How many pro-lifers here with these magnanimous views on Tiller's redemption are Catholic?

In what respect? That they are praying for him still?

yes, the compulsion to pray for a mass murderer strikes me as odd

and this snippet from another thread by Father Pavone.

“”But whatever the motives, we at Priests for Life continue to insist on a culture in which violence is never seen as the solution to any problem”

and what a lot of other movement freepers here have been saying....a lot of platitudes that equivocate every life and are pacifist sounding

maybe things have changed but there is a marked difference in all that and what I was taught as a lad and a Southern Baptist..

and this bugs me.....Christianity doesn't own this...why would anyone even half decent need Christianity to tell them aborting viable babies at late term is wrong?...my anti-abortion views are not based on my belief that Christ was God's son who came here to suffer and die on our behalf

anyhow...it's all been an eye opener, I never knew my own views were so divergent with movement folks here like they are.

I don't want to be like that but I sure appreciate their efforts...

I pray for many people but praying for Tiller was never a thought in my head. I figure he will answer for what he did in this life just the way I will when the time comes.

I truly don't understand how he or the mothers could abort a baby. When I was younger I had friends that had no problems with abortions. Now some of them are big pro lifers . I wonder if its guilt. One of my friends who had quite a few abortions now can't get pregnant. I try to avoid her as much as I can. I hate hearing of her treatments & she refuses to adopt. It all gives me a headache.
