Since the president, the speaker of the House, the majority of the Supreme Court, local U.S. Reps. Anthony Gonzalez and Tim Ryan and a large percentage of the country’s voters are practicing Catholics, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has a great opportunity to help unify the country and steer the direction of important legislation. I just read that that they voted to prepare a teaching document on communion versus pro-choice politicians.
After illogically advising Catholics to avoid the Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine during a pandemic, they pick one of the most divisive issues in the U.S. to address. If they truly wish to reduce abortions, they should start with changing their positions on prevention education, birth control and day-after pills, as Democratic Catholic politicians have urged for years.
At the conference, Bishop Robert McElroy warned that the initiative could weaken the bishop’s ability to speak on issues such as immigration, poverty, racism and the environment. These all appear to be areas where Jesus Christ would want his churches to show leadership. The “sound of silence” is deafening.

The editorial “How can we really stop unauthorized immigration?” (June 3) depicts a welcome shift in American policy toward stemming the tide of migrants from Central America. This new policy attempts to address the root causes that compel Central Americans to leave their homes in search of a better life for themselves and their families.
As president of Central American Medical Outreach (CAMO), I agree with the editorial, which stated: “We would also like to see this administration take a similar step with nonprofit and faith-based agencies, many of whom are well-equipped and already working in the region.” Our 27 years of experience in Central America have taught us several lessons. First is that many government entities are notoriously corrupt. Second is that improving the lives of Central Americans requires a holistic approach that addresses needs in public health, health care, education, free enterprise and community development. Third is that many NGO “Band-Aid brigades” that swoop in and complete a few projects or clinics and then leave without an ongoing presence can actually cause more harm than good.
Spending our resources in the countries of need makes far more sense than using those same resources to stem the tide at the border. We applaud this new approach by the current administration, but these measures must be implemented wisely, otherwise the result will be a squandering of U.S. taxpayer dollars.

Without offering convincing data or strong evidence of the problem, Ohio senators claim excessive levels of fraud by food assistance beneficiaries (“Senate adds rules to food stamps in state budget,” June 12).
While many participants receive long-term program benefits, a significant number receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits only temporarily. When the economy is stronger and the poverty rate declines, the SNAP caseload closely mirrors the trend, falling as well — exactly what a safety net program should do.
These new SNAP restrictions in the Senate budget depend on a myth, not a problem. If adopted, they will exclude truly needy families, make enrollment more difficult and cost Ohio more to administer.
Hopefully, the General Assembly will delete this section of the budget or Gov. Mike DeWine will veto it. Your phone call to our governor could help that happen.

Twenty-eight years ago this May, the dream that became CAMO was born.
I had been home from the Peace Corps for twelve years and was working as an RN, barely making enough to pay off my college loans and support myself. Sitting crosslegged on the floor of the double-wide home
I purchased for $5,000 when I returned from Peace Corp in 1981, I had a nagging desire, a dream of returning in a helpful way, a different way; the dream was so big it seemed like a burden. Read more

In Honduras, there is tremendous need in the education system. Children living in poor and isolated communities lack access to technology, so their only way to learn is through textbooks—but the government does not provide any books for children or teachers… Read more
CARING FOR THOSE WHO HAVE LOST EVERYTHING
Early in November, hurricane eta swept through Honduras, destroying crops and devastating the land. Two weeks later, hurricane iota finished the job by destroying their homes. Now they are left with nothing. These natural disasters, combined with covid-19 illnesses, mean that our friends in Honduras need our help now more than ever. See more..
POR TODOS AQUELLOS QUE LO HAN PERDIDO TODO
El huracán eta provocó destrucción y pérdida de cultivos. El huracán iota dos semanas después se apoderó de sus hogares y se quedaron sin nada. Estos desastres naturales, combinados con la covid-19, significa que nuestros compatriotas necesitan nuestra ayuda ahora más que nunca.
Como cuidar a un enfermo diagnosticado con Covid 19 y al resto de la familia en casa
Escrito por Dr. Carlos Claudino, Especialista en Salud Pública y Especialista en Ginecología y Obstetricia
INTRODUCCION:
Después de haber afrontado la experiencia de tener cinco familiares simultáneamente diagnosticados con Covid 19 en casa, entre ellos mis padres de 91 y 86 años con comorbilidades previas, y tres días después mi persona, se desprenden estas reflexiones que podrían ser útiles a otros grupos familiares que podrían enfrentar situaciones similares a estas.
El objetivo es manejar adecuadamente el caso para evitar sus complicaciones y evitar la diseminación de la enfermedad en el resto de la familia. Estas reflexiones nacen de lo vivido y de lo reportado por la literatura médica nacional e internacional y se plantean en tres áreas: en que hacer antes de la aparición del primer caso, que hacer durante se tiene el caso y que hacer después.
Ninguna casa de habitación tiene las condiciones o está preparada para cuidar enfermos, mucho menos para cuidar de una enfermedad infecciosa altamente transmisible, tanto para los cuidados del enfermo como para evitar el contagio a otros miembros de la familia, por ello es absolutamente necesario tomar algunas previsiones.
Materiales y cosas para hacer y tener listos en casa:
Cuando alguien en casa refiera fiebre, tos, cansancio, dolor de cabeza, diarrea, una de ellas o todas sin explicación evidente sospeche que sea Covid 19. Si esta persona es del sexo masculino, mayor de 60 años y/o tiene enfermedades como Hipertensión Arterial, Diabetes Mellitus o enfermedades del Hígado, una de ellas o todas ponga especial atención con él.
