Out of the dark. Nallely Perez at 14 years old was pregnant. Begrudgingly she chose life for her daughter. But it was not a fairy tale ending when she chose life. At least not yet. Her journey is one of inspiration and her story is the truth of many other women who find themselves today.In this episode we hear from Nallely Perez, a mother, a wife, and an abortion worker survivor. Listen to her story working at an abortion center and the listen to the why and what happens inside to people who work at these clinics. Listen to her story; it may not be much different than yours and maybe be the catalyst to bring about compassion to pray more and reach out to help those who find themselves employed at these clinics. Find out how she got out of that darkness and found herself in the light to help others be not victims of abortion through the organization that has fostered her vocation to be the voice of compassion.We also hear from Maria from Respect for Life of the Diocese of San Bernardino who at the posting of this episode is fighting against the opening of another Planned Parenthood Clinic in the city of Fontana, CA.

Back in his days as a student-athlete, after having played for the well-known Rockhurst High School, he attended Missouri Western State University on a four-year football scholarship and would go on to be inducted into their Hall of Fame. He was also selected as the Missouri Western 25th Anniversary Scholar-Athlete Award by the university in 2001. Later in life he would serve as the Kansas City Chiefs Team Dentist for 23 years.

To help us kick off October's “Respect Life” month, Gloria is speaking with Krisanne Vaillancourt Murphy about how a Catholic vision of restorative justice must guide our advocacy against the death penalty. Krisanne is the executive director of Catholic Mobilizing Network, a national organization that mobilizes Catholics and all people of goodwill to value life over death, to end the use of the death penalty, to transform the U.S. criminal justice system from punitive to restorative, and to build capacity in U.S. society to engage in restorative practices. In this episode, Krisanne explains the differences between a retributive and restorative model of justice and what each looks like in practice. “Restorative justice is not about no consequences,” says Krisanne, “You know, fundamental to restorative justice is an accountability. When people actually get to the point that they can admit that they've created a harm or they've harmed another, when they can get to that point where they're repentant. I mean, that's transformative. That's a different kind of justice." Gloria and Krisanne review the history of Catholic teaching on capital punishment, papal condemnations of the practice, and how it finally became impermissable according the the catechism.
