Pro-Life Groups in Massachusetts Demand Archbishop Stop Publicly Betraying Pro-Life Principles
Mass Resistance ^

Message from Catholics to Archbishop: “Stop the Betrayals.” Obey your own rules! Urging all pro-lifers (including non-Catholics) to sign their online statement.

Pro-life leaders in Massachusetts have decided they can’t stay silent any longer.

A coalition of outraged Catholic pro-life organizations along with major Catholic and non-Catholic activists has issued a public statement calling upon Cardinal Sean O’Malley, the Archbishop of Boston, and the other Catholic bishops of Massachusetts, to stop their blatant public betrayals of the pro-life movement.

The statement cites nineteen blatant violations of official Catholic pro-life policy in the last three years, involving Catholic Bishops in Massachusetts.

The statement was written by a committee led by Bill Cotter, president of Boston’s Operation Rescue, and C.J. Doyle of the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts, along with pro-life activists Brendan O’Connell, Robert Joyce, Brian Camenker of MassResistance, and others. It was released to the public on Wednesday, Sept. 13. The online version for the public to sign was posted soon after.

This may be the first time in the United States that lay Catholics (and pro-life allies) have publicly confronted the Bishops for their actions that clearly contradict official Catholic teaching and policy. But serious Catholics have been deeply troubled and distraught over this for years.

And the March for Life invites the worst betrayers to preach at the Vigil Mass for Life each January. It’s always O’Malley, Wuerl, Dolan, etc. And these pro-abortion, pro-sodomy traitors always give a rip-roaring helping of raw, red meat to the mostly very youthful crowd, most of whom are too young to know about these prelates’ history of snuggling with pro-aborts.
