No, Geoffy, the decision was based on the fact that partial birth abortion is outright murder, which is a violation of the right to life.
Might be worth a baptist ping.
>>Our Catholic brothers and sisters will not have to wait to hear our voices forcefully raised against the bigotry now directed against them.<<
I would like to thank each and every one! And may Our Lord bless them!
It also shows how AU was founded by the socialist, atheist, anti-Catholic bigot Paul Blanshard, just as PP was founded by the socialist, atheist, racist, anti-Catholic bigot Margaret Sanger.
About 75% of the practicing Episcopalians I have met, and about 100% of the liberal, anti-Akinola practicing Episcopalians I have met, are virulent anti-Catholics.
A good portion of them are people who were raised Catholic but went ECUSA because of their sexual and/or reproductive proclivities.
My personal experience is that if an Episcopalian does not believe the Bible is true, then chances are very good he hates Catholics.
Wrong friend. I am a Christian 24x7x365 as are most Catholics. There are some that have certainly not been educated in their faith, but that can be said for every religion.
And to forestall the obvious rebuttal, I agree that faith is about more than going to church. But church attendence can be measured.
“Nor was anything heard from the mainline Protestant denominations that are regarded by many Catholic liberals as Catholicism’s true friends and ecumenical conversation partners. Leaders of the Presbyterian Church U.S.A., the Episcopal Church, the United Methodist Church, the United Church of Christ, etc. were silent.”
No, they are not friends of the Catholic Church. When you mentioned “Baptist ping” I was reminded that the Baptist Church is the only one that works with the Catholic Church in this country.
Not all Catholics are “Chriesters” (Christmas and Easter).
And even if New England is in favor of any kind of abortion and is also nominally Catholic (which I cannot understand) it still doesn’t add up to Catholics being pro-choice and Protestants being pro-life. It just doesn’t add up.
What about it doesn't add up? New England is filled with a bunch of liberal Catholics (or completely lapsed Catholics) and the South is fulled with a bunch of conservative Protestants. I am not holding up cryptic data here. We all know about New England and the South.
Southerners are just more conservative and more religious than the average Northeasterner, be they Catholic or Protestant.
(and the idea that the NE is Catholic would come as a huge surprise to the Boston Brahmins and old New Yorkers, not to mention all those Congregationalists and Presbyterians . . . )
Since there is only one “Church”, and the Catholic church is it, I’d have to say Catholics attend Church at vastly superior numbers to any other denomination. Enjoy attending your ecclesial community meeting come the Lord’s Day. God Bless.
I really don’t know about Catholics in the north east, but that is not the only place catholics reside, nor a valid gauge of Catholic’s Christianity.
That would be like me saying there are no (what ever protty religion) because there is not a church for them in my Midwest town.
Most Catholics are growing in their commitment to Christ, bet out of the northeast and you may see things are really quite different in our wonderful country.
Why I am not a Catholic. Let go of the legalism and follow the Holy Spirit. There is a reason why freedom happened in America and not Italy.
You do it purely to stir the pot and create bad feeling.
New England is the only place where Catholicism is the majority denomination. It is much easier for a Catholic in the south or midwest to be devout because all their friends are Protestants, and they are devout too. But get a bunch of Catholics together so that they can dictate the cultural norms, and you find apostasy.
