Catholic World Report
The Beginning of the End of the Abortion Industry?
by Tim Drake
Over the past five years, growing numbers of US abortion workers have left the industry.
For former Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson, the turning point
came when she was asked to assist with an ultrasound-guided abortion.
“Abortions are typically performed blind,” explained Johnson, who
served as health director for Planned Parenthood in College Station,
Texas. “The doctor takes the suction instrument and probes until he
thinks he’s gotten everything.” On this particular day in the fall of
2009, “the visiting physician wanted to use an ultrasound as a teaching
tool to show us what an abortion looked like,” recalled Johnson. “I was
excited about the prospect of learning something new. My job, during the
procedure, was to hold the ultrasound probe on the patient’s abdomen.”
What Johnson saw on-screen would forever change her life.
Homiletic & Pastoral Review
Preaching to the Whole Person: Classical Wisdom for the New Evangelization
by Fr. Michael Dominic O'Connor, OP
St. Augustine has great insights to offer Christian preachers about the art of good preaching.
“Given the importance of the word of God, the quality of homilies needs
to be improved.” Pope Benedict XVI wrote these words in his 2007
Apostolic Exhortation, Sacramentum Caritatis. The Holy Father then repeated this admonition in his 2010 Apostolic Exhortation, Verbum Domini,
adding: “The art of good preaching…is an art that needs to be
cultivated.” This need is all the more pressing as the Church embraces
the call and challenge of the New Evangelization. A renewed effort on
the part of preachers—to improve the quality of homilies, and to
cultivate the art of good preaching—must be central to the work of the
New Evangelization. The question is: How is this to be done? How can
the art of good preaching be learned and cultivated? This is an age-old
question, and there are some age-old answers to this question which, I
believe, can serve preachers very well in meeting the challenges of
evangelization in our day. St. Augustine is the Church’s foremost
teacher in the classical art of Christian preaching, and it is to him
that we will turn in order to learn something of the classical wisdom on
preaching effectively.
