Benedict's Vigil For Life
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Faith on Wednesday, December 01, 2010
As Lynn noted last week, the Holy Father kicked off Advent by leading an international prayer vigil for life.
This poster from an ad campaign in the UK seemed like the perfect illustration to accompany the Pope’s homily.
At a Vespers service, Pope Benedict beautifully linked the preciousness of life to the reality of the Incarnation.
He becomes a child. It speaks to us of the coming of a God who is... READ MORE

I think this might be the most pro-life ad I’ve ever seen—and it’s advertising a snack.
Doesn’t that remind you of John Paul the Great’s remark that among the goods parents strive to give their kids, the greatest is siblings?

It was the Tim Tebow ad that got most of the pre-game attention, but I’m curious to see how you felt about the rest of the ads, now that the big game is over.

Have you seen the new “wear the pants” ad from Dockers?
A girlfriend gives the ad a big thumbs up.
She posted this, with a link to the ad in question, to her Facebook page:
“Last month, in a rare outing without the kids, but still visibly pregnant, I was on a full airport shuttle between the gates and baggage claim. Women, including myself, and elderly folks were standing, some moms were sitting... READ MORE
Roe v. Roe

Norma McCorvey, the “Jane Roe” of Roe v. Wade, just recorded a powerful pro-life ad.
It’s made by Virtue Media, the group we talked about last month whose pro-life advertising is having such a profound effect wherever it airs.
In a press release, Virtue Media reports the ad is getting an overwhelmingly positive response wherever it’s being shown—although it’s drawing some negative emails as well. What do you think?

The ad at left is running in and on the buses of my hometown, Washington, D.C.
The American Humanist Association is spending $40,000 on a “good, not god” campaign for Christmas.
JoEllen Murphy, however, is not one to read such stories and tsk-tsk the state of things. Instead, she called the local transit authority and found out what it would cost to run a counter ad campaign. She found that with... READ MORE

If you didn’t like that Motrin ad, what do you think of this one? It’s running in Canada.
