"Bishops in other centuries faced death. We face bad press. Whining letters from parishioners. Perhaps losing our tax exempt status. I turned to a group of bishops after one election and asked them, 'Why were you silent?' I said, 'Your tax-exempt status be damned if it keeps you from saying the words of God'."

Very true.

Interesting post. The RC Church and other Christians as well will have to get militant. We may have to become “fists in the air” screamers and yellers-—something most of us normally despise (not our style). If that’s what it takes, bring it on.

One of our priests did not make a political statement. He just compared TWO of the first executive orders:

Closing Gitmo and releasing a few to satisfy MANY.
Repealing the Mexico City order and putting MANY in danger to satisfy a few.

He didnt’ understand.

I love Mother Teresa’s quote: “Tis a pity that a child must die for you to have choice.”

There is no debate that abortion is the gravest of evils before us today, but how loudly will the evangelicals and conservatives cry about Catholic Church intervention in politics when the other areas of Catholic Social Doctrine such as immigration reform and the death penalty are addressed?

"The greatest joy I had after I came into the Church was really studying Evangelium Vitae, and I was never so proud to be a Catholic and I was never so embarrassed. Because I realised that if we would simply follow these marching orders we would win. And the fact that the bishops refuse to obey, is why we have child-killing in America."

Serving the Gospel of life thus means that the family, particularly through its membership of family associations, works to ensure that the laws and institutions of the State in no way violate the right to life, from conception to natural death, but rather protect and promote it.

Rndall Terry has gotten a bad rap as a fringer, but he’s right on here. As Catholics, we deserve to have strong, steadfast, and above all, STAUNCHLY CATHOLIC bishops.

[CASchack]

Too many of the American Bishops are afflicted with timidity. We have to pray for the bishops and the unborn.

[Ransomed]

The bishops should act like abortion is what they say it is. Good for this guy, maybe it’ll get through some mitred heads.
