Euthanasia — Pro and Con

Bloc MP Francine Lalonde has introduced her third private member’s bill, C-384, to legalize euthanasia and assisted suicide. This fall, federal deputies will talk about these medical acts to accept or refuse it. It is important for us to know more about Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide.

Feedback on “Catholics Come Home” Website

Here’s an update on that post about that website “Catholics Come Home” , with those stunning videos. As you recall, the two most popular ads were “Epic” and “Movie”, where different people sit alone in a hanger and watch the movie of their lives, seeing all the bad things they did, and the good.

Until I can figure out what is going on, only currently registered users of this site [...]

Here you go, Loretta

Loretta Ng, an Adventus reader, recently posted a request in one of the comments boxes: she wanted to have an easy way to email Adventus articles to others. Ask, and ye shall receive!

Going on retreat

Just to let our faithful readers know, Fr. Thomas Dowd (i.e. I) will be going on retreat starting July 8 until the 18th. I’m looking forward to starting my annual vacation time with the Lord in a more personal way. I’ll keep all of our Adventus readers in my prayers. UPDATE: Well, I’m off. For [...]
