It's not only about abortion. Obama has made it very clear that in his new health care program he would appoint staff to look over all of the medical care that sick people and the elderly need, and if their health care costs too much, they will just let you die. I mean, after all, dying is part of getting old and sick people just have to accept the fact that they're going to die. For the common good, I suppose. As far as Obama is concerned, there is NO sanctity to human life. I would think the Pope would be outraged, just like we are!
God is not mocked, there will be an accounting whether anyone believes it or not. Most everyone seems to be doing which is “...right in his own eyes” but the “Lord pondereth the hearts”. (*sigh*)
Pray for the aged, infirm, handicapped, unborn and partial born, for their protection for they have a fearsome advocate and He listens.
I think the pope is probably saddened by all this, but he knows that it is beyiond his powers simply to zap Jenkins. Even the local bishop can’t do much. The universities are private corporations who may be trading on the name of Catholic, but they have powerful protectors. Father Jenkins is what in medieval times was called an “over-mighty subject.” who was free to disregard what his king wished, unlss he went too far out on a limb. The Church in the USA is divided between “liberals” and “conservatives,” the former who are trying to redefine what it means to be Catholic.
