Using Words of Christ HLI President Strongly Rebukes Pro-Abortion Catholic Politicians
FRONT ROYAL, May 27, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer, president of Human Life International, has issued a stinging rebuke to the 48 Catholic U.S. congressmen who have claimed that being denied communion because of their pro-abortion stance will "revive anti-Catholic bigotry".
"The Lord Jesus had a term for those who professed to believe in sacred principles and then contradicted those principles by their public positions and actions: hypocrites," said Fr. Euteneuer in a release. "Every wretched sinner, public or private, who turned away from sin, always received the fullness of His mercy, but He could not and would not countenance the pharisaical posturing of those legalists who knew the meaning of the law and flouted it anyway. If terms like 'whitewashed tombs full of dead men's bones' and 'brood of vipers' say anything, they express the Lord's perfect contempt for such hypocrisy and those who think they know more than God."
Fr. Euteneuer continued, "The recent statement by 48 hypocrites of the U.S. Congress criticizing the U.S. Catholic bishops for actually being Catholic deserves our withering contempt. In fact, they merit an all-out prophetic rebuke. Are the lost sheep to lecture the shepherds on how to pasture a flock?"
