How to talk about Health Care in the Catholic Church
Dec 18th
CatholicVoteAction.org has just released another incredible video highlighting the dangers of the current Health Care Reform bill. This short Catholic grassroots film is perfect to be used in a youth group, young adult meeting, sent in an email to the parish, or written about in the Sunday bulletin.
The latest commercial targets Senator Casey and his promotion using Pennsylvania tax dollars to fund abortion.
On December 15, 2009 the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops realeased a document regarding abortion and health care reform. Below is a small excerpt followed by the entire article.
Don’t permit federal funds for elective abortion coverage for first time in decades
Let legal immigrants access health benefits for which they pay taxes
Three issues for bishops: respect life and conscience; affordability; fair access for immigrants

Take Action
The following link allows one to take action and contact their Senator in opposition to providing funding for abortion in the health care reform. It would be beneficial to include this link in your parish website, bulletin, or school announcements.

Dec 16th
Without a doubt diocese across the country are in search of candidates for the Catholic priesthood. The New York vocations’ office has put together a spectacular trailer to promote vocations.
My suggestion copy their work in your own diocese. Stop reinventing the wheel looking for new ideas. They have already had 44,000 views online since August. There must have been some potential candidates for the priesthood watching.

Dec 16th
CatholicsComeHome.org, run by Tom Peterson, produces fantastic Catholic commercials. I have worked with Tom on projects in the past. He is a practicing Catholic who takes his faith seriously.
If you are interested in bringing more Catholics back to Mass, have seen a rapid decrease in mass participation, or want to engage in an evangelization effort in your area contact Tom.
While I was teaching in a Catholic school I would use these commercials as openers to talks; however, their best use would be across a diocese.
Inspired by the Holy Father’s call to a new evangelization, Catholics Come Home reaches out to inactive Catholics with inspiring TV commercials and an interactive Web site.
“Six months after the CatholicsComeHome.org media campaign ended, a comprehensive analysis was conducted, which revealed the average increase in Mass attendance (returned Catholics, new converts) was 12 percent, even though population growth in the Diocese of Phoenix was flat during that period. This equates to an increase of as many as 92,000 souls who came home!”
Ryan Hanning
Director of Adult Evangelization, Diocese of Phoenix
