Dear Readers,
Nancy Pelosi yesterday, Ted Kennedy at the Convention the day before and now our stories on Joe Biden today, yesterday and Tuesday. These should make it clear that, despite the wonderful statements by prominent US bishops in recent days, pro-abortion Catholic US politicians are not going to actually understand the church's teaching on abortion until the bishops use more than words, words, to uphold truth and charity.
Mind you, strong words are a first necessary part of the process. But then, and the hour is very late, over 30 years late - the bishops must prove to their understandably wayward flock in Congress and the Senate and in governors' chairs, etc. that abortion is murder and support for that murder is a very grave violation of God's laws of love. So far, we suggest the bishops have still not proved that, although we do applaud the recent statements.
Now is the time for long overdue actions, not as punishment, but as acts of charity to the pro-abortion Catholic politicians. Actions are also needed to correct the many years of deadly public confusion caused by the fact that these politicians have been able to continue in good standing in the Church while facilitating mass murder of unborn children. That has been sending a strong message that even militant abortion advocacy is not that serious for Catholics.
Will John McCain select a pro-life running mate? We hope and pray he does. Joe Lieberman would be a dreadful choice and Mitt Romney would also be a big problem.
The Mexico situation is of great concern. Once again, pro-aborts in yet another nation are succeeding in using corrupt judges to bypass democracy and the will of the people to force abortion on the nation. One thing is certain, the international de-populationists are behind all these nefarious occurrences.
Today's story on the Philippine's court judgment shows that the courts there are not easily bribed and corrupted as they have been in so many other nations. Bravo for them.
Canada's Conservative government is fanatical about avoiding even the slightest appearance of standing up for life. Well, no matter how much they do to stop anyone who tries to raise the abortion issue during elections, it comes up anyway. Really, how do you hide the annual murder of over 100,000 of the most innocent Canadians? It cries to heaven for justice. All the other issues are nothing compared to this.
Hearing no evil, seeing no evil, when great evil is taking place, is complicity with evil.
Over 100 Canadian Members of Parliament have indicated their opposition to the awarding of the Order of Canada to abortionist Henry Morgentaler. That makes abortion an election issue, no matter what the cold-blooded backroom strategists would prefer.
And then there is Bill C-484, the Unborn Victims of Violence Bill - not an abortion bill. By their shocking opposition to the bill because of their intense fear of anything that the pro-aborts see as an abortion issue, the Conservatives have made abortion an election issue. Opponents to C-484 can only be fanatically pro-abortion or very cowardly. There are no other explanations for opposition to such a common sense, just law that is supported by people of various views on abortion and a large majority of the public.
It's time for the Canadian voters to forget their usual voting patterns and vote only for principled individual candidates of any party rather than vote for the parties.
