Even my fellow church members have complained about the liberal feminists that roam around our church. A lot of them work as the church secretary and we feel pretty sure when ever we send pro life material to the Priest to put into the church the fire breathing dragon lady tosses it into the thrash before the Priest ever sees it.

We had an outspoken abortion supporter, a black woman who was a highly-placed University administrator at ETSU, who was a Eucharistic Minister at my parish.

When she told me to my face that she supported abortion (and that I was a racist for opposing her, Good God!) I went to my pastor, determined to get her removed as EM. Choosing my words carefully,I said: "Father, should a Eucharistic Minister advocate mortal sin?"

He looked startled. "No!"

"Well then, should an open, public advocate of mortal sin be a Eucharistic Minister?"

A tiny bit hesitantly: "No..." "Well, here's what L. said in a discussion with some students at the lunch after the Campus Ministry Mass. Then I asked her about it and she sent me this email (I had a print-out.)

(I would have had a problem if this was some kind of hearsay gossip, personal sniping and detraction. But this was what Canon Law calls "manifest" and "grave.")

I didn't push it. I just left it in his hands.

It's not my business to know what passed between them after that, but I will say this. (1) I never heard she was dismissed as EM, BUT I never saw her serving as EM again. (2) I did happen to see her thereafter coming out of the Confession room, and looking very serious. And (3) Months later, Father had a dedication ceremony for a pro-life memorial statue that's on our parish grounds, and he had L. read Psalm 139, you know the part I'm talking about.

So I think it's likely that he approached her about it quietly, she repented or was on the road to repentance quietly, and that's just what should have happened, thanks be to God.
