I visited the website last night. All I could find on abortion was a document from 1991 stating the group adhered to the seamless garment philosophy in opposition to abortion. Yet at the end of the article there was a loophole implying a woman's conscience was the deciding factor in an abortion. I was left unclear as to the group's official position.

The woman who attended the recent local meeting came away with the idea the group was pro-abortion. I don't know exactly what was said as I wasn't there. She was told that parish funds would be used to pay the dues for any parishoner who wished to join. That is highly inappropriate IMO.

The national leaders of Pax Christi are "NCR Catholics," and that is their loophole on everything--primacy of conscience. I suggest you research what happened to stop the Pax Christi national convention in Memphis in the summer of 2001. That gives you a pretty good idea where the group stands on abortion.

The pax christi group is full of liberal democrats who support any govt. program, will rather keep the minorities on welfare and under govt. control, are against school choice of any kind and voucher programs, many members are school teachers and public employees who aren't in the private sector, they seem to hate corporations and the free market system. They hate President Bush with a passion. I was recently assaulted by a member of that group who was actually at a "peace" rally. Remember the Catholic Church is against Socialism.
