Thanks! Considering that they have been sneering at us for over fifty years it is good to see them circling the drain!

The frustration of Catholic leaders with Catholic politicians who made little or no effort to reconcile their support of abortion rights with church teaching on the morality of abortion goes back decades.

You've seen those signs carried by frustrated picketers over the years: "Ted Kennedy: PUT MORE EFFORT into reconciling your support of abortion rights with Catholic teaching on the morality of abortion."

Note how the politicians support "abortion rights," while the Church has a teaching on "the morality of abortion." (CODE WORD ALERT: "morality," for liberals, is self-evidently private, except sometimes, when it is self-evidently public, e.g., war, "torture," a tax cut, a spending cut, etc.) In other words, the failure of understanding is all on the part of Church "leaders," who fail to grasp the blindingly obvious truth that the Church's teaching that abortion is "immoral" has nothing whatsoever to do with "abortion rights."

So: all you pro-abortion Catholics, get in there and put more effort into explaining to the bishops once again that they need to just shut up about abortion.

Wait a minute. The “pro-life community” needs to “reach” the campus of Notre Dame. Specifically, the PRESIDENT of Notre Dame?

The President of Notre Dame is a goddam CATHOLIC PRIEST!

Why should “the pro-life community” NEED to “reach” him in order to prevent an invitation to the most pro-abortion President in history.
