Why is this under "activism"? It's my activism!

I’m not Catholic, and I agree with this. The bishops are very influential.

[TopDog2]

All it would take is for one abortion promoting politician to be excommunicated. That would end the confusion.

Scripture tells us there are four sins that cry out to God for vengeance: murder (Gen 4:10), sodomy (Gen 17:20-21), .....
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
By this measure, the Catholic Church has no authority to speak. None at all.
Unpunished homosexuality and sexual abuse of children is present in so many areas of the entire Catholic system. And the coverups continue.
To paraphrase Billy Graham - If a holy God does not judge the Catholic Church, He might consider Adolph Hitler for a Nobel peace Prize. (considering Yassar Arafat got one, ..... I wonder why He hasn’t judged them (Nobel committee) also. But God alone is God, and I am not)

Don't expect help from the U.S. Bishops, FRiend. The USCCB is supporting the "Catholic Campaign for Human Development," which funds and otherwise supports pro-abortion and pro LGBT groups. You can check it out on the Complicit Clergy (complicitclergy.com) webite.

60 million inocents murdered. The vengeance of God is due.

1) If this were true, then why haven’t the Bishops long ago called for the ending of taking unborn lives? Blood is on their hands for their inaction.

2) The Bishops over-estimate their influence on today’s society. They could make any declaration they wish, and 75% of the population would say “Bishop who?”

[Pollard]

Aren’t 80% of abortions of blacks?

How many blacks are Catholic?

[Mercat]

Both my priest and my archbishop make it very clear that the primary issue for Catholics is life from conception to natural death. I’m blessed.

[packrat35]

One of the main reasons, I never became a Catholic is they let this evil continue unabated and NEVER come out strongly against it.

Most of the abortion loving Democrats in Congress call themselves Catholics. The irony is too strong for me to endure.

[RevelationDavid]

An honest question… And I mean no offense… But why do catholic Freepers post such long, wordy articles? Who is possibly going to read through all that?

[Socon-Econ]

Wrong. The root of the problem with abortion is sex outside of marriage and selfish, career oriented couples who view children as a huge inconvenience. When these attitudes decline, abortion will decline with them, no matter what the bishops do.
