9-16 CC EDITION

 

Dear Carolina Catholic Media Friend,

 

WHAT YOU WILL FIND IN THIS EDITION

This mid-September edition features a timely article on what is our personal responsibility when friends and family question controversial things the pope may say in his daily talks.

 

We take a closer look at the 7 Sorrows of Mary who we remember in this month of September.

 

We also specify which US States allow Late Term Abortions and why.

 

Locally, we check in on Bishop Martin’s trip to Rome for the New Bishop’s Conference. We encourage you to check out the growing Calendar of Fall Events highlighted by the upcoming appearance of Scott Hahn and John Bergsma from the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology being held at St Thomas Aquinas on Saturday 9/21 between 8a-4pm.

 

On the Carolina Catholic Media “Moving Forward” campaign, we have teamed up with a local business owner who will help us return AM1270 Catholic Radio Charlotte to the airwaves in time for Advent. This individual has committed to match every dollar we raise beginning today.  Our financial goal is $15,000 to put WCGC-AM back on the airwaves by December 1.

 

In addition to bringing Local Catholic Radio back for Advent, we will continue focusing our remaining resources on the 6 local digital platforms of Carolina Catholic Media… mobile app, internet stream, website, YouTube/Podcasts, Social Media and this newsletter.

 

Since our inception in 2017, everything we do is designed with local Carolina Catholics in mind.  We love to showcase all the amazing stories and the people that make them possible across the Carolinas.  But it takes local funding to create and keep great local programming.  That’s what differentiates us from the networks.

 

Please join us by making a tax-deductible, one time donation or monthly pledge to Carolina Catholic Media.   We remain committed to educate, inform and inspire souls of every age. Remember, Underwriting and appropriate public credits are always available. May God Bless you abundantly!

 

In the peace of Christ,

 

David M. Papandrea, OFS

Pope captures hard truth: American Catholics destined to be ‘politically homeless’

States Where On-Demand Late-Term Abortion Are Legal

The most permissive abortion laws are in Alaska, Colorado, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, New Jersey, Oregon, Vermont, and the District of Columbia. A woman can procure a legal abortion through the ninth month of pregnancy, until the moment of birth, for any reason. 

 

Minnesota, the home state of Harris’ running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, has some of the most permissive pro-abortion laws in the country. Walz signed legislation in January 2023 that declared abortion “a fundamental right” and prohibited local governments from taking any action that interferes with that legal right. This provided even stronger protections for Minnesota’s laws on abortion, which permit the procedure until the moment of birth.

 

Virginia allows elective abortion through the second trimester of pregnancy, which ends in the 27th week. This is three or four weeks after the unborn child could survive outside the womb.

 

In four other states — Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and New Hampshire — abortion is legal in the 24th week of pregnancy, regardless of whether the unborn child is viable. About a dozen states allow abortion up until the point of viability, which is often determined by the physician, who may be an abortionist. More than 20 states restrict abortion earlier than viability.
