Catholic bishops and clergy have a responsibility to not only make their voices heard, but to teach those of the Catholic faith how to use their own voices. This means that the clergy must instruct and teach regularly about Catholic tenets and doctrine, yet we do not see this. As we see a continuing moral decline in our country, we realize now more than ever that we need to hear a roar rather than a whimper.
Two cases coming before the Supreme Court are a reflection of the morality inherent in our society today. Rampant sexuality and the use of contraceptives seem to be the new norm. And many think their right to contraceptives should be provided by our tax dollars. What example will the court provide?
We all have reason to fear for the future for our families and for children not yet conceived. Insurance is supposed to protect people, to proffer health and well-being. Yet with the installation of Obamacare, the opposite will occur. Countless lives will be lost and destroyed, and we will watch our country sink further into an abyss of immorality.
We seem to be losing the ability to determine what is really best for our minds, bodies, and souls. Instead, we focus on the here and now. We seek pleasure at all cost, and we allow immoral behavior to creep into our lives. If this continues, there will only be one natural consequence.

The latest spate of headlines about Planned Parenthood warms the cockles of my heart.
