It's about time - Catholics stand up!

For the purpose of our readers, I am a Roman Catholic. I didn't ask his permission but Jake is as well. One of the issues that has always troubled me in the Catholic community are elected politicians who are practicing Catholics and promote abortion. I am not talking about someone who balances belief in the tenets of a politicians philosophy with a passive agreement with abortion. I am talking about someone who promotes abortion as a talking point to make them unique in New Jersey or the US.

Our Catholic Bishops are late in dealing with this issue. They have too often watched idly as politicians like Kerry or Biden or Pelosi mis-state Catholic doctrine. The also seem to tacitly agree to shut up while accepting some alleged benefit for their congregation but in doing so become a part of the practice themselves. But apparently now, Catholic Priests are standing up.

Check out this site. My wife and I know a lady who is far more agressive than we are at challenging people to explain their support for liberals and abortion. Her heart is most definitely in the right place and maybe she doesn't go far enough. You can't support life while supporting people who promote abortion for convenience. Period.

It isn't about the inflexibility about the girl who was raped. It is about retaining the right to kill a child born alive through a botched abortion. Only one hypothetical is discussed but the facts don't match up. I am not a radical in this regard. But I also don't believe that deciding to match a lack of attention to birth control enables someone to abort an "inconvenience" on demand. I call that a child and frankly, if the liberal community is honest, the only real systematic hollacaust in this country is the mass abortion of black children for convenience and promoted by the Democratic party. Period.
