Donation Campaign 2009 -- Looking for the 8,400 ...
If we divide our annual fund-raising goal of $420,000 by the 150,000 ZENIT's English-edition private readers, the amount for each one a year is about $2.80 -- about the price of three or four daily newspapers !
We already know that, in fact, it is not possible to receive $2.80 from each of our 150,000 private readers. But perhaps we can receive $50 from 8,400 of you!
Are you among the 8,400 who can send $50? Your generosity will benefit all Zenit readers.
As many readers have already done, could you cover the $50 for three or four or more missionaries?
Please, think about it!

A response to: US Cardinal Backs Pregnant Women Support Act
I thought this was excellent article. The cardinal makes very good points. I would like to see women supported in pregnancy unconditionally, as contraceptive use has actually made the modern population highly critical of women who have more than one or two children. If you have a large family, people often criticize you, don't offer support and judge you saying/thinking that you had contraceptives as an option to keep your reproduction under control. Even people who are seemingly religious turn up their noses on women who opt to not use birth control and welcome new life into their family. This is a horrible mindset and has become most commonplace, I feel, in America.

A response to: More Respect, Not More Condoms
The ABC program in Uganda was responsible for dropping the infection rate for HIV to the lowest level since the reporting of the infections began. The A is for abstinence. People will respond properly if given the correct information. Telling them to use condoms, which it the C above, should only be as a last resort, as they are not effective.

A response to: More Respect, Not More Condoms
Bravo for the archbishop! He has hit the nail on the head, as the Pope and Cardinal Pell have done before him. In such hands the Church in Africa is in good hands. Keep up the good work!

A response to: Vatican Deplores Belgium's Criticism of Pontiff
I am a Kenyan woman, a teacher, wife and mother.
I fully support the Pope's message that condoms are not the solution to HIV/AIDS. With the promotion of condoms in my country, HIV/AIDS has only got worse. Let us listen to Pope Benedict.
I wish I could shout, but I will not; but the truth of the matter is that in my life I have not seen anybody more interested in the welfare of Africa than the Catholic Church.
These other governments and organizations just talk for their own political correctness, hidden agenda and to defend all the myths they hold in their heads about Africa.
Even before Pope Benedict said it, we knew the answer to HIV/AIDS and we agree with him, with clear minds.

A response to: Glendon's Letter to Notre Dame President
Thank you to Mary Ann Glendon for standing firm in true Catholic faith and rejecting this award from Notre Dame.
All Catholic's need to stand up for truth and reject all shows of support to those who believe that abortion and stem-cell research are acceptable. Mary Ann Glendon has done excellent work on many fronts, especially women's issues, and should be given the full support of the Catholic community.

A response to: Mary Ann Glendon Declines Notre Dame Award
I admire Mary Ann Glendon's courageous decline of the Notre Dame Award. She is consistent with what the Catholic faith upholds without compromises. I hope all Catholics are like her even in the way they run Catholic universities, colleges and schools.
