The following letterheads have signed a statement affirming the decision by officials from the Empire State Building not to light the towers on Mother Teresa's centenary:
Catholics for Choice Call to Action Chicago Women-Choice DignityUSA FOSIL National Coalition of American Nuns New Ways Ministry Roman Catholic WomenpriestsUSA Take Back Our Church Women's Alliance for Theology, Ethics and Ritual Women's Ordination Conference
Catholic League president Bill Donohue responded this way:
If all the dues-paying members of these organizations were assembled together in one spot, they would easily fit into a phone booth. No matter, these ex-Catholics are so pro-abortion that they are now on record of wanting to deny Mother Teresa a tribute on the 100th anniversary of her birthday.
The good news is that the Catholic League will lead a rally on behalf of Mother Teresa on August 26, right outside the Empire State Building. We have the support of people from all over the world, and from all the world's religions. Indeed, I will meet today with the Most Rev. A.A.S. Durairaj SVD, the Bishop of Khandwa, India; like all the other bishops from India that have contacted us, he supports our campaign to honor Mother Teresa.
Even those who are not pro-life are on our side, which just goes to show how extreme the dissenters are. But as long as they remain marginalized, they are of no historic moment.
there is no such thing as “Catholics for choice” — it’s a mutually-exclusive proposition, the perfect oxymoron.
Catholic ping!
I'll go even further. There is no such thing as "Christians for choice" either.
Is it possible for the Catholic Church to go after groups that are anti-Christian but use the word “Catholic” in their name?
I don’t know. But don’t try to name your pizza place Olympic Pizza.
The left’s extreme opposition to Mother Theresa, solely on her belief in LIFE, should tell everyone that the left primary agenda has always been death.
The left could care less that Mother Theresa cared for the ill, fed the poor and comforted the dying.
I do wish there were more public rebukes of the pretend-Catholic twits, though. They deserve to be splattered by what the news agencies would describe as "a red liquid resembling blood."
