Led of the Spirit......Or Polling Data?

"The Roman Catholic bishops of the United States plan...to launch what they are calling a major campaign to end the use of the death penalty." This was reported in the March 20 issue of 'The Boston Globe,' in an article titled, "Campaign Set Against Executions." This "plan" began March 21.

Catholic bishops say they are led by the Holy Spirit – but evidently NOT in this case! The reason the bishops are doing this NOW is because:

"The bishops, according to an aide, have been emboldened...by polling that they say shows a dramatic increase in opposition to capital punishment among Catholic Americans."

Polling data?? It figures!! Catholic bishops claim to be direct "successors to the apostles," but I don't see anywhere in the bible where Peter, John, or Paul depended on opinion polls!

This is just another attack by the Catholic Church on the American legal system. Rome has always hated and worked for the downfall of Protestant nations.

Coincidentally this same weekend, a horrible case of the abduction, sexual assault, and murder of nine-year-old Jessica Lunsford of Homosassa, Florida – taken right from her home – has been in the news. The killer has been caught and admitted to the crime. Local authorities have already said they will seek the death penalty for the killer.

We must wonder what the Catholic Church says to do with such a man?

BUT – come to think of it – the Catholic Church has always been great friend and defender of child molesters. The killer of Jessica Lunsford is probably hoping the US Catholic bishops are successful in their fight against the death penalty!

Question – Which occupation has the highest percentage of child molesters?

Answer – the Roman Catholic priesthood!

May God give Americans the grace to see that the US Catholic bishops are not only great enemies of our liberties, but have shown themselves to be the best friends of child molesters.
