Women protest anti-abortion protestors: A response | A Long Way from Home

A Long Way from Home. Women protest anti-abortion protestors: A response. March 25, 2015. Middot; by Bryan Metcalf. Middot; in Uncategorized. Middot; Leave a comment. Today a friend of mine posted this link. To a story in our local paper about a group of protestors who chose to present the pro-choice side of the debate outside Napa’s Planned Parenthood. They have many great videos, Q&A’s, research articles and blog posts about Church teaching on human sexuality (some of which I will reference later).

This post is part of my commitment to #9daysforlife. To learn more, or to join the prayer movement, visit usccb.org. I still remember the moment I became absolutely, unequivocally, ardently pro-life. Then, about 14 years ago, something incredible happened. My sister was pregnant. Watching him take 10 minutes to learn about his un-born daugh...

A Long Way from Home. What I’m thankful for. November 27, 2014. Middot; by Bryan Metcalf. Middot; in Uncategorized. Middot; Leave a comment. It’s that time of year. Time to fill ourselves with turkey and stuffing, pass out watching the football game and wake up in time to run someone over with our shopping carts on our way to the hottest you of the year on Black Friday. It’s also a time where we pause to give thanks for the many blessings in our lives. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you recognize your sins.

The importance of the Eucharist | A Long Way from Home
https://bryanmetcalffocus.wordpress.com/2015/02/23/the-importance-of-the-eucharist
A Long Way from Home. The importance of the Eucharist. February 23, 2015. Middot; by Bryan Metcalf. Middot; in Uncategorized. Middot; Leave a comment. The availability of Mass and the Eucharist is something we often take for granted here in the United States. In my hometown of Napa, Calif., there are several different parishes with multiple times for me to attend mass on any given day. My home parish alone has six Masses on the weekends that fulfill the Sunday obligation for Catholics. Fr Mike is the pas...

A Long Way from Home. How will you answer? January 26, 2015. Middot; by Bryan Metcalf. Middot; in Uncategorized. Middot; Leave a comment. Highlight something important: God is calling each of us to do things we don’t understand, and probably don’t want. The question is, how will you answer? Will you respond like the prophet Jonah? Instead, Jonah tries to run from God (Jon 1:3). God sends a storm after him (1:4), and then a large fish after the crew of his ship throw him overboard (1:15-17). Compare that ...

A Long Way from Home. The problems with the Planned Parenthood debate. July 28, 2015. Middot; by Bryan Metcalf. Middot; in Uncategorized. Middot; Leave a comment. A lot of news coverage the past week has been about the pro-life group Center for Medical Progress and the three videos they released featuring to high-level Planned Parenthood officials discussing compensation for fetal tissue donated by abortion patients. One side of the debate is going after Planned Parenthood. I took a course on Media Law i...

Her twin sister died shortly after their birth. She refused her parents’ wish to marry her older sister’s widower, and disappointed her mother by cutting off her hair in protest over being encouraged to improve her appearance and attract a husband. She continued to resist the expectation to marry, and eventually her parents relented. She died April ...
