Philadelphia Catholics demand changes in the churchFrom CNN Philadelphia affiliate KYW: Protesters surrounded the entrance to Basilica’s Saint Peters and Paul in Philadelphia, Sunday demanding the change they say the church is lacking. “Let’s not risk one more day of one more child being hurt the way we were,” said one protester. The protesters say they are upset, but not surprised, that three priests, Edward Avery, Charles Engelhardt and James Brennan, as well as a teacher, Bernard Shero, were charged with sexually assaulting and raping two young boys over a period of several years. View Philadelphia Archbishop Justin Rigali's video responding to the charges. Read the full story about the Philadelphia protests on KYW's website.

Because on this day of love, I have decided the best gift I can give myself and my family is a healthy life, a healthy wife, and a healthy mom. And eating sweets isn’t healthy for me in this season of my life. It sends me into a spiral of unhealthy food choices. |
