"Catholic University" bans pro-abortion speakers, Bishops to Catholic Politicians: Vote Pro Life

Yep. I don’t know if you recall this or not, but Bernardin, an avid Democrat, was worried after 1980 when Reagan whipped Carter and Catholics were starting to vote more and more GOP, and the Congress was becoming less Donkey. It was at Fordam in 1983 that Bernardin announced his “Seamless Garment” theory and thus “freed” Catholics to vote for pro-abort pols.

Bernardin also made arrangements for a gay choir to sing at his funeral Mass, which they did, behind a large banner identifying themselves as gay. I believe they were the Windy City Gay Men’s Choir (or Chorus).

Who did he live with? Who were his friends? (According to the 11/97 Washington Blade, a homosexual newspaper, the Cardinal himself had arranged for the Windy City Gay Chorus to sing at his wake at Holy Name Cathedral. It did so behind a sign prominently displaying its name.) What kinds of men did he associate with and help elevate to bishop? Who praised him? Who followed him and what was the result? RCF has spent the last four years looking for those answers.

Don't be confused by interpretation of 'garment of life'

The direct killing of innocent human beings at any stage of development, including the embryonic and fetal, is homicidal, gravely sinful and always profoundly wrong.

So what is the real story about Cardinal Ratzinger's statement? Can Catholics Vote Pro-Abortion?

Thanks. I'm familiar with RCF. They are hated by the U.S. bishops ... and they do great work!

As I said yesterday, I would love to see JPII (or the next Pope) fire some of our bishops. Imagine if we awoke tomorrow to discover that Egan, McCarrick, and Mahony had been "retired" by the Pope and replaced by Chaput, Yanta, and Fabian. The USCCB would clean up its act so fast it would create a tornado. Well, one can hope!

This stat is in George Gilder's "Wealth and Poverty" in the 1980s. For my book, "The Entreprenuerial Adventure: A History of Business in the U.S." (Harcourt, 2000: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0155084550/qid=1097498434/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/102-6679035-8484967?v=glance&s=books) I looked at the Forbes 400 richest in 1990 and then again in either 1995 or 1998 (I forget) and looked at the number whose bios said they had not been to college or high school.

Gilder does that. His book quotes a figure of 1/3 of all male supermillionaires received no inheritance at all. So just find those, and figure out who went to college.

I think you'll find that most who inherit wealth DO go to college---rather than to work.
