Father Weslin is a true hero and this statement by him is perfect!

Thread by victim soul.

Father Weslin is out of jail and has a message for you

THANK YOU ALL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE TRIED TO PREVENT:

The greatest scandal that has befallen our Catholic Church here in America--A Catholic University, who bears Jesus Christ's Most Holy Mother's name-- has given not only a platform but also an honorary degree in Law to the highest elected official in our beloved United States of America

despite The Apostolic Constitution of The Supreme Pontiff John Paul II on Catholic Universities

despite The Catechism of The Catholic Church teachings in regards to giving scandal (#2284-2287)

despite The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' demand that no Catholic institution should honor anyone who promotes, participates or legislates the killing of unborn children

despite the heroic efforts of the Cardinal Newman Society who gathered and presented over 363,000 signed petitions to withdraw this invitation and platform

despite the refusal of Mary Ann Glendon, who counseled our bishops and was Ambassador the the Vatican, to accept Notre Dame’s Laetare Award

despite 83 American bishops who pleaded and then condemned this abomination

despite the hue and cry of alumni who are withdrawing their support and millions of dollars

despite the pleas from students for rosaries to be said to stop this abomination

and despite the heroic efforts of Randall Terry, Alan Keyes and so many pro-life activists on the street, on the internet, and in and on the air

despite the warnings of the grave scandal to our Faith and the Faithful on May 8th by Archbishop Raymond Burke, Archbishop Emeritus of Saint Louis and Vatican Prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura who addressed The National Catholic Breakfast in Washington with these words:

"Our uncompromising commitment to protect the inviolable dignity of innocent human life and to safeguard the integrity of marriage and the family are not based on peculiar confessional beliefs or practices but on the natural moral law, written on every heart and, therefore, a fundamental part of the Church's moral teaching.

At the same time, what is always and everywhere evil cannot be called good for the sake of accomplishing some other good end.

All of us must be concerned about a wide range of goods which are important to the life of our nation, but the concern for those goods can never justify the betrayal of the fundamental goods of life itself and the family.

We must take care to uproot from our moral thinking any form of relativism, consequentialism and proportionalism, which would lead us into the error of thinking that it is sometimes right to do what is always and everywhere evil."

Barack Obama is

A President who adamantly and unapologetically supports, enables and funds The Culture of Death.

A President who claims that defining when human life begins “is above his pay grade.”

A President who claims children are a “punishment” not a gift from God.

A President who has promised Planned Parenthood that he will support The Freedom of Choice Act which will overturn any states’ laws that in effect have “reduced” the number of abortions.

A President who calls his vote in the Senate designed to save the life of disabled Terri Schindler Schiavo from court ordered death by intentional starvation and dehydration a mistake.

A President who now wants to deny medical personnel and pharmacists their rights to conscientiously object in participating in his Culture of Death vision.

A President who uses our money as taxpayers to fund abortionists for the intentional continued “depopulation” of our brothers and sisters overseas.

A President who uses our money to fund unnecessary and cannibalistic embryonic research while adult stem cell research is ethical and proving in over 70 instances to help or cure various diseases.

A President who declares that waterboarding terrorists is torture yet supports the most egregious and cruel methods of torture for God's most defenseless children in their mothers’ wombs.

A President who even denies fully born children of botched abortions their rights to comfort and care by other medical personnel after the abortionist does his dastardly deed. . .

"We will not be silent. We are your bad conscience.
The White Rose will give you no rest."

At least they are willing to admit the obvious.

Top Obama Aide Tells Pro-Life Advocate, "Not Our Goal to Reduce Abortions"

Two days before President Obama’s commencement address at Notre Dame, I was at the White House for one of the meetings that he spoke about. About twenty of us with differing views on abortion were brought in to find “common ground.” But the most important point that came from the meeting was perhaps a slip from an Obama aide.

It revealed that what many people believe -- including high-profile pro-life leaders who support Obama -- is sorely wrong.

Ask nearly anyone, “What is Obama’s goal on abortion?” They'll answer, “Reduce the number of abortions.” A Notre Dame professor and priest insisted this in a television debate after Obama’s speech. The Vatican newspaper reported it. Rush Limbaugh led a spirited debate on his radio program the next day based on this premise.

But that’s not what his top official in charge of finding “common ground” says.

Melody Barnes, the Director of Domestic Policy Council and a former board member of Emily’s List, led the meeting. As the dialogue wound down, she asked for my input.

I noted that there are three main ways the administration can reach its goals: by what it funds, its messages from the bully pulpit, and by what it restricts. It is universally agreed that the role of parents is crucial, so government should not deny parents the ability to be involved in vital decisions. The goals need to be clear; the amount of funding spent to reduce unintended pregnancies and abortions is not a goal.

The U.S. spends nearly $2 billion each year on contraception programs -- programs which began in the 1970s -- and they've clearly failed. We need to take an honest look at why they are not working.

Melody testily interrupted to state that she had to correct me. “It is not our goal to reduce the number of abortions.”

The room was silent.

The goal, she insisted, is to “reduce the need for abortions.”

Well, this raises a lot of questions. . .
