God wants us to accept the truth with THE FREE WILL He gave us, that's what pleases Him!
I know its difficult, but the wheat and the weeds have to grow together until Judgement Day.
Mt 3:12; Mt 13: 26-30
The Catholics who support abortion are what we call cafeteria Catholics. They pick and choose what they want (according to their own will and not following the directions of the Catholic Church.)
If they want to go to the coast on Sunday — they do it.
If they want to contracept — they do it.
If they want to ignore their Bishop and their pastor who is supporting for life — they ignore it.
If the church asks them to attend Mass on Holy Days of Obligation — they ignore it.
They think that their WILL is wiser than God’s will. Amazingly they will be quite surprised at God’s judgment on the last day!
It’s just like going through a cafeteria and only picking up the foods you want.
Cafeteria Catholics or CINOs — Catholics in Name Only. (Kerry, Kennedy, Pelosi, Biden also come to mind.) But they are out there in our parishes too.
I get quite perturbed sometimes and have to remind myself that I can offer brotherly advice, but I am not responsible for their soul.
Let me know if any of this makes sense, OK?
