Nice touch to present the cards with the gifts, asking God’s blessing on the efforts, and showing this is an offering to HIM, not simply a political matter.
I thought so too.
Diocese of Worcester Launches F.O.C.A. Post Card Drive
The Catholic Free Press reported that Bishop McManus called for a very successful post card drive this past weekend, joining fellow bishops across the United States in mobilization of the Catholic laity to call upon their representatives in Congress to oppose the proposed F.O.C.A. legislation.
Citing the effects of F.O.C.A. provisions which would prove the most far-sweeping, radical and insidious federal mandate in our nation’s history, Bishop McManus noted that “the innocent unborn child deserves that his or her God-given right to life be safeguarded,” and further added that “some disturbing implications of FOCA, or any other law or executive order like it, are that taxpayers would have to pay through their tax dollars for abortions that they find morally wrong.”
The words proved prophetic as hours later President Obama reversed years of prudent federal policy that prohibited taxpayer funds to be used for abortions across international waters and borders.
