My reference was totally in regard to this line from the e-mail: He is continuing to negotiate with the Cardinal through all the proper channels and in accordance with the demands of Canon Law.

I was asking for prayer that this not be turned into some faction type of action wherein Priests For Life might seem, in any way, to be outside or at odds with the Church.

There is a drastic shortage of priests for parish assignment -- but to have pulled such a wonderful soldier from this particular front line, is bound to raise questions.

This could be a simple exercise in obedience and in humility, to which Father Frank is being subjected ... and NONE of us know what the intent behind his removal is.

The misuse of NRTL, mentioned by Askel5, is a cause of deep concern for us as well -- as they are bragging about bastardization of one of their most basic goals and agree in essence with using the murdered embryos as fodder for future destruction, with some quixotic rationalization -- in this we have had a major sell out of truth and the entire movement for life.

AT LEAST, we needn't fear collapse of the Priests for Life and betrayal of our principles by them, no matter the "leader"-- not so, National Right to Life!

Bears close watching, of course.

There is no question that there are many in the Catholic Church (Monsignor McHugh and Archbishop Spellman come to mind) who've been totally co-opted by the Culture of Death and politicians bent on pop-control and eugencics.
(If you've ever read any of my posts on from "The McHugh Chronicles" you know of what I speak.)

So ... for that reason I'm certainly wary when it comes to the Church (and the diocese of New York) but you're right that I have no qualms pointing out that the NRLC is utterly co-opted and basically just a means for consolidating pro-lifers so they can spin their wheels en masse on meaningless legislation between rationalizing support for "pro-lifers" like Bush and their Clever Compromises.
