Pro-Abortion Catholic Feminist/Lesbian to Speak at Jesuit-Run Retreat House at VOTF Meeting (Take Action)

 

A "Catholic" Jesuit Retreat House invites a pro-abortion lesbian to speak at an event.  What next?  I'm glad some Bishops won't put up with apostates. Some of the priests at Loyola actually conduct Pagan Zen retreats in Jersey City!

Coleus, you jumped right on this. Good work. I wish I had that kind of success with the Diocese of Cleveland.

[Clemenza]

With the Jebbies, this doesn't surprise me.

How tragic... the Jesuit retreat house does that here too :( It's the only way they can stay open they claim.

[AAABEST]

You got a link? I'm thinking about putting this on the angelqueen forum.

Voice of the Faithful. Faithful to what? The heretic moved her meeting to a Lutheran church with a woman pastor and claims to be delighted with it. So stay there!

These people are not Catholics - they just play them on TV.

More signs that the tide is turning.

Wahoo. It's starting.

Angela Bonavoglia , a self-de­scribed "itinerant Catholic," was scheduled to speak tonight to a lo­cal branch of the lay group Voice of the Faithful at the Jesuit Loyola Retreat in Morristown. But at the last minute, the diocese asked the Jesuits there to "disinvite" Bonavoglia, saying that her views oppose church doctrine, according to a diocesan spokeswoman.

This is reminiscent of Bishop D'Arcy of Fort Wayne, who waited until the day before a college commencement to decline an invitation to receive an award due to a speaker who had been invited.

No problem with disinviting speakers. But, as Catholics, we should learn some common courtesy and not use the proximity of the occasion to embarrass by grandstanding.

Let's disinvite the speakers when we first learn of these situations.

Bonavoglia said in a tele­phone conversation on Tues­day that her views are widely represented in the Catholic re­form movement and that shut­ting her out was shutting a whole group of Catholics out.

Yes that's right, you're being shut out.

Diocese of Paterson Bishop Arthur J. Serratelli has banned a writer who supports abortion rights and female ordination from speaking to a lay Catholic group on church property.

Excellent!

[PLK]

"It has a woman pastor, which delights me to no end," she said.

So do a number of sects, go join one: there's the Lutherans, the Methodists, the Baptists, the Episcopalian's, and a whole bunch of others. They all either are embracing abortions and homosex, or about to. They would LOVE to have you.

[NYer]

The ban marks the first time a Paterson bishop has specifically in-terfered with a meeting planned by Voice of the Faithful.

It's the Ratz effect .... and it's contagious. How many bishops went along as a form of appeasement. Now they recognize their actions are being 'noticed'.

[sport]

Good!

[NYer]

Voice of the Faithful leaders, who are not uniformly for abortion rights, said they invit-ed Bonavoglia to speak be-cause she has written positive-ly about their group.

Dissenters love their own.

They said she was not going to speak only about abortion but was planning to focus more broadly on women in the church.

Which 'church role' do you suppose Bonavoglia envisions for women?

OR

[Thorin]

Shouldn't they call themselves "Voice of the Faithless" instead?

"...she argued that the church's strict anti-abortion and anti-contraception stances have especially hurt women in the developing world."

Would abortion really help or hurt women in "developing countries"? We know that 93% of women regret their abortion. We also know that there is a strong correlation between chemical contraception and abortion (in that order). Additionally, studies indicate that a woman who's had an abortion is 50% more likely to get breast cancer, and the percentage grows with multiple abortions. Why would anyone want to bring regret, pain and disease to "developing countries" as if it will help them, yet Ms. Supposed Catholic says the Church is actually hurting women by not providing abortion/chemical contraception. All this in support of her pro-abortion, pro-promiscuity agenda.

Abortion is legal in the US at any time during a woman's pregnancy, for any reason, by any means, even half way through the birth canal at abortuaries with no supervision, no rules of conduct, and no liability. Now who's hurting women? Yet, we as a society permit the atrocity of abortion to continue.

Catholics everywhere should take a stand for life; take a stand for God's precious infants who have no voice, and suffer and die without even the light of day.

Chemical contraception and abortion are pure evil. We shamelessly fail to protect 4,000+ of God's precious infants daily in the US who are killed by abortion. Wake-up Catholics!! Think about it and do some research, abortion and chemical contraception strikes at the very heart of our Church, and we need YOUR conversion first.

I know the Bishops are starting to realize "there's a new sheriff in town" and his name is Benedict XVI!
