Crystal Clear and Dark Glass
Hello:
Today I would like to introduce a new BLOGExplosion Billboard tenant that I hope will generate some discussion on both of our sites. Please welcome Crystal Clear. When Crystal bid on my BLOG, I accepted her application without waiting for any additional offers. Crystal writes about strong positions on topics such as right to life (ex. Terri Schiavo) and illegal immigration. Liguori Publications has some titles out on both topics that I can draw on to present the official Catholic stance. For variety we may even touch on some of my personal viewpoints which (*gasp*) don't agree with
Cyrstal OR Liguori on all counts. So PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LEAVE COMMENTS, all that I ask is that you keep your remarks civil.
Liguori just released a new Catholic Health Care Ethics Series which was developed in conjunction with DIALearning and faculty at the St. Louis University's Center for Health Care Ethics. There are five programs currently available. Each one is made up of several CD's and DVD's with facilitation guides available for download from the web. At $149.95 per program, they are outside the means of the typical individual but make a great resource for schools, parishes or other groups that are concerned about these issues. The series is currently made up of: Program 1 Persistent Vegetative State To Live…or Let Die , which specifically examines the Terri Schiavo case; Program 2 A National Emergency Patient Safety; Program 3 Dying Well Assisted Suicide & End-of-Life Care?; Program 4 Stem Cell Research Frontier of Hope & Concern and Program 5 Born Too Soon Neonatal Care in the 21st Century.
In regard to the immigration issues, Liguori publishes Catholic Tradition and Immigration: Toward a Communion of Cultures and Peoples which is also available in Spanish under our Libros Liguori imprint as La Tradición Católica e Inmigración Hacia la comunión entre culturas y
pueblas. Especially relevent this Lent and Easter season is the bilingual The Way of the Cross of the Migrant Jesus: El Vía Crucis de Jesús Migrante by Gioacchino Campese, CS. 
Gesh - I'm 4 paragraphs and 5 images into this post and I'm not anywhere near a point. To restate and then wrap up, here's what we have.
1. Welcome my tenant Crystal Clear.
2. She writes about some controversial topics that I think can spur some interesting interaction on both our sites.
3. Liguori Publications produces material on at least two of the topics Crystal covers.
4. PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS, both here and at Crystal Clear. We'd love to hear your thoughts.
5. I will try to follow this post with some that are more concise.
Peace,
P. Del Ricci - Dark Glass

I would like to weigh in on the immigrant issue. Many people (like Crystal Clear and some of the others who left comments on her BLOG) seem to take a position based on legal standings alone. Yet in the end, God is not going to ask us if we obeyed every law that was ever passed by every country. Rather, he is going to ask if we fed the hungry; if we cared for the sick and lonely; if we welcomed the stranger. He will ask if we loved our neighbor as our self even if those neighbors came from "south of the border" because he told us that whenever we do that for one of his least ones, we do it for him.
