raised eyebrows with his more moderate views on abortion and birth control... A bad example for all Catholics in public life. Hope and pray that he is not in Hell.

After he was forced to step down by Pope John Paul II,
Barney Frank was elected to his seat.
To: Quiet Man Jr.
I admire the way in which this man lived out his beliefs, but I admire even more the untold number of people who have lived out their beliefs by taking up arms and defending our country. For every one of these who stand up and preach appeasement and pacifism there are thousands and thousands who have made the ultimate sacrifice to afford them opportunity to live the life they choose.
I have to wonder if this man could drive by a national cemetery and view the rows and rows of crosses, each marking the grave of someone who disagreed with him but fought for his rights, without feeling at least a twinge of respect for those buried there.

He took the easy emotional and weak road - nothing to admire.

After he was forced to step down by Pope John Paul II, Barney Frank was elected to his seat. Put that down under the 'be careful what you wish for' category.

I hope he is enjoying having Saddam Hussein as a roommate.

re: nothing to admire
I admire him for following his conscience. I think he seriously misunderstood the words of Jesus, but he stuck to his guns and I admire that in someone.
To: calcowgirl
Nothing to admire. A pernicious underminer.
Drinan will not be missed.

Another reason not to regret my status as an ex-Catholic.

A committed liberal anti-war guy who was forced out of politics by the Pope. He ordered priests, monks and nuns to leave government offices. Then guess who replaced him in Congress?
Barney Frank took over his seat. Well, that's the way it happened.

I don't know much about this man, I'm in Florida. Was he pro-abortion? I just assumed as a priest that he would be pro-life.

Excerpt: http://www.catholicculture.org/docs/doc_view.cfm?recnum=1351
From 1971-1981, Fr. Drinan, often wearing his Roman collar, stood up in the House of Representatives and defended the legalized destruction of preborn children. According to writer and historian James Hitchcock, soon after the infamous decision of Roe v. wade, Drinan wrote a public defense of the decision, recognizing that it had flaws but finding it on the whole a beneficial judgment.
He then proceeded, over the next several years, to compile an almost perfect pro-abortion voting record in Congress, often speaking passionately about a woman's "constitutional right" to abort, even while stating that this right went completely contrary to his own conscience. (snip)
