You don't suppose they did this on purpose to get money? After all they did get donations. "Stearns said in a statement that he would continue his investigation. He said the donations pouring into Planned Parenthood over the Komen decision show the group does not need Komen funding."

I think Planned Parenthood knows they need every penny they can get. when the Koman foundation announced they would cease donating to PP, the PP spokesperson accused them of bowing to political pressure. But then, lo and behold, three days later, the Komen foundation changed their mind and said they would continue funding PP. Talk about political pressure.

Let's be very honest- the Komen foundation says they give money to PP to help facilitate breast exams, but very few PP clinics offer breast exams and usually have to refer women out of their offices for exams.

But if the Komen foundation really wanted to help women, they wouldn't give money to an organization that promotes hormonal contraception and abortion, both of which have been linked to breast cancer.

Fr. Santan Pinto, SOLT 1948-2011

It is with a heavy and incredulous heart that I post the news that our beloved Father, Fr. Santan Pinto, died suddenly in a car accident after just arriving for a home visit in India. Apparently, Fr. Pinto was the passenger in a car that was struck and he died instantly. A Bishop in India, the Bishop of Belgaum, has contacted our community and confirmed this sorrowful news. Fr. Pinto's funeral will be tomorrow in India. It's interesting, you know, after just posting Father's Christmas message yesterday and then posting the clip by Fr. Barron about the true nature of Advent, we never know when God will take us home. The media and secular society loves to mock celibacy and the priesthood but it's easy to see that Fr. Pinto has more spiritual children than those people ever will. God will not be mocked. Father was a priest who was faithful to the end, who loved God more than anything and made countless sacrifices for his many spiritual children. To say that he will b
