One can hope. It would be nice though if their pastor would make an effort to catechize them on the sin of abortion and contraception and their push for population control.

Very few Catholic priests, or other preachers, are going to preach things that would cause a multi-billionaire to go elsewhere. Anyway, the priest is probably pro-abortion himself. It’s Seattle, isn’t it?

We don’t know that their priest isn’t working to catechize the Gateses. He would not do that loudly or publicly. He’d do it quietly, lovingly, patiently. He cannot force his views on them, he can only help to redirect their thinking.

Doesn’t anyone remember how Norma McCorvey was converted from being THE Roe in Roe v Wade to being pro-life? She wasn’t shamed, cajoled, or forced to reconsider. It was a slow, patient process.

All things happen in His time
