BTW, if anybody has read any comments from the hierarchy, please post them as a refutation of Fr. Collins' statements.
amazing but the writer may have a point, I had just assumed the bishops would be leading the charge against the Nazi style mass murder of human babies with carving them up for resale in bits and pieces
what a horrible horrible horrible Satanic thing to be going on, and in USA!!! May God have mercy on us!!!!!!!
But Planned Parenthoods callous disregard for the bodies of innocent babies should have surprised no one, according to Archbishop Charles Chaput of Philadelphia.
No one should be shocked by this video, Archbishop Chaput said in a statement for the Register. This is who Planned Parenthood is and what it does. Its been part of the organizations gene code from the start. The logic of its disdain for new life is just working itself out. And it wont stop until the money and the media adulation are cut off.
It will be interesting to see if Raymond Arroyo discusses this (and who is guest is if he does) on his weekly program tomorrow (Thu, 7/23).
The Pope is too busy pushing communism and climate change
Archbishop Chaput is a good man. Probably there are a few other bishops who have spoken out, but it certainly is true that most of them have not done enough.

I have a friend in Columbia who was going to bring his wife to the United States next spring. He told me last week that he is now afraid to visit the US because he senses something bad might happen soon.
“Sadly, solid evidence has been accumulating over the years to indicate that the bureaucracy at the USCCB has incrementally become merely a sycophantic branch of the Democratic Party.”
The bishops, collectively, ceased to be Catholic at Vatican II. Since then, the bishops, collectively, have not supported Catholic teachings.
They can’t bother themselves with type of thing when they are prepping Pope Francis to herald in the NWO and be best buddies with the AntiChrist.../s
The Catholic Church, regardless the USCCB, the current ideological pontiff as well as any scandal that rightfully condemns the people entrusted to enforcing ad preserving the tenets of the Church for those who don’t have enough motivation or wisdom to get the hell off the couch and Google the catechism, have plainly stated that abortion as well as all birth control, THE PARENT of its offspring, abortion, cultural acceptance of homosexuality, immodesty, promiscuity, destruction of the family, is not expected at least by me to come out and say , well, it’s ok to kill babies, well maybe not, but when you start making money, that’s where we draw the line
Disgusting
No
The lack of outrage people are outraged about, apologies to rush, is not there in the true pro life realm
Once you have a mother kill it’s baby, what does it matter if some ghoul gets a Lamborghini out of the deal?
Sorry
One good thing out of many good things that will come of this expose is that people will be forced to pay attention visually to the horrors of abortion which were plain to me as an elementary school kid in 1970 when the abortion bill came up for debate
Cardinal Dolan in the name of pastoralism is on his way to the nearest Planned Parenthood to give out Communion.
The Catholic Church’s stand against abortion is very clear. Does Fr. Collins expect the USCCB to chime in on everything related to Planned unParenthood?
Thank you very much.
“The Catholic Churchs stand against abortion is very clear. Does Fr. Collins expect the USCCB to chime in on everything related to Planned unParenthood?”
Wrong!
It’s not so clear, not when the same bishops who urge the faithful to participate in the March for Life will be dining with the abortion-financing Pelosis, Bidens, Kennedys, OMalleys, Mikulskis that nite.
The USCCB is staffed by mostly ultra-left Democrats who came through revolving doors from Democrat or left wing operations.
The recently retired staffer who ran the big Campaign for Human Development was formerly a Democrat staffer. He oversaw the grant of $7 million to ACORN, a leading abortion support group.
I know people outside the RC Church who have very little use for the RCC (pre or post Vatican2). Indeed, a few of them are strongly anti-RCC. But they greatly respect and appreciate the Church’s active pro-life stand.
I can only say I pray it will continue.
You have hit upon an endemic part of the problem. The USCCB should not have ANY staff at all. They are NOT a governing body, and they have no authority over one single Catholic.
We have bishops, who in many cases have auxiliary bishops too, and they all have chanceries with staff. They have priests, managers, secretaries, consultants, committees, lay contributors, and press agents. That should not be duplicated on the USCCB level.
Nobody reports to the USCCB except its own staff. Nobody, including US (in case anyone is in doubt) is beholden to a fraternal body with no Church authorization to make policy or direct a single Catholic layperson. They are basically a discussion group.
Your own bishop in your own diocese is the only one who can claim obedience from you, not the USCCB. Your particular bishop is consecrated to his sacred position in order to teach, govern and sanctify in his geographical boundaries. That bishop “reports” directly to the Holy Father, not to the USCCB. Lots of folks don’t realize these facts.
Chaput is a blowhard.
He has a priest, Paul Morrissey, OSA, who has been campaigning for gay marriage, publishing articles calling for gay marriage IN the Catholic Church, etc. Chaput has done nothing.
In 1968, Cardinal Patrick A. O’Boyle suspended fifty-two priests, including his own confessor, a Jesuit, for signing a declaration promoting contraception.
The USCCB has chimed in in support of giving Iran nuclear bombs. The USCCB has chimed in in support of Hussein’s ILLEGAL actions on immigration. (The USCCB NEVER CARES if an action is illegal. They judge government actions entirely by results.)
The USCCB takes public policy positions on approximately 100 issues. On about THREE of them, a Catholic is obliged to agree with them. (Abortion, fetal stem-cell research, euthanasia.)
Exactly.
Who has time to promote the family, traditional marriage, human life?
Mere trifles and "road bumps" when global warming is the MOST IMPORTANT THING EVER.
The Pope's silence on the teachings of the Catholic church is deafening.
He should be screaming his head off about those things.
Alas, no.
He's just a politician. And a very dangerous one at that.
