Just received from Tony Ryan of Ignatius Press (see below).

Friends,

See this strong letter from Bishop Jenky in Peoria regarding the latest attack by President Obama on the Church and its pro-life principles. Then do all that you can to help stop this outrageous assault by this administration on the moral convictions of our faith.

Bishop Jenky’s words in his letter are similar to “Iniquis Afflictisque” – the Encyclical letter sent to all faithful in Mexico during the persecution of the Catholic Church in the 1920s. That Encyclical is also included for you to read and pass along.

On a side note, a powerful new movie about the martyrs of the Cristeros war of Mexico is releasing in the movie theaters in June. Initially titled “Cristiada” it is now titled “For Greater Glory”. It stars Andy Garcia, Peter O’Toole, Eduardo Verastegui, Eva Longoria and others. Watch for it.

Here is a link to the current film website, and trailer
