Ready, set, cook! Once again the priests of our diocese are polishing off their cooking skills in this worthwhile friendly competition.

Father David Cappelloni, pastor, SS. Anthony & Rocco Parish and Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish, Dunmore with an entire pasta-making army of Saint Mary of Mount Carmel School students.
To some members of the Rectory, Set, Cook! videography crew, watching someone make a homemade pasta dinner for four and have it on the table in under an hour would be impressive.

So to say Fr. David Cappelloni is impressive would be quite the understatement. This top finisher in Rectory, Set, Cook 2022, its inaugural year, may have outdone himself after a one-year hiatus. While in 2022, Fr. Cappelloni quite impressively made homemade pasta, sauce, meatballs and more for a large contingent of family and friends, this year he managed to replicate his signature recipes AND teach the art of homemade pasta-making to easily 50 St. Mary of Mount Carmel School students, all eager to learn their way around some noodles. He got by with a little help from some assistant chef parents, but how he managed to teach ALL these kids - and ALL these parents - not only how to make homemade pasta - FROM SCRATCH - and STILL have dinner on (this year) a large number of tables in under an hour, we'll never know.

While today is a monumental day in our country, it is also a profoundly sad day as I witness the reactions of so many people to the Supreme Court's ruling that simply states that there is no fundamental right to abortion in our Constitution. In short, the ruling confirms that the Constitution is neutral on abortion.

Our Declaration of Independence states that all people have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The very first right is the right to life; without that right, no other "rights" can be exercised.

What does it say about our country that some people are saying that "they hate this country" because of this ruling? People are angry that that the Supreme Court has found that there is no right for anyone to kill another human being.

People should be celebrating the fact that we are seeking to end violence against children - because abortion is nothing less than killing children. Some of these people are the very same ones who want gun control to protect lives! But if we are truly about protecting life, we do not pick and choose which lives to protect - and when we start protecting life at its very beginning, it is easier to respect and protect all life.

What kind of society approves of killing unborn babies and at the same time decries other violence against children? Are not both things horrible?

And while so many are claiming that women have lost their right to "choose," the simple truth is that no one has the right to choose to kill another human being - even if it is her own child growing within her womb. Women continue to have absolute control over their own bodies; however, their rights end where the rights of another human being begin. Women do not have, and never had, the right to end the life of another human being!
