Genuinely pro-life hierarchy will naturally turn out. And those who are of the McHugh ilk have the perfect opportunity to score some "pro-lifer" points while themselves co-opting the pro-life Catholic vote for the party who -- using deathist Exceptions, never pro-life Litmus Tests -- actually ensures legal abortion is here to stay.
I like the way you talk...............
Using deathist exceptions.........it sounds so nice.....................;)
Well, we're certainly simpatico in that respect, no?
(Though I think of my take as very simple: Respect life, start to finish.)
Thanks for the kind words ... and for the timely caveats. Cynicism is really not something into which I'd care to devolve.
Sorry for the late reply...no computer time lately! I agree with you. I have networked with a group of like minded parishioners we are going to go to the priest and the diocese as a united front. We are lucky to have Bishop Donohue, without his firm leadership, I would despair for my Church.

"I will not withhold communion from pro choice political candidates"
