Guest: Fr. Dennis Wilde, Priest Associate with Priests for Life
Featured Saint of the Day: St. Joseph Calasanz
Today Deacon Rick and Jenny spoke with Fr. Dennis Wilde, Priest Associate with Priests for Life about the different facets of the issues connected to the Right to Life. Fr. Wilde emphasized that fighting for life is not simply a Catholic or Christian effort, it is a HUMAN issue. He explained that true medicine does not attempt to destroy what is naturally good in a person. Fr. Wilde said that the two questions the people of today's Culture of Death ask are 1. Is it human? 2. May I kill it? or Do I need to protect it in law? The answer to the first question has been proved scientifically, human life begins at conception, it is a fact. As to the second, there are 50 million unborn babies who have been killed since the passage of Roe v. Wade. The other facet of this question is those who are "Pro-Choice." Fr. Wilde explained to us that the term Pro-Choice is the result of an aborted sentence. "We believe that the woman has the right to choose." To choose what? That's the question. Deacon Rick added, that it's their way of trying to change the choice they have already made, not necessarily make a new choice.
Fr. Dennis is coming to Des Moines the weekend of September 6-7, he will give the homile at all the masses for that weekend at St. Agustine's. He will also be giving a talk on Sunday, August 7th, at 1:30 at St. Agustines.
