We believe in the teachings of the Cathoic Church and wish to share this "Good News" with the entire medical community - including non Catholics or non practicing Catholics whose faith may have lapsed.

We promote the concept that it is possible to have a strong faith in the teachings of the Catholic Church and practice medicine to the highest possible standards. Faith and Reason go hand in hand as outlined in John Paul II's encyclical "Fides et Ratio".

Furthermore, as Catholics we are challenged to go further and to bring our faith to bear on how we practice medicine in order to build a "Culture of Life" and "Civilization of Love" as explained in the wonderful encyclical "Evangelium Vitae".

A- Mechanism of Action of the Oral Contraceptive Pill

An excellent video is available HERE , which clearly demonstrates the mechanism of action of the oral contraceptive pill. It explains that at least some of the time "The Pill" works by preventing implantation after conception has occurred. This is an abortive effect which many couples and Physicians may find objectionable to use or prescribe. People have a right to know this information and we are happy to facilitate making this known.
