In 1950, “Catholic” doctor John Rock (pal of M. Sanger), was killing fertilized eggs—embryos—in the laboratory. Catholics clamored for his excommunication. Cardinal Cushing refused. We now know that Cushing was in the closet.
Cushing,as bishop,confirmed me. I go waaay back to Richard Cushing and the Spellman family.
They were the Catholic “elite” in those days.
