Can you imagine!

Can you imagine going to a church and hearing the following.  This is at the intercession of the Mass.   We pray for  "Our President and some Congress men and women are trying to make Catholics and other Christians participate in abortion, contraception, and euthanasia through paying into mandatory insurance plans.  Many did not know that voting for these candidates would bring about this terror and killing of the innocent.  We do not want to be forced to participate in this killing through our tax dollars.  We pray for a change of heart of these politicians!  For this... We pray to the Lord."  It seems so many priests have abandoned the words that should be said feeling that filling the pews by avoiding these issues is more important than saying what has to be said in these days of political correctness.

This was heard from the pulpit of St. Ann's Catholic Church in Needles California.  California!  Can this be possible in one of the most liberal States in the union?

St. Ann's Catholic Church is worth changing your travel plans for. We have the great luxury of going to many churches and participating in many masses as we travel.  Some of the churches are beautiful old structures, some have fantastic choirs, but some have awesome priests.  Needles has a great luxury.  They have a small very friendly congregation, a nice building, but they have Father Amaro Saumell.  This is how the mass should be said.  If you are Catholic, you will feel more Catholic.  If you aren't Catholic, you will feel you have had a great Christian experience.  -- George Mayleben
