What happened to Drinan? Not nearly enough! OTOH, he had the effrontery, while a militantly pro-abortion Congresscritter to be part of a receiving line for Blessed John Paul II when the pontiff visited the District of Corruption. When JP II got to Drinan, he pointed a finger in his face and directly ordered him to leave Congress. Drinan obeyed and withdrew as a candidate for re-election. This is what allowed Barney Frank to be elected to that seat.

In better days, Drinan would have been burned at the stake after a prolonged and long overdue, ummmm, inquiry by skilled, ummm. inquirers. Regrettably Drinan, in our sorry and degenerate age, lived another quarter of a century and apparently died a natural death rather than suffering his just deserts at the hands of inquisitors.

So Drinin, the priest who was the abortionists best friend, is ordered to not to run for office? Oh! the pain!

The hypocrisy of the leadership is stunning! Rant and wail about the horrors of abortion and then choke at the prospect of actually doing anything. How is the laity to view this half hearted effort? They practice abortion at about the same rate as non-Catholics.
