The CatholiCity Message

Volume II, Number 2 – January 14, 1998

Dear CatholiCity Citizen,

Several short but sweet items this week, with an urgent plea for prayers for a friend at the end:

1. MULTIPLIER
You can be the "multiplier" of this CatholiCity Message. You should feel free to repost this to your own email address book.

2. LET'S START A TREND
We recently invented a symbol for email called a "spider smiley." ::::) Get it? Eight eyes and a smiling mouth–a friendly spider on the "Web." Feel free to spread it around.

3. PRAY FOR JOE SCHEIDLER
Perhaps no man has done more to save babies, convert abortion providers, and shut down abortion mills than Notre Dame graduate, Joe Scheidler of the Pro Life Action League (Chicago). That's why the National Organization of Women (NOW) is unjustly suing him in an effort to shut him down. After years of legal red tape, his trial will begin on March 2nd. If this fearless father of a large family loses, NOW will go after other effective pro-lifers. He has asked for prayers. Bernard Nathanson, Professor Charles Rice, Fr. Frank Pavone, and Joan Andrews Bell have all publicly endorsed Joe's battle. We told Joe that CatholiCity citizens would rally around him with daily prayers from now until the trial ends. So add Joe Scheidler to your daily Rosary, Mass, morning prayers, and daily reparations. Put a note on your mirror or refrigerator as a reminder. Send him a letter at P.L.A.L., 6160 North Cicero, Suite 600, Chicago, IL 60646, and let him know you're praying. (Phone 773-777-2900). While you're at it, send a contribution to aid his legal defense. We'll keep you updated.

Until next week...

Yours with Mary,

Your Friends at CatholiCity
