WJMJ Religious Headlines

Massachusetts Deacon Healed by NewmanCardinals of the Vatican Congregation for the Causes of Saints have approved a miracle in Massachusetts. Deacon Jack Sullivan of the Archdiocese of Boston suffered from a severe spinal disorder. He prayed to Cardinal Newman, and was subsequently cured in August 2001. Deacon Sullivan tells the London Times he feels "awe and immense gratitude" to God and Newman. He says without the miracle, he would never have been able to complete studies to become a permanent deacon. While the cardinals approved the miracle at their June meeting, the Pope has the final say on this case. Cardinal Newman was a well known 19th century writer and priest. He converted to Catholicism after serving as an Anglican minister.

George Tiller's Abortion Clinic Closes


George Tiller's abortion clinic has closed. The clinic, Women's Health Care Services, Inc., was one of the few in the country to offer late-term abortions. Tiller, of Wichita, Kan., was shot and killed at his church on May 31. Scott Roeder, an anti-abortion activist, is in Sedwick County Jail, awaiting trial. Roeder declared "victory" over the clinic's closing. He has not admitted guilt.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has come out against the killing, saying all human life is sacred and that a pro-life stance does not equate to violence.
