"Michigan Catholics to get DVD explaining stem-cell research issue" - CNS

CNS reports:

To clear up confusion about stem-cell research, the Michigan Catholic Conference has launched a statewide educational program to explain the Catholic Church's teaching on human life, the church's support for adult stem-cell research and its opposition to embryonic stem-cell research.

As part of the program every registered Catholic home in Michigan will soon be receiving a DVD and other information in the mail.

On Oct. 1, the conference began mailing digital video discs, along with a letter signed jointly by Michigan diocesan bishops and a brochure, to 504,000 Catholic homes in the state.

This seems like an excellent, proactive way to keep the faithful informed. I just attended a Theology on Tap session last night on the topic of stem cell research and it's clear that many folks have still not heard the Church's "good news" regarding ethical forms of SCR.
