St. Thomas More in a letter to his daughter, Meg:

"Although I know well, Margaret, that because of my past wickedness I deserve to be abandoned by God, I cannot but trust in his merciful goodness. His grace has strengthened me until now and made me content to lose goods, land, and life as well, rather than to swear against my conscience."

Text of letter can be found here.

When a leader says one thing but does another, that is call hypocracy.

I'm not one to harp on misspellings, but it's hypocrisy.

But hypocracy is intriguing. Would that be a form of government run by pinheads?

Well, perhaps no so incorrect after all.

no=not... sheesh!

"I don't often agree with Mr. Buchanan, but he is right on target with this one.".

Yes. I usually agree with Buchanan. He does not let election politics trump pro-life.

When the rabid segregationist Leander Perez of Plaquemine Parish persisted, Archbishop Rummel excommunicated him and the head of the Citizens Council of Louisiana for "continuing to provoke the devoted people of this venerable archdiocese to disobedience or rebellion in the matter of opening our schools to all Catholic children."

AND...

Leander Perez repented.

"St. Thomas More became a martyr for his beliefs.
St. McCarrick???"

Dream on. McCarrick brings to mind St Chrysostom...
"The floors of hell are paved with the skulls of bad bishops".
And now for the real scandal:
Who elevated McCarrick to the sacred college of cardinals?

[Sergio]

In much the same way that I wish there were more conservative, constitutionalists in the Supreme and Federal courts, I wish we had more Bishops like Archbishop Joseph Rummel in the Catholic Church. We could really use them.

Best Regards

<< I believe life does begin at conception." So said John Kerry last week in Iowa.

Remarkable. If Kerry believes life begins at conception, he must concede that each time he has voted to fund abortions, he has voted to fund the killing of human beings. And voting to uphold Clinton's veto of the partial-birth abortion ban, Kerry voted against sparing tiny human beings from an excruciating form of execution. >>

Wrong, Pat.

And shame on you for falling for such a ploy.

Kerry doesn't accept the irrefutable scientific FACT that life begins at conception, just -- in typical "DemocRAT" worm rat fink bastard mode -- states his "belief." His feelings. And those of his "faith."

Which he is most certainly not about to presume to shove down our throats.

The low-life cunning bastard.

"Last Christmas, McCarrick showed American Catholics how supine he was when he popped up on the Tim Russert show. He spent the show giggling with pro-death "Catholic" journalist Russert, pro-death "Catholic" politician Rudy Giuliani, and pro-death Methodist First Lady Laura Bush."

Well said. But one cannot get on the convention platform of either party if he is a vocal pro-life speaker.

>>>>Buchannan gets it right again!!!<<<<<<

Pat is on target here, as he usually is. Of course, Pat is often vilified, but that's to be expected: he is a patriot who is loyal to this country alone, and a faithful Christian in a society increasingly given over to atheistic hedonism.

How on earth did the Vatican not know that there were big problems with McCarrick before elevating him to his current position in the hierarchy?

Who is advising the Vatican on U.S. appointments to the hierarchy? The usual suspects?

Let's face it, McCarrick, Egan, Mahony, Keeler and the other phonies were appointed by someone in Rome. There is a larger problem to this whole process.

Are ALL the liberal dissenters on the abortion issue just homos? Is sodomy now costing the church a lot more than just money (but innocent lives)?

"I'm now going to get flamed. :-) "

Not by me your not. I agree with you. I'm putting on my flame proof suit now.

How on earth did the Vatican not know that there were big problems with McCarrick before elevating him to his current position in the hierarchy?

Orthodox Catholic laity travelled to Rome at their own expense and begged the Pope to NOT elevate McCarrick because of his known problems. The Vatican listened to Bernardin's boys instead.
