Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vordie on Saturday, August ninth. It's the fifteenth annual
Breakfast for Life hosted by Essential Pregnancy Services Auxiliary, and
we have their keynote speaker for this breakfast event at
Saint Vincent de Paul one hundred and forty fourth and
Eagle Run. This is the church Saint Vincent de Paul
Paris Center. It's Colleen Kelly Mass who joins us now
(00:24):
taking time away from her radio show she does on
hundreds and hundreds of radio stations to be a part
of our little program here in Omaha. Hello Colleen.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Hello, it's great to be here with you, Scott. Thanks
for inviting me, and I'm excited about promoting the Breakfast
for Life coming up a week from Saturday. UALLYX fly
out a week from right now, and I hope that
they sell lots and lots of tickets. I know that
the chairwoman, Judy Erdie, who said the Breakfast for Life
(00:55):
has grown from eighty people to four hundred, so we're
a few seats short of four hundred right now. So
one of the reasons I'm on today is to give
out that information as you just did and tell people
how to come and get a ticket to support life
because I mean today they I mean when you realize
that the pro life movement has changed and that abortion
(01:18):
is even worse than it was now sixty three percent
of abortions are using that medication. So girls think they're entering, Oh,
I don't have to walk into the clinic, this is
going to be okay, and it's actually worse. It's just
destroying them. So we can't be complacent about pro life.
We've got to support all the pro life efforts.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
What do you think has happened here in terms of
those who are able to seek and get an abortion.
A lot of people think, well, President Trump, he got
elected in twenty sixteen. We had a difference in the
makeup of the Supreme Court, the overturned Row versus Way.
There have been some bans on abortion at certain points
in so many states. So we've fixed a bor. There's
(02:00):
no more abortion. That's not true, is it.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
No, it's the abortion mentality that is killing all these
babies right now. When abortion first became legal, people were
horrified that someone would even think. I would say the
majority of the population was horrified that someone would even
think that they would kill their own baby. In the womb.
Well since nineteen seventy three, it's been several decades where
(02:27):
this has become commonplace. It's legal, it's safe, it's okay.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
It's good.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
And so now in this time where abortion isn't as accessible,
thanks be to God, Thanks to be to God. At
least I don't have to pay for people's abortions, but
in certain states have limited abortion access. All those things
are good, But what the real enemy is now is
(02:54):
how the evil one has permeated people's minds to make
them even want abortion, think it's normal, think that it's
a form of birth control, and carry on with their
promiscuous lifestyles that destroy their capacity to love. As you
can tell, I can get pretty passionate about this well,
and you.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Talk about it in your radio program, Masked Appeals. We're
talking with Colleen Kelly Mast. She's on Catholic radio stations,
including satellite radio series XM across the country. She's also
written some education programs like Love and Life and Sex Respect.
You talk with young people about healthy relationships and you
(03:34):
talk directly to them about the realities of sex. When
I talk to my teenagers, I've got two at home.
They're my kids. I don't hold them hostage or anything.
I can't even right right, I can't even get them
to lock in and focus on things. I'm telling them, like, hey,
if you're going out with your friends all day to day,
(03:55):
make sure and put some sunscreen on. They're like whatever, Boomer,
and then they leave. You talk with these kids about
a topic that most even parents cringe at talking to
their kids about. Certainly their kids cringe when it's brought up,
and that is healthy relationships. Why do you do that
to yourself?
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Really? Well, Actually, I love God and I love the
capacity to love that He's given us. I appreciate that
we each have the power to create new life, and
God wants us to do that in a loving relationship.
So even if I'm in a public school, I'll talk
and for my sex respect program, I'll talk about how
mentally healthy, socially healthy, and emotionally healthy it is to
(04:40):
wait until marriage. So I hold up for these young
people a positive view of what a relationship is supposed
to be rather than just trying to get the person
in bed and see if you can score and then
see what happens after that. So when they find out
what a healthy relationship is and in order to have
a healthy relationship, they need to practice sexual abstinence. We'll
(05:02):
talk about if it's a public school, or chastity if
it's a Catholic school. And I've had decades of working
with teenagers, so I recently wrote a program called love
ed that has videos and workbooks to go with it,
that empowers the parents to have that talk themselves. Because
my our bishop said, like, why can't you be everywhere
(05:24):
you know? Why can't you write this for everybody else?
So I did. I wrote this down and it's in
videos my love ed program. You can go to love
ed dot com and I'll bring some samples with me
next Saturday when I'm there speaking at the Essential Pregnancy
Services Breakfast for Life. I'll have a table there with
some love and life books. Those are for teenagers, some
sex respect books for junior high or high school, secular
(05:47):
thinking or public schools, and my love ed books for
there's one just for parents and grandparents and godparents and
you know, aunts and uncles that want to talk to
their teens about purity and goodness, what relationships should be
rather than just focusing on the physical part of a relationship.
And then I've love Ed books for fathers and sons
(06:08):
and mothers and daughters to work together with videos. So
I've provided resources for them based on a gift that
God gave me, essentially and a lot of experience that
I've had talk to giving mother and daughter talks or
giving teenage talks, and giving youth retreats and youth trallies.
Because I know that our young people want what is good.
(06:28):
I think it's just like written in their hearts. They
want to do good. And that in particularly when I've
seen the success of sex respect in the public schools,
to see that whether or not someone has religion or virtue,
they know in their heart it's best to keep their
clothes on while they're dating and wait until marriage. And
I mean somehow they have that instinct and when they
(06:50):
have done the health reasons to wait. Oh, this is
reasons of mental health. This is why I don't want
to be in this particular fere. This is for my
physical health, this is for my social health. And they
can see in sex respect or even in speculator thinking
and health language why waiting until marriage is important. Because
our powers to give life should be valued just as
(07:12):
life should be valued. But the when I speak at
Saturday at the Essential Pregnancy Services Breakfast for Life, we'll
talk about, you know, being pro life, but a lot
of my work has been trying to put pro lifers
out of business. You know, we should not have abortion clinics.
We shouldn't have people with this abortion mentality that's permeated
(07:35):
the culture so badly that people take lightly their power
to give life and they take lightly what relationships are.
So I teach the relationship and ultimate respect for life
and our power to give life.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
You've been talking about this so long that you've you've
been doing this since If a young person wanted to
see some smut, you had to know a guy who
had an older brother who knew a guy who knew
they could get some smut. Now we just we pay
for these expensive devices that we give to our kids,
sometimes completely unchecked. It's in their pocket all the time.
(08:08):
The temptation to find anything you want whenever you want
it online via your smartphone is something that is really
really difficult to overcome. How do you talk to young
people about that?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
The temptation is there, and this is where I help
for young people to learn the meaning of sexual integrity,
so that they know the meaning and purpose of their life,
because all young people are looking for meaning and life,
and the meaning and purpose of their powers to give
life and proper use of that, and the proper use
(08:43):
of our sexuality is other centered. It's to bond a
couple in marriage or to bring children into the world,
and those two are not opposed to each other. They're
connected to each other. To bring a couple closer together
in marriage and kind of renew the marriage vows, and
then to be open to the possibility that your love
(09:03):
is so great it can come alive and a whole
new person, and you can see your love alive and
a new human being. That power to do that belongs
in a very sacred relationship. And sexual integrity is what
I tell them, is appreciating this power to give life,
(09:25):
knowing that you want your partner to be faithful to
you even before you meet them, and you want to
be faithful to them even before you meet them, because
the consequences of not being faithful your whole life until
your wedding night and then you can consummate that marriage
has many consequences, and those are in my Public School
(09:46):
of Sexual Respect book. But some of it is that
sex outside of marriage can fool you into marrying the
wrong person because the strong chemical bonds of the hormones
can lead you to believe your relationship is deeper than
it actually is, and then couples wake up a few
years later and go, oh, my goodness, you know, I
didn't really like that person that much. Another part of
(10:07):
the disrespect today is that people are not even looking
at marriage. In my sex respect book, I have a chapter,
you know, about marriage not being a dinosaur. You know
that that people hunger for intimacy, they hunger for relationships,
They're looking for meaning in life, and to follow a
way of goodness and virtue and sexual integrity will actually
(10:28):
be a framework for them to have more meaningful relationships
and more meaningful lives.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
You are so open in talking about all of this
that it's it's elicited emails like this, I'll let this
email remain this email or remain nameless. Who says, Scott,
I don't I don't even talk with my wife about
sex with my wife. So this is certainly a subject
that a lot of people are like, But it's it's
(10:57):
I don't know if there's a conversation that's more important
to have and That's that's what the fifteenth Annual Breakfast
for Life next Saturday at Saint Vincent de Paul one
hundred and forty fourth of Maple is all about. You
can do a Google search for Breakfast for Life Omaha.
You'll find that Essential Pregnancy Services is putting this on
