Talk Highlights The 16th Human Life International (HLI) Asia Pacific Congress (ASPAC) on Faith, Life and Family
THE CULTURE OF DEATH 1 The Silent Holocaust “Never again” – was the cry at the liberation of the death camps at the end of the Second World War. Yet around the world the unborn child is killed by the thousands every year through abortion and the killing is growing with greater pervasiveness and intensity. Find out what the media does not reveal about this silent holocaust. 2 Sterilizing Women Through all of recorded history, the paramount goal of the medical profession has been to repair the body and restore organ systems to their normal levels of healthy function with one exception. In the name of women’s right and women’s lib, millions of women fall prey to the only “medical procedures” and other means that are intended to destroy or inhibit healthy organs in the female reproductive systems. This Congress aims at exposing the worldwide agenda of robbing women of their inherent gift of being woman and equipping you to tell the truth.
THE CULTURE OF LIFE 3 Humane Vitae The prophetic words of Pope Paul VI written forty years ago in the most “controversial” but beautiful encyclical, Humanae Vitae, bears a great treasure that we absolutely have to understand.

Join us in this Congress and experience the transcendent beauty of the Church’s vision of marriage, family and human life! 4 Theology of the Body Divorce, cohabitation, contraception, abortion, premarital sex, homosexual “marriage” – The world is in the midst of a profound sexual crisis.

RE-ENFORCING THE CULTURE OF LIFE 7 The Church Vs the World – Frozen Embryos “Your eyes beheld my unformed substance”- With the ongoing impeded pace of development of modern techniques of artificial fertilization and those connected with the freezing of human embryos which is increasing at an alarming rate, a range of difficult moral issues emerged. These moral concerns will be addressed according to the Church’s teachings as against what the world tells us. 8 “You are wonderfully and beautifully made...” Natural Fertility Awareness - Ongoing scientific researches are revealing more and more the beauty of the inbuilt mechanisms in the woman’s body that tell her when she is fertile and when she is not. This intricate handiwork of God demands respect, understanding and cooperation with God in His plan for Marriage and family. In this Congress you will be enlightened and empowered more to build stronger marriages and hence stronger families.
