Contraception, Abortion, Catholic Church, HHS Mandate!

Contraception, Abortion, Catholic Church, HHS Mandate!

This post is regarding the contraception mandate regarding religious organizations. I am really not going to talk to much about this, but I will give my point of view on it. For those who do not know Obama has organized an attack on religious freedom.


This is called the "HHS mandate" "Catholics across the country are taking a stand against a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services mandate. The Catholic Church says it's a violation of its religious beliefs to offer coverage of contraceptives and other reproductive health services."
 
What does this mandate mean? 

It means that the insurance offered to those employed by the Catholic Churches in the US must cover services that are contrary to Catholic teaching. Things like birth control. and abortion. In my opinion this mandate is an attack on the Church and on life, all Catholics must stand against this mandate. This will also affect Catholic Hospitals and charities!

What does the Church teach about contraception and abortion?  

"Catechism of the Catholic Church: "[E]very action which, whether in anticipation of the conjugal act, or in its accomplishment, or in the development of its natural consequences, proposes, whether as an end or as a means, to render procreation impossible is intrinsically evil" (CCC 2370). "Legitimate intentions on the part of the spouses do not justify recourse to morally unacceptable means . . . for example, direct sterilization or contraception" (CCC 2399)."


 

I am among those who feel that BC is wrong, of course I have learned that the hard way. BC can cause early spontaneous abortions, especially the IUD which the main function is to abort the early child. I feel that BC is anti life because a marriage should be open to life at all times. Also sex itself is for marriage, also something I learned the hard way. I also see how BC has opened the doors to legal abortion and the rise in many other problems that we have. 

Also the Catholic Church is not the only ones who appose or apposed contraception and abortion. Very recently all Christian denominations apposed contraception, please read Christians and Birth Control.

If a someone does not believe in what the Church teaches they probably should not get a job with a Church they do not believe in. Honestly I would not want any Church to employ people who did not belong to that religion. Yet I understand that places like hospitals and Catholic charities do need to employ many people and that is a good thing. Yet we are called to honor God in all that we do, and uphold the truth daily no matter what!

Why should the Church offer insurance that covers procedures and medication that is considered evil by the Church? The Church believes that birth control and abortion is wrong and in fact evil. Faithful Catholics should not want anyone to obtain these things and it is against the Churches good will to offer it to others, or pay for it!

The plan is to take care of people and bring them to Christ, this won't be done very well if the Church pays for people to commit evil acts. 

We are to make disciples of all nations! We do this by always proclaiming the truth in all that we do and to all that we are in contact with.

 Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen

We are in this world together for each other and we should not have one morality for our self and another for others.

The Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy illustrate the ways to show charity toward others.

Christians and Birth Control

I am going to go right to the point here : )

Protestants of all branches of Christianity please read.
Also if you say you are Catholic and use birth control you to must read this.

Until 1930 ALL CHRISTIAN CHURCHES rejected and condemned the use of contraception of all kinds! Prior to this time, to be a good and faithful Christian in marriage was to be open to children and contraception was not to be a part of it.

In fact Protestant reformers held to this anti-contraception teaching that originated in the Catholic Church (also known as the Christian church) Yet this anti-contraception teaching was still very much alive in Christians even after the braking away from the Catholic Church in the 1500's and on. So much a part of Christian life (Christian married life) that it was that way until 1930.

You can look it up it is called the Lambeth council..
Also follow the link below...

The Protestant reformers called contraception "murder"!

Even as recent as 1960, most anti-contraception legislature that was on the books were due to Protestant and Evangelical politicians. So what happened? Sin happened and one by one Christian Churches gave in to Satan and his evil plan to stop Gods children from ever being born!

Today, only the Catholic Church remains faithful and stands firm on the teaching that contraception is evil and must never be a part of a Christan marriage. In fact married couples are unfaithful to God and to the sacrament of marriage when contraception is included.

You have to ask your self. If this was a major teaching of all Christians beginning with authentic Christianity in the first century until 1930, then what has changed?

Has God changed his mind on the use of contraception?
Was God wrong until 1930?
Was Margaret Sanger ( founder of Planned Parenthood and pioneer of the contraception movement) given some divine revelation from God?

The answer to those questions is NO!

God has not changed his mind, contraception is still evil and contrary to faithful Christian marriage. And Margret Sanger was no prophet! It must also be noted that this unfaithfulness has opened the door to even more evil in our country and world!

Today more than 3,000 babies are killed before they are born every day in this country and added to that is the thousands if not millions of babies who never existed at all! Or those who are killed at a very early stage of life due to the abortifacient actions of hormonal birth control!

How many more Christians will be killed or denied life because of the use of birth control and abortion among the so called Christian communities?


My last words:

We shouldn't be surprised that Protestant branches of Christianity decided to be unfaithful on this issue. Protestantism was founded by unfaithful Christians. Catholics that broke away from the Church that Christ himself founded to follow their own notions of what Christianity should be..

Today we are seeing even more evils being accepted by those who call them self Christian. Today many of the same Christian Churches that gave in to contraception in 1930 and abortion in 1973 and on, are now very much accepting of gay marriage and gay clergy.

If you are a follower of Christ and want to be a faithful follower of Christ you should probably learn more about these inconsistencies among so called Christian Churches.

Become a faithful member of the body of Christ, for there is one body, one faith and one baptism!

Remember it is called birth control because it prevents the birth, not the life of children!

God bless!

"Few realize that up until 1930, all Protestant denominations agreed with the Catholic Church’s teaching condemning contraception as sinful. At its 1930 Lambeth Conference, the Anglican church, swayed by growing social pressure, announced that contraception would be allowed in some circumstances. Soon the Anglican church completely caved in, allowing contraception across the board. Since then, all other Protestant denominations have followed suit. Today, the Catholic Church alone proclaims the historic Christian position on contraception."

Pro-life Pro-Choice

  Although we all have a part in the issue of abortion, we are either a part of the problem or solution. But it is women who need to stand up and take charge! Imagine if even a small number of all pro-choice women stood up for life and changed their stance what an impact this would be. The bottom line is this, abortion is a product a service sold to many but it is the woman who must give consent to this. If there is not enough money in it PPH, NAF and others would not sell abortions! If there is no market for it, it just won't happen and it wouldn't be legal so that a small handful of women could obtain them, despite what they would like us to believe.

WOMAN, STAND UP FOR YOUR BODY!

STAND UP FOR YOUR BABIES!

STAND FOR LIFE AND STOP THE KILLING!!

Take a stand for life, join us on Facebook and tell your friends to stand for life to!

Hippocratic Oath

A Look At The Hippocratic Oath!

Would The Father Of Medicine Be Proud Of Medicine Today?

   The Hippocratic Oath is a traditional acknowledgment of the responsibility acquired by those who obtain the title of physician before graduating from medical school and entering the world of medicine on their own. The Hippocratic Oath was first seen in the 5th century BC and is one of the oldest binding documents in history and was once seen as the authority to physicians medical practices.

Websters dictionary explains the Hippocratic Oath as such "an oath embodying a code of medical ethics usually taken by those about to begin medical practice"

Many people believe that the Father of medicine Hippocrates first penned the document but it emerged a century later and may not have been written by Hippocrates himself. Hippocrates was born between 470 and 460 B.C. to a family that claimed descent from Asclepius the Greek god of healing and the son of Apollo.

Hippocrates was part of a long Greek medical tradition. Hippocrates is credited with the earliest extant medical writings. Of these, few are probably genuinely the products of Hippocrates, but some are accepted as such, including the famous "Oath" which in addition to all else shows that 5th century B.C. physicians were already organized, trained and served as disciples.

Hippocrates believed that the physician was to be one who did good, had common sense and nobility. Since the 5th century those who entered into the world as physicians were required to recite the Hippocratic Oath which according to the oath is a legally and morally binding covenant before the gods. Keep in mind that Hippocrates was a fifth century polytheist from the Greek culture in which he lived.

The thing to note here is that the Oath was a covenant which according to tradition is morally binding and superior to any old promise. In the ancient times a Covenant was not only a promise to ones colleagues but an acknowledgment that one will not forsake his family. Hippocrates believed in the family bond of those who were called to the discipleship of medicine to serve their fellow man. A far cry from how medicine actually is practiced today in some form or another. The classic Hippocratic Oath was used until 1964 when a new modern version was penned by Louis Lasagna.

As the centuries raged on and people traveled the world even more new philosophies were created and people continued to rebel from the authorities that they once respected to guide them throughout their lives. Rebellion such as the reformation in the 1600's followed by the escape from British rule in the new world, the American Revolution. I don't feel that people are much different now than they were in Hippocrates' day although much has changed.

Those who came before us have changed this world, these changes have lead to a rebellion on an even larger scale. Many people no longer value authority over their own judgment this has caused the break down of the family which opens the door to further break down in all other areas. Children rebelling against their parents on a larger scale and parents rebelling against their children!

Little is sacred in the modern world that is why over the centuries the Hippocratic Oath has taken the back seat and is no longer taken seriously by many physicians. For the most part the oath has lost it effectiveness and is no longer seen by many as an authority bonded by tradition and a higher moral calling to fellow human beings.

Today few medical schools require students to recite the classical version of the Hippocratic Oath. I feel that the use of abortion in medicine is largely to blame for the reformation of the classic Hippocratic Oath which states,

"I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody who asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art."

Even though abortion was not yet legally recognized during the revisions of the Oath in 1964 it was practiced by many physicians, we did not see the legalization of abortion for personal use until 1973. In fact some form of abortion and infanticide has always been practiced by many throughout history. The new tragedy is the legalization of abortion for personal use like we have seen since 1973.

Today the Oath makes no mention of the gods, abortive agents, or keeping the sick from harm or injustice. Surprisingly, I have to say that I am not entirely disappointed with the new version of the oath, although one verse jumps out at me. I will get to that in a minute. Considering that today Doctors come held to so many different religious and cultural backgrounds. I would say that a reform of the Oath was in order and long over due in many respects.

What bothers me is that many physicians do not take even the modern oath seriously even though it uses phrase's such as "covenant", "avoiding over treatment", and "I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being."
With the rise in malpractice, over treatment of drugs and procedures, and the assembly line practices of doctors, and the experimental and harmful practice of human guinea pigs! How can one say that most doctors even follow the modern version of the Hippocratic Oath?

You can read the modern Oath in a minute. They leave so much room for any doctor to apply his/her own philosophies when treating patients that the new Oath literally left the door wide open for Roe VS Wade, euthanasia, and doctor assisted suicide, which by the way has nothing to do with health care and cures nothing!

The verse that really jumped out at me is this one "Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God."

The modern version of the Oath states that a doctor has the power to take a life and that this power is an awesome responsibility for the humble physician. There is that open door I was talking about and guess what happened? Today doctors take the lives of thousands of innocent human beings everyday and it is justified by the Oath as well as their own philosophies that lead them to believe that they are doing good!

"Above all, I must not play at God." What does this mean anyway? I have heard about not playing God but that wouldn't have worked for the Oath since the previous statement give a physician the right to take a life. I guess they felt that they had to include God somewhere in the oath and in fact this is the only place God is mentioned. Physicians are justified to do abortions at any stage of pregnancy, offer assisted suicide to their patients, prescribe harmful drugs that had little to no clinical testing as well as offer euthanasia to those afflicted with aging family members! As long as they don't play at God lol!

In conclusion, It was interesting learning about the Hippocratic Oath and I hope that you are equally as interested because of this article. My hope is that medical practices improve and physicians can become more like what Hippocrates envisioned, a calling to serve their fellow man. Not just a job but a real calling to do good! To those physicians who do practice medicine in this way, thank you! But we need your voice to make the changes we need!
