Fr. Tad Pacholczyk: Catholic Church NOT opposed to Stem Cell Research

The more I hear this priest on Priest's for Life and on programs like Teresa Tomeo's Catholic Connection on EWTN Radio/Ave Maria Radio in the morning (990 local AM radio for areas that can receive it in Southeast Michigan), the more I like him.

His background, as reported in this LifeSite News article, includes a doctorate in Neuroscience from Yale University (ching), and he has conducted post-doctoral research at Harvard Medical School (ching). From what I understand, he then felt called to the priesthood and studied theology and bioethics in Rome. (cha-CHING!!!). Now that is a set of credentials!

He is also the director of the National Catholic Bioethics Center, which has a website containing a wealth of information, including the Top 10 Myths of Stem Cell Research. You'll get a taste of them in the full LifeSite News article.

Everyone should read those 10 myths and arm themselves with the truth. Fr. Tad has written them in very easy to understand ways. It is up to each of us to be prepared to crush the vast amount of falsehoods floating around in the media. Consider writing into your local paper when there is discussion of stem cell research and provide the link to Fr. Tad's top 10 myths.
