HELP? for diplomacy and strength of purpose!

I think a thread for this purpose is a great idea. There's no reason not to include non-Catholics, although their strategies may differ from ours.

I think the key is to first address the issue of abortion from the aspect of healing. I am sure that most pastors are reluctant to address the issue because abortion has touched so many lives.

So I think any talk from the pulpit must first address repentence and forgiveness, and also lay out sacramental and pastoral methods of healing.

From there, I think we can move on to the right to life. Take a look at the way abortion is addressed at this CPC.

As long as it doesn't get like "The Never Ending Story" thread. I helped start and stuck with the first 50 threads. The thread began when the Baptists dropped out of ecumenical talks with the RC Church. I changed the name of the thread to Never Ending Story to prove that the talks really never ended. I think their up to thread 150+

I didn't like the ridicule and anti-Catholic rhetoric, so like many Catholics, left the thread. Fundamentalist denial of historically empirical truths made the dialog so onesided and subjective that it was far from ecumenical and IMO, a waste of energy.

I needed to get that off my chest. Mea Culpa!!!
