The CatholiCity Message
Volume II, Number 43 – November 17, 1998
Dear CatholiCity Citizen,
A couple big items this week. First, a bona fide CatholiCity Exclusive:
1. NOT AVAILABLE IN STORES
Several months ago, we received a manuscript from our longtime friend, Steve K., founder and director of One More Soul, a Catholic apostolate dedicated to telling folks the truth about the Church's teaching on life issues. Many of you have heard their audio, "Contraception, Why Not?" by Dr. Janet Smith. Anyway, the manuscript was called "Physicians Healed" and it was so hot it almost burned our fingers.
We all love to read short, "layman's terms" conversion stories in the unvarnished words of the converted. That's why "Surprised by Truth" is such a huge success–not only as a book, but as a tool for conversion. "Physicians Healed" is the same kind of book, destined to become a classic. The stories are like popcorn–you can't read just one. And here is what makes the stories so breathtaking:
All fifteen conversion stories in "Physicians Healed" are by doctors who changed their minds about prescribing contraceptives and abortifacients. Their stories are nothing short of compelling. It's fascinating to read about their spiritual and professional conversions, and how they dealt with the tremendous guilt of knowing that their medical practices caused the destruction of innocent human life in the womb. Their courage when publicly changing their practices and the often surprising results.
Every Catholic layman should read this book. Every Christian doctor should read this book. In fact, if just one doctor "converts" because of the true stories in this book, many hundreds of immortal babies will come into the world who otherwise would have been snuffed out before their births. How would you like to go to heaven, and be able to present these little souls to Our Heavenly Father? We know you would. We know you love life!
This brand new book is a reality that was a dream four years ago. Hot off the press, this announcement in CatholiCity is the very first time it's being made available to the general public. We decided that CatholiCity Citizens, whose "word of mouth" rockets through the Internet like a goose through a manure factory, are the perfect means to freebase this important, soul-saving tool into the Catholic bloodstream. It's up to you.
God is mending and planning to mend immortal souls into the womb of their mothers. Their fates depend on you.
This book will normally cost $10 plus $4 shipping and handling. For the next four days, through Friday, November 20th, exclusively for CatholiCity Citizens and your friends, it's available for a donation of $6 each, any quantity, free shipping. Be sure to forward this email to as many people in your address book as you can. As you know, CatholiCity receives no compensation for these Exclusives (and One More Soul is probably going to lose money, too). Here's how to order:

2. IT WAS VOLTAIRE
According to a CatholiCity Citizen, last week's Quote of the Week, attributed to Anonymous, "Perfect is the enemy of good," was actually coined by Voltaire, one of the progenitors of the anti-god French Revolution. Mr. Anonymous was a better and more clever guy, in our opinion.
JOKE OF THE WEEK
Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused to take Novacane? He was trying to transcend dental medication. (Ouch.)
10,000 HEALING PRAYERS
Let's pray together for the healing of all CatholiCity Citizens and their relatives suffering from illness, mental or physical. "Saint Raphael, Divine Physician, please watch over CatholiCity's sick. Dear Jesus, we love you. Please, if it is the Will of the Father, heal the mental and physical infirmities of CatholiCity Citizens and their relatives. Amen."
Always with Mary,
Your Friends at CatholiCity
