A little good news ping.

If our efforts played only a fraction of a small role in this courageous act by Sioux Falls' Bishop Robert Carlson, it was worth it.

Please consider downloading and passing out The Divine Mercy Prayer Project postcards for other Culture of Death "Catholic" politicians.

Wow! What a great example for all Christian churches to follow; if only they would!!

[EternalHope]

Outstanding!

[Malesherbes]

The absolute correct way to do this.

Wouldn't it be nice if they did the same for pedophilia in society.

[WorkingClassFilth]

A BUMP for Sioux Falls' Bishop Robert Carlson.

[MIgramma]

Fantastic!
Now how do we go about doing the same for our Gov. Granholm.
It's obvious that picketing outside her church has no effect.
Maybe we need something like the "deck of cards"?
You know, draw one and pray 'til mission accomplished.

Has little Tommy made any public response to this? Has Rush been notified? Anybody else think little Tommy is snowballing down the hill of political irrelevance? I am sure he is saddened and deeply disturbed.

Paraphrase of Bush to UN: "Back up your words with actions, or risk irrelevance."

Perhaps what we're also seeing here is the "trickle-down" effect of W's bold, God-fearing leadership. The UN scoffed. Praise God, Bishop Carlson and the diocese listened.

I pray that similar decrees be forwarded to the rest (Pelosi, Kennedy, et al), and may I humbly speculate that The Lord will empower and grow His church if it "stands in the gap," and continues to show reverent strength.

Woooo Hoooo!!! Gotta' respect that!!!! It is good to see that the power of God still influences our Country to such a great degree.

Our esteemed (not!!) governor out here in California could use a similar "treatment". I have heard some Catholic leaders call on Gray Davis to stop supporting abortion, or to stop calling himself a Catholic, but so far he has not. In fact, I think he has responded directly to them, telling them that he intends to do neither. I think that he even once declared something like "I am a Catholic AND I am pro-choice!!". If someone knows this to be inaccurate, please correct me, but I thought I heard him say something like that.

I am a bit concerned about some Catholic Churches themselves though. Take my own Parish here in the East Bay, for example. I was glancing through their Sunday Bulletin last weekend, and what did I see on page 2?? There was a blurb there asking for "activists" to join a parishner and some renegade priest on Good Friday morning to go out to Livermore to the Lawrence Livermore Labs (really early, like 6:00am or something). The blurb said that after celebrating some sort of service, that those who "felt comfortable" doing so should be prepared to peacefully block the entrance to the Labs, and possibly get arrested.

I couldn't believe what I was reading. I was tempted to call up the Head Priest of the Parish and complain, but decided that it wouldn't do any good, as he probably has to approve anything that goes into the bulletin anyway.

I am tempted to show up in Livermore on Friday morning, bearing a sign that reads "Catholics Support George Bush". However, that is awfully early, and I still have to go to work!! I'd love to see the looks on their faces though, if I showed up and did that!! Heck, I'd even help the Police arrest them!!

Either way, we have a long way to go. However, I'd like to believe that at least 95% of the Catholic Church is actually sane, and that these kooks are a demented abberation (who desperately need our prayers!!).

Good point earlier about Pedophiles. It is not just a Catholic problem. It is an abomination that effects all humans equally, no matter where they live, or what they believe. To refer to all/most Catholics (or Catholic leadership) as pedophiles is to succumb to the left-wing propoganda of the godless news/entertainment media industrial complex.

[patriciaruth]

Sen. Daschle is/was Catholic?

That is a shock.

Me, I'm just praying for our beloved National Security Advisor, Condoleezza Rice, to be inspired to see the truth and embrace pro-life.

Obviously, the politicians on the left value power more than their religion and their souls. I hope some Divine guidance can change their attitudes.

[green team 1999]
