Maybe some folks could stop off in Scranton when returning from the March for Life.
I know 10 years ago that the Bishop of Scranton was very strongly pro-life. But I believe that very good Bishop has retired...
“Jesuit” - says it all.
Thanks for Posting Topher, I will be at TFP’s HQ up in PA this weekend, and at the March on Monday with them! :D God Bless our Country, I signed the petition! and posted it to facebook.

Father Quinn,
What is so disturbing about the selection of Marjorie Margoles to be the keynote speaker of the Campaign Training for Women program is not the disobedience to the bishop and to Pope Benedict. I get that Jesuits have always revelled in their dissent, and have been vindicated by history in the past. It’s not like she’s presenting on one topic, and her views on another, unrelated topic are tripping her up. It’s that Marjorie Margoles is precisely what Campaign Training for Women ought to be opposing. Having her present for such a program is like having David Duke present on “Healing Inter-racial Relationships.”
She’s not a liberal Democrat whose moral failures and cowardice led her to support the party’s stance on abortion, like, say, former Gov. Hugh Carey of New York. She’s issue first, party second, and her chosen issue is abortion. She’s authored bills that would take away the first-amendment rights of Catholics to protest against abortion. She supports the government taking taxpayer’s money to give directly for abortion. She recognizes no right to dissent, no right to decline, no right to refuse.
This is who the University of Scranton believes should be teaching Catholic women how to engage in politics?
When I was in Scranton, there was a thoroughly disgusting rumor that President ***** and/or Fr. *****, both wonderful, warm-hearted people, had been associated with the Nazis when they were young. From what I knew of Fr. ******, he was a great man. And I consider Fr. ****** a friend. The vulgarity of the rumor was exceeded only by its pointlessness; the idiots who were spreading it didn’t even seem to have any malice towards Fr. ****** or Fr. ******. Some day, after we’ve put an end to such mindless killing as Marjorie Margoles advocates, a young Scranton graduate will say, “I heard a disgusting rumor that President Quinn supported the American holocaust. Surely something so vulgar can’t possibly be true?” And I will ache that I cannot deny it.
Guess what The Pro Abortion Speaker is lost to Rick Santorum in 1994 is also Chelsea Clintons Mother in Law...and Husband is a FELON!
