Please Take Action on AB 154 and AB 980!

Assembly Bill (AB) 154 and AB 980 are two California abortion-expanding bills opposed by Bishop Soto and all of the California Bishops.

AB 154 would allow nurses, physician assistants and midwives (not welltrained physicians) to perform first trimester abortions.

AB 980 would override the California Building Code requirements in favor of abortion facilities.

Please call and ask each of these Senators who represent districts in the Sacramento Diocese to vote No on AB 154 and AB 980:

          • Ted Gaines (El Dorado Hills) (916) 651-4001;
          • Noreen Evans (Vallejo) (916) 651-4002;
          • Lois Wolk (Vacaville) (916) 651-4003;
          • Jim Nielsen (Rocklin) (916) 651-4004;
          • Cathleen Galgiani (Stockton) (916) 651-4005;
          • Darrell Steinberg (Sacramento) (916) 651-4006

Your calls matter!


WORLD YOUTH DAY!!!

 


We have entered into the Year of Faith, initiated by the Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, on the 50th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council. It will end on the feast of Christ the King in 2013. Faith is more than creed. Faith is more than the Scriptures. Faith is more than a moral life. Faith is more than the Catholic Church's rich heritage of sacramental rituals. Faith includes these but is so much more.

The creed, Scripture, our moral tradition and the sacraments all are charged with a living faith that stands with confidence in the wonder of God revealed by our Lord Jesus Christ. Faith trusts in the mystery of divine love revealed by the crucified Lord. Faith is reliance that transcends ourselves and confides completely in the one who says, "Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid." (Mt. 14:27) Faith is where curiosity becomes religious desire to know and love the one in whom all our curiosity will find its true satisfaction and peace

What do they say?

      The Catholic Church and Rights of Conscience

On February 10, the Catholic bishops of the United States called for a renewed effort to change the HHS imposed mandate that violates conscience rights & religious liberty. The Administration's “accommodation” still forces objecting organizations and individuals to pay for “services” that violate their religious convictions.

  • The original unjust rule has not been changed, but rather finalized.
  • HHS has promised some kind of “accommodation,” but only after the election.
  • The promised “accommodation”— even at its best — would still force our institutions to violate their beliefs.
  • There's no exemption for objecting insurers, secular employers, for-profit religious employers, or individuals.

St. Isidore Parish website provides links to resource and background information from the Diocese of Sacramento, the USCCB, homilies, and videos to aid Catholics in fulfilling their responsibilities as Faithful Catholic Citizens as Governments challenge the Church's Rights of Conscience.
