Cardinal Alfonso Lopez T. in The Tidings
The March 24 issue of The Tidings (click on this post's title) carries a long Catholic News Service article on the pro-life, pro-family apostolate of Cardinal Alfonso Lopez Trujillo, 70, head of the Pontifical Council for the Family.
Cardinal Lopez T. says the Council "was born with a baptism of blood." He explains that Pope John Paul II established the Council on May 13, 1981, the day he was shot. (And did you read recently that the wounding of the Pope resulted in cancellation of a big pro-abortion rally set for that evening in Rome?)
Anyway, among its other activities, the Pontifical Council for the Family is organizing the Fifth World Meeting of Families, which will take place in Valencia, Spain, this July. The Holy Father "is expected to attend."
The article has good pro-life quotes, history and news. One of the quotes from the Cardinal: "Will the future have a human heart, or will it be dehumanized? And will the family be destroyed in some countries by unjust laws...?"
What with so many abortion mills killing so many babies every day in this Archdiocese, every issue of The Tidings ought to have major pro-life articles such as this one. It is the least they could do.

Happy Feast of the Annunciation! Our Lady, Help of Christians, pray for us sinners who have recourse to Thee!

Besides weekly prolife articles in the Tidings- it would help if on the parish level, every week, the church bulletin would have a hotline number for crisis pregnancies on the front page and a prolife quote upon the inner pages. I have written a letter requesting the first to my parish.
Dear Alice,
You make excellent suggestions that every Catholic parish, school, hospital and other institution should follow, as well as every Catholic publication including The Tidings.
