No Catholic asked for the insolent opinion of the Rev. Mr. Barry Lynn (Unitarian or Congregationalist?) and his anti-Catholic organization of bigots. The original name of the group was Protestants and other Americans for Separation of Church and State, when it was run by Paul Blanshard and chummy with the notorious Madeline Murray O'Hair. The very name was a slur against Protestants. The organization originated in the early Cold War as a reaction against Catholic anti-communism and as a reaction of anti-Catholics, many not at all Protestant, but atheist, agnostic and secular humanist who wanted to have a platform to attack anti-communist cardinals such as Francis Cardinal Spellman of New York, Richard Cardinal Cushing of Boston and James Cardinal McIntyre of Los Angeles.
As for Obey, we know where his heart lies. He may have been baptized Catholic but his loyalty is with the baby-killing Demonrats. Congressman Obey, you are what you vote for. What you vote for, Mr. Obey, is not Catholic and neither are you.
May every Catholic bishop in this country do as Bishop Burke has done. May every other Christian leader worthy of the name do likewise. Next stop for Archbishop-designate Burke is St. Louis. Next in line of desireable major changes in the Roman Catholic Church in the United States would be the rapid replacement of Roger Cardinal Mahoney in Los Angeles by an actual Catholic like Burke.

Thank you for the information contained in the first paragraph of your reply.`
I am looking for articles about Protestant leaders condemning the stance of pro abortion politicians.
"Protestant" is a big umbrella and covers many different denominations and as such, leaders don't have a way to tell Protestant politicains to align themselves with Church teachings.
If you have any links to articles where Protestant leaders are condemning pro abortionist politicians. I would appreciate them. Thanks, Holly

MILWAUKEE -- A Roman Catholic bishop who waded into politics with...
Very difficult to proceed through the article when the first line is as spurious as this. The good bishop is performing his appointed duty; that's not politics!

If only the German Bishops had been this courageous 70 years ago.
The tragic truth is that there are little Auschwitzes spread across this great nation. And, they have killed more people than all the Nazi concentration camps combined.
We call it womens rights. But, since when is it moral to bestow the right to a woman or a man to kill another human?
