CATHOLIC HYPOCRITS

Dear Editor Pro-abortion 'Catholic' politicians like Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry and Andrew Cuomo ought to be ashamed of themselves.

So should their do-nothing bishops----Cardinal Wuerl of Washington, DC, Cardinal O'Malley of Boston and Cardinal Dolan of New York!

How dare these politicians vote for abortion and Planned Parenthood time after time after time?

And how dare their bishops not discipline them, thereby scandalizing and demoralizing good Catholics?

You bet we mad at both. We are angry for all the babies who die while 'Catholic' politicians and bishops hobnob and dine and issue statements about peace and justice all the while the holocaust of the unborn goes on, directly aided and abetted by their action and inaction.

The blood of the babies is on the hands of the pro-abortion politicians for their sins of commission! The blood of the babies is on the hands of the do-nothing bishops for their sins of omission!

And Catholics who wanted to go into public life as politicians, or those called to the priesthood and were elevated to becoming bishops, knew that abortion was always and everywhere wrong and anyone who voted for it or participated in this crime would be excommunicated, denied communion, and denied all of the Sacraments until they repented of their evil ways!

This is in fact the most merciful way to help sinners change, so that they don't burn in the fires of hell!

At Citizens Concerned with Human Life, we have been fighting every day since the 1990s to end abortion. We are scandalized that the American bishops of the Catholic Church are not doing their job! It is within my rights as a Catholic to first ask, and then demand that our shepherds, our bishops take action now!

For decades we complained about Mario Cuomo and Teddy Kennedy, as two of the earliest prominent pro-abortion 'Catholic' politicians. Their horrible track records of voting for abortion and for Planned Parenthood's filthy and evil ways were a matter of public record. Despite that, they were celebrated by their bishops and were ultimately buried with full honors in a Catholic Church, with their respective Cardinals watching on.

And since they weren't corrected, admonished, shunned and excommunicated, their sinful support of abortion and Planned Parenthood is now touted and expanded by their own kids and family members!

A whole new generation of Cuomos and Kennedy 'Catholics' are in public life right now voting for and advocating for abortion and Planned Parenthood!

Had only Ted Kennedy and Andrew Cuomo's bishops acted then, maybe their progeny----and millions more American Catholics----would have said "I don't want to be embarrassed and excommunicated like Mario Cuomo and Ted Kennedy. There must be something seriously wrong with supporting abortion and Planned Parenthood. I'll find out more, and do more, and I'll be pro-life."

But that didn't happen! What a shame! What a wasted opportunity of saving so many souls! How many Catholics were led astray, putting their own immortal souls in jeopardy!

Don't tell me it didn't matter then, or doesn't matter now. In fact, today, if you ask 'sweet, Church-going little old ladies' from Ted Kennedy's home state of Massachusetts about him, they'll tell you what a wonderful man he was. And good-hearted New York Catholics still say what a fine man Mario Cuomo was, so why not vote for his son Andrew?

Since the bishops didn't speak, the people in the pews think abortion and Planned Parenthood are a-ok!

And the only one saying it's not ok is American Life League and a few other voices crying in the wilderness! Enough is enough! It's time for the American bishops to put their mouth where their money is and come out in favor of LIFE!

I love my fellow Americans and my fellow Catholics too much to let these sins that cry out to heaven for justice go on any longer. I have followed biblical precepts of approaching pro-abortion 'Catholic' politicians and do-nothing bishops quietly and privately first, and then returning with others to persuade and point out the error of their ways.

But they're not listening! So now, we must do like the bible says, and expose them for what they are until they change or get out of the way of righteousness! As Christ Himself counseled us to do:

"If another member of the church sins against you, go and point out the fault when the two of you are alone. If the member listens to you, you have regained that one. But if you are not listened to, take one or two others along with you, so that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If the member refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if the offender refuses to listen even to the church, let such a one be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector." ---- Matthew 18:15-17

In short, all Catholic politicians must vote against abortion and against Planned Parenthood funding, and if they don't, Catholic bishops must act swiftly and publically to explain why what they are doing is wrong and declare them excommunicated, to save all other Catholics from being led astray.

And if neither are willing to change, then it is up to us to hold them accountable, and to defend the babies and the faith, regardless of the discomfort we feel. This is not easy work, nor fun to do. I wish I didn't have to do it. But no one else is or will, so if you agree with me, I need your help today! Please click on this link and go to our website where you can make a gift today!

Your gift today will help ALL carry the fight for the babies all the way to the top, allowing us to do the investigation, research and boots-on-the-ground activism necessary to end abortion and hold 'Catholic' politicians and do-nothing bishops accountable!

How else will Nancy Pelosi/Cardinal Wuerl, John Kerry/Cardinal O'Malley, and Andrew Cuomo/Cardinal Dolan understand the eternal risk they face?

How else will we be able to end the slaughter of the innocent babies if they don't join us in this fight?

We need to pray and work like never before to set things right, as babies are dying every single day, and souls are being led astray. Please pray for victory against the evil of abortion!

PRAYER FOR PRIESS

GOD our FATHER,
WHO wills that all men be saved
And come to the knowledge of YOUR Truth:
We beg you to send
Laborers into YOUR harvest,
And grant them grace to speak YOUR Word
With all boldness; so that YOUR Word
May spread and be glorified,
And all nations may know YOU,
The only GOD, and HIM WHOM YOU have sent,
JESUS CHRIST YOUR SON, Our LORD. Amen.

Okay— you may have a point. But, I shouldn’t have said because these quieter priests in the US aren’t giving interviews on channel 2 in California, that they lack courage. Many do have courage, know their vocation and are grounded in prayer and Trust.

But let me say this, silence has become golden, considering the noise of the cabal out there yowling indignantly for more poor and socialist “workers” to swamp our churches and our country, proudly passing our Lord through the border fence to who knows who, for the cameras.

I think that before you call us “hypocrits” (sic) you should learn the correct spelling of the word...

THE WORD IS AS SKEWED AS THE PARISHIONER WHO IS PART OF THOSE PARISHIONERS WHO DO NOT MAKE UP THE CONFESSIONAL LINE ON SAT.

150 GO UP FOR THE EUCHARIST ON SUNDAY. I JUST WONDER HOW MANY OF THEM ARE IN THE STATE OF GRACE? 3-4 ON LINE ON SATURDAY GOING TO CONFESSION AND 150 RECEIVE.

AND I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE WHO HAVE CHEWED GUM WHILE RECEIVING. I ATTENDED MASS ON PENTECOST A FEW YEARS AGO. IMAGINE? NO ONE KNEW THE ANSWER TO WHAT PENTECOST MEANT TO THE CHURCH. THE AVERAGE CATHOLIC WOULD BE CHEWED UP AND SPIT OUT IF THEY WERE CALLED ON FOR APOLOGETICS

I GREW UP IN THE 1930S AND 1940S. WE KNEW OUR CATECHISM. ST PAUL WOULD BE HAVING FITS IF HE WERE PHYSICALLY ACTIVE TODAY

MORE!

I AM ACTIVE IN PRO LIFE AND IT WOULD AMAZE YOU IF YOU KNEW HOW MANY IN THE PEWS ON SUNDAY THINK IT IS A POLITICAL ISSUE

I HAVE HAD THE LAY PRINCIPAL OF OUR SCHOOL TELL ME SHE DOESN’T WANT THE KIDS TO “PROTEST”

I BELIEVE THE AVERAGE CATHOLIC, TODAY, DOESN’T KNOW WHAT SIN IS. WHEN DID YOU LAST HEAR A HOMILY ABOUT SIN? AND WHY DO PRIESTS RECEIVE UNSIGNED LETTERS OR EMAILS PROTESTING HOMILIES ABOUT GAY MARRIAGE

3-4 ON LINE ON SATURDAY GOING TO CONFESSION AND 150 RECEIVE.

Not in the Phoenix metro area. You're lucky if you get to go to confession after waiting in line for an hour.
