What will you say to HIM?
When you stand before Our Lord and Savior, and He asks you what you did when His Church was being violently attacked at the Archdiocese of Los Angeles Religious Education Congress, what will you say to Him?
Once again, the speakers list for this Congress is like a who’s who of the dissenter’s roster for the Americas. Among the more notorious of these speakers are:
Scott Appleby, Dr.Tom Beaudoin, Rev. Michael Crosby, Rev. John Cusick, Msgr. Ray East, Rev. Rev. Virgillio Elizondo, Sr. Barbara Fiand, Richard Fragomeni, Edwina Gatley, Greer Gordon, Thomas Groome, Rev. Gwynne Guibord, David Haas, Rev. Marty Haugen, Rev. John Heagle, Rev. Brian Massingale, Dr. Megan McKenna, Fr. Chris Ponnet Rev. Timothy Radcliffe, Rev. Alexia Salvatierra, Fr. Thomas Sweetser, Jim Wallis, Tom Zanzig, and.this is just a partial list of the most notorious speakers!
Once again, the “Concerned Roman Catholics of America” will be conducting a prayerful demonstration, and passing out flyers that attempt to educate those in attendance as to exactly what kind of teachings they are being subjected to.
We need more volunteers to help in this effort!
Come and join us on Saturday, March 1st as we stand up for His Church and its teachings. If you do, you will at least be able to say to Him when the time comes that you tried!
We will be in front of the Congress entrance from 9:00 AM to around 6:00 PM. Come and join us in the “Church Militant”. We firmly desire that all participants have Her Holy Rosary in their hands at all times!
The Congress takes place at the Anaheim Convention Center, 800 West Katella Ave., Anaheim, CA on the south side of Katella between Katella and Euclid.
Please let us know if you are anyone you know are planning to join us because this will help us to determine how many flyers we need to have printed. We very much need a volunteer who speaks fluent Spanish! We will meet outside the main ticket entrance. If we are chased from there, we will be on Katella Blvd. where all passing cars will be able to see us!

Dear Kenneth,
Thanks for writing!
I hope every person who reads this and is in Southern California will make a decision to show up at the REC with you and perform the spiritual work of mercy of warning attendees of the bad speakers.
The Cardinal must approve of these speakers or he would stop having them year after year.
The Cardinal has often stated that all of the speakers are personally reviewed by him and he proclaims them all to be orthodox!
Makes you wonder just what his definition of orthodox is, doesn't it?
God bless, yours in Their Hearts,
Kenneth M. Fisher
