"As we prepare to enter a new era in politics and perhaps society in general, keep something in mind: WE WIN! No matter what political party is in power at a given point in time, in the end those that remain faithful to Jesus Christ win the war. We may have to fight many battles outnumbered and even despised and looked upon as criminals and outcasts by a society that is unraveling and degenerating into something no one could have imagined.
What matters is that we run the race to the finish line and fight the good fight. Don’t “go with the flow,” for as the great Archbishop Fulton Sheen reminds us, “Dead bodies float downstream.” More than ever we shall have to be strong in the faith. Regular and worthy reception of the sacraments, constant prayer, and rigorous study of the faith is now essential, not merely a luxury.
The front line and primary battle is going to be the fight for life: the dignity of every human life from the moment of conception to the last moment of natural life. If we lose that one, every other battle space will be compromised. If the government succeeds in establishing abortion as an inalienable “right”, then the elderly and sick will be next. It will then be a short and slippery step to the government deciding who lives and dies regardless of their inherent human dignity.
If you don’t already pray the Rosary every day, please start at once. The prayer of the holy Rosary is the prayer of the holy Gospel, and that means it is the prayer of the Good News Who is Jesus Christ, the LIFE of the world. Many saints will be forged in the crucible of the coming years. Make sure you are among them.
God bless you,
Fr. John Corapi"
The Vatican, produced by Sony Pictures TV in association with Showtime and Scott Free, has been a passion project for House
executive producer Attanasio, who has been working on it for a couple
of years. His script started heating up at Showtime a few weeks ago,
forcing Attanasio to pull out of the Rake
series adaptation starring Greg Kinnear, which Sony TV was shopping.
The pay cable network then proceeded with attaching an A-list director
before giving the project a green light. I hear a quartet of top feature
directors circled the drama, with Ridley Scott ultimately signing on
for what will be his pilot directing debut. CAA-repped Attanasio and
WME-repped Scott executive produce with Scott Free’s David Zucker (The Good Wife).
