A friend sent me the link to this up-and-coming documentary. I’ve not seen it yet, so I can’t give a commentary or full analysis, but I support natural childbirth. I *think* I understand where they’re going with the “orgasmic” parlance, but I’d like to see it before I make a judgement. The friend who sent the announcement to me is super excited, and hoping it really displays the sacred of human birth and life.
Zenit published a piece recently about the US Catholic Bishop’s approving a blessing for the newly conceived, to be prayed either at Mass or outside Mass. The next step is approval by the Vatican’s Congregation for Divine Worship & Sacraments. Since conception is the real “birth day” of the person, it’s very appropriate to celebrate conception! The Annunciation is the liturgical solemnity in the Church, so why not make it extra special for the domestic church?
