I am happy to visit anyone at home who would like a sacramental visit. Call the recto-ry. Please send back the information on your emails and cell phones. It is the best way and sometimes the only way we can communicate with you quickly. Please return the form in the self-addressed enve-lope asap. Take your missalette home each week and bring it back to sing! If you want one for next year let me know. Correction: Cost will be $10. I ordered 60. Church life is gradually improving! We are still at 84 spaces. We are exceeding this capacity at the 12 noon Spanish Mass. If you come after the church is filled, you will not be admitted. Please attend one of the other masses or watch our livestream @presentationdenver.org. Public masses are at 8 a.m. M – F. Please support the ACA Campaign. Archbishop gave Presentation $13,500 from the campaign and the assistance of Catholic Communi-ty Services to help us raise our offertory to pre-Covid levels. We are still up to only $2,575 last week. Please send your contributions by mail to 665 Irving, Denver, CO 80204 or make them online at the parish website. You can bring them by the rectory and put them in the special box on the door.

Infanticide Logically Follows Abortion in our Culture of Death In the February 2012 issue of the Journal of Medical Ethics an article flatly ar-gues in favor of infanticide. In case you doubt that anyone would openly espouse the killing of babies after birth, let us quote from the article itself. “Merely being human is a reason for not in itself ascribing someone a right to life,” the authors assert. Killing a newborn “should be permissible in all the cases where abortion is, including cases where the newborn is not disabled.” The authors argue that newborns lack the “level of mental development” neces-sary to be considered human. In other words, say the authors, what a baby doesn't know — its impending death, in this case — can't hurt it. A few short years ago no medical journal would have accepted an article purport-ing to justify infanticide. Now, after human life has been devalued by over 46 years of legalized abortion, such a proposition creates barely a stir. The Catholic Church has been continuously warning us for years about the ramifications of the culture of death. We must get involved in making a stand for innocent human life, otherwise our culture will only get worse! Pro-Life Articles

El Infanticidio sigue Lógicamente al Aborto en nuestra Cultura de Muerte En febrero del 2012 un artículo de la revista Journal of Medical Ethics (Revista de Éticas Medicas) llanamente argumenta a favor del infanticidio. En caso de que usted dude que alguien pudiera abiertamente proponer el ase-sinato de niños después de su nacimiento, permítanos citar el mismo artículo. “El ser simplemente humano no es en sí una razón para no permitir a alguien el derecho a la vida,” dice el autor. Matar a un niño recién nacido “debe ser permi-sible en todos los casos donde haya un aborto, incluyendo casos donde el re-cién nacido no es incapacitado. Los autores argumentan que los recién nacidos no tienen el “nivel mental de desarrollo” necesario para ser considerados humanos. En otras palabras, dicen los autores, lo que el bebe no sabe – su muerte inmediata, en este caso – no puede dolerle. Hace pocos años ninguna revista médica habría aceptado un artículo proponien-do justificar el infanticidio. Ahora, después de que la vida humana por más de 46 años ha sido desvalorizada por los abortos legalizados, estas proposiciones casi no crean ninguna conmoción. Todos tenemos que involucrarnos para salir en defensa de una inocente vida humana, de lo contrario, nuestra cultura se volverá aún peor. Pro-Life Articles
