This is the final transcript # 12 of a talk from a tape by Fr. Gregory Staab, O.M.V. given at St. Peter Chanel Catholic Church in Hawaiian Gardens, Ca. on Oct. 12th, 2002, with the Immaculate Heart of Mary Spiritual Retreat, My Love Will Triumph, Tape M 1273, What Happened at Fatima, available at St. Joseph Radio, in the City of Orange. (714) 744-0336, 800-500-4556.
“We have the duty to respect the right to life and rights of every human being from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death. And this is an important issue for God when we vote. God is there in the voting booth and that’s the moral action when you go into the reality of the voting booth. Are we an only issue people? Do we have just one issue? Is this the only issue we have? No, but this is a disqualifying issue! If somebody says that it should be legal to kill a human being, that person is automatically disqualified! He does not even exist for us on the ballot. That’s not the only issue.
“We have many other issues that we look at in the reality of when it comes to an election. But that is a disqualifying issue. Do I hear an Amen! Disqualifying Issue! The American Bishops speak of this whole reality like a house. There are many aspects to the house. You have the walls and you got the ceilings and you’ve got furniture inside. Then you have the foundation for the house. The very foundation of the things we should be looking for is the right to life itself! Everything else deals with quality of human life, education, employment and health care. These deal with quality of human life. This is the right to life itself. That’s the foundation upon which everything else is built. And if the foundation isn’t there, everything collapses and everything falls apart.
“What would happen if everybody would vote for people who are pro-life? The laws would eventually change in our country. And with that, our eyes would be opened in many other ways in helping other people. We’d see how we could help other people in many, many other ways and we’d have the genius, and we would have the help of all kinds of human beings. {Those) as well who are being snuffed out to give us that light and that wisdom that we need from God to be able to help the problems of our society.
“Any right to kill the innocent undermines every other right of the human person. Ultimately, what we are involved with is a spiritual battle. If murder is present we know it well, that the Devil who is called a murderer from the beginning is involved. And so the very heart and the very soul of the pro-life movement is the reality of prayer and fasting.
“And that is the message of Our Lady of Fatima. The Angel of Fatima told the children to be making many little sacrifices, sacrifice themselves in any way that they could for the conversion of sinners and in reparation for the sins by which God himself is offended. And she said in this way, you will bring peace to your country. The Angel of Fatima said that. Our Lady of Fatima said pray the Rosary every day for peace in the world, and as long as abortion exists we know that there is not peace in the world. So a very important part of our intention when you pray the Rosary is for an end to abortion, is for a change in mentality in our country so people can come to see more clearly what is really taking place.
“Something that has just begun in our parish here is we have a Holy Hour every week just for that intention. It’s every Wednesday night from 8:15 to 9:15 P.M. here before the Blessed Sacrament. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament with the Rosary and other prayers begging Our Lord to remove the scales from people’s eyes so that we see more clearly the value of human life and that life be respected from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death. Let’s say a final Hail Mary asking Our Lady to touch our hearts.
“Something, too that we want to pray for, we want to pray not only for an end to abortion, but it is very important as well that we pray for all the people who have had abortions. So that they can recognize that they can be forgiven. They can receive the mercy of God. They can be healed. Hail Mary {is prayed}. Blessed Gianna Beretta Molla! Pray for Us.”

The Unborn, Abortion, Voting, Fatima # 11 of 12
Let us celebrate the 125th Knights of Columbus Convention in Nashville, Tennessee on August 7-9th, 2007. Pray that wise decisions will be made and the truth proclaimed. The attached classic talk # 11 of 12 is to commemorate this gathering.
The Unborn, Abortion, Voting, Fatima # 11 of 12
Monday, Aug. 6, 2007
This is transcript # 11 of 12 of Fr. Greg Staab O.M.V. tape, What Happened at Fatima ?.
“If all such victims (of rape) were given generous love and support many more than at the present would carry their babies to term. Women who have been raped and abort their children also experience Post Abortion Syndrome. (PAS) Rape was done to her. She was not responsible for that, but by contrast the abortion would be done by her and she will feel guilty about that.
“It is also her baby and it’s a distinct innocent human life. No exception to the law should be made for incest. Incest has not been studied very much. But should an innocent child be put to death because of her father? No! Wisdom however, clearly dictates that the child should be put up for adoption.
“Often the abuser is the one who demands that there be an abortion. The one who is abusing the young girl wants the abortion and why does he want it? In this way he can hide his abuse and continue to abuse her. The young girl becomes thus a victim of not only sexual abuse but also the abortion. Just like rape, pregnancy is very rare in cases of incense.
“What is really going to help the woman, obviously not aborting the child. It’s the gift of self to love one another. That’s what produces happiness. When we sacrifice ourselves to serve another human being, that’s what is going to produce real happiness within an individual’s life.
“This is a story that comes from a Catechism. This 7 year old girl and she was asked to give blood to her brother for a blood transfusion. And the girl said she’ll do it. Then nurse came to take the blood and the girl began to cry and the nurse said are you sure you want me to take your blood for your brother? And she said yes do so. And the blood transfusion went fine. And afterwards, the nurse came back and said, why, why did you cry? She said that I thought that giving my blood would mean that I was going to die.
“This little girl was only 7 years old. And she already understood the meaning of human existence which is to give our lives for others. And that is what produces happiness.
“We all probably know the story of Gianna Beretta Molla. She died at age of 40 in 1962. And she died in order to give her life for her child so that her child would be born. She died about a week after the child was born. And she died with this tremendous fervor filled with love. And she has a happiness now, that we can’t even imagine. – Eye has not seen or ear heard, nor has it entered into the hearts of men what God has prepared for those who love him and who love others. - Who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of others.
“What can we do about the situation that we find ourselves in? That it is the greatest evil that has ever existed in the history of our country, and we should be clearly aware of that. It is murder. For many more people are murdered just even in one year you have in all of the wars put together in the whole history of our country. We can’t even comprehend what it means, 40 million people that is just surgical abortions and doesn’t count the chemical abortions which are about another 14 million every year.
“The first and most obvious area is the reality of voting, voting. – First of all, should we even be voting for this issue! Absolutely not! It is absurd that we are voting for this. It doesn’t matter what the majority of the people think? Doesn’t make any difference? We have to respect every human being from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death….
“It is very interesting to relate this with the Supreme Court Decision of 1973 (Roe vs. Wade) to the Dred Scott Decision of 1857. In both cases, it was 7 Supreme Court Justices against 2. And before in the case of 1857, they ruled that a human being can be a piece of property. You can buy a piece of property; you can sell a piece of property. And they could even kill the piece of property if they felt it was useless in some way to them. Great evil permitted by the Supreme Court! Incredible! Incredible! It shows again the blindness, the blindness that existed and the same blindness exists in our country, innocent human beings who do not have the rights of personhood. They can be killed within the womb. We shouldn’t be voting for it. Let’s say there was a group of people who wanted to vote. Let’s vote on whether slavery should be permitted again. Absolutely absurd! And yet if the majority of the people in the country began to think that if slavery was OK, we would vote for it. That’s the mentality of our country….”

The Unborn, Abortion, Voting, Fatima # 10 of 12
Sunday, Aug. 5, 2007
All of the following paragraphs are transcribed from a tape, (M 1273) What Happened At Fatima? by Fr. Gregory Staab, O.M.V. Oct. 12th, 2002, by St. Joseph Radio. 800-500-4556, 714-744-0336.
“The ones given up to these healthy families (via adoption) do better than the children that are raised by their biological mother. It’s also better for the single young mother. Teenage mothers who choose adoption do better than mothers who choose to be single parents. They have higher education aspiration and more likely to finish school and less likely to live in poverty and receive public assistance than mothers who keep their children.
“They delay marriage longer and more likely to marry eventually. They are more likely to be employed 12 months after the birth of a child and less likely to repeat out of wed-lock pregnancy. So it is better for the single mother, better also for the child that they be given up for adoption.
“When there is an abortion, it also has a negative effect on the children that remain in society. The children that remain in society are actually treated more poorly. Child Abuse has increased and these statistics are incredible. In 1973 when abortion became legal in the United States, there were 167,000 cases of child abuse and neglect. Seven years later in 1980, there 785,000 cases, an increase of 370%. In 1987, there were 2,025,200 cases reported, that is an increase of 1,112 % in terms of the increase in child abuse after abortion has been legalized. Dr. Philip Ney did a study of why this would be the case? His research clearly pointed to the fact that abortion lowered a parent’s psychic resistance to violence and abuse of their surviving children.
“It also distorted people’s conscience and mentality this law. People’s consciences are formed by laws. Cardinal O’Connor spoke about this in a very interesting way. He noted that in the South when laws discriminated against Blacks, for instance, they could not use certain restaurants, or drink from certain water fountains and so forth. Most Southerners thought that these laws were just because the law forms our mentality and it forms our conscience. After these laws were changed in the South, most young people and middle-aged people in the South now admit that discrimination was wrong. And it is wrong. The same distortion of consciences has happened with laws that permit the killing of unborn children. John Paul II made the statement that these laws kill not only children; they kill consciences. And so it is very important that we seek to have laws that are conformed to the natural law.
“What about the exceptions of rape and incense? An innocent unborn baby should not be killed for the crime of his father. Do we punish other criminals by killing their children? No! This is really very well exemplified by a speaker, a pro-life speaker. And he was speaking to a group of 13 year olds, and about the pro-life issue. There was a 13 year old girl who raised her hand and said, ‘I am against abortion but I think it should be allowed in cases of rape’. And the guy asked her, ‘how old are you?’ She said, ‘I’m 13’. And he said [this is just a hypothetical], ‘God forbid this would even happen. Let’s imagine that your father committed rape. Should you, you are 13 years old be put to death for the crime of your father?’ And the girl said No! ‘Now imagine that you are 5 years old and your father committed rape. Should you be put to death for the crime of your father?’ No, she said. ‘Now imagine that you are 3 months old in you mother’s womb. Your father had committed that rape. Should you be put to death for the crime of your father?’ And the girl said No!
“One of the things, too that we know about rape is that there are only 1 or 2 pregnancies that occur for every 1000 rapes, 1 or 2 pregnancies. This means that about 170 to 340 pregnancies due to rape occur every year in the U.S.A. So it’s very, very, very rare.
“… also, the chief complaint about women who have been raped is not they are pregnant. The chief complaint is how they are treated. If all such victims were given genuine love and support, many more than at the present would carry their babies to term…

What does all of the above mean to Catholics and other Christians? It means that Father Gregory Staab has something to say and not say something. It means that pro-choice has no leg to stand on. It means that all of us have a reasonable and common sense message for teaching, for conversion, and for evangelizing. The following paragraphs are direct quotes from Father Staab’s one hour tape, What Happened at Fatima # 9.
"One of the things too, that propped up in the Church in the last years is the reality of what is called Project Rachel which is to help women who have had abortions and help them go through a healing process. One of things too why did women have an abortion because they were despairing. They felt that there was no hope. What happened after they had the abortion? The depression became even deeper. Many of these women feel that this was the first really big sin that they have ever committed in their life. And some of them have the idea that it is an unforgivable sin.
"It’s amazing too you know, every year I ask my Confirmation Class kids. How many think that abortion can be forgiven? And every year I always find these kids who believe that abortion cannot be forgiven. Believe that it’s just an incredible sin. Now, if they believe that intellectually, how much more do women feel that in their hearts who actually done it. Even though, that they may know intellectually in some way that they could be forgiven they don’t feel it. They don’t experience it.
"Many of them feel that if they go into a Catholic Church, walk into the Church, the whole building would collapse in on top of them. And so they stay as far away as possible. They don’t even want to think about God. They don’t want to pray. They don’t want to deal with the whole reality of the issue….
"The Church gives the message of hope. There is hope. There is hope before the abortion. There is {are} always alternatives. There is something God wants. There is a mission for that child. There is a mission for the parents and after the abortion as well there is hope. The woman can be forgiven. John Paul II tells women who have had abortions: Nothing is definitively lost, nothing is definitively lost. Your child is living with the Lord. You can be reconciled with your child. People can be forgiven. They can be healed and they can become heralds of life revealing the value of human life.
"Women in a certain sense are the greatest testimony to the life of the child within the womb even more so than a biologist or a doctor. She experiences it in her heart that that was a child, that was a human being someone who was created in the image and likeness of God.
"Something too that is very important to note is that adoption is a very good thing. There are certain people who almost always have the idea that they would almost prefer to have their child killed rather than giving the child up for adoption. This also has been studied that adoption is a very good thing for the child and it’s a very good thing as well for the unwed mother. There are and this is a very large had to believe statistic but it’s true. There are about 2 million couples who long to adopt a child, 2 million couples and yet only 50,000 non-related children are placed for adoption every year."Many of these 2 million couples would want to have 2 or more children to adopt but they are just not there. And when you consider that only 50 thousand non-related children are place up for adoption every year and you have about l.3 million abortions every year, 2 million couples who want to adopt even more than one child even of all these abortion, they were all these children were born and given to a family. There still would be more families that would want to have a child."Studies have consistently shown that these children who are given up for adoption right after birth, if they are taken right from the hospital to the family do much better than children who are raised by their single biological mother. They repeat grades less, need mental health professionals, have better health, and have better standing in their school classes, have fewer behavior problems…"

Fr. Greg Staab, What Happened at Fatima, M1273 at St. Joseph Radio (714) 744-0336 or 800-500-4556.
“A lot of horrible things can happen when a woman is having an abortion. And often times she doesn’t want to talk about it. In fact, studies have shown that there is {are} great similarities between women who have had an abortion and women who have been raped.
“There is a tremendous amount of shame that is involved with it and with that shame they don’t want to talk about it. And they keep it hidden. They carry that pain within them and that hurt which is within them.
“Something too, about it there is growing evidence for what is called P.A.S. It is called post-abortion-syndrome. And this becomes manifest often times only between 5 and 10 years after the woman has had the abortion. The reason for this is this: A woman who has an abortion is repressing. It’s too painful. What is she repressing? The fact that someone that she loved and someone deeply close to her died.
“And there is a grieving process. This is something I remember the first time that I had to go to the hospital and there was a woman who had a miscarriage. I was shocked at the tears of this woman. And how she was just incapable of being consoled at the fact of the death of her child. And I thought she never even knew this child, and yet there is a bond there.
“There is something that is very intimate that God himself has created. And when that child dies, she has to go through the grieving process. When she has an abortion she doesn’t permit herself to grieve and it’s all shoved out. It’s all repressed.
“What is the second thing that she is repressing? She is repressing the fact that she is in some ways is responsible and as I said she is not the only one. Who is responsible often times? The people around her pressured her to have an abortion. She wasn’t supported. She wasn’t helped. It’s just not her sin. It’s the sin of other people as well. But she takes on the guilt. She takes on all the guilt and it’s too much. It’s absolutely too much and so it all has to be repressed.
“Repression is something unnatural and so eventually it starts to surface. One woman, she had this incredible depression that she was going through. She went to a psychologist and sort of talking about it. And the psychologist helped her to realize that this due to an abortion that you had 15 years ago and that you never dealt with, and it just then began to surface.
“It will surface at times, a hardening of the maternal instincts, a lack of warmth, phobias, compulsive disorders, feelings of disquiet around children, night mares. Some studies have shown that about 50% of women who have had abortions have suicidal thoughts. About 1/5 according to some study have attempted it. Especially on the anniversary of the abortion, on the anniversary of the child who should have been born there is depression….”

Fr. Greg Staab, What Happened at Fatima, M1273 at St. Joseph Radio (714) 744-0336 or 800-500-4556.
“A lot of horrible things can happen when a woman is having an abortion. And often times she doesn’t want to talk about it. In fact, studies have shown that there is {are} great similarities between women who have had an abortion and women who have been raped.
“There is a tremendous amount of shame that is involved with it and with that shame they don’t want to talk about it. And they keep it hidden. They carry that pain within them and that hurt which is within them.
“Something too, about it there is growing evidence for what is called P.A.S. It is called post-abortion-syndrome. And this becomes manifest often times only between 5 and 10 years after the woman has had the abortion. The reason for this is this: A woman who has an abortion is repressing. It’s too painful. What is she repressing? The fact that someone that she loved and someone deeply close to her died.

The Unborn, Abortion, Voting, Fatima # 7
Let us celebrate the 125th Knights of Columbus Convention in Nashville, Tennessee on Aug. 7-9th, 2007. Pray that wise decisions will be made and the truth proclaimed. The attached classic talk # 7 of 12 is to commemorate this gathering.
The Unborn, Abortion, Voting, Fatima # 7
Thursday, Aug. 2, 2007
This is page 7 transcribed from a tape by Father Greg Staab, titled, What Happened at Fatima? This tape M 1273 is available at St. Joseph Radio in the city of Orange. (714) 744-0336.
“As Frederica Matthews Green a Feminist for Life of America stated, ‘No woman wants an abortion as she wants an ice cream cone or a Porsche. She wants an abortion as an animal caught in a trap wants to gnaw off its own leg. She feels like there is kind of no hope, no alternative for her.’
“Most if not all counselors and researchers on both sides of the political issue would agree that most abortion decisions involve elements of fear and despair on the part of a woman, What abortion counselors fail to tell women who are choosing abortion is that the loss of their leg, the loss of their child will leave them crippled for life in many ways.
“Crisis Pregnancy Centers where pro-lifers are committed to save the woman and her child note and tell them there is hope. There is hope, and there are alternatives. You don’t have to have the abortion. That’s the message of the Church, the message of Christ.
“There is hope you don’t have to have an abortion. And in fact it is amazing the charity that exists in our country. There is a whole series of 1-800 numbers that women can call. You can call them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You call that number somebody will always be there to answer the phone. They will the person a place to stay if they can’t stay with their family or their friends. They will give them medical attention. They will give them counseling. They will give them maternity clothes, clothes for their children. They will give them counseling for adopting services.
“I am just going to give you one of them here. It’s 1-800-848-LOVE, 1-800-848-LOVE, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, somebody is there to answer the phone and to help the person to know there is hope, there is {are} alternatives. One of the things too about women who are in the situation; as they’re in crisis. They are in a time of crisis. What happens to people when they are in a time of crisis? They give away their power to make decisions. They are not capable in making decisions. When people are in a crisis, they are nervous. What do they do? They listen to the people around them. And they are strongly influenced by the people around them. And because of that 50% of women who have had abortions claim if somebody had just been there to support me and tell me to have my child and to note that it would be a good thing to have a child. They said that they would have had the child.
“What often times happens is that they go to the abortion mill, the abortion chamber and what do they hear there? What is the abortion industry about? It’s about selling abortions. That’s what they are in business for, that’s how they make their money. So when the person comes there, they are trained actually and they’ll try to convince the person to have the abortion.
“They’ll make the person feel guilty if they don’t have the abortion. Who is going to pay for all of this? And they’ll go through how much money it costs to raise a child today. And you are going to put this burden on your parents, on your boy friend. You’re being selfish. So this person who is in crisis and who doesn’t often times even want to talk about it will go through the abortion….”

Insights - Hilaire Belloc - "The Modern Attack" # 2 of 2
INSIGHTS – Hilaire Belloc – “The Modern Attack” # 2 of 2
Wednesday, Aug. 1, 2007
“It is impossible to act rightly without truth. That is why the will to know the truth, to seek it humbly and with a readiness to learn it, is the basic prerequisite of all morality. Where profit or success leads to the neglect of truth, the world is fragmented into interests groups because profit always depends on the viewpoint of the one acting. (1988), July 27th, Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, Co-Workers of the Truth, Meditations for every day of the Year, Ignatius, 1990.
Let us continue with Hilaire Belloc’s book, The Great Heresies, We will complete the chapter on The Modern Phase. This book was first published in 1938.
“Anyhow, there you have the Modern Attack in its main character, materialist, and atheist: and, being atheist, it necessarily indifferent to truth. For God is Truth.
“But there is (as the greatest of the ancient Greeks discovered),a certain indissoluble Trinity of Truth, Beauty and Goodness. You cannot deny or attack one of these three without at the same time denying or attacking both the others. Therefore with the advance of this new and terrible enemy against the Faith and all that civilization which the Faith produces, there is coming not only a contempt for beauty but a hatred of it; & immediately upon the heels of this there appears a contempt and hatred for virtue…
“Though this Modern Attack,… It is essentially atheist, even when atheism is not overly predicated. It regards man as sufficient to himself, prayer as mere self-suggestion and – the fundamental point – God as no more as a figment of the imagination, an image of man’s self thrown by man on the universe; a phantasm and no reality….
“… the denial of God had been confined in the past to comparatively small number of intellectuals, that denial had now gained the multitude and was acting everywhere as a social force.
“This is the modern enemy; this is that rising flood, the greatest and what may prove to be the final struggle between the Church and the world….
“But the Faith and use of the intelligence are inextricably bound up. The use of Reason is a main part – or rather the foundation – of all inquiry into the highest things. It was precisely because reason was given this divine authority that the Church proclaimed mystery- that is, admitted reason to have its limits….
“When reason is dethroned, not only is Faith dethroned (the two subversions go together) but every moral and legitimate activity of the human soul is dethroned at the same time. There is no God. So the words “God is Truth” which the mind of Christian Europe used as a postulant in all it did, cease to have meaning…. And reason is thus made a victim because Humanity itself is what the Modern Attack is destroying in its false religion of humanity. Reason being the crown of man and at the same time his distinguishing mark, the Anarchs march against reason as their principle enemy….
“… Either the Catholic Church (now rapidly becoming the only place wherein the traditions of civilization are understood and defended) will be reduced by her modern enemies to political impotence, to numerical insignificance, and, so far as public appreciation goes, to silence, or the Catholic Church will in this case as throughout the pat, react more strongly against her, she will recover and extend her authority, and will rise once more to the leadership of civilization which she made, and thus recover and restore the world.
“In a word, either we of the Faith shall become a small persecuted neglected island amid mankind, or we shall be able to lift at the end of the struggle the old battle-cry, “Christus Imperat.” ....The Church will not disappear, for the Church is not of mortal stuff; it is the only institution among men not subject to the universal law of mortality.”
