NEW 2009 PROGRAMS:
Myths Regarding Reproductive
Technologies
Dr. Mary Davenport, President-Elect of the American Association
of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, reveals the myths
of contemporary culture regarding reproductive technology,
promoting the Culture of Life according to moral norms of the
Catholic Church.
Contraception and Abortion
Dr. Janet Smith, Chair of Life Ethics at Sacred Heart Major
Seminary in Detroit, Michigan, shares why the use of
contraception produces a pervasive, unhealthy mentality which
leads inevitably to abortion, in contrast to the exercise of the
virtue of chastity through abstinence, leading toward an
interesting, joyful life through child rearing.
From Contraception and Abortion to the Death of Democracy,
Part One
Dr. Richard Dennehey, Professor of Philosophy at the University
of San Francisco, discusses the philosophy of the modern Culture
of Death, which seeks to de-sanctify human life, lowering it to
the level of animals, justifying infanticide and many other
crimes against humanity.
From Contraception and Abortion to the Death of Democracy,
Part Two
Dr. Richard Dennehey, Professor of Philosophy at the University
of San Francisco, discusses the philosophy of the modern Culture
of Death, citing the prevalent perverse freedom of the strong
against the weak, those who have no choice and must submit. The
death of democracy occurs when not only tyrants but popular
consensus promotes death wholesale, ending the wondrous
possibilities of life.
Dissent from Humanae Vitae
Dr. Ralph McInerny, Professor of Philosophy at the University of
Notre Dame discusses the crisis of authority that has led to
dissent by clergy and laity alike regarding sexuality, theology,
and so on. The removal of restriction as oppression has led to
moral relativism.
