DENVER - Denver Catholic Archbishop Charles Chaput says Democrats simply don't know Christianity if they insist on continuing to spin the Bible's teachings on abortion.

"It's always important to know what our faith actually teaches," he said in a "clarification" for Catholics in northern Colorado as Democratic National Committee members met in Denver this week to hear a speaker from the National Abortion Rights Action League promote Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, as the next "pro-choice" president.

Chaput's also appeared at a pro-life prayer vigil outside the massive new Planned Parenthood abortion facility in Denver, reportedly the largest abortion megaclinic in the nation.

"The future of a community, a people, a church and a nation depends on the children who will inherit it," he said at the event. "If we prevent our children from being born, we remove ourselves from the future. It's really that simple. No children, no future.

"We need to remember two basic truths. Here's the first truth. Society has an obligation – and Christians have a Gospel duty – to provide adequate and compassionate support for unwed and abandoned mothers women facing unintended pregnancies; and women struggling with the aftermath of an abortion. It's not enough to talk about 'pro-life politics,' The label 'pro-life' demands that we work to ensure social policies that will protect young women and families, and help them generously in their need. In the archdiocese of Denver we try very hard to do that through the Gabriel Project and other forms of outreach and support.

“Democrats simply don’t know Christianity” Oh, they know it alright, they just reject it.

He dares to question the party of the Olympian Messiah?!

This Bishop's statement should be circulated throughout every church congregation in America, for, sadly, its message is not clearly articulated by many church leaders.

Its message is at the very heart of our liberty as a people, as capsulized by Thomas Jefferson: "The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them."

They're still out there, and courageous too. I subscribe to Voice of the Martyrs newsletter some years ago, and through it I became really aware of what was happening around the world with so-called Muslim "warriors", who were butchering innocent civilians for practicing their Christianity, particularly in Indonesia at that time. Now this scourge has spread its evil far and wide.

“Denver Catholic Archbishop Charles Chaput says Democrats simply don’t know Christianity if they insist on continuing to spin the Bible’s teachings on abortion.”

This nails it. The rat does not understand Christian doctrine and doesn’t want to either. When barack mcgovern picked a bunch of baby killers as his “Catholic Outreach” team he showed this very clearly.
