churches planning to merge—1/10/12--Come July 1, Holy Rosary, Little Flower and Our Lady
of Guadalupe parishes in Billings [Montana] will cease to exist. [Throughout
the country mergers of this type have increased. In
some cases, statistics may show a new church being built, but do not reduce
the number of churches in that diocese by the number of merged churches that
are being sold. These older more
traditional churches are often traded for much more modern styled buildings
and interiors.kp]

me the most important part of this book is his "Questioning the Validity

idolatry. Everyone can profit from his work, even those of us who have read
it previously. NIKITARONCALLI: Counterlife of a Pope by

Florida amendment would ban ALL abortions—Amendment endorsed by Family Research Council's
Tony Perkins
PORT
SAINT LUCIE,
Florida, Jan. 12, 2012 --Personhood Florida
received a major endorsement this week from Family Research
Council's (FRC) Tony Perkins.
Similar to the Personhood Amendment recently on the ballot in Mississippi,
the Florida Amendment bans all abortion. Personhood FL will use this
endorsement to encourage FRC's extensive network of politically active
pastors to distribute the Florida ProLife Personhood Amendment
Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, January 22, the anniversary of Roe-v-Wade.
In his endorsement, Perkins said, "I applaud the good folks of Florida
for challenging the culture of death and championing life at all stages. The
Florida ProLife Personhood Amendment is a
reflection of a growing pro-life sentiment across the country and points
toward a post-Roe era. I support the petition drive for this amendment and
look forward to the day it can go before the voters in Florida."
Personhood FL Director Pastor Bryan Longworth praised the endorsement,
"For a long time, we have sought the endorsement of Tony Perkins.
Because of their consistent stand for Biblical values, Tony Perkins and the
Family Research Council have developed a large network of pastors and
churches who stand boldly for the sanctity of human
life, traditional marriage, and other key issues. With this endorsement,
Personhood Florida will have credibility when encouraging churches and
pastors to collect signatures for the new Florida ProLife
Personhood Amendment Petition. Thank you Tony Perkins and the Family Research
Council for standing boldly to defend innocent human life."
Personhood FL will utilize Perkins' endorsement to encourage every pastor in Florida to distribute the ProLife
Personhood Amendment in their churches Sanctity of Human Life Sunday,
January 22, 2012. Personhood FL is recruiting volunteers to contact every
pastor, every church in Florida by January 22. "January 22 marks the
39th anniversary of Roe-v-Wade, and we believe that it's time for abortion to
end in America," Longworth remarked.
Tony Perkins and FRC have led the way in defending religious freedom in the
public square, protecting the unborn and their mothers, defending and
strengthening one man/one woman marriage, and promoting pro-family public
policy.
Pastor Bryan Longworth is the number one ranked prolifer
on Twitter @BryanLongworth,
serves as the director of Personhood FL.
Longworth is a Wall Builders Black Robe Regiment Pastor and a Family Research
Council (FRC) Watchmen on the Wall Pastor. Longworth has participated in the
Alliance Defense Fund's (ADF) Pulpit Freedom Sunday since 2010.
Terry for President to Travel to 7 States: Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah,
Minnesota, and Idaho
Not an endorsement, but it is
significant. Randall Terry is the founder of the pro-life organization
Operation Rescue, a convert to the Vatican 2 Church, and running as a
Democrat. Randall Terry received .8% of the primary vote in the New
Hampshire Democrat primary, compared to .7% for Governor Perry in the
Republican primary.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12, 2012 -- Below are the dates and cities where
Mr. Terry and his campaign team will be campaigning.
Mr. Terry states:
"My purpose in running
for President is to be a voice for unborn babies. I am running graphic ads on
TV -- showing aborted babies -- in order to create the political and social
tension required to shock the conscience of the nation, and restore the full
protection of law to unborn children. Our goal is to make it a crime to kill
unborn babies from conception till birth; these ads
are part of this journey.
"My second goal is to cause President Obama's defeat in the general
election of 2012. If I can cause a crisis of conscience in Catholic and
Evangelical voters who voted for Obama in 2008, and
if enough of them refuse to vote for him in 2012 -- for the sake of our
babies -- it could cause his defeat in key swing states, and could deny him
the White House.
"Obama is the paramount child killer of the western hemisphere; it is
our Christian duty to see that he does not win reelection. My campaign is a
vehicle for Catholics and Evangelicals to oppose him -- for voters who feel
betrayed by his record. We will use our votes to protect our babies."
