There were some very interesting statements written in this article:

1) On April 23, 2009 the Dominican Republic was urged by its President Leonel Fernandez to consider the matter of ending the death penalty for un-born children in that country. In a remarkable vote the lawmakers put down abortion's blood drain by a whopping 167 to 32.

2) The decision to quit abortion was driven wholly by the efforts of the Catholic Church under the guidance of Santo Domingo's Cardinal Nicolas de Jesus Lopez who went on record for saying that pro abortionists were "butchers and merchants." He emphasized that the interests of the pro-abortionist was largely about profit and had little to do with choices as it is touted in America.

3) Actual abortion videos were shown as well on national TV that the Dominicans found unbelievable and wholly repugnant. There is little doubt that you will not see such videos on national TV in the United States which leads the way in the effort to strangle reality, truth and compassion under the guise of all that is now held as "politically correct."

God will certainly bless this Dominican Republic which was previously called Santa Domingo which represents St. Dominic who is the patron saint of hopeful mothers. Before his birth his mother had a dream that a dog lept from her womb and was carrying a torch and "seemed to set the earth on fire!" How appropriate for this little country to start such a fire. The great Dominican St. Catherine of Siena summed up what the Church in the Dominican Republic was successful at doing with the culture in her prayer ‘God grant that I may always be a lover and proclaimer of truth, and that for the sake of truth I may die’ (Letters, 277)

St. Catherine Pray for Us!

The Catechism teaches us that human beings naturally tend toward the truth; they are morally bound to seek truth, to adhere to the truth once they come to know it, and to direct their whole lives in accordance with what the truth demands (n. 2467).
