There are a few dioceses out there that have stopped shocking me a while back.

Since Actions Speak Louder than Words, the Diocese of Cleveland is now coming out in favor of Abortion. Isn't it nice when a Moral Clarity Moment (MCM) comes along?

This is nothing new for the Diocese of Clevelad:

CLEVELAND CATHOLIC DIOCESE DONATED $30,000 TO GROUP WITH TIES TO N.A.R.A.L.

??? pingout.

[RamingtonStall]

By their Actions they have spoken their position.

Sing songs of Love on Sunday (i.e. "They will know we are Christians by our love.....") and support NARAL and pro-Abortion Politicians on Monday!

And the Catholic Church wonders why they have only Token Moral Authority anymore. Sigh......

Tom Allio as quoted in the San Francisco Chronicle shortly before the election:

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2004/10/25/MNGED9FNH21.DTL



Tom Allio, the director of social action for the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland, was involved in the anti-poverty bus tour several weeks ago, and he would seem to have an easy sell, given that Cleveland has the highest poverty rate of any big city in the country and a punishing unemployment rate of about 12 percent.

Not so. For at least some on the religious right, anti-poverty efforts are seen as a diversion from the more urgent tasks of preventing same-sex marriages and abortions.

"I think we're clearly playing catch-up," said Allio. "The right-wing groups are so well funded and mobilized. But I don't take the position that it's too little too late. The P-word (poverty) has barely been mentioned in this campaign, and I just think we have to get it on the agenda."

He said it was likely to be a long-range effort, and the polls suggest he is right

that Cleveland has the highest poverty rate of any big city in the country and a punishing unemployment rate of about 12 percent.

Maybe, that is because Cleveland always elects dems. The more stupid the better. Hence, the invite to Sherrod Brown. He's a nut job. He may be from my congressional district but he only represents the unions.

"What Should be Done to End the Genocide in Darfur?"

Someone should go to this and ask Congressman Brown and the Cleveland Diocese what should be done to end the genocide in America.

[RamingtonStall]

Probably the only way to embarrass them is to fully comply and follow their leadership.

We should start claiming that We are Catholic, and in keeping with the Catholic Arch Diocese of Cleveland, we are avowed Baby Killers. Oops, I mean Pro Abortioners.

We Can't be "Smorgasborg Catholics", so we must follow them where they are leading us. Let's do it with Vigor.

Catholics for Partial Birth Abortion!
