I go every Sunday and I can’t remember the last time a priest mentioned abortion (or anything similar).
His excuse is that he's senile lol.
I see what I can find online
The good news... If you were baptized in the Catholic religion then you get to go to heaven, unlike the rest of you heathens. Just make sure there’s a priest near by to give you your last rights.
There is a priest in our area who mentions it almost every week. “Pride” and “gender ideology” too. He’s a no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoners kind of guy.

That is just a few but seems all the ones that preach it are on youtube.
“I was told by an obviously gay priest that God approved of homosexuality and we need to accept that.”
You need to complain to the bishop!
Since the Pope criticized the Church for talking about abortion too much (“It is not necessary to talk about these issues all the time”) I find the rate of abortion mentions in sermons has remained constant ...
at about 1 mention every 3 years.
I did, along with a few others. They replaced him — as I recall, they moved him to Washington — but it made me feel uncomfortable with the priesthood from then forward. I know it’s my problem, but I’ve prayed and prayed about it and just cannot feel comfortable going back.
Yet, Gregory has refused to instruct his priests to refuse Holy Communion to well-known pro-aborts, Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi in his Archdiocese of Washington, D.C., unlike Archbishop Cordileone who has refused Pelosi Holy Communion in her home Archdiocese of San Francisco.
There are still a lot of great priests out there. Don’t be discouraged.
He doesn’t approve, and there’s nothing old school about what you’re doing.
I can’t remember the last time a priest mentioned abortion (or anything of any consequence). The number of good homilies I’ve heard can be counted on one hand.
Plus you get to sleep in on Sundays now, right?
lol Always did. I was a Saturday Evening Catholic, unless I was needed on Sunday.
Did you get to the part where St. Paul says:
8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. — Galatians 1:8-9
Seems to me that a better response would have been to let him be accursed, rather than accursing yourself.
Hmmmm that I’ll need to think on, though I’m missing how I’m accursed because a group of friends talk about our faith and help each other with questions. Thanks for that (sincerely, not sarcastically).
Talking about your faith and helping each other is all well and good. But substituting that for receiving Our Lord… well that’s another story entirely.
“So Jesus said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.’“ John 6:53
Why would you deprive yourself of life because of one stupid priest? Or even over many stupid and unfaithful priests? It’s spiritual suicide.
