Judie Brown, President of the American Life League, has been disturbed by the cowardice of the North Dakota bishops who came out AGAINST a bill recently introduced into the state legislature to outlaw abortion. She has posted on her website these excerpts from the Catechism of the Catholic Church to demonstrate how specious were the arguments that the bishops used against the law. These quotations show that the bishops'position was directly contrary to the teaching of the Catechism.

You post this article, and date it as if it’s a recent post to the ALL website, and act as if its in response to the acts of the ND Bishops. You even make the claim:
She has posted on her website these excerpts from the Catechism of the Catholic Church to demonstrate how specious were the arguments that the bishops used against the law.
That is false. This article was posted at least as of May 31, 2000, which was over 2 ½ years ago. You stop at nothing to slam these Bishops. Did Bishop Zipfel get under your thin SSPX skin by calling the SSPX schismatic, referring to Archbishop Lefebvre as excommunicated, and making it clear to Catholics in his diocese that the local SSPX parish did not enjoy communion with the Roman Catholic Church?

Perhaps it was his ignoring the SSPX demand that he “Halt the celebration of the New Mass” that gets to Traditionalists?

Who knows. However, I do note that you repeatedly characterize Ms. Brown as being “disturbed by the cowardice of the North Dakota bishops.” In addition to your claim that these catechism sections are new, are you her spokesman or something now? If not, can you show me where she says something of this sort, or are you just putting words in her mouth?

Yes, she disagrees with the Bishops on this, but I hardly think she agrees with you, and posting two year old materials from her website, lying about their date, and putting words in her mouth hardly helps your case.

You are fond of making bogus claims about non-schismatic Catholics, like your previous claim on this issue that “not even Catholic bishops truly support the right to life,” a claim so thoroughly proven false that you couldn’t even respond last time, and just like your claim that “The default state today for virtually all Catholics is to be living objectively in a state of mortal sin” something you still have yet to justify.

I’m sure you consider me to be in mortal sin merely for responding to you again. Regardless, your agenda is transparent, and your efforts are disingenuous.

Thanks for the ping. Judie Brown acts in a more Catholic way; and in doing so, saves more unborn children, than these cowardly bishops.
