As Cardinal Mercier said : "When prudence is everywhere, courage is nowhere."                                                                                  From Cardinal Sarah : "In order to avoid hearing God's music, we have chosen to use all the devices of this world. But heaven's instruments will not stop playing just because some people are deaf."                                                                                              Saint John-Paul II wrote: "The fact that one can die for the faith shows that other demands of the faith can also be met."                                                 Cardinal Müller says, “For the real danger to today’s humanity is the greenhouse gases of sin and the global warming of unbelief and the decay of morality when no one knows and teaches the difference between good and evil.”                                                  St Catherine of Siena said, “We've had enough exhortations to be silent. Cry out with a thousand tongues - I see the world is rotten because of silence.”                                                  Chesterton said, “The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.”                                                Brethren, Wake up!

MEDICAL ETHICS - A STORY WITH A HAPPY ENDING

The BBC has today published the story of a young man involved in a car-crash, whose family had to resist medical pressure to switch-off life support systems whole he was in a coma. The video demonstrates the dangers of hasty decisions, and of not losing sight both of the power of modern medicine, and of the power of prayer and human courage. All these can act together to bring about what some might justly see as miraculous results. Read the report here. (The viewer below seems not to be working, the video may be watched in the link previously given.)
