I look forward to celebrating Mass for the 2008 Healing the Culture Conference in Bellevue on November 8th. I am fully committed along with members of Healing the Culture to...the common goal of bringing dignity and respect to every human being.
Dr. Joseph B. Fuiten, Senior Pastor, Cedar Park Assembly of God, Bothell, WA
I have been informed and motivated by listening to Father Spitzer and Camille Pauley. The Healing the Culture conference is valuable for every pro-life person.
Fr. Frank Pavone, Nat’l. Director, Priests for Life; Pres., Nat’l Pro-life Religious Council
I have known Fr. Spitzer, Camille Pauley, and the work of Healing the Culture for years. This training program is one of the clearest and most powerful ways to help people understand how we got into the mess we call the culture of death, and what we need to do to get out of it.
United States Senator Rick Santorum, Pennsylvania
Healing the Culture…has the potential to move even the most wounded hearts to conversion.
Byron Calhoun, MD, FACOG,FACS,MBA, Department of Ob/Gyn, West Virginia University
Healing the Culture’s educational curriculum is an incredibly powerful tool for changing the way people think. Their "Life Principles" program underlines the intelligence and thoughtful approach of the pro-life movement.
Peggy Hartshorn, President, Heartbeat International
Healing the Culture provides a new and fresh way of understanding and presenting the pro-life message, a way that is especially pertinent to the 21st century. Heartbeat uses their innovative approach in hundreds of our pregnancy centers to reach college students…. I wholeheartedly recommend Healing the Culture’s conference – it is sure to be intellectually stimulating, practical, and creative in its teaching and training.
Most Reverend William S. Skylstad, Bishop of Spokane
Healing the Culture serves a tremendous need of building up relationships with a profound sensitivity to the dignity of every person. Healing the Culture fosters a culture of life so integral and necessary to the well being of the common good.
Dan Kennedy, CEO Human Life of Washington
If you want to advance your pro-life mission, then attending a Healing the Culture presentation is a must. The remedy for treating the perverse symptoms of the culture of death, i.e. abortion, embryonic stem cell research, assisted suicide, is to fully understand the underlying disease. The Life Principles' penetrating diagnoses equips you to effectively change hearts and minds. You will find it both enlightening and enjoyable.
Kristan Hawkins, Executive Director, Students for Life of America
Thank you for providing the resources needed so that students and people of all ages may begin to change hearts and minds in our wounded society. I fully support Healing the Culture!
Mark Brumley, President, Ignatius Press
How else to overcome a culture of death than to undertake the work of the Healing the Culture Conference? This is a "must" for anyone serious about bringing "Life Principles" to bear on our society.
John C. Willke, M.D., President, Life Issues Institute
It is a pleasure to endorse this conference. Anything Father Spitzer does is bound to be worthwhile.
J. Fraser Field, Managing Editor, Catholic Education Resource Center
Healing the Culture is opening avenues of engagement and fruitful dialogue on the life issues, just at a time when political and cultural polarization has shut down almost all respectful discourse. Healing the Culture is showing us the way forward.
Pavel Reid, Dir. of Young Adult Ministries, Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA
If you are a pro-life leader, you need to learn the Life Principles! No one does a better job of presenting the reasons for being pro-life than Fr. Spitzer and Camille De Blasi Pauley – and of teaching you how to present these reasons to audiences both receptive and challenging. You will not be sorry to have attended this conference.
Theresa Matter, Executive Director, National Campus Life Network, Toronto
Healing the Culture is an essential component to the pro-life movement. I encourage all who can, to make attending this conference a priority.
Marie Harkins, Founder and President, Youth for Life
I have witnessed, firsthand, the powerful impact Healing the Culture has had on today’s youth. Their Life Principles program is one of the most valuable pro-life resources I have ever come across.
Nellie Gray, March for Life
We received unusually favorable comments about the high quality of this program. Pro-lifers in your audience enthusiastically praised the professional presentation of a broad range of both basic and fresh information they could use in their own pro-life work.
Most Reverend Elden Francis Curtiss, Archbishop of Omaha
Healing the Culture is at the forefront of organizations working to promote a culture of life. Their pro-life curriculum has the potential to transform many hearts with a message that is gentle, inviting, logically appealing, and unwavering in its defense of the sanctity of all human life. I wholeheartedly recommend this important organization and its excellent programs.
Most Reverend Fabian W. Bruskewitz, Bishop of Lincoln
I commend Healing the Culture for the exceptional work it is doing to defend the intrinsic dignity of every human person. I encourage pastors and religious educators everywhere to make use of this tremendous resource.

You're trailblazing powerful new paths for Christ into the heart of the culture. Be certain of my prayers for your continued growth and success.

A new approach to the pro-life debate... one of the best talks that I have heard in a long time.

Thank you for standing strong for good values.
State Representative Bob Brechtel, Wyoming
Healing the Culture has become a valuable resource to quote from as we dialogue to improve Wyoming State policy.
Dr. Tom Curran, Founder and Director, Trinity Formation Resources
As someone who teaches faith and morality in public presentations and on my radio program, I am keenly aware of the great need for intelligent, rational arguments for pro-life ethics. I have seen Camille Pauley's passionate, convicting presentation of the "Life Principles" program developed by Fr. Robert Spitzer. This program is making a dynamic contribution to the formation of a culture of life. It reaches real people right where they're at.
Sister Sharon Park, Executive Director, Washington State Catholic Conference
To change minds and hearts so that our culture honors and values all human life from conception to natural death, we must reach out to our next-door neighbors as well as to those who influence the culture. Inspired by our beliefs, we must persuade with arguments that are rational, sophisticated, and accessible. Healing the Culture's conference will provide foundational "Life Principles" to inspire and guide us.
Matt and Georgene Ulrich, Directors of Helper's of God's Precious Infants and Pro-Life Washington
Thank you for your efforts in building a "culture of LIFE."
