Lynne Abraham Leads, Now -- Help Her WIN!

Here is a very special message from the Lynne Abraham for Mayor campaign:

We just got great news and wanted to tell you right away. As you may have seen in the Philadelphia Inquirer a new poll has Lynne leading with 30% of the vote and the next closest challenger is only at 14%. But in order to win, we are going to need to keep this momentum going until the May 19th Election Day. Can we count on you to help us get there by donating $150, $250, or $500?

And the good news doesn’t just stop there. Lynne is also leading every demographic group, and voters clearly believe she is ready to lead on Day One. Check out what was written in the Philadelphia Inquirer:

“The poll showed Abraham with the highest favorable rating (59 percent), followed by Williams (38), Kenney (37), Diaz (26), Street (25), and Oliver (14).”

- Philadelphia Inquirer, 3/26/15

Click here to donate now and let’s keep the momentum trending upwards.

With this said, our opponents are on TV right now trying to close the gap.  We need your financial support now to make sure voters hear why Lynne is the tough, proven leader that Philadelphia needs to challenge business as usual. Click the link below to donate today: http://LynneAbraham.com/donate

Thank you,
- Team Lynne

Indiania Law Gives Catholics New Protection

Here is a very special message from

Dear friend,

What will Notre Dame do?

Thanks to a new Indiana law, the University of Notre Dame and other Catholic colleges in the state have greater protection for their religious beliefs.  Praise God!

But we asked two key observers: Does Notre Dame want the help?  Since October, it has provided spousal benefits to same-sex partners of employees, despite the public opposition of Bishop Kevin Rhoades.  No longer able to cite the law as an excuse, will Notre Dame now uphold Catholic teaching?  We asked key observers what they expect.

Regardless, we will certainly strive to uphold Church teaching!  And we'll pray for Jim Rigg, superintendent of Catholic schools in Cincinnati, who sat down with The Cardinal Newman Society to explain why his Archdiocese supports Catholic education as "ministry"—the very language that Archbishop Cordileone is defending in San Francisco.

And to help Catholic schools uphold the faith, pro-life curricula can provide the information and materials that schools need. See why pro-life leaders think Catholic schools are "vehicles" of the pro-life movement.

Sincerely yours in Christ,
Patrick Reilly
President

Lynne Abraham's Added Mayoral Advantage

We've known Lynne Abraham for many, many years and have the highest regard for her.
When it comes to who might be the next Mayor of Philadelphia, Lynne's really the ONLY person for the job.
She's the most experienced, the most dedicated, the most authentic public servant we know.
But here's one of the often overlooked keys to her strength: She's one of the most worldly public figures you will ever meet. She's incredibly aware, always people-oriented and  appealingly three-dimensional.
She’s traveled all over the world and is knowledgeable about so many things — art, music, literature, sports, movies, theater.
Anyone can converse easily with her about any of these topics and more, because Lynne understands that everything is related to everything else. She's also comfortable in every setting and every section of the city -- in every neighborhood -- where she is almostly instantly recognized and welcomed. No one knows the city better and no one loves it more.
Beyond all that, she’s fully engaged all the time. She has an admirable zest for living and remains curious about many things.
Bottom line: She'd make an incredible mayor -- someone who would be simpatico with the city and its citizens.

Pope Reaches Out To Victimized Christians

Pope Francis has a constant concern for the situation of Christian families and other groups of victims who have been expelled from their homes and villages, particularly in the city of Mosul and the Nineveh plains, many of whom have taken refuge in the autonomous region of Iraqi Kurdistan. The Pope prays for them and hopes they can return and resume their lives in the lands and places where they have lived and built good relationships for hundreds of years.

In this coming Holy Week, these families are sharing together with Christ the unjust violence of which they have been made victims, participating in the suffering of Christ himself.

In a desire to be close to these families, Cardinal Fernando Filoni, prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, is returning to Iraq as a sign of nearness, affection, and unity in prayer with them.

The families of the Diocese of Rome, united with their bishop in the feeling of nearness and solidarity with these families, through a special collection in the parishes, are sending the traditional Easter cakes in the shape of a dove (colomba cake) to share the joy of Easter and as a herald of good based on the faith in the Resurrection of Christ.

The Holy Father, moreover, makes himself present in a concrete way with a tangible sign of solidarity. Not wanting to forget the suffering of the families in northern Nigeria either, he has also sent a similar sign of solidarity through the local Bishop's Conference.
