I wonder what the author would think of the Manhattan Declaration...

[Doc Savage]

Canada’s Parliament has passed several pro-Islamic measures to allow provincial amnesty for terrorist atrocities as well as condoning the legal killing of daughters in ‘family honor’ killings. In other proceedings, Parliament voted to change the Maple Leaf to the Islamic Crescent. The Toronto Maple Leafs will now be called the Islamic Butchers.

When the House of Representatives passed a health-care reform bill this month that included a watertight prohibition on federal funding for elective abortions,

Unfortunately the Catholic heirarchy has no such qualms about theft. They're all for robbing Peter to pay Paul as long as Peter is a hard working successful American and Paul is a lazy welfare parasite. They should pay a little attention to the following quote form the late Adrian Rogers, head of the Southern Baptist conference for many years.

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

Hmmmm, tell you what, Canada. You take all the Muslems and we’ll keep those naggy Catholics. Deal?

Refusing to give an abortion supporter communion is actually doing the person a favor.

Those who take communion in an unworthy manner, bring upon themselves damnation. The more they do it, the more damned they become.

Kennedy should be thankful that there is a priest who takes the Communion ritual serious enough to prevent him from eating and drinking himself to damnation. If every priest did this, then Abortion could be stopped or at least seriously curtailed, since many of the primary congressional and Senate leaders who push the Abortion agenda call themselves Catholic, yet are not in Communion with the Church on this most vital issue.

Gee, who is it who is reaching "for the levers of power" on the pro-abortion side with their pressure tactics? Who promotes genocidal embryonic stem cell research? Who forces children into statist secular humanist schools? Who holds sway over the mainstream media and elite colleges? Who teaches the lie that an unborn child is not a human being?

"Most of us believe socialism is what the socialists want us to believe it is - a share-the-wealth program. That is the theory. But is that how it works?...
If one understands that socialism is not a share-the-wealth program, but is in reality a method to consolidate and control the wealth, then the seeming paradox of super-rich men promoting socialism becomes no paradox at all. Instead it becomes the logical, even the perfect tool of power-seeking megalomaniacs. Communism, or more accurately, socialism, is not a movement of the downtrodden masses, but of the economic elite."

the Globe and Mail is what the New York Times would be if only they had the foresight to hire away the top five editors from Pravda in the 1970’s

While the church has been downgrading such ideas as Limbo and Purgatory in recent years, perhaps they do need more distinction in the laity. That is, something of a sliding scale by which lay people can “rate” themselves as to “how Catholic” they are.

On one side of the scale are those who “practice what is preached” in their lives, and truly seek communion with the church. On the other side is the heterodox leading to the heretical, be they Nancy Pelosi or a Voodoo Priestess who sees Catholic Saints as no different from Loa, plays with poisonous snakes in graveyards, and burns black candles to put curses on people while reciting the Lord’s Prayer backwards.

Or what the Voodoo Priestess does, either.

In Proverbial terms, the shepherd who cares for and is concerned with their sheep, does not do them justice in the long run if they ignore the goats among the sheep. While the shepherd might hope that the goats learn to behave themselves as sheep with gentle encouragement, the goats must first know that they are goats, so if they continue to behave like goats, they will be separated from the flock.

The same applies to “social Catholics”, who ask for support from the flock, yet personally act like goats.

How Catholic politicians regard abortion is a final, acid test of their faith. But that is an extreme. Instead they should be given a litmus test, so they can themselves see how acid they have become in their lives. If they truly reject their faith, at least they ought to see that rejection coming.

The G&M commentary fits right in with my opus on Emperical Socialism. If a member of a group which advocates abortion changes their mind, or a member of a group which activly advocates gun control sides with the NRA gets tossed out. The G&M would offer salutatory headlines.

The Archbishop of Washington, Donald Wuerl, is warning councillors that church charities might withdraw from the publicly funded initiatives they run to feed and house the city's poor if the bill is adopted. In Canada, such warnings might not go far.

So much the worse for Canada. Bishop Wuerl is making no idle threat. He is completely free to tell City Council to pound sand ... and City Council can't really do anything about it.
