BAKER Oregon, February 21, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) Robert Vasa, the Catholic bishop of the Oregon diocese of Baker, has written a letter to his diocesan newspaper clearly identifying the so-called pro-choice position among Catholics as a heresy. For decades, many Catholics have argued that primacy of conscience allows them to dissent from basic Church teaching, including the right to life, and still consider themselves good Catholics.
Pro-Choice Position is Heresy Says Oregon Catholic Bishop

"It was disclosed Monday that Siebert was working without a Florida medical license when he signed Anderson's autopsy on Feb. 16. Siebert's license expired Jan. 31. Siebert has said he remembers sending in the renewal paperwork, but does not know if the state received the forms.
Department of Health spokesman Doc Kokol said Siebert renewed his license on Tuesday. Kokol said that while it is not illegal for a medical examiner to let his license lapse, it is illegal to practice medicine without a license by performing autopsies." AP Story
FV SAYS: Fla AG Charlie Crist hasn't uttered a word about law enforcement (five healthy Sheriff employees) and he's Fla's chief law enforcement officer. He wants to be governor? Crist as far as I can tell has not made any statements about the child's suspicious death. He's letting Jeb handle the media. At least Crist is consistent with his absence.
Yay! It's so nice to see that there are some Catholic bishops in the U.S. who know when to call a spade a spade. God bless Bishop Vasa!!
Ping! Don't know if you've seen this post, but the link is a good one about an American Catholic bishop who seems to understand where his loyalty should lie. Just thought you might be interested.
