amazing how when one leader makes a principled stand, others follow. i hope to see much more of this in the future, on this and many other important issues!
Thank goodness they’re finally calling Komen out for what they are - enablers of Big Murder
It is about time the Bishops of the Catholic Church started speaking out. It is past time for Catholics and for conservative politicians at every level to start speaking out forcefully for religious and conservative principals.
It is great to hear about this Bishop and elected officials like Congressman West. Also, Archbishops like Dolan and Chaput and Gomez. It is time for all of us to stand up and shout, “We are mad as hell, and we are not going to take it anymore!”
