Why Did it Take Them 31 Years?

US Catholic bishops met in closed-door sessions this past week. Seeking to re-establish their "moral authority" after the sex abuse crisis, the bishops are using the blood of unborn babies and finally playing that card they've been holding for 31 years - abortion!

Have these men no shame?

Since abortion was made legal in 1973, Catholic bishops really haven't pressed anyone - especially Catholic politicians - on this issue. Until now. The bishops just published a letter called "Catholics in Political Life." The highlights of this letter were published in a June 18 'Catholic News Service' article ominously titled, "Bishops Warn Politicians Who Consistently Back Abortion."

As to whether bishops should deny the Roman eucharist to Catholic abortion supporters, in typical Catholic fashion, the bishops left it wide open for interpretation:

"Given the wide range of circumstances involved in arriving at a prudential judgment...the bishops recognize that such decisions rest with the individual bishop..."

Comment - Can't this "church" that boasts of it's 'oneness' come to 'one' decision on this?

The article also said:

"They (Catholic bishops) said they would counsel Catholic politicians who consistently work against restrictions on abortion that their support for abortion on demand risks making them cooperators in evil in a public manner."

Comment - It's too bad the Catholic bishops are not denying the eucharist to those who protect sexual perverts and obstruct justice - then they would have to deny it to themselves!

Question - Why did it take them 31 years to publish a letter like this? Answer - Because Catholic bishops don't care a whit whether one baby or a million babies are aborted, but in only using the abortion issue to strengthen their "moral authority."

May God stop abortion, and may Jesus Christ expose the Roman Catholic bishops for what they really are - enemies of the gospel and - antichrist!
