Bishop Warns of Obama’s Promise to Implement Extreme
“Freedom of Choice Act”
By Jonquil Frankham
PATERSON, New Jersey, October 21, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Bishop Arthur Serratelli of Paterson, NJ penned a column for his diocesan website this week, warning his diocese of the possible implementation of the radical Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA), particularly under a possible Obama presidency.
In the article Bishop Serratelli compares Barack Obama to King Herod, the king during the life of Christ who ordered the beheading of John the Baptist in order to keep a promise he had made to Salome. Much like Herod, writes Serratelli, Obama has made a promise - to pass the Freedom of Choice Act. However, should Obama keep this promise, “not only will many of our freedoms as Americans be taken from us, but the innocent and vulnerable will spill their blood.”
The Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) is a bill introduced in the United States Congress in 2004. It would remove all restrictions on abortion in the United States, both on the state and federal level. “FOCA goes far beyond guaranteeing the right to an abortion throughout the nine months of pregnancy. It arrogantly prohibits any law or policy interfering with that right,” says Bishop Serratelli. This is the “dark reality” kept secret by propagandists for ‘choice.’
The bill is strongly supported by presidential candidate Barack Obama, who promised in a speech for Planned Parenthood that “the first thing he would do as President would be to sign the Freedom of Choice Act.”
Among those no longer free to choose under FOCA, says the bishop, would be pro-life doctors and nurses, whose freedom of conscience is currently protected under the law. Religious hospitals and clinics would also be forced to perform abortions up until the birth of the baby.
NARAL America presents the bill as a systematic presentation of Roe vs. Wade, but opponents like Bishop Serratelli note that it would eliminate those restrictions the 1973 court case allowed, such as parental consent, waiting periods, information for mothers regarding emotional and psychological dangers, and restrictions on late-term abortions.
The bishop hails the death of freedom, should FOCA get passed. “Gone the freedom of conscience so essential for a civil society,” the bishop tells his readers. “Gone the freedom of women and young girls to have all the information they need to make their own choices!”
The bill would also “force taxpayers to fund abortions,” thereby nullifying the fundamental American policy of taxation with representation. It would also “redefine a woman’s ‘health’ so as to expressly permit post-viability abortions.” The bishop clarifies, “Thus, a child who survives an abortion can be left to die for the health of the mother … This is infanticide. Gone the freedom of her baby, once born, to live!”
Pro-Abortion advocates’ “zeal for the Freedom of Choice Act,” Bishop Serratelli writes, “sounds the alarm for decent Americans to wake up! The more the right to life is denied, the more we lose our freedoms. The ‘pro-choice’ movement is not pro-choice. It stands against the freedom to choose what is right according to the truth of the human person... At this point, we are still free to choose!”

Our Lady arrives @ the Newman center

I recently read and heard stories regarding Fr. Mike Lightner and his Great love of our Blessed Mother. To my surprise HE BROUGHT OUR LADY WITH HIM! I was just Shocked and overwhelmed to see a Beautiful rendition of Our Lady of Guadalupe. A full size replicate of Our Blessed Mother grazing our campus in Milwaukee. What an inspiration for our college youth to have a Priest that gives reverence to Our Mother. The concrete statue of over 800 pounds was first placed at the Guadalupe Chapel in Oconto, WI.
During the 1900's migrant workers from Mexico built a large Shrine & Chapel to give thanks to Our Lady. Years had pasted as Corliss & Joyce Lighter as trustees and the directors of the Guadalupe Chapel, gave that same statue to their son the Priest with the intent to always keep Her in pubic view. With Fr. Lightner's new assiment @ the Newman Center it's about to change.

The day was filled with laughter and joy as Fr. Mike gave is conversion story to a packed crowd. It was Gospa Florida's 27 annual Medjugorje conference. He was the only featured speaker that Barbara Stephens brought in for the day, and the masses of people just were over whelmed. Fr. Mike started the day long event with a talk to the young adults and a Confession period for the teenagers. Like Saint Padre Pio, he is fast becoming known as the Confession Priest. During his evening talk he captivated the crowd with his humor about his more than 15 trips to Medjugorje. He talked about about his Mother Joyce, who has been to Medjugorje 87 times and his brother James, who led the trip that was involved the bus accident last year in June. Fr. Lightner mentioned his first book will be in circulation in a few months. The title "WARFARE" it will top the best sellers list

Good luck Fr. Mike!!!
