Albany, NY (LifeNews.com) -- In an act that is sure to generate guffaws from the pro-life community, a group of pro-abortion clergy in Schenectady held a ceremony at a local abortion business to bless it and call it "sacred ground." Religious officials who are pro-life call the ceremony sacrilegious by blessing a place that kills the life God creates.

I wonder how well their ‘blessing’ is gonna fly when they explain their actions before the Almighty on Judgement Day?

It is worth noting that the lead clergy member dedicating the abortuary is a United Church of Christ minister. This denomination is so apostate it almost makes the primary Episcopalian, Presbyterian, and Methodist denominations look orthodox. It is worth noting that Barack Obama attends a United Church of Christ congregation in Chicago whose pastor has made racist, anti-white statements.

Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

To invoke the name of God in blessing the unspeakably horrific is just unimagineable. I know that I must pray for the redemption of the souls of these “clergy” people, but it ain’t gonna be easy.

This whole sordid blasphemy, though, does show that these culture of death forces know that they have lost and find it necessary to try to hide under the cover of some phony “spirituality”. All their various lies and secular tricks have been exposed so they have to try this.

Read the article ... the "clergy" in question are a singularly unimpressive lot. They include a hyphenated female of unspecified denomination.

I think they're worshiping molech, or ba'al, or tlaloc, or some such demon.

Phillips said the abortion business was "sacred ground where women are treated with dignity, supported in their role as moral decision-makers ... sacred ground where the violent voices of hatred and oppression are quelled."

This is flat out sick. The thinking here is a a violent distortion of what the abortion process is -- ending a life. As I have stated before, I am not a very religious person, having a skeptical view of most organized religion, however, this is a cult-like distortion of any rational view of life processes. Without a reverence for life, we lose one of the most important elements of Western Civilization.

Pro-abortion clergy????

No such thing.

You can be pro-abortion. Or you can be Clergy. You can’t be both.

I did hear he was asking all the bishops to beef up the number of exorcists.
