“The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being.”- Bl. John Paul II

More food for thought:
“I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history.”

More food for thought…
"All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void."- Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137, 176
Even More Food For Thought
"Men by their constitutions are naturally divided into two parties: 1. Those who fear and distrust the people, and wish to draw all powers from them into the hands of the higher classes. 2. Those who identify themselves with the people, have confidence in them, cherish and consider them as the most honest and safe, although not the most wise depositary of the public interests."- Thomas Jefferson to Henry Lee, 1824. ME 16:73
God grant His Holiness Pope Benedict many (many!) happy and blessed years!
May our beloved Holy Father live and reign for many, many more glorious years. And look for some more great news from the Pope of Unity coming soon.
Ad multos annos!
Dear Holy Father, Happy Birthday and ad multos gloriosque annos!
Ad multos annos!!
A most Blessed and Happy Birthday to the Holy Father (and to my wife who shares the same birthday!).
Maligayang kaarawan Santo Papa at sana pagpalain kayo ng ating Panginoon!
Ad Multos Annos!!!
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag, Herr Prof. Dr. Heilige Vater!
Hoch soll er leben! Dreimal hoch!
Es segne Dich der Herr und behuete Dich. Er lasse Sein Antlitz leuchten ueber dir. Sein Angesicht wende der Herr dir zu. Er sei dir gnaedig und schenke dir Heil.
Herzlichen Glueckwuensch!
Obligatory nitpick: [Not in the mood today.]
Not “gloriosos”?
Happy birthday, our dear Holy Father. May you happily reign for many-many years. Ad multos annos!
And let everyone say, Amen!
Happy Birthday! We love you!
On this happy day: Tempora bona veniant! Pax Christi veniat! Regnum Christi veniat!
Orémus pro beatíssimo Papa nostro Benedícto. R. Dóminus consérvet eum, et vivíficet eum, et beátum fáciat eum in terra, et non tradat eum in ánimam inimicórum ejus.
Mnohaja L’ita!
To the pontiff who will one day be proclaimed “Doctor Pellicidus”, a most happy birthday and many, many more.
Sorry, “Doctor Pellucidus”. Mea culpa.
Fair enough.
Wishing the Holy Father health, happiness, strength and long life….He is loved and respected by so many. Indeed this Pope has been my spiritual leader…God Bless
Happy Birthday Holy Father, and may we be blessed with your firm and faithful leadership for many more years to come!
Mi querido y amado papa Benedicto XVI, que hermoso conocer un poquito de su historia tan personal y tan querida para su alma..
nunca nada será por casualidad. pues, todo es providencial…
Y usted, mi querido papa fue llamado para algo especial..
tan especial que me ha devuelto la vida y la alegría de mi primer amor. la alegría de mi juventud..
desde aquel momento ya mi señor sabia que através de usted muchos encontraríamos la razón de nuestra existencia ser hijos muy amados del padre celestial y vivir como células vivas dentro del mismo cuerpo místico de Cristo..
tenemos vida aunque muchas veces nos quieran quitar la vida.
todo lo poseemos aunque no tenemos nada.. somos todo por que somos imagen y semejanza de un Dios creador dueño absoluto de todo lo creado..
y usted mi querido papa le a dado sentido a mi vida y esperanza a mi desesperanza, ahora la espera tiene sentido, ahora la lucha y el esfuerzo tiene sentido, ahora conozco a un testigo que ama y es la luz que ilumina el mundo , un mundo sin Dios y sin amor..
esa luz es la luz que usted refleja
esa luz que irradia la belleza de Cristo, la mirada de Cristo y Amor de Cristo..
felicidades santo Padre..
y gracias por ser instrumento de paz y amor para el mundo entero..
feliz cumpleanos!
su hija
Mary
Ad multos annos! Feliciter!

Happy Birthday to a wonderful pope! Ad multos annnos!!!
Rohaigirl just exclaimed, “Oh, it’s the Pope’s birthday today!” and Gabby (10) spontaneously broke out “happy birthday to the Pope, happy birthday to the Pope.” Another wonderful day.
Holy Father: Alles Gute zum Geburtstag!
Happy anniversary, Holy Father!

¡Feliz cumpleaños querido santo padre!
