Director's Reflection on the Historic Decision to Overturn Roe v. Wade

The Roe v. Wade opinion from 1973 started a cascade of weak and legally convoluted arguments to draw up from whole cloth a fundamental right to end a pregnancy through abortive medical procedures. Follow this link for a short summary of 8 reasons cited by the majority of Justices to overturn Roe v. Wade:

Why was Roe v. Wade overturned? Here’s a look at some of the reasons given – Catholic World Report

Being Rooted in Christ | Homily

Fr. Richard Vigoa speaks to our Miami Chapter about the way we can live fruitful lives that are rooted in Christ. We must be cautious of rotting from within. There will be external factors that can seep into our lives, but we must remain vigilant and stay rooted in our relationship with our Lord.

Most Sacred Heart of Christ & Nativity of St. John the Baptist | Classic ACU

The liturgical calendar offers two Solemnities and one Memorial this week, the Nativity of St. John the Baptist (Thursday), the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus (Friday), and the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary Saturday), respectively. As the Church considers Solemnities, more important that Feasts, which in turn, are considered more important than Memorials, we offer the two Memorials at once. The first from June of 1999, and the second from June of 1997.

We dare to omit a homily on the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary for sake of brevity and because, in any case, Fr. Llorente weaves the Blessed Virgin Mary into the first of the two included homilies.

Corpus Christi | Classic ACU

Anticipating this coming Sunday’s celebration of THE MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST (Corpus Christi), we searched ACU’s historic archives and found this May 1989 Fr. Llorente homily on this Solemnity, touching on faith vs. miracles, Protestant vs. Catholic beliefs, on related experiences in his English seminary, on the value pf the Eucharist to us, on St. Teresa of Avila’s views, and much more. Enjoy!
