“Not all moral issues have the same moral weight as abortion and euthanasia…There may be a legitimate diversity of opinion even among Catholics about waging war and applying the death penalty, but not however with regard to abortion and euthanasia.”

Bishop Celebrates Funeral Mass for Victims of Abortion
On Saturday, November 20, 2010 Bishop Boyea celebrated a funeral Mass at St. Mary Cathedral for 17 victims of abortion - children who had been discovered in a trash dumpster behind an abortion clinic in Lansing. Thanks to the efforts of Citizens for a Pro-Life Society, Right to Life of Michgan and many others, over a thousand people attended the Mass as well as the burial rites at St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery in Lansing.

Bishop Earl Boyea and the Department of Catholic Charities recently hosted the 4th annual Catholic Charities Day at Bethany House in DeWitt. The guest speaker was Msgr. Anthony Figueiredo of the Vatican Dicastery Cor Unum, the dicastery responsible for both the Church's catechesis of charity and its concrete works of charity.
Msgr. Anthony spoke on the often misunderstood relationship between charity and justice in light of Deus Caritas Est and Caritas in Veritate. His talk highlighted the need for those involved in Catholic Charities to have well-formed hearts so they can offer God's love - true charity.
