kneeling on the corner holding a Malachi sign with my sister. :)We decided to spend the night rather then driving back and forth from IL to South Bend. Anyway, we went to a rally with Dr. Keyes shortly after he was released from jail Sat. night. Mr. Randall Terry and Dr. Monica Miller also spoke and we saw Jill Stanek.

We ended our day with Eucharistic adoration with Bishop D'Arcy back on Notre Dame's campus.
Sunday- We found Fr.Pavone and attended the ND Response (on Campus) Outdoor Mass.

Walking back from Mass we wittnessed two arrests, one, the lady in white. While being escorted the second person, a man, said "Praised be Jesus Christ, now and forever!"

The Pro-Life plane hovering over Notre Dame Grads!

Unfortunatly we didn't get the chance to protest with the Pro-Life Action League instead we stayed at the Main gate (Angela and Notre Dame Dr.) for most of the day.

Sunday night we went to a another gathering with Fr. Corapi and Dr. Keyes.
Here is some of the video I took:


There may have been other speakers but we had to get home. It was a great ending to a busy week!

Jill Stanek has great posts on the protests on her website too!

Abortion/Breast Cancer Link

My mom just sent this e-mail out and Jill Stanek posted it on her website.


As I walked into Jewel today, I was approached by a women soliciting donations for the Avon Breast Cancer Walk. I took a brochure and when leaving spoke to her about how this company, along with the Susan B. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, denies the link between abortion and breast cancer. In addition to that, Komen gives monies directly to Planned Parenthood. I explained in a simple way, how abortion causes breast cancer: When a women has her monthly cycle, her breasts fill with a cancer causing toxin (estrogen). When she becomes pregnant, her cycle stops for the 9-month period. That in itself has always been an indisputable key factor to lowering breast cancer. The earlier a woman completes a full-term pregnancy, the better, and the more children, the better. Breastfeeding also helps stave off breast cancer.
But in addition, when a pregnancy is suddenly aborted, breasts that were preparing to nourish a baby are left with more undifferentiated, i.e., cancer-vulnerable cells, than before she was pregnant. The fact is, abortion can increase a woman's risk factor up to 260%!

As I was explaining this to the ill-informed volunteer, a woman and a man separately walked up with donations. I started explaining the ABC risk to them when the Avon rep rudely told me to leave. The man kept his money and walked out with me and thanked me!I realized I should complain to the store manager, so I did. The lady at the counter thanked me for the info and called the manager. I told them if the Avon campaigner was not removed, I was going home to get my 6-ft. picture of an aborted baby and coming back!Well, the manager said, he didn't think that was necessary. Still, I left for my sign, but when I got back to the store, the Avon rep was gone, praise God!

Pro-Lifer's First Amendment Rights Violated

Update: Thomas More Society Promises Vigorous Defense of Peaceful Protestor

Peaceful picketer, Randy M., was arrested Saturday morning at the Planned Parenthood mega-abortion facility in Aurora, Illinois, based on the bogus charge by a Planned Parenthood employee that Randy was engaged in "disorderly conduct."Mind you that Randy was on the public sidewalk, over 50 feet from Planned Parenthood's mega-abortion facility, peacefully preaching to the workers who were entering the building.Thomas More Society is currently suing the City of Aurora in Federal Court in Chicago and this violation of Randy's First Amendment rights may be added to the suit. In any event, TMS attorneys will defend Randy vigorously - and will fight this frivolous charge as far as necessary to secure justice for him and pro-life advocates like him.

Here is my Mom's perspective:

Thank you so much for your prayers and concern! Maybe you can tell in the video, I was not clear, and still am not, clear on what the charges are/were for Randy's arrest. Randy told me to call for help. (which I did, running and crying hysterically to my car) After an hour of holding Randy in the police car, which they moved to the Planned Parenthood parking lot sanctuary, where we are never allowed to go, then frisked him and took him and transferred him to a paddy wagon and took him to the station. (Dolores did a great job videotaping and asking why Randy was being arrested!) She is lucky they didn't confiscate her camera like a cop threatened to at the last rally! - That cop told us it was against an ESE dropping law and that he'd arrest her!

Anyway, Dolores and me followed the paddy wagon and after consulting Ann Scheidler at Pro-life Action and Tom Brechja sp? of St. Thomas More Law, I posted bail for Randy, $75.00.

So when I called the Bail desk and asked officer Jenkins what the charges were, she said she could not tell me but that Randy would when he got out.
Randy was not allowed to make a phone call either!

Randy came out and said he was 'Happy to be deemed worthy by God to suffer for Him' in the next breath, he said, not that he had suffered any great pains.' Humble Randy!!!

Eric showed up at the station and did a little interview and took Randy back to the abortion mill where Sylvia was holding his sign for him!
(I had a prior commitment) I hope they had a round of applause for him.

Randy, still not clear of what the charges are/were, said that he was sighting Bible quotes about judgment to the employees, and abortionist from the sidewalk, behind the newly planted bushes at the mill as they arrived in the morning. Yes, he told then that they will be judged! Is this illegal?

The cops said that they got a call from Planned Parenthood that Randy scared one of the employees!!

Randy, our hero, who braves not only the winters cold, summers heat, but neighbors constantly harassing him, cussing, yelling, getting out to fight with him, throwing things, people putting Planned Parenthood stickers put on his car and the police never do anything for him.

Tom Brecha (sp?) of St. Thomas More Law will be representing Randy. If you can help financially at all to defend Randy, I know Tom could use your help. We have been in Tom's office when he generously allowed us pro-lifers to have lunch there during a summer 'Face the Truth Tour'. Tom Brecha is also a very humble attorney with a simple office.

Thanks again for all of your prayers ~

PLEASE CHECK IT OUT!!!
THE BEST NEWS OF THE DAY - THERE WAS A SAVE!!!!!!!!!!! PRAISE GOD!!!!!

Louder Than Words

The SpeakOut Illinois Confrence is coming up on Saturday. I'm submitting this essay for the essaycontest:

It is a normal, hectic, weekend and among all your other priorities, you volunteered to pray at the local Planned Parenthood. On the way there, you stop at your near-by coffee shop to grab a cup to go. As you are waiting for your coffee, you see your friend. After asking her if she had any plans for the day, you invite her to join you on your quest. Surprisingly, your friend looks at you dumb-founded. You both become uncomfortable as she starts twirling her hair, biting her lip and making excuses as to why she can’t join you. She ends the conversation with an uneasy smile and walks away.

This scenario could play out in many different ways; whether it’s a friend at school, a family member at a holiday party, or even a complete stranger. Whoever it may be, we need to take a stand for life. Today, many people are ill-informed, lied to, or just don’t know the facts. We need to reach out to these people where they are and feed them the truth. They may not hear it anywhere else, they may reject it, but still, once the truth is spoken, it can not be unheard.

People are being misguided and lied to by the media and/or abortion industry. Pro-life activists are being portrayed as being “abortion clinic bombers,” “women haters” and or “religious fanatics”. Pro-Life teens could be labeled as “freaks,” “un-cool,” “weird,” etc., by their friends and peers. This peer pressure doesn’t end at graduation either. Many pro-life adults are afraid to speak the truth in fear of losing their jobs, being labeled as “judgmental” and being blackballed by friends and neighbors.

The fact is, at least sixty percent of the U.S. population is pro-life. The proverbial squeaky wheel is getting the grease. Our tax dollars are funding abortion and many don’t even know it. The medical industry, doctors whom we are to trust with our lives no longer take the Hippocratic Oath, instead, they have fancy titles like, ‘selective reduction’ and ‘DNC’. Babies are being killed, women are being lied to and deceived, whole countries are in economic ruin, it’s a no win situation. The United States in now seeing suicide rates the heights it has ever seen, coincidence? Over fifty million babies and their potential families have already been exterminated by abortion in our country. The dark culture of death is swallowing more of our country, making it too dark for some to see the light.

With the new pro-abortion President, deceptive politicians and media, the future of the pro-life movement can look pretty bleak. There must be a renewed pro-life effort in these hard times, to become encouraged and not discouraged. Even if total success is not within our grasp, we must succeed in standing up for the truth.

Praying for an end to abortion is only the first step in becoming active. As Father Pavone once said, ‘You don’t tell to a drowning person that you will pray for them’. No, you go and try to help the person who is drowning.” Another analogy could be preparing for a test. You don’t only pray to do well on the test, you have to study. We cannot be idol when innocent people are being killed. We have to go out into the world and try to save them. If they were killing two year olds, would we make time to get there?

As Christians, we are all called to live the Gospel of Life in all aspects. By living a life of prayer, we can obtain the strength and graces needed to take on the culture of death. Not just witnessing to some, but to all, even when it’s tough, even when it’s being a fool for Christ. The old Baltimore Catechism of the Catholic Church reminds us why we are here, to know Him, love Him and serve Him as to be united with Him in Heaven. If we all, ‘Become as little children,’ we shall be rewarded in Heaven. This advice relates to another story in the Old Testament days, of Sadrach, Meshach and Abednego. They are the three children who would not bow to a pagan culture of death. Reminding ourselves of God’s promise and keeping our eyes focused on Him, let’s place our hope in God almighty and not in politicians. Uniting for life, we will become a culture of life.

March for Life 2009

Just got back from the March for Life in DC! An estimated 300,000 people marched!

We arrived in at our hotel in DC on Wednesday, the 21st at 6:00pm. My mom drove for 14 hours!

On Thursday we took the subway to the National Basilica to attend a Latin Mass. While we were at the Basilica we saw Fr. Captiverti (sp). We met him in Alabama about 4 years ago when we stalked Fr. Pavone and the members of Priests for Life.

After mass we ran to the hotel and saw Fr. Jarrod McCambridge from the Fraternity of St. Peter. We met Father when he was a Seminarian doing a Face the Truth Tour in Aurora, Illinois about five years ago - that was our first Face the Truth Tour. It was so good to see him and get a blessing!

Then we walked to the National Mall. There were great graphic displays along the way.

Surprisingly we found some friends from home and Fr. Hellmann of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest. Fr. Hellmann got transferred from the Shrine of Christ the King in Chicago to a church in New Jersey. He brought about 50 people to the march from his church.

We saw Fr. Trigilio while marching.

When we got to the Supreme Court building we listened to some "Silent No More" testimonies and saw Br. Pio and Fr. Mark from EWTN. My sister got "interviewed" so we might see her on Life on the Rock next week - not.

Then I got a picture with the great pro-lifer, Mr. Randall Terry. Bad hair day!

We got back to our hotel room around 6 and then went to the "Rose Dinner." Unfortunately none of the pictures I took at the dinner turned out. My pictures of Fr. Pavone are pretty blurry, eh?

We had a great time defending life!
