Time for all the bishops who cuddle and snuggle with Andrew Cuomo, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, John Kerry, et al., to come give rip-roaring speeches and be applauded by pro-lifers.
The sad thing about the March for Life is that its official purpose is to lobby Congress for the “Paramount Human Life Amendment”—a completely futile and unnecessary cause. All the while, by a SIMPLE MAJORITY VOTE, the Congress can remove abortion from the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. And the Congress can find that the unborn baby is a “person within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment,” which would nullify Roe v. Wade and every other USSC decision predicated on the non-personhood of the unborn baby.
The Catholic bishops COULD articulate Catholic teaching, which is that the abortion decisions are ALL NULL. The bishops COULD require that all Catholic governors treat the abortion decisions as nullities—i.e., disobey them. I.e., it is the duty of all governors to enforce the homicide laws against abortionists, disregarding all of the USSC’s abortion decisions. Catholic governors who obey the Supreme Court MUST be denied Communion. Otherwise, the local bishop and all his priests are in the state of mortal sin.
The Catholic Church has not even BEGUN to take its own teaching on abortion seriously.
