Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
“Family Love: a vocation and a path to holiness” was the theme of the 10th World Meeting of Families that took place in Rome June 22-26. I would like to reflect on one aspect of this theme: Each family has a vocation but is also the place where its individual members both live out their vocation and discern their vocation for the future.
With the historic Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization on June 25 overturning Roe v. Wade, the landscape of the abortion debate in America has dramatically changed. This decision is undoubtedly a victory for the pro-life cause, for which the Catholic Church has been on the front line for nearly 50 years. But the fight is far from over.
