Of the lasting memories this event created, for me, it comes down to one that I just can’t get out of my mind.
A man is honored in the house of God. This man has done everything possible to support the murder of babies. He stood before a large cheering crowd of those that call themselves Christians and those that call themselves educated......
WHILE outside, an aging and near frail priest is arrested, handcuffed and removed from the crowd.
His crime— slowing and peacefully walking, while praying in a small and reasonably quiet demonstration, all in support of the lives of the little ones that can not defend themselves.
He did this within the United States of America.
He didn’t do this for fame, fortune, money or political gain. He did this out of his love for the sanctity of life, the obligation and love he has for God and his knowledge that killing babies is wrong.
So the man that supports the killing of babies is honored, while the priest that supports their right to live is arrested.
I am sorry, but ND and these Catholics will NEVER be able to wash their hands clean from this sad moment...... that never needed to happen.
You summed it up nicely.
I whole heartedly agree.
Your post is profoundly touching, I hadn’t considered that. But it does reinforce my belief that this is the trend of things, and Christ’s return for His people can’t be much longer in light of the trend. I believe there’s no going back. Mrs Thatcher referred to it as “the ratchet effect” in politics, the principle applies just as well for culture and society.
