The Truth About ContraceptionDr. Kathleen Ravielle, Fr. Daniel McCaffrey, Dr. Martha Garza, Dr. Janet Smith, and Mercedes WilsonThe True Choice: Openness to Life This program looks at three people: a successful doctor, Dr. Martha Garza OB/GYN, who learned that the majority of her practice was not in God’s will regarding contraception; a priest, Fr. Daniel McCaffrey, who finds most parish doors are closed to him because of his message on Natural Family Planning; and a delegate to three United Nations Conferences, Mercedes Wilson, whose Natural Family Planning programs have been met with hostility by national and international agencies. Saying "NO" to Life: Women and the Culture of Death Contraception is part of the American consciousness. However, few really know the way in which contraceptives function - especially the birth control pill. In this program, Johnnette is joined by Dr. Paul Hayes and Dr. Kathleen Raviele, both OB/GYN’s, who tell the whole truth about the contraceptive mentality. Father Daniel McCaffrey provides a plan to help educate parishioners across the country about Natural Family Planning. Bishop Robert Carlson, Diocese of Sioux Falls, explains Church teaching on this vitally important issue. Natural Family Planning as Woman’s Friend This talk, by Janet Smith, was given at the Third Annual Canticle Conference for which six internationally recognized women came together to present a fantastic series of presentations addressing the issue of “Holiness.” Mystery of Woman Perhaps the greatest gift God gives to woman is the special and unique way she participates in His most sovereign act-the creation of new life. Dr. Kathleen Raviele joins Johnnette Benkovic on Women of Grace™ Moments of Truth Live to discuss the mystery of woman. Read More …
