Unfortunately there are plenty of heterodox priests who do NOT favor life, and more than a few bishops as well, although the situation is improving.

There is always the possibility below, although I consider it a probability.

Some of the 45 Communists Goals as of the early 1960s.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

Obviously, the Democrats have been taken over since the early 1900s. Now the Republicans are being compromised, probably through the advice of political consultants.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

Roe vs Wade immediately come to mind as well as the attacks on the 2nd Amendment. I am sure you can name some others.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

Can there be any doubt about the status of this?

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

How else did Obama get to be President of the Harvard Law review?

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.

Mission accomplished!

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

Any middle age or older American has seen this unfold before our eyes. Younger ones are witnessing much of it today.
