“MAKE THE CASE WITH”

???????????????????????????????????????

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TELL THE LEGISLATORS . . . GOD SAYS THIS.

THEY COMPLY, OR OUT OF THE CHURCH FORCABLY, IMMEDIATELY AND WHOLESALE at whatever risk to their Salvation.

WHAT’S THIS ‘POLITICING’ to gain favor of man in man’s arena man’s ways—the ways of the flesh—vs insisting that legislators submit to a higher law and THE AUTHORITY OF ALMIGHTY GOD.

Otherwise, the religious hierarchy is just turning itself into yet another lobbying group on a par with those lobbying for free condoms.

CRAZY!

And, to my mind, rather UNBiblical.

Give the legislators XX days to forcefully legislate PREVENTION OF A SINGLE ADDITIONAL INFANT’S MURDER

OR ELSE!

NO DISCUSSION.

NO LOBBYING.

NO POLITICING.

NO INTELLECTUAL GAMES between religious vs secular POLITICIANS!

Sheesh.

This is not the RC’s standing Biblically tall, imho.

Asked what the church should do about Catholic legislators who support FOCA, Niederauer said that the bishops agree on the diagnosis – that such a vote amounts to cooperation in evil – but may not be able to reach a common policy on the hot-button question of whether to deny communion to pro-choice politicians.

They know what needs to be done. The only question is whether they have the courage to do it.

If the GOP can not hold the remaining seats that are still unaccounted for could any Dem be counted on to assist in blocking this; Pryor or Byrd??

Sadly, I’m certain that the help would need to come from outside the Catholic faith. Catholic senators with Democrat affiliation could not be counted on and should be publicly excommunicated from the Church should this Amendment pass.

Pelousey to bishop:”I’ve considered your position and think you are wrong. Abortion is a complex issue, and my actions regarding abortion are perfectly compatable with Church teaching, and I will continue to tell this to anybody that will listen. And I think your hat looks stupid. Now gimme my wafer.”

Wasn’t there supposed to be a meeting were the bishop was going to sit down with the madame speaker? Does anybody know if that happened?

"But with regard to Holy Communion, it is left up to the pastoral sensitivity and responsibility of individual bishops to interact with those office-holders in their own diocese." "As person differs from person,” Niederauer said, “perhaps the best approach may be one thing for one person, another for another.”

Comments, anyone?

Niederauer, huh?

This thread should have been posted to the News/Activism forum where it would receive greater attention.

Excellency:

Grow a spine or one will be imported for you from Rome. The time for "not being able to reach a consensus" on disciplinary measures is past. Faithful Catholics are going to be subjected to real persecution for standing up for life. Defend them.

Thank you.

The Bishop should have opposed Nancy Pelosi and her ilk earlier and more often. Perhaps a public excommunication would be in order. That would send a message to all Catholics that our church doctrine really means something.
