God bless you, Bishop Martino!!! Deo Gratias!!!!

The spokesman, William Genello, also released a statement that noted the bishop attended the event because he “was concerned because of the confusion and public misrepresentations about Catholic teaching on the life issues.

“Certain groups and individuals have used their own erroneous interpretations of Church documents, particularly the U.S. Bishops’ statement on Faithful Citizenship, to justify their political positions and to contradict the Church’s actual teaching on the centrality of abortion, euthanasia and embryonic stem cell research,” the statement said.

“When Bishop Martino heard how some of these issues were being presented at the forum, he determined that he must address the forum to fulfill his obligation as the authentic teacher of the Catholic faith in his diocese.”

If you have first hand knowledge of misconduct on the part of the abp., you can complain to Rome.

Re the priest, you'll have to complain to the abp. first, but upon receiving no satisfaction you carry it on up to Rome.

Fr. Zuhlsdorf's blog has complete instructions on how to frame a complaint.

As a sidewalk Prayer Warrior fighting to end abortion I say,

Keep it up!!! Keep those prayers coming!!! God is hearing us and he is responding to the righteous prayers of the faithful crying out for His help. He is moving his bishops to stand on the side of life. All glory and honor to God, for he is good.

Bishop Martino is quoted as saying:

According to the Independent, the bishop also said he no longer supports the Democratic Party.

In the letter Little Murders, Archbishop Chaput of Denver stated that he wrote his new book, released August 12, 2008, because of the problems of a pro-life Democrat that he knew that ran for office.

Not all Democrats are pro-abort... Most are... Though...
