An abortion advocacy organization called “Catholics for Choice” (CFC) placed deceptive full-page newspaper ads in multiple cities on September 12 calling for taxpayer funding of abortion in the name of the Catholic faith.
As the U.S. Catholic bishops have stated for many years, the use of the name ‘Catholic’ as a platform to promote the taking of innocent human life is offensive not only to Catholics, but to all who expect honesty and forthrightness in public discourse.
CFC is not affiliated with the Catholic Church in any way. It has no membership, and clearly does not speak for the faithful. It is funded by powerful private foundations to promote abortion as a method of population control.
The organization rejects and distorts Catholic social teaching — and actually attacks its foundation. As Pope Francis said this summer to leaders in Poland, “Life must always be welcomed and protected…from conception to natural death. All of us are called to respect life and care for it.”
CFC’s extreme ads promote abortion as if it were a social good. But abortion kills the most defenseless among us, harms women, and tears at the heart of families. Pushing for public funding would force all taxpaying Americans to be complicit in the violence of abortion and an industry that puts profit above the well-being of women and children.
According to a July 2016 poll conducted by the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, 62 percent of Americans oppose taxpayer funding of abortion, including 45 percent of those who say they are pro-choice.
Finally, the CFC pits the needs of pregnant women against those of their unborn children. This is a false choice. Catholics and all people of good will are called to love them both. Consider supporting local pregnancy help centers, which do incredible work caring for mothers and children alike in a manner consistent with true social justice and mercy.
Why do these rash of anti-abortion decisions and comments come across extremely disingenuous?
Oh that’s right...because pro-abortion politicians are still allowed to receive communion and call themselves Catholic.
Actions speak louder than words.
Well good Cardinal Dolan but you should be warning and telling them and their priest they are not to receive Communion while they are in this state of ERROR/Sin, They Must Repent, Refute their Error in Public, do Penance, and then they can return to Full Communion with the Church and receive the Holy Eucharist!
That is Your responsibility Cardinal Dolan! Know this while you are not doing your Duty to the Souls of those Lost sheep, they will weight heavy upon Yours!
Know this:
Return to God, a Moral people and Christendom! Anything Else if for Not! When you see the reunification of Christians into the One True Faith the Holy and Apostolic Catholic Church the End to the Darkness will be Assured... Until then PRAY for All the Lost Souls!
God Bless
Two cheers for the Cardinal Archbishop of New York. He will get three when he puts these anti-Catholic 5th columnists under some form of interdict until they repent.
Well, your Eminence, when are you going to excommunicate them: Pelosi, Biden, Kerry and my disgusting “Representative,” Mike Doyle (D)PA-14?
Good to see Dolan coming out on the right side on an issue, for once.
And how about Tim Kaine?
Another Soros Evil Emperor conspiracy.
It’s all about the Benjamins. RCINC is the oldest, most profitable multinational corporation on the planet

Catholics will forgive your ignorance, but probably will have a more difficult time forgiving your hatred...
Yes ... finally.
Keep in mind that the Vatican, with no military and a negligible economy, has fungible assets worth about a billion dollars, a mere drop in the bucket compared to, say, Harvard University’s $27 billion endowment.
Sorry to deflate anybody' fantasies about awesome Vatican wealth.
Yet my point is still True, there are so called “Catholics” that do support abortion and are NOT being Called out case in point nancy pelosi, joe biden, numerous others... So until Cardinal Dolan and others offices in the Church Start to do their duty their souls are in Danger as I have said.
Mike Church address this well on his shows and in this blerb on the subject just recently.
“No, Reader, You CANNOT Support Hillary AND Be A Roman Catholic – I have previously written of the mortally sinful act of giving your endorsement to the most diabolical, pro-abortion, political candidate in ‘Murican history. Yet again, Rod Dreher cannot find the catechetical spine to inform his “Reader” of his grave error that undeniably promotes abd lengthens the reign of the Cult of Death. From Dreher’s blog: “I hate everything about this election. I feel like a peasant in the pre-Constantinian Roman empire, having no hope that the emperor will be Christian, and at best praying that the new emperor won’t be a crazy Nero who appoints a horse to the Senate and sends us to the lions. Thus I will probably vote for Hillary with my nose held, because in the end, I think she’s less likely to void the constitution and impose martial law or start WW3.” Then Dreher’s response when asked by the Reader, what he should do:
“I don’t know.”
Well, I do, Rod and the question is an easy one to answer for a Catholic: walk away from your heretical threat to assist the woman who believes a human life is not a creature of God until Roe vs Wade and “our Constitution” says it is. Full stop, cease and desist and beg the Holy Ghost or the Communion of Saints for wisdom on a not-sinful, Catholic course of action. Nota bene: the Reader and the blogger both proceed from the erroneous notion that there are but two choices, served up as an either or but you must choose edict. Read my response to the last alleged “Catholic” claiming to be Catholic, pro-life and pr-Hillary.”

But they have the resources to hire 500$/hr attorneys to defend RCINC when they are guilty of protecting pedophiles who destroyed the lives of then 11-13 year old boys again and again and again and again. They have the resources to bury those pedophiles in their organization.
The only reasons RCINC has not condemned pro abortion politicians are 1)to protect their tax status 2) these same politicians drop serious coin into their collection baskets (think Kennedy clan)
Your allegation on Kennedy donations is interesting. Can you tell me who? When? How much?
A friend (now deceased) who was once a tutor to a bunch of Kennedy kids in Hyannisport, said the whole clan was pretty tight-fisted with their money. I find it unlikely that they were paying out flows of revenue to the Catholic Church.
That's why I'm interested in your evidence, if you have any.
