###"Three Sundays ago was "Respect Life" Sunday. Our priest managed to avoid mentioning both abortion and euthanasia in his 10 minute oration. Some effort in English or Latin!"###

Your priest is probably afraid to lose parishioners?

I complained to my local pastor about teenagers receiving the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity with chewing gum in their mouths. His response was that he did not want to have them turn away or not come to Church. Finally, the Parochial Vicar on leave here for 3 years (Nigeria)mentioned it at one his masses.

The same priest has given homilies about abortion and euthanasia while the pastor has not covered that ground.

The pastor also mentioned receiving several letters criticizing his discussion on gay marriage. I have not heard anything thing, since.

I head up an interdenominational pro life group and the support from the parishioners has been terrible. Our group would be dead if we did not have the Evangelicals.

We have several Catholic MDs and their families and you could not get them within 1000 yards of one of our meetings.

If you want to hear pro life, euthanasia, gay rights etc. watch EWTN. Their Masses tell it like it is.

You've hit the nail on the head. Thank the Lord for Mother Angelica!

The Catholic Church has largely dropped the ball on the pro-life issues. I don't care how empty the churches may get, the truth must be told at all times.
