Freep them and let them know the Catholic Church can not support Pro-abortion politicians. Ask for the Bishop's and Brother Superior resignations. This posting was not done by Fr. Peter West and has no knowledge thereof.

This picture shows what a liar the: Bishop of Paterson, Fr. Mark Condon, and Bro. Paul, Benedictine Brother who is Guardian of the Monastary, are. Without the use of the entrance road from route 3, the parking lot and the toilet facilities, the event could not have taken place. The 3 armed, off-duty police officers which kept some pro-life activists off of the Monastery property, were also: standing on, using, directing traffic and keeping representatives of www.CatholicVote.org, www.njrtl.org, and some Protestant ministers from protesting Jim McSleezy, the Catholic Pro-abortion, Democrat Candidate for Governor; ON THE CATHOLIC PROPERTY

This all happened on Consecrated, Roman Catholic property.

Why on earth is a Roman Catholic Church renting their property to a Pro-Abortion, partial-birth abortion, Gubernatorial Candidate Jim McGreevey who, in addition, is against the parental notification amendment.

Good question, Coleus. Trial answer: Because some apostolic shepards and clergy of the Holy Roman Catholic Church wish it to become nothing more than a "civic club for socially-compatible families." Which is what Eric Voegelin said churches become, once they lose their soul.

And he didn't restrict this phenomenon to the Church of Rome. Reformed Chruch, indeed, all religious confessions are subject to the reductionism of spirit that can be called "doctrine" -- the summary of truth that is unlived.

Truth that is lived -- by the Holy Grace of God -- is what we call Faith.

Frankly, it upsets me to no end that ordained, sanctified lives choose to dedicate themselves to public broils like this, rather than nurturing the life of the Spirit in their communicants. Thanks for the bump -- and the post -- Coleus. best, bb.
