4:00 – Who Are the Syrian Rebels?
Big questions loom over the debate on whether the United States should strike Syria. Two big ones are “who are the Syrian rebels? and should the United States and other countries help them?” What should you know about the rebels in Syria? A lot.

Pope Francis Calls for Worldwide Day of
Prayer and Fasting for Syria – Let’s Learn How to Fast Properly
Last week Pope Francis condemned the use
of chemical weapons, but he called for a negotiated settlement of the civil war
in Syria, and announced he would lead a worldwide day of fasting and prayer for
peace there on Sept. 7, saying "My heart is deeply wounded by what is
happening in Syria and anguished by the dramatic developments." He has
spoken about Syria every day since. As we prepare to answer his call, we look
at exactly what a fast is and how to do it properly. Andy LaVallee, founder of Live
the Fast, joins us.
4:40 – Lawsuits Against the HHS Mandate: Where Do We
Stand?
The following statement is posted on the Barron
Industries website: “Barron Industries is a family-run organization with a
strong Catholic Christian foundation. Our Guiding Principle is our faith in
God.” In keeping with this guiding principle, Barron Industries filed a
federal lawsuit challenging the Obama Administration’s HHS Mandate. The
lawsuit was filed by the Thomas More Law Center. Erin Mersino, the TMLC’s lead attorney on several cases the
Law Center has already filed challenging the HHS Mandate, stated: “It’s
irrational for the Government to claim, as it has been doing in these HHS
mandate cases, that a business is just a shell and can have no moral fiber, and
therefore a business owner must be excluded from the protections of the First
Amendment in his business practices.” Erin is here to talk about the myriad of
cases challenging the HHS Mandate and what she sees as the end-game.

encounter the living Jesus Christ and an encouragement to open your hearts to

Ministries is here to talk about evangelization in the New Evangelization.
I never realized how secular I had become as when I was in the non-catholic arena but as a Catholic I now understand how far I and the world has gone. I am thankful that there are these discussions. I try to stand up for the precepts of natural law as well as the Catholic Church. harrischuck333@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteIf you take the time to study the Catholic version of natural law, which is a medieval version, you'll be surprised to learn that it's little more than subjective assertions about nature and the natural whole. It's not natural at all! It's rather a collection of observations only loosely related to brute nature. It's teleological, and that is its weakness. This embarrassment must be continued because the actual structure of the Church governance depends on it.
