What would Padre Pio have said to those pro-abortion Catholic politicians of today who persist in describing themselves as faithful Catholics? Would he be boot the likes of Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden out of his confessional, if they insisted on defending their support of pro-abortion legislation? Hopefully, when in the actual presence of the saint, they would be touched by God’s grace and realize their mistake. But if they persisted . . . ? Would he speak out against a political party whose official platform supported abortion, and whose candidate was an extremist on the issue, resolutely committed to the support of this intrinsic evil? Would he say that those who vote for such candidates are endangering their own salvation and risking eternal damnation? As St. Pio famously replied to an unrepentant liberal who said he did not believe in hell, “You will when you get there!”

And I ask all who claim faith in Jesus as Lord: When did Jesus’ humanity begin? Was it at the moment of Annunciation(conception)? When John the Baptist, himself in the womb, leapt in recognition of Christ in the womb of Mary? When Christ was born?

Pray, pray, pray! That is all we can do. Ask God to heal our nation, forgive our sins and restore our faith.
