Hat-tip to Jackie Parkes of Catholic Mom of 10 Revisited for calling attention to this issue.
It seems that Clare Short will be giving out the awards at the Catholic, St. Paul's Girl's School on Friday 14th November. The problem with that is that Clare Short is a public, political figure with a pro-abortion voting record and is also a public dissenter from Church teaching on contraception. Clearly this will cause scandal and will send out a confused message to the girls at the school.
Jackie Parkes is standing up to be counted and is now taking flack over this issue... Please pray for continued strength for her, for the school visit to be stopped, and for the conversion of Clare Short from this anti-life position.
Â
All too frequently people who make such a courageous stand are left feeling isolated and alone. Please send a helpful comment to Jackie on her blog and please write polite but firm letters to the school calling on them to stop the visit from Clare Short for the reasons stated.
Please send letters to -
Mrs. Angela Whelan (Head teacher)
St. Paul's Girl's School
Vernon Road
Birmingham Â
B16 9SL
Sr. Therese Brown SPÂ (The Chair of the Governors)
St. Paul's Convent
94 Selly Park RoadÂ
Birmingham
B29 7LL
And also to
Archbishop Vincent Nichols
c/o Archbishop's House
8 Shadwell Street
Birmingham
B4 6EY
Perhaps the school in question could invite one of the many orthodox speakers who love Christ and the teachings of His Church in order to encourage the students to grow in the Universal Call to Holiness which is so central to the teachings of the Second Vatican Council.Â
Whilst we're on this topic Hat-Tip to Mrs. Pat MacDonald, a friend of ours from Crosby, for writing to Clare Curtis Thomas MP regarding her being a Catholic, the Chair of the All Party Pro-Life group and yet still voting in favour of the HFE Bill.
