Liberalism is killing the Church, but will not win.

I was watching a news program which had a panel discussing the Notre Dame U/President Obama debacle. Included was a Catholic priest. The priest defended Obama, and spewed the same old liberal non-sense of how Obama wants to reduce the number of abortions. Obviously this priest has not looked at Obama's extreme pro-abortion record, an agenda so radical he voted against the Induced Infant Liability Act in 2002, a law that would medically and legally protect babies born from botches abortions. That is the "change we can believe in"?

As was the case for slavery, the Church is for the recognition that the unborn are an entire class of human beings, a class denied that recognition from the Supreme Court and political elite. Thus, the Church goes much further than the reduction of violence done to unborn persons, but the elimination of that violence. Getting back to the panel: during the course of the discussion an evangelical, not the priest, pointed out that the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops released a document entitled "Catholics in Political Life" which clearly states, "Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions." Smirking, the priest seemed more or less indifferent. In a way I am not surprised. After all, Obama obtained most of the Catholic vote, which is nothing less than a scandal and a disgrace to the Church those American Catholics are supposed to represent.

Now, more than ever, Catholics must stand up for the most vulnerble among us which is the unborn persons in the womb. What should be a sanctuary and place for growth, has become a battleground for their survival. Therefore, these precious ones need our voice and advocacy, not our indifference. For those of you who are 'pro-choice', let me pose a question: "Choose what?" If you are honest and agree with science, you will answer "choose the destruction of an entire class of human beings". If you are against unjust wars and the killing of cilvilians in battle, should you not be that much more against the killing of the unborn person? If you believe in protecting the environment from unnatural destruction, shouldn't you also believe in protecting the womb from the unnatural procedure that is abortion? If you are a Catholic you're answer to both these questions must be a firm and resounding "yes".

Hi,
As Bishop Tobin says: "...it still seems to me that if the President’s anti-life actions don’t stir up moral outrage in you, nothing will; if they don’t offend your conscience, you need a conscience transplant, my friend.

Great post.
