We shouldn’t have to choose between which children we try to
save. Why can’t we save all who are in danger of dying?
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of St. John's has raised
more than $135,000 to help people in typhoon-ravaged Philippines.
Archbishop Martin Currie said when Typhoon Haiyan hit the pacific
nation in early November, its effects rippled back to people who live in
Newfoundland and Labrador.
Currie said the effort was driven by the strong ties people here have
with those directly affected by the storm.
The VOCM story notes:
Currie says while a lot of the money was raised through Sunday collections,
a number of special fundraisers were also held. He says in St. Mary's Bay where
there is a Filipino priest, so people went door to door and raised $9,000.
Which only proves that if you have a plan followed by
serious action you can achieve your goal.
So why don’t the Bishops have a plan to save 120,000+ little
children being killed in Canada every year? It seems impossible to uncover the
answer to that question because Bishops just won`t talk about it. We are left
to guess…and protest.
Is it a question of will? or courage? or resources? or leadership? or politics? or geography?
All of these obstacles were overcome for Philippine children and their families, none of whom were threatened by violence. Why not for Canadian children who perished by violent attack?
