assumptions that the Church doesn't address women about abortion,

Almost without exception, every homily I have heard at every mass in every parish I have been in or visited as far back as I can remember has been ambiguous fluff.

Times that abortion has even been mentioned in a homily in 50 years? Perhaps 20 times.

I'm looking forward to the grand Catholic funeral mass when Ted Kennedy croaks- where all the famous abortion Catholics receive Communion. You know, just like the Papal Mass.

Talk is cheap, and there isn't really all that much talk, all things considered.

The Church is alot bigger than The Homily. I find it impossible to believe that if you were as concerned about this issue as you appear to be, you could have failed to grasp this.

The Church is being the Church in the Marketplace (outside the Chapel), and the first poster complains that it's "getting the government to do its job;" I guess the on the planet you were raised on, the only place the Church is allowed to be the Church is in the Chapel.

Which, as I said, is the recipe for marginalization, irrelevence, and the ruin of a nation.

To wit...
