I was in Corpus Christi last weekend singing in a wedding. I had the opportunity to meet Fr. Farfaglia, and I can tell you that this priest has a zeal for saving souls. He also has a very serious approach to liturgy, marriage preparation, and church doctrine - and he has no fear about “offending” others with the Gospel.

It appears we may have been at the same wedding 😉
 
It’s always inspiring when people speak the truth. There’s something about it that resonates with people: a movement of the grace of God who is the Truth.

In general, I think people try to ignore the truth so as to avoid having to change. It’s absolutely terrible when we let things like the systematic murder or people go unspoken of. We should be traumatized by abortion, but we live in a world where many people do not have to acknowledge it at all.

Kudos to Rev. Farfaglia!
 
All life is definitely sacred. One of my kids in our youth group came to defend the life of chickens who are maltreated in the processing plants. He complained that we should become vegetarians. I asked him, why isn’t he so zealous in the defense of human life by joining our social justice group who were going to pray outside of an abortion clinic. He missed the whole connection.

We should be horrified when all life is taken…particularly by the hands of someone legally.
 
what an uplifting letter by this priest! It’s very encouraging to read articles such as this. And for some people, it makes it easier to stand up against abortion or to speak out for the truth. Some people want to, but lack the actual courage to do so. I know that’s no real excuse, but it’s true. 😦 I speak from experience at my last post because we had a woman that was basically Catholic in name only but LOVED to come to our womens’ group. Every time the topic of abortion, ABC’s, or some other Church teaching/doctrine with which she didn’t agree, she LOVED to try to debate it! Knowing the priest would defend me (and a few others) for speaking up for the Church, we spoke up! And she’d go running to the priest and tell him we attacked her and was spreading falsehoods, etc. But he stood up for us! (and believe me when I say she was no easy person to debate. She even threw back at me a pamphlet from CCLI about “The Truth about the Pill” and said I was wrong about the fact that the pill doesn’t always suppress ovulation and then she declared it was propaganda. She was just one of those people you hated to hate because she was just so…dang…stubbornly…irritatingly…obnoxious with her vocalizing her views!!! She’s basically a Rosie O’Donnell but just not gay.)

So to run across a priest like this is very encouraging.
