Connecticut Diocese Praises Pro-Abortion U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney For Amnesty Support
Breitbart ^ | 8/10/14 | Breitbart News

The Roman Catholic diocese of Norwich, Connecticut, under Bishop Michael Cote, has praised Congressman Joe Courtney (D-CT) for his work with diocesan groups toward amnesty for illegal immigrants, claiming that Courtney and the pro-amnesty groups are “working together to do the right thing.” Courtney, who was raised Catholic, last year was given a rating of 100% by NARAL Pro-Choice America, the largest organization in the United States that engages in political action to oppose restrictions on abortion and expand access to abortion. His 100% NARAL rating means that Courtney has always voted to ensure abortion has no restrictions and that, in fact, access to abortion can be expanded. The Congressman is featured in a photo accompanying an article on page 12 of the August issue of Four County Catholic, the diocesan newspaper, along with Sister Mary Jude, director of the diocesan Hispanic Ministry. “Immigration reform and immigration assistance continues to be a priority concern of the Church, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and the Hispanic Ministry here in the Diocese of Norwich,” reads the article. “Continuous efforts are underway to build awareness of the Catholic position on this matter with State legislators, national representatives and the public at large.” However, in 2004, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) adopted a resolution, by a near-unanimous vote, that states' Catholic institutions should not honor pro-abortion politicians or provide them with a stage that would suggest support for their actions.

Why would America’s founding history make you so angry, I merely wanted to give the actual numbers, immigration didn’t start bringing in the Catholics until close to the Civil War, and of course this modern wave of immigration since 1965.

And who appointed EVERY SINGLE ONE of the dozens and dozens of Marxist, gay, crypto-pro-abortion bishops of the past half-century? The Popes, who keep whining about the bishops, and who keep getting canonized.

The New England Irish are almost entirely given over to the worship of Ba’al. And, starting around 1900, the Popes sent Boston three homosexuals as bishops, O’Connell, Cushing, and Medeiros, who did not lift a finger against the putrefaction known as “the Kennedys.” Neither, of course, did Law, and neither has Cardinal Sean.
