Bible Reading for 2012 Chapter Theme – “A Call to Arms”
February 9, 2012 by admin
St. Paul inspired the faithful to be strong in their faith 2000 years ago and still inspires us today. This is the time for Catholics to be strong and active in their faith!
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on
the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of
the devil. For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against
the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this
present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the
heavenly places. Therefore take the whole armor of God, that you may be able to
withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand
therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of
righteousness, and having shod your feet with the equipment of the gospel
of peace; besides all these, taking the shield of faith, with which you
can quench all the flaming darts of the evil one. And take the helmet of
salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”
Ephesians 6:10-17

Washington D.C., Jan 20, 2012 / 06:31 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Numerous religious leaders slammed the Obama administration for violating consciences by refusing to reverse a contraception mandate and instead delay its full implementation by only a year.
“Never before has the federal government forced individuals and organizations to go out into the marketplace and buy a product that violates their conscience,” said Cardinal-designate Timothy M. Dolan, archbishop of New York and president of the U.S. bishops’ conference.
“This shouldn’t happen in a land where free exercise of religion ranks first in the Bill of Rights.” Click to read full text of article: http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/religious-leaders-blast-hhs-over-contraception-mandate#.Txre_Xvlx3U.email

And take a look at this article about how the Army appears to have silenced their Bishop on this mandate. It is astounding that our freedom of speech and religion are being violated in this fashion.
