The Democrats in this state haven't listened to the Church for years. It didn't take the sex abuse scandal to do that. Cardinal Law was villified by the libs in Boston for many years before anyone ever heard of Geoghan or Shanley.

I remember when the Cardinal decided to close St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Dorcester, a largely minority neighborhood. Now he was closing the BIG facility, but was leaving open a clinic necessary for the everyday well being of the people in the surrounding Community. From the reaction at the Boston Globe, you'd have thought the Cardinal had donned KKK robes and burned a cross on the Boston Common. They intimated that he made that decision because he was from Mississippi, and 'everyone knows' what THOSE people are like! I wrote a letter to the Globe informing it's readers that the Globe obviously didn't bother to check out the Cardinal's background or they wouldn't have made such a glaringly WRONG assumption. While he was serving in MS, he was a very outspoken Civil Rights supporter, both as editor of the diocesan newspaper, and later as Chancellor of the Diocese. When the Civil Rights leader, Medgar Evars, was killed, there were very few white faces in the crowd at his funeral. Two of them belonged to Joseph Brunini, Bishop of the Diocese of Jackson, MS, and Rev. Bernard Law.

Whoever the leader of the Church in Boston happens to be, and no matter how much he says or does to support the pro-life message, he will always be ignored by Catholic Legislators because they're more wedded to the Democrat Party than they are to their faith, and seem to have been that way for years.

Glad I missed that one, and I'm glad that you dope-slapped them, for what good it will do.

Funny that the Globe hasn't done such high quality investigative reporting regarding the fact that Planned Parenthood abortuaries are disproportionately located in black areas, and that "a 1992 report revealed that 23.2 percent of women who obtained abortions at its affiliates were black —although blacks represent no more than 13 percent of the total population." [Planned Parenthood Federation of America 1992 Service Report, “Characteristics of Abortion Patients,” 12.] Link.

Can't wait until the Glob goes belly up.

How true! I just wish they (CINOS) weren't employed by the Archdiocese (Peter Meade) or honored by Catholic Charities (Mayor Menino in 2005)
